"EDITOR'S NOTE: This .is the second in a scries of articles to acquaint South students with those responsible for their education. Miss Mary Jane Hair, South's assistant lib-rarian and a former teacher of English, has one of the most colorful backgrounds of any teacher ever to enter the sacred portals of this institu-tion of secondary education. Miss Hair is a graduate of East high and the University of Utah. While a student at the "U", she gained the coveted award of membership in the Beehive, honorary association of the seven most outstanding senior students of the school. As the result of her activities in music and dramatic fields she was accepted as a member of Beta Delta Mu, national music sorority and Theta Alpha Phi, national dramatic fraternity. She was Associate Editor of the Utonian year book, during her freshman, sophomore and jun-ior years, and managing editor of the Chronicle, weekly campus paper which gained pacemaker award from the Intercollegiate Press. As a re-sult of all her activities she was made a mem-ber of Cwean, honorary activities group at the "U". Possibly the university did not fully appreciate Miss Hair, but such is not the case at South. Of her teaching we say, '"We like it, how about you?" We of Scribe could even use a few such gen-iuses. Posted "Rome" Benito Tell South High Of His Sufferings EDITOR'S NOTE: This letter arrived December 15, 1942, post-marked Rome, Italy. We rushed it to the Century Printing Press (paid adv.), and had them set up for 18 ems, int century. We believe that this affectionate note from Benito will cause the stir Gypsy Rose Lee's "G-Stri- ng Murders" caused. Before reading Benito's little Christmas greeting, we wish to let you in on a little secret. The Italian people have rumored that pompous Benito will soon be swapping his dictorial power for a "hospital bed." He, too, dreamed of a White Christmas when he'd march into Egypt like a mighty Napolean. So, he curled a wig he had stored in the attic and clothed his mighty physique in a Tarzan leopard skin. Tonight, he stands looking vapidly out of the window. His body is feverish. He ran so fast away from the African front that he lost his leopard skin. The poor soul cried like a baby when he got water splashed in his face during the Naples bombing. So, here is Benito's little Christmas card: Rome, Italy. Dear Americana Frans: I, Benito, have only good-a-ne- ss in heart for you. I wisha you were here we'd throw beeg party. It brok-- a my heart when you didn