SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 19-1- Price Five Cents Draft Hounds 62 18-Year-O- ld Southerners Many May Leave South Next Month Sixty-tw- o Southerners, those who registered during the sign up Friday and others who had already signed with Uncle Sam, will spend a more restful Christmas holiday than most ex-pected, as several escaped the De-cember 21 induction date. It is not difficult to explain how high school students may be "caught in the draft," board mem-bers explain. Those who were el-igible to graduate last year third j ear men are subject to the draft now. Those who will be 18 next semes-ter will not soon be called, and those now 18, not third year men, may stay if proper appeal is made to their draft board. Included in the many teen-ager- s who had previously registered were senior class officers Stanley Kil-bour- ne and Russell Graehl. Neith-er will be called this month, but may leave January 17. A number of South men who reg-istered for courses this year have joined the armed forces, not wait-ing for the draft. They "slipped under the wire," joining before. the nation-wid- e ban on enlistments. V-- l and V-- 7 Navy officer pro-grams are open to University men. An unprecedented number of mid-year graduates will take advantage of these programs at the Univer-sity of Utah, according to a recent survey. Literary Contestants Base Stories on World of War Winners Are Schofield, Layton, Jarvis A tone of war in many contri-butions and an underlying motif of blood and guns in others feat-ured South Scribe's sixth annual Christmas literary contest, won by Velda Schofield, story; Bob Lay ton, poetry, and Elaine Jarvis, essay. Judges said that the contest this year drew wider response from the student body than any of the five preceding contests. They also not-ed a superior style of writing in the 19-1- literature hunt. Miss Schofield based her story against a background of wartime Norway. Judges rated her story high on many standpoints. Her winning original contribution, "Christmas Gift" is printed with the other winners on page 3. Second prize in the story division was awarded to Marvin McNeil, who utlized another war theme to write "Christmas Sojourn." Hon-orable mention stories were writ-ten by Bob Layton, Susan McCar-rol- l, and A. T. Challis, although their works were not published in this issue. Winner in the poetry division was Bob Layton, who topped a wide-fiel- d of contestants with his poem, "Remember," based on an appeal to stop and think of those in lands under oppression. Second prize went to Elaine Jar-vi- s' "Old Fashioned Christmas," while Phyllis Clayton and Kirk Brimley garnered honorable men-tions. In the assay division, Elaine Jarvis wrote "Chirstmas Spirit" to head the list of writers. Phyllis Clayton took second place, while Shirley Ancell won honorable men-tion, although her essay was not published. Judges in the contest were Mrs. Claire Jackson, Granville Oleson, and Miss Myrth Harvey of the faculty, and Beverly F.gbert, con-test editor; Milton Hollstein, and Julia Spitz from the Scribe staff. f ,kV - 1::; i ; r V l . 5 f r t ' ' ' ' i I r fe f i.

