Cub Sociologists Hear Speakers At the invitation of H. R. Atkin's sociology classes, several visiting speakers gave lectures on the problem of juvenile delinquency during the second week in March. The speakers were Lieutenant Harvey Pierce of the Salt Lake Po-lice Department, Judge Euland Clark of the Juvenile Court, Grant S. Young of the Sheriff's Office, and their assistants. Many startling facts were re-vealed to the students concerning the juvenile delinquencies in Utah. The fact was stressed that most of these offenses are caused by un-favorable home environment, lack of education, and the poor habits of youth. The speakers encouraged stu-dents to' appreciate and cooperate in their homes, and to take advant-age of every educational opportu-nity offered them. Arrangements are now being made for speakers on the subject, "Crime and Its Prevention." Cadets Plan Inspections With their annual Cadet Hop a successful event of the past the cadets of the South ROTC batta-lion are preparing for another big event, their final inspection sche-duled for May 13.

This rat-ing, given by the inspecting offi-cer of the Ninth Corps area, vyil! be given on the basis of marching abilties, dress, discipline, attend-ance and knowledge of military science and tactics. Adverse weather conditions , de-layed the change from class rooms to the field for awhile, but at the advent of the first warm day the battalion started drilling. The ten-tative weekly drill schedule will be as follows: Mondays and Tuesdays, close or-der drill. Wednesdays and Thursdays, cal-isthenics. , Fridays, extended order. Also during these days, battalion parades have been scheduled at in-tervals of one week. Army Drafts Custodian Former custodian of the boys' gym department, George McKee, abandoned his work here at South high school and is now stationed at Fort Douglas, as a draftee.

C Girls Display Art of Drill West Associated Girls displayed the feminine ability of handling a gun in a drill, during a South high school assembly, March 20. They had been under the super ivision of Captain Gowan since De-cember, planning to present the drill on West Associated Girls' as-sembly. Marilyn Wood, president of WAG, was chosen to command the drill. The girls repeated their per-formance at South, and at their annual Girls' Dance. They have re-ceived invitations to display the feature at Fort Douglas, and the Hotel Utah. All of their practice work was carried on outside of. school time, and their costumes were designed and made by themselves. English Students Study Spring Fever Love In keeping with spring moods, the English 8 classes, taught by Mrs. Claire Jackson, have been studying love. After reading a series of iove stories, the students were required to write a composition on the subject. THE MAN I HOPE TO MARRY By Vivian Edm an From the moment I became con-scious of the fact that boys were not meant for torture and teasing, I have received the masculine sex sceptically, trying to identify the type of man I hope to marry. As a very small girl I first cherished Clark Gable, the movie idol, for a husband. When I had my tonsils removed, I was certain no man would do if he were not a doctor. At the awkward age of twelve, my school teacher held my affections securely, and represented the per-fect man. Then the shattering of a school girl crush on a curly-haire- d blond in the ninth grade forced me to realize that once again my fan-tastic dreams would never reach reality. Experiments such as these have made me realize that an inexperi-enced mind could not concoct the recipe for a perfect husband. The reading of "The Lost Phoe-be" not only directed my thoughts to the joy of having a devoted hus-band, but to the happiness of two people who possessed so much in common. As I read "Basquerie," the desirability for common inter-ests was erased from my mind, and my picture of love showed only emotional affections. Reading these tales of romance have only added to my confusion. Although I am approaching eighteen, my recipe for the man I hope to marry is yet a combination of mystifying ingredients. Won't some available gentleman assist me to clarify them? The following two articles were considered outstandingly clever as you will conclude after reading them. The first composition is the comparison of the leading men in two different stories, "Tony Kytes, Ach-Deceive- r" and "Miss Yough-al'-s 'Lais.' " TWO LOVERS By Shirley Hillam Automatically men fall into two categories which resemble each other only because both are bipeds. Tony Kytes, a shining example of type number one, exhibits all the qualities of a weak, soft-minde- d male, while Strickland portrays the ideal of American wo-men. How can these two differ to such an extent ? Why is Tony so rejected by the lady possessing an air for romance ? Simply it's this; Women want men with persever-ance, men who can convince them it isn't raining when they foel water falling. The girl, who walks in the clouds with happiness, has discovered a man she can treat rough and tell nothing, but who still comes back for more. Did I hear you say you aren't the type? Nonsense! 