Show November 7, 1941 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE PageTwo What Young America Thinks "What Americanism Means To Me," is the topic chosen for this month's discussion, with Shirley Penney and Sherman Thorpe as our guest writers. ' " 'I Am An American!' How proud I am to be able to say those few simple but meaningful words. I often wonder what my life would amount to if I were not an American. Would freedom and democracy be engraced in my life? To me, Americanism means my life. What kind of a life it turns out to be is what my own heart and ambition makes pi A" " ' .'(.. it. How thankful I am to be able to worship uoa in my own way, and when I am older, I will be able to vote for the leaders in government. These things are important, and if this freedom were not mine, life would be empty and useless. How many of us appreciate our wonderful land, and how many of us realize how blessed we really are? Ask yourself the question, 'What if I were rot an American?', and maybe the next time you see yoar beautiful flag bravely waving over your home ana country, you will feel just a little prouder to know that you are an American!"

Exchange Editor Ray Beddo Circulation Manager - Ruth Larsen Faculty Advisor Mr. V. F. Victor 1 h Dear Cubby: Hunting season has certainly got a good start here at South. The expert marksman of them all is that sly little fellow with the bow and arrow named Cupid. He uses a new kind of ammuni-tion called heart trouble. Don Davis is one of the happy sufferers. At the last dance he was enjoying himself im-mensely with one of the Nichols twins. Bud is a "Newman" since he figured out which one he went with. Here's a cute tie-u- p. A boy from East likes yon "Bonnie" lassie over West way, but she has her mind on a newly appointed Lt. Colonel here at South. To complete matters, this southern gentleman seems to find an interest in some southern gal. The "Call-is-te- r" figure out how the latter feels. It is just too "Harrow" (ing) for words. These infatuations! Betty Bai and Darwin Reid can always be seen holding hands after sec-ond period on the third floor. Then there's cute Patty Searle who can't make up her mind be-tween Dee and Paul. Why don't you make a "Lowder" noise, Dee? Talking of cute couples, how about Rulon and Ruby. Ruby is playing an interested part at last, which has everyone's hearty approval. It has been rumored that Jean McClelland and Ray Childs are about to steady it again. That will make it nice for us, because then we can keep track of them. "Joye" has come into the life of a certain southern miss. We doubt whether she met him in "May," but she has a beautiful diamond ring on the "third finger, left hand." Among those steadies we find Prexy, Stan Smith, and his sweet little gal, Leola Yates; "Stout" hearted Merle whose true love has just been drafted; Corinne Tipton with Freshy, Bili Bagley, formerly of East. We hear that Bob Lambourne and Mary Matthews recently made a record by going steady for one day. (Don't tell anybody, but we bet Bob would like to make it permanent.) Well, I have to be running along now, so tally-h- o, my friend. Be seein' ya! Nosey Cub. P. S. In case you are wondering what hap-pened to my southern accent, ask Miss McCal-lu- m. 4 Meet the People JOY WEIST Don't look now, but the cutest little gal to walk in the South gate for ages is the former secretary of Lincoln. She wears the most charming clothes and the personality inside isn't so different. Easy to get ac-quainted with and grand to know. HUGH BRONSON Junior with gorgeous red hair and a most friendly smile. Boyd's little bro-ther. Looks fascinating in a rook-ie suit. He can outwit almost any-one, at least he tries hard enough. Oh, to be a Junior again with Huey loose. MARIE WESTOVER Tiny bundle of joy called "Westy" by her friends. Here, there, and everywhere, willing to help any one. A senior, but her first year at South. Never seen unless she is wearing a hair ribbon. Sweet as they come, so don't let her go. FRANK MICHELS Don't miss getting acquainted with this super-speci- al person. Drives a nice car, he's nice, too. Second year stu-dent who is an ace drummer and dancer. Concentrates on geometry and redheads. His loose-lea- f note-book cover is a masterpiece. SHERMAN WRIGHT Seldom found combination of brawn and brains. Such a physique. Just like Superman, and a nice techni-que, too. Likes to tease the girls, especially blondes. Ardent lover of sports and shorthand mostly shorthand, of course. Love, or Leave America One minute before eleven o'clock on the morn-ing of November 11, 1918, the Armistice between the Allies and Germany was signed. In Europe birds sang and