Show ' ' ' v ( Friday, December 17, 1943 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Page 5 Students Make Resolutions; Teachers Ask For Gifts Like all good people the world around, Southerners are going to try to turn over a new leaf. If they work hard enough at it, they may get into February before giving up their "betterment methods." A few of the student body have al-ready formed their promises for the new year. Stan Fivas says that next year he will never be late to school. (Oh?) Darlene Hall has resolved to try to be less stupid in Miss Roger's sixth period English class. (Is she kidding?) Paul Orton has resolved that no little junior high school secretary will break his heart again. Irvingites didn't appreciate him, says Don Glaittli, so he has prom-ised to give the Southern belles a chance. (Generous, isn't he?) Margene Poulson promises to quit flirting with that "wonderful physiology teacher." (She isn't alone in that.) Bill Grant has vowed to be nicer to the .girl next door, just to ce-ment friendly relationships, of course. Don't rush, girls, but Ed Vetter says he'll give up his collection of Frank Sinatra's photographs. Bill Livingston promises that he will flash that purty, purty smile and make all the girls' hearts beat faster. (Sigh.) No one really believes that kids will keep their vows, but everyone please give them moral support. The teachers are also concious of the holidays, sometimes it seems even more so than the students. They want to ask Santa for pres-ents, but think they're too old to sit on his lap and whisper in his ear, so Scribe decided to help them out. Here, dear Santa, are their requests. Miss Rogers is dreaming of a captain tied up in blue ribbons. Jeepers, what a gift! A trip through Latin America by automobile is one of the most fervent desires of Mr. Cottrell. He would like to journey to Argen-tina to visit the editor of La Prensa. He hopes "Santa Claus will visit all the nice little boys and girls of South." According to Miss Kaplan, phy-- siology teacher, the most wonder-ful gift Santa can bring is "a class with people who are tranquil and peaceful, instead of dynamic, vo-ciferous, jittering bodies of pro-toplasm." Student Directory Issued - Much To Cubs' Delight Announcement by Mrs. Mabel Welch of the publication of the student directory, containing the names, addresses and telephone numbers of South's student body, brought many reactions from Southerners. Those who have been trying to discover that "certain some-one's" telephone number receiv-ed the news with a broad smile as they rushed to the bookstore. Some Southerners, however, who have not followed school rules as closely as possible, recalling the fact tJiat the publication meant that advisors, could telephone par-ents with little inconvenience, at the slightest suspicion of "wrong-doing,"' appeared rather trapped. . The small book was as popular last year as "Gone With the Wind" a regular best-selle- r. It has a' large circulation, not only at South, but at all the city schools. It , .vis usually issued around Thanksgiving, but due to the delay' in opening school, Christmas was the soonest it could be put Out. The school wishes to express its. heart-fe- lt thanks to Mrs. Welch, and the book-stor- e staff, who, .through much effort, have ma4e ; possible, the publication of the Directory. ; School Celebrates Season With Parties and Dance South is getting right in the spirit for the coming holidays by sponsoring various activities. Ev-eryone is happy at the thought of parties and the regular dance. Tonight Southerners and their partners will "swing out" to the music of LeRoy Palmer and his band. The annual Christmas Dance will cater to anyone with an activity card or twenty-fiv- e cents. Dancing starts at 8:30 and continues to 11:30. A big-turno- ut is expected, for this is the last dance of 1943. The SHAG Council froliced at the association's Christmas party last Friday, December 10. Doreen Cutler, vocal solos; Beverly Myers, a reading, and Margaret Lake, on the piono, contributed to t the program. Gingerbread Santa's were given as favors. President Beulah Latimer had charge of the affair. The Social Arts Club held its annual Christmas party in the music room on December 8 A lecturer, from a local department store, spoke to the girls about their clothes, and how to wear them. The holiday atmosphere en-tered with the distribution of stockings filled with cookies and candy. Leaders' Club had a White Ele-phant party on December 15. Cookies were served and games were played. The members ;; ex-changed their "white elepharites" and had a good laugh at their gifts. 14k Mighty Mistletoe Makes Men, Maidens Merry By LaRue Forsberg Well, boys, the time has come! Mistletoe, the well-know- n "smooch weed" is darkening the doorways again. - For those of you who have never used mistletoe p6or saps here is one of the most successful tech-niques. The big bad wolf spots his prey, a smooth looking-- dear. In his paw he carries a gigantic piece of the "parasite with a punch." With a leap, a bound, and a blood-curdlin- g howl he pounces, places the mistle-toe over her head and sm-ack-- o! Doesn't it sound exciting? To get the most amusement from this particular game, your victim must be caught unaware. If your pre-ferred victim is a fast runner, per-haps the easiest way to catch her would be to place a piece of this "swoon sprig"' in a doorway through which she is sure to pass. Other popular places for "IT" are: hanging from light fixtures, on front porches, and on the top of the inside of your car. Although Webster wouldn't agree, Christmas definitely means MISTLETOE to the South high iCubs. It is a popular seasonal sport met with - the enthusiasm such as meets football or basket-ball. Just a little sprig Of this master weed . For a mighty kiss Is all you need. Now is the time So why delay? It's up to you You know the way! Well, that should be about enough of that, so here's a helpful thought for the "way": Say it with flowers, preferably mistletoe! i South J 1 Servicemen By Phyllis Clayton This.. Christmas., everyone., at South, and the world over, offers a prayer that the boys on Uhe fighting fronts, and in camps here, may be home next year at this time. This is the fourth in a series of articles dedicated to the boys fighting that we may have Christ-mas. December 6, Darwin Keid, one of last year's graduates, returned to South. He is now a private sta-tioned at the Arkansas State Col-lege at Jonesboro, Arkansas. The Army Specialized Training units are giving Darwin instruction in engineering. As a third year stud-ent, Darwin made a name for him-self in ROTO last year. He held the rank of a first lieutenant, and worked in the sergeant's office. Robert Christensen, also of the class of '43, is among the many boys from South in the armed forces. Bob is now stationed at a camp in Oregon, but is waiting for ; transfer orders to attend en-gineering school. At South, Bob was very active in football and basketball. Another alumnus recently visit-ed South. He was Second Lieuten ant Dale Bullough, who graduat-ed in 1941. He is a bombardier-navigat-or in the Army Air Corps. The Lt. received his wings June, 1943, when he graduated from the San Angelo training base in Tex-as. After additional training in that state, Lt. Bullough was here on furlough, and then reported to the Salt Lake Air Base to resume his duties. At South, he was news ed-itor of the Scribe. MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY NEW YEAR!