1 guarantee the two following rules to work perfectly. No. 1. Rid yourself of symp-toms similar to those possessed by Tony Kytes. For example: Never give two girls the same lisie of appeal and never let a woman get the upper hand of a situation. No. 2. Do all in your powe; to be-come as nearly a copy of Strick-land as possible, by striving to gain will and forcefulness. Faithful adherence to these rules will smooth love's tangles. The directions are before you men. What are you going to do about it? Spring Is Fine So Rise 'n Shine' They say it's spring, and that means you can't wear those drab old winter clothes much longer. But, you can fix them up to look like spring! The simple addition of a frilly pastel collar, or a pretty bunch of brightly colored artificial flowers, which may be made economically and cleverly from a few odd scraps of organdy, will do won-ders for that drab winter dress. Due to the priorities and the fact that prices of clothes are shooting up with leaps and bounds, it is important to everyone, boys and girls alike, to learn how to care for their clothes. Revive that old clothes-brus- h and get out the iron and press cloth, really "go to town!" a needle and thread always helps in sewing on a lost button or closing an open seam. Little tricks of learning the art, of the needle, iron and press cloth, are essential. Don't forget that old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine." Isn't it true ? Make those dusty, scuffed, and scarred shoes shine. Brush your suede ones so they'll look like new. Perhaps a little cleaner will help too. Use it sparingly, though for National Defense, you know. You don't need scads of new things for a "springy" appearance. All you need to do is brighten and freshen your limp wardrobe for a clean and well-groom- ed look from head to toe. Club Notes Students wondered Thursday morning, March 19, what that pun-gent odor was that filled the halls of the north wing of the building. It was just a little bit of phos-phorous pentoxide seeping out of the chemistry laboratory. The odorous oxygen compound was formed by the spontaneous com-bustion of phosphine, the product formed by the Chemistry club's first experiment. W. W. Gerrish has a program of experiments lined up that will keep the club busy trying to gain a knowledge of advanced chemistry. . Girls from East and West were entertained in the South high school gyms, March 18, by the Leaders' club. Basketball games, a program, and refreshments, plan-ned by Miss Ruth Rees, comprised the day's entertainment. Committee members for this af-fair were Elverna Pyper, Norma Sarbach, Mary Kingdon, Ruth Whaley and Mary Lashley. This annual event was directed by officials of the club, Ann West, president; Mary Kingdon, vice president; Connie Clark, secretary, and Mrs. Violet Walker, sponsor, edition of Leaders' handbook was presented to the members. Origin of April Fools Is Centuries Old For centuries April 1 has been a time when it is permissible, for a vast number of people, especially the younger sort, to play harmless tricks upon friends and neighbors. This custom, which is almost universal, is of uncertain origin, but probably had its beginning in France, about 1564, when New Year's day was carried back to January 1, instead of being cele-brated March 25, as it had been. Before the change was made, merry-makin- g would take place af-ter the octave of the feasts, April 1. This day was then reserved for mock ceremonial visits and pre-tended gifts, with a view of mak-ing fools of those whom had for-gotten the change of date. The cus-tom was then established and con-tinued and now its origin has been completely forgotten. Sleeveless errands (foolish er-rands) have always been a favorite among the tricks practiced on this day. An errand for the day is to send someone to the library foi the "Life History of Adam's Grandfather." An old typical Am-erican custom was to nail a pock-etboo- k to the board walk, or attach it to a string, so that it may be jerked away when a person stop-ped to pick it up. In English speaking countries one who is imposed on is called an april fool; in France, an april fish; in Scotland, a gowk. "Gowk," meaning fool, simpleton, or cuckoo. It takes a lot of pluck for some women to keep their eyebrows in shape. It's the fresh egg that gets slapped in the pan. I ' T DYER RESIGNS (Continued from page 1) Having successfully completed nearly 11 years at South, Miss Dyer plans to remain here for many years to come, so that she may "wise up" gullible Cubs who believe stories such as this .... April Fool! (Now you try to fool some-body.) "I'm Fatima, the Oriental danc-er." "Shake!" SOUTH DISPLAYS ART EXHIBIT A new vogue of art, depicting negro life, was exhibited in Anor Whipple's room and the office here at South during the week of March 22 to 28. The paintings were done by ten negro artists of Illinois. They were sent to south after being displayed at the Utah Art Center. The art was completed under of a W. P. A. project. The Language of the FLOWERS The tmost charming of all gifts is one of Flowers. They are the representatives of all times and the pledges of all feelings. The child gains his first idea of beauty from their blossoms; the lover gives them to his beloved; the bride wears them; we of-fer them to our beloved dead. All ages rejoice in their sweetness and beauty. THEIR LANGUAGE IS UNIVERSAL Let Our Flowers Speak For You MY FLOWER SHOP 541 E. 17th So.
