Small, tim-id, and loves perfume, especially "Sweet Surrender". Sweet, cute as they come, and just awfully cuddly. Tipified by Clara Era-pe- y. 2. Touch-Me-N- ot. Always per-fect groomed, and having that "come hither" appearance. Love-ly to look at Enjoys crocheting and looks adorable in Baby Blue. For an example of this number look at Ernestine Poulson. Likes the Lieutenant Colonel better than any boy in the school. 3. Screwball. Beware of this individual. You meet her in the most unexpected places, under floor boards, beside empty kleen-e- x boxes, etc. Loves to eat and likes to hang around Sgt. Red-mond's office. Name's Eugenia Bennett, and she looks too cute for words in lavender and old lace. 4. Do Do. Tells everybody she went to see Tyrone Power in "The Filthy Fowl" when she means, "The Black Swan". Con-tinually asking dumb questions such as, "Has the assembly been cancelled again?" Dumb as they come, but with such a love for the finer things of life like su-gar, gasoline, and rubber. Step aside for Paulete Roberts who is going to give Vera Vague a little competition. 5. Shy, retiring and coy. Wears fuschia nail polish. Adores Leopold Stowkowski sym-phonies, and gushes over the small crowds and weeps when faced by people. Wants to be-come a harpist or flutest and deserves a sewing kit for her birthday. To illustrate this type, see Fredrica Seabold in Miss Martin's home room. 6. Athletic. She'll protect you. Take her out on a date, and you needn't fear. Interested in things. Interested in nice clothes. Inter-ested in things in nice clothes. Step forth, Miss nonna Giacomo. Hole CUBBY SAYS: I have just been listening to the Hit Parade, and the things song titles don't bring to my mind will not be mentioned in this column. To begin with, There Are Such Things as the swell, all-arou- nd assembly Dottie Brown gave us Friday. Praise the Lord for all the good talent displayed. As I was sitting in my next period, I heard a masculine voice say, "I Can't Get Out of This Mood." Yes, 'twas Hayden Gallagher worrying about the petrol ration-ing. I rushed through the halls afterwards, I heard Jack Wharton say to his locker part-ner, "Just because I own the only blasted key to this locker, do you think that Every Thing I Got Belongs To You?" I gazed at the war posters in the hall, and my thoughts turned to all of the boys who will soon be hearing the words "This Is the Army. I don't care if you do take a size nine shoe, you're getting a size 12." So ends this story. Monday we will be back at school with all the worry and hurry and studies and buddies that school means. That's What I Like About the South. Needed Badly! The alumnae of South high school number somewhere around 20,000, quite a sizeable figure for a school which has been in exist-ence only 12 years. And though we pride ourselves on having one of the few alumni associations for high schools in the country, we cannot today account for even a majority of those old grads. Our school historian, through no fault of his own, is idle most of the time. The work of keeping the record of South for posterity is left for the librarians. Why then, in times when old alums are being killed, married, moved, or perhaps taken from the limelight, shouldn't the historian take the responsibil-ity of keeping the graduate lists up with the times? The scribe has appointed a member of its staff to begin the keeping of such records. But its only a beginning. The student body needs either an alumni secretary or an active historian, and possibly even a full time office clerk to keep such records. We heartily endorse such a movement. It is necessary for the progress of South high school. It is necessary for the upkeep of the alumni association. It is necessary to keep South abreast of the times. South needs an alumni secretary. Courage of FDR Accents Plea In Dime Drive In August of 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt went on a hunting and 1 fishing trip near Lake Glen Sev-ern. He was not feeling very well, but, nevertheless, he decid-ed to take a cold dip in a small land-lock- ed pond. He ran a mile home, and sat on the porch to read the mail. A chill came over him, and he went to bed. Several days later found Mr. Roosevelt with paralyzed legs and a high fever. Mrs. Roose-velt was panic-stricke- n when she found it to be infantile paralysis. Because no nurse was available, she nursed him day and night. At Christmas time, F. D. R. was feeling well enough to sit in a wheel chair, and read to the tenement children his abridged version of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" Franklin D. Roosevelt's mother wanted her son to retire from politics, and rest in a wheel chair at Hyde Park. However, his wife wanted him to resume his interest in public life as soon as he could. By spring, he was able to get around on crutches, and he . carried on most of his daily ac-tivities as before. In the spring of 1922, Governor Smith asked Mr. Roosevelt to manage his pre-- convention campaign for the ) presidential nomination. Everyone makes sacrifices. So did Franklin D. Roosevelt. While - he was in Warm Springs taking treatments that might have re-stored the full use of his legs, he was asked to run for Govern-or of the state of New York. Today, President Roosevelt is leading a fight against many foes.