Picture Contest Deadline Sticks, Says Photo Staff Because of an "iron-jawed- " re-striction on engravings after Jan-uary 15, the Southerner staff an-nounced that no extension to the January 10 deadline in the student life contest would be granted. Egged on by prospects of having their own "brain child" printed, several students have already en-tered the contest, Itwrence John-son, editor, announced. Lawrence said all pictures are to be returned to owners within two weeks. Pictures, which must utilize a "student life" themo, are to occupy a full or large portion of a page in the '43 Southerner. The portrait of the winning contestant will be printed on the same page, it was announced. Rickety - Rackety - Kussl Seribe Sets January 4 For Opening of Yell Contest A yell and song "housecleaning" designed to supplement those Cub pep appeals created during South high school's twelve year his-tory, will begin January 1, when Scribe will open a contest to judge yells students can create to spur the blue and white boys to vic-tory. An early announcement will give those interested two full weeks of leisure to tax their minds for appropriate themes. Sports Editors Frank James and Frank Allan. V. F. Victor and C. Dewey Halo, dean of men, are fac-ulty judges, with also Miss Cath-arine Rogers and George II. Dur-ham. The contest will be grouped in three divisions, (1) original yells, (2) original songs words to any popular or inspiring tune, (3) revivials bring to light yells once popular which have now sunk into disuse. There is no limit to length of yells or songs, but contestants are expected to hold contributions to reasonable size. Winning yells will be added to the cheerleaders' repetoire, and will be published in the next issue of Scribe. Thev will also be print-ed in the 1943-4- 4 handbook, with credit lines, Dexter McGarry? chairman of the handbook commit-tee, announced. Several students at South this year have already created inspiri-ng- yells. To Frank James. Scribe co-edi- tor of sports, goes credit for creating "With an S," while cheer-leaders wrote "C-C-C-- Judges in the contest will be Dexter McGarry, Roy Marsh, rep-resenting the cheerleaders' choice, Scribe Editor Milton Hollstein and "Realize War Duties,''' Thomas Tells South "American youths have a ren-dezvous with destiny, and it is their duty to realize what we are fight-ing for," Bruce Thomas, nationally known commentator, author, and war correspondent declared Tues-day on a special assembly. Mr. Thomas, who accompanied the commandos on several of their raids, strongly suggested that more than half of America's youths will be killed or maimed in the pres-ent world conflict. He asked all students to stay in school as long as possible. Not upholding "war glory," he nevertheless urged Southerners to do everything possible to aid the war effort. His vivid pictures of commando selection, training, and tactics ac-companied his demand that "We should not kid ourselves into think-ing that we wpre not next on Hit-ler's list. All decent people will some day love the commandos and other allied soldiers keeping him away from our shores." War Industries, Transfers Take 12 South Teachers Twelve teachers at Soutn high school, many of whom joined the faculty here only recently, have left, or will leave South high soon for a variety of reasons as the war begins to edge in on the school. Latest of xhe Cub faculty to leave is Keith Hunsaker, who join-ed the United States Marines. He was a teacher in vocations, and had been marked as a probable athletic coach. Miss Frances Hethel now serves as a hostess at Camp Kearns. She was a sewing teacher and helped with the school play. I). F. Williams, one of the most popular of teachers at the school, left the yearbook sans a sponsor when he took a position at Hill field. He was an instructor in commercial courses. Eddie F. Parr will bid adieu to the yearbook business staff when he joins the army air corps. Lieutenant James R. MfNair is now in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. Other schools drew services of William Pradshaw, Miss Joan Mc-Callu- Miss Peth Harding, and Miss Helen Blood. Miss Ellen Eceles, office secre-tary, has another secretarial post, while Lyman Kidman left because of illness. If You Leave Home At 7, Walk!! Student tickets will be honored on Utah Light and Traction and Motor Coach lines only from 7:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m., the Public Ser-vice Commission of Utah ordered this week. Dr. Quilleu Outlines New Education Plan "Teachers should continually study the different phases of their course, thereby giving sjtudents a broader field of thought," Dr. James I. Quillen of Stanford uni-versity declared recently at a con-ference of teachers and principals at 440 East First South Street. Dr. Quillen, a well-know- n teach-er in social education, told the edu-cators that "you and I are the ones who will mold the men and women of tomorrow. It is our duty to formulate a plan by which the boys and girls will gain better knowl-edge through their school experi-ences." Submitting a method he calls a "resource unit," the doctor out-lined a course by which the teach-ers will continually be backed up with a reservoir of thought tv broaden and intensify subjects. "The resource unit offers a means by which teachers can mold students into better citizens and in-crease their definition of values and culture," he said. Store Work Lures Girls During Rush More than 500 South high school girls took positions in stores this week to help merchants with the labor problem and earn extra Christmas "mazuma," Miss Lu-cille Monay, dean of girls, announc-ed. Present "What a Life" "What a Life," by Clifford Gold-smith, a Henry Aldrich play util-izing new characters, was present-ed in the South high, school audi-torium November 24 and 25. Miss Genevieve II. Wilcox directed the presentation. |
