The Board is composed of Dex-ter McGarry, student body presi-dent, Buddy Morrison, Lou Dods, Don Lefavor, Kirk Brimley, Neal Adams, Don Brewer, Don Giacomo, Beulah Latimer, Jerry Dalebout, Lorna Call, Dick Weggeland, Doug-las Wagstaff, Lyle Roller, and Pat Aiding President Dexter Mc- Garry in the administration will be Buddy Morrison, vice president; Lou Dods, secretary; and Kirk Brimley, historian. The senior class named Neal Adams, an active Cub in sports, president; Don Brewer, another "A" football star and all around fellow, was elected vice president. Don Giacomo, the "small but mighty" man of South, won in the race for secretary. Elected president of the junior class was Douglas Wagstaff, who hails from Irving high full of fun and ideas. Lyle Koller "B" team backman, was elected vice presi-dent. Pat Reiser, a very active Cubette, was named secretary. "The South high school student administration .will be forced to meet greater problems this com-ing year that has ever been nec-essary in the past and I am sure that with the cooperation of their class officers we can make this year one of the most successful in South's history," said President McGarry. Buddy Morrison heartily agreed with Dexter and added that he will do all in his power to give South a good Vice Prexy. Lou Dods and Kirk Brimley reported that plans were already underway which should make this year one of the most successful because of the variety of student activities. Winning highest honor as pres-ident of SAM in the final elec-tions Wednesday is Jerry Dale-bou- t, "A" team center.. Morris Waters, also on the "A" team, is vice president, and secretary is Dick Lund. Committee members are Morris Kjar and Kent Peter-son. The five SAM officers were el-ected after nomination and pri-mary elections were held in each advisory period. After the votes were counted, the five highest were chosen to run in the finals. All of the officers are well suited for their positions, Mr. Hale, dean of boys, said, and "I'm sure a better -- decision could not have been made." In an assembly Monday, conduct-ed by the dean, Miss Monay, the girls of South nominated candi-dates. Tuesday morning the four girls receiving the highest of votes became SHAG officers for this year. Redheaded energetic, President Beulah Latimer was in the school play last year, and was also a SHAG . representative. Beverly Barber backs up with the office of first vice president. The office of second vice president is filled by Pat Zwick and secretary is Do-lores Dunford. To these officers the Scribe extends congratulations and good luck.

Bond Drive Total Reaches $14,181.80 in 14 Days South's bond drive was a success this year, even though the goal of twenty thousand dollars was not reached. The students were commended very highly by many for their-effort- s and patriotism said Miss Dyer, assistant principal. This year's drive was planned and carried out by a committee of the student body consisting of Julian Maack, Ralph Pyper, Helen Tate, Donna Northrop, Dorothy Buxton, Dick Lund, Gordon How-ard, with Delbert Atwood as chair-man. Besides the daily sales of bonds and stamps, the committee con-ducted a football game during the sixth period and after school on October 22, where the admittance was "as many war stamps as you can buy." As a result, $110.00 was added to the amount that went to buy planes and tanks for Uncle Sam's fighting men. Auction Assembly Held An assembly was conducted on October 28, with Delbert Atwood as master of ceremonies, and Dex-ter McGarry as auctioneer, assist-ed by Farrel Fairbanks, Barbara Ehlers, and Kirk Brimley. Using the patriotic theme of "Navy Day," some sailors, alumni of South, were asked to come and say a few words to the students. They were: Dick Cederholm, Louis Leake, Clain Griffin, and Bill Lowder. Roland Krebs told the student body of many of his ex-periences at the attack of Pearl Harbor, and in the South Pacific. Jay H. Cotterell, an army man, was present and spoke to the stu-dents. He, also, is an, alumnus or South. Bobbie Pins, Gum Sold In the second half of the two-ho- ur assembly, talent was auction-ed for the purchase of war bonds. Bobbie pins and gum were also auctioned for $125.00, while a gal-lon of gas was sold for $250.00. A dozen eggs, contributed by Mr. Ryan, was purchased for $150.00, and a student bought one package of gum for $200.00. A container with five gallons of gas, that was donated during the auction by a student, sold for $75.00. A tie was auctioned which was donated by Mr. Woolf, and a pair of clips do-nated by Miss Dyer. The total of money raised at the auction was $8,507.20. Which makes the total for the entire drive, $14,181.80, The buying of bonds and stamps will not stop with this particular drive. "The committee is looking forward to an active year of sell-ing war bonds and stamps," Del-bert Atwood, chairman, said. Army, Navy Tests Given at South Nov. 9 by Mr. Hale Tests which will qualify boys for Army specialized training (A-1- 2) or intensive Navy training (V-1-2) will be given by Mr. Hale November 9 if enough boys have applied. .

On these forms were listed the requirements, some of which were for the Army (A-1- 2) : date of birth must be between March 2, 1924, and March 1, 1927, inclusive. If you are in this age group, the boy may apply to either the Army or the Navy, but he may not apply to both. Students who have attained their 20th but not their 22nd birthday by March 1, 1944, are eligile for the Army alone. The applicant must "be morally and physically qualified."

Juvenile Delinquency Major Problem In Community "Juvenile delinquency in this city has increased 76 per cent since 1940," stated Sgt. Ray Cahoon of the Crime Prevention Bureau. "I am of the firm con-viction that this is due to lack of proper guidance in the home, mothers who are workings When asked what he thought would be one factor which would help in preventing so much juvenile delinquency, more strict enforcement of the curfew law which was recently passed by the city commission was the first answer he volunteered. "Since we have tried more fully to enforce this law. delin-quency has declined approxi-mately 19 per cent. We feel sure that with the cooperation of the home, school, and church that tis percentage will increase to a higher level." When asked if greater en-forcement of this law would be too costly to icy and enforce, Sgt. Cahoon came back with the answer: "The cost of enforcing it is insignificant when human lives and futures are at stake. Even the future of America is involved if the coming genera-tion is morally and physically unfit to run our government properly." In reply to questions asked ' concerning the effect on the generation to come, Sgt. Cahoon answered that he was sure that it would have a decided influence on the generation to come and that it will take almost another generation before its effects will be removed. "When contacted and told where their children were, par-ents were shocked and found it hard to believe," he also added. "With proper guidance in the home, by having older friends influence them to do the right thing, the police department is of the conviction that delinquen-cy could be stopped at its foun -- dation in these ways.

Where the boys were for. the questions, the girls interviewed were against it. Without exception, however, the ones who answered no on the first question said that they would be in favor of volun-tary military training rather than compulsory. Typical of comments fellows and girls who answered no were, "It wouldn't be democra-tic to force military training in peace time, and some fellows al-ready have so many years of school before they finish that it wouldn't be fair to give them more." Those who answered yes said, "We should be prepared for an-other war should it come." "It would provide jobs for men after the war." |
