Dance --Lovers Enjoy Shaw Exhibition Out of the forty-tw- o persons from South high school who went to Provo and witnessed a two and a half hour performance by --.loyd Shaw's dancers in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, everyone came back entirely enthusiastic and fully satisfied. I Miss Walker said: "I just wish that every student in South could have seen the way those dancers put it over. They did sev-eral types of dancing, some of which were Square Dancing, Folk Dancing, Polkas, and many others. Not only were the girls thrilled over it, but also the boys." The group of dancers consisted of sixteen couples, all the ages of 15, 16 and 17. They know over 300 different kinds of combinations taught to them by their principal and dance instructor, Lloyd Shaw, of the Cheyenne high school in a small town in Colorado. All of them like this kind of dancing and enjoy doing it. . "I've never enjoyed anything more in all my life. It just gets in your blood," was the remark of Margaret Brubaker after she had seen the performance. "Gee, this kind of dancing is great. Going to a dance and danc-ing with one person is mnotonous, but this way is different," expres-sed Joe Lewis. Stanley Jones remarked, I ve never had more fun in my life." Howard Eckersley asked Miss Walker, "When are we going to start learning that kind of danc-ing?" With the Armistic Day Parade only a few days off, South high school's R. 0. T. C. Battalion is working feverishly to perfect itself for this important occasion. All three city high school R.O.T.C. bat-talions are going to participate, but South hopes to excel. While the weather conditions are keeping the cadets temporarily in-doors, they- - are being taught some of the most important fundamental principles of army training by their battalion commander, Lt. Colonel Keith Best. Many questions which puzzle all cadets at some time or other are being . answered. The former members of. the 40-4- 1 Junior Drill Team, considered by many the best in the city, are planning to hold a party with the newly chosen 41-4- 2 Junior Drill Team as guests. A date hasn't been set as yet, but from all advance indications the party should be a fine success and all eligible are urged to attend. With the Junior and Senior Drill Teams already chosen and the of-ficers' Saber Team in the process of selection, it is certain that South will be well represented in this department at the military prom, this spring. HONOR ROLL Selected because of superior ability and dress, Private Ernie Hickson and Sgt. Bob Nicastro were chosen Cadet and officers of the week re-spectively last Thursday, Oct. 30. Club Notes BOOSTERS The Boosters club for the purpose of furnishing school pep, spirit, and formations at the games, put on an assembly Friday, October 31, in which they introduced a new arrangement of "The South High Battle Song."

Is it the man who is born of native sod, Whose father came here with axe and rod? Who is an American? Is he the immigrant who seeks a free land, Where he may find no meek-bou- nd man? Who is an American? Can it be the statesman filled with oratory. Who lifts his voice and hand, to fight for glory? Who is an American? Can it be the farmer, plow in hand, Whose heart and soul lives in land? Who is an American? He is every man, with, or without a heritage extol-H- e lives in every land, with boundary lines untold. Who is an American? He lives for the virtue he learns and knows. He stalks the earth, conquering his woes. Who is an American? He struggles and thrives, self-- seeking for personal regard. He unites in harmony, striving for the people's accord. Sympathetically his voice calls out undaunted to all those oppressed; Whether they be jew, gentile, unwanted, Czech or Finn aggressed; 'And other men shall have what I have. And other men shall be what I am free.' By Joye May. BY HOOK OR CROOK, I'LL READ THIS BOOK.' Among the great books of the year is "Oliver Wiswell," by Ken-neth Roberts, author of "North-west Passage." This book has brought about a great deal of opposition, because it has been written about the Am-erican Revolutionary War express, ing the Tories' point of view. Because of this present world conflict, it is best that all opinions and ideas are favoring our demo-cracy, and Robert's book has been received coldly because he has written it in a difficult time. If it had been written a decade ago, its popularity would have been great, and he would have received praise on this book for his liberal thinking. Alumni Parade One of the outstanding students of the class of "40" was Re Nee Walker, president of Social Arts. After graduating she worked for some time and is now attending the L.D.S. Business College after which she hopes to become a pri-vate secretary. Margaret Kinney, University of Utah student and graduate of South, is taking a straight college law course.