- One of them is infantile paralysis. Help him fight this menace by giving that dime, that quarter, or that dollar. Give yourself that peace of mind by safeguarding yourself against that disease. You can make a Jap run By the point of a gun. But this disease will live If you do not GIVE. Basketball Goes Social at South "No, Roy's not the ref, dope, he's the cheerleader." "Doesn't that guard look cute in those shorts?" "But I could run faster than Dave if it was after that darling forward." "I washed my hair last night and that was NOT a foul!" The basketball season is once again upon us. This year the boys are going to be on their GUARD when the girls try to CENTER attention upon them-selves by putting their best faces FORWARD. It's the masculine opinion that the games are strictly sport. Could "B", but with all those combs and mirrors, and remarks, basketball seems slightly more on the social side. When the gym is ringing with the shrill screams emitting from the swan-lik- e ( ? ) throats of en- - thusiastic Cub-ette- s, it's a cinch an adorable forward has made a basket. . Don't misunderstand, most of the girls go to the games purely for the sport of the thing a hundred, anyway. We-1- 1, fifty er, twenty-fiv- e well, ten a you can always count that Mrs. Long will be there to see the result of her husband's "C" team. Students May Aid Blood Bank Students who are sixteen years or over, if they wish to, may donate blood to the Blood Bank. The address of this society is 115 South Main in this city. For more infor-mation, you may call 91, or get In toucn with the American Red Cross. Many of you are asking, "What is a blood test like?" A blood test is an experiment which determines the type of blood the donor possesses. A Wasserman test is given to de-tect any disease which may be present in the blood. The donor may possess type 2 or 4, . which are very common; or, they may pos-sess types 1 or 3, which are of a rare nature. The needle is inserted in the vein at the inside bend of the arm, and the donor pumps j his hand until one pint of blood is obtained. The blood passes into a self-seali- ng beaker which is placed in the blood bank. In the past, 21 days was the time limit of keeping the blood, but a scientific development has made it possible for the blood to be made into a dry plasma that can be kept easily. j As a rule, the donor feels no ill effects, but he cannot donate any more blood until 60 days have passed. Will you help save the lives of our fighti-ng; men? Dorsey Relates His Many Interests for Scribe Tommy Dorsey, who recently introduced the song hit, "There Are Such Things," is a man of many interests. Of these, his fondness of dogs rank near the top. At the present time he is the owner of six of them whose breeds range from Great Danes to Terriers. A particular favorite of his is a Newfoundland called "Ring'." He was given to Tommy as a token of friendship by the crooner, Bing Crosby. The bandleader's biggest headache these days is keeping his band intact. Uncle Sam seems to be furnishing some stiff competi-tion, as eighteen of his boys have thus far been called to serve their country's colors. Only one member of his 31 piece orchestra need bring him no worries in this respect, that person being his harp player a girl. Upon concluding his one night stay in Salt Lake City, Mr. Dorsey left on a tour of dance spots throughout the West, after which he is scheduled to appear with his band in "Girl Crazy" starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. Phyllis Clayton was selected re-cently to assume responsibilities of alumni secretary of the Scribe staff. (See editorial, page 2.) Faced with the problem of managing to eat chile with a fork or die of slow starva-tion, South high students pledged this week to forego the making of bracelets from cafeteria spoons and employ their talents in more con-structive channels. Yes, Cub, every time you bent a spoon to serve as jew-elry you deprived yourself of an eating utensil, as spoons are not being replaced, Mrs. Grace Salisbury, cafeteria manager, reported. Mrs. Salisbury said that many spoons are carelessly put in garbage cans or left in sacks. Hence, only a limited supply is left on hand in the cafeteria.