were not choked by the powder from a roaring gun ; masses of grey clouds of powder drifted skyward and disappear-ed into the infinite blue; men looked into each others eyes and they saw boyhood friends who were old men. This was the end of the World War ; this was the war which would end all wars. In America, citizens were wild. Tears of joy streamed from the eyes of mothers who anticip-ated the homecomings of their sons ; some of the tears were shed by mothers who knew they would never see their boys again on this earth. Sweet- -' hearts, wives, sisters, brothers, fathers, thronged the streets of American cities and thanked God for the Armistice which brought their loved ones home. I suppose we must have wars. There is an ever increasing tendency to settle world disputes with force. This has been shown in the past, is prevalent in the present, and is inevitable for the future. , Perhaps it would be wise to resign ourselves to this fact and be prepared to meet future world conditions. . What is applicable to games of sport also may apply to world problems; a strong offense is a good defense. Some time, perhaps in the very near future, we Americans will be called upon by our Presi-dent to fight for those principles which have been preserved by the Americans since the May-flower came in sight of American soil. I am not advocating that we fight other na-tions' wars, but I do firmly believe that we should fight for the privileges of being an Amer-ican. A thought which should be forever pres-ent in the minds of real Americans is, "Love America, or leave America." IT'S ON THE SQUARE ACROSS DOWN 1. Quarterback on "C" 1. You see a lot of $ team.

Informal get-to-geth- and planned club excursions will demand smart togs for the fortunate invited participants. Girls, now is the time to start planning for a champion rating in skiing, toboganning, or skating. The clever co-e- d will scheme so that she can interchange at least some parts of her costume. For example, a new scarlet twill ski suit could be matched with a plaid skirt and parka for skating. Just the thing for the extra chilly days is a natural beige windbreak worn over a plaid zipper jacket, underneath which some snappy scarlet flannels with long sleeves and legs just like grand-papp- y wears can be worn. Warm? Try it and see! Sonja .Henie, America's sweetheart of the ice, introduced some new Travlean touches in the line of bright wool embroidery and silver buttons. If you are just aching to be dressed spectacularly beautiful, just try wearing a snow-whi- te skating outfit trimmed in bright red. Man, how you will slay them. . Any host or hostess who throws a climaxing party at their ski lodge or home will be delighted if their guests change into a nice warm slack suit, for their chili and hot chocolate. Sporty flannels, soft tweeds or gay gabardines tailor into trim outfits. When her performance doesn't quite measure up to her associates, expectations, any girl can bolster her confidence with her intriguing outfits, thus, finding life's brighter side on the mountain side and at the skating rink. 'To Be, Or Not To Be9 So you don't like to study? Well, why do you do it? Come on and enjoy life while you are young. After school, take in a good show up town, after which you can test your skill in a. game or two of bowling. Of course, if you don't happen to have any money, you can still take life easy at home by listening to the radio and talking to your best girl on the phone. At nine-thir- ty you can jump into bed, thus obtaining your ten hours of sleep, and when Mom calls you at 7:30 in the morning, you are raring to go. Of course, as you probably know, all pleasant things come to an end. Second period proves to be the end of a beautiful dream. "Now, students, we will have a little test on this month's physiology lessons," quietly re-marks the teacher. Ho! Ho! Isn't life grand now? No doubt you flunk. In case you don t, you will, my friend, you will! In two or three years you might graduate. Then you can show this world just how much you can do. It's about then that you decide you should have gone home after school to study in-stead of enjoying yourself. Instead of obtaining a responsible position as a stenographer or a lawyer, vou find yourself standing behind a counter in the five-and-ten-ce- nt store, waiting, on stupid customers. Just what kind of a person are you? Are you going to take life easy now. making it hard for you later, or are you going to be held up in tne minds of all who know you as one who tries? You are the only one who can decide. WE HAVE THE r"! 7?T3' SWEATEE I LSrL YOU WANT! mfMwfi Slipon or coat style, but-- OdQC f$ ton or zipper front.
