W ' 9 1 --vM r f'f !P I' Dexter McGarry will be the second president of South to leave before the school term ends when he says goodbye to the school next Wednesday, and Don Lefavor takes over. Unless some unexpected miracle hap-pens, that will be his last day as student of South. He plans to for the Pan-Americ- an Airways He will probably stay there un-til after the war when he hopes , to come back to attend the Uni-ersi- ty of Utah. Dexter has three brothers in the armed forces, one a prisoner of war in Japan. Last year, when Dee Lowder left the school to enter the V-1-2 specialized Naval training pro-gram, ho one knew who the pres-ident was. and the matter drifted along until the end of the year. This year the Board of Control made a study of the constitution, and came to the conclusion that the second vice president should become president. The constitution says: "Sec. 4. The, president of the South High Student Association is to be a member of the senior class. "Sec. 5. The vice president is to be a member of the junior class. "Sec. 6. The second vice presi-dent is to be a member of the senior class. "The second vice president shall perform the duties of the presi-dent when for any reason the vice president .shall not be able to so function." Lou Dods explained "The vice president is unable to so function when the president leaves because the president must be a senior, The Board of Control will add a clause to Article V, Section C, saying the "If a vacancy occurs in the office of president, the second vice president shall suc-ceed him." Don Lefavor said, "I only hope I can uphold the standards set by Dexter in office of president."' The Scribe would like to extend its congratulations to Dexter on the excellent job he has done as president. The staff is sure that the whole student body will join in the praise. , Courtesy Desert-- t Nt'WH - Dextaf McGarry, who is so6n to leave South to work with Pan-Americ- an Airways in San Francisco, bids farewell to Barbara Ehlers and Don Lefavor. Don will fill the student body pres-denc- y vacated by Dexter. , McCarrel, Dods, Stauffer Cop Top Honors In Animal Christmas Literature Contest Susan McCarrel's short story, j "A White ; Christmas," was judged the prize-winnin- g entry in the story division of the Scribe's seventh , annual Christ-mas literature contest.

Yuletide Assembly Features Candle-Lightin- g Ceremony In spite of war-tim- e restrictions students witnessed today an assembly under the direction of the assembly committee. The Christmas program utilized song, dance, and tableaux to express a three-pa- rt themereligious, festival and war. Candle Ceremony The program opened with the annual candle service in which the A' cappella Choir and girls' glee entered a cathedral holding light-ed candles. This was followed by a dance of the toys, which repre-sented Christmas at home. The representation of Christmas through the world was made by dances and pantomine. Several talks were given on the subject of Christmas customs. This was under the direction of Miss Harvey. Following this a "White Christmas Tableaux" was presented which depicted a soldier and his sweetheart. The theme, "Christmas in War Time" was presented in dramatic episodes depicting scenes in Russia and Poland. This was un-der the direction of Mrs. Wilcox. Nativity Scene is Climax The climax of the assembly was a Nativity tableaux in which the nations of the earth were shown at the feet of Christ. The program was under the dir-ection of the assembly committee which includes Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Hickman, and students represent-ing Dolores Dunford. The dances were under the direction of Miss Olson, and the gym teachers, Miss Sleater, Mrs. Walker, and Miss Walker. The reader was Miss Harvey. Due to war-tim- e restrictions the Board of Education requested that no Christmas decorations be used this year. The advisory parties which have been permitted other years will be eliminated because they interrupt the regular class work The all im-portant issue now is to take school work seriously and get all the knowledge possible. No Need for "Sub for Santa" The Tribune and other agents feel that they can adequately "sub for Santa" and there is no need for South's help this year. Stamp Campaign Buys 12 Jeeps South hi,gh this year decided to make their war bond 'campaign a triple threat jeep campaign and, from October 15 to December 9, South purchased more than enough war bonds and stamps to buy: three flying jeeps or grasshoppers, three amphibian jeeps or quacks, and six regular jeeps. All of this totaled $22,775.95. The amount sold on Pearl Harbor day was $2,850.40. South's students were urged to bring all the money they could on this day. An assembly was held on Tuesday, December 7. Before the audience were students who had actually witnessed the bomb-ing of Pearl Harbor, who have had action in this war and who know this war will not be won unless everyone is willing to do his share. Several alumni also took part on the program. These people believe that war bonds are the safest investment they know of. So, in the words of a Navy man, "The more bonds we buy, the shorter the war will be." Team Debates in Classes Miss Harvey's sixth period de-bate elass has visited several classes in the school, debating current problems of the day. They have discussed such subjects as a universal language, the curfew law as recently passed by city authorities, and a fourth term Tor President Roosevelt. The debat-ers include: Dorris Hatch, Mari-lyn Owen, Julian Maack, and Bob Henegar. 250 Tired Girls Work for Stores Tired feet and backs are only two of the many troubles which confront South high girls who are working this year during tlu Christmas rush. Aiding the stores during this busy season are approximately 250 girls who have been excused from their studies at their own risk for ten days. Mr. Barnett said these .girls will not, of course, receive the same marks as those who have been attending regularly. Working all day or part time, South girls are taking advantage of the opportunity to earn money for Christmas. Girls have been called every year to help the store managers take care of all the excess buying during Christmas holiday.
