Show Needed Badly! The alumnae of South high school number somewhere around 20,000, quite a sizeable figure for a school which has been in existence 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 responsibility 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. |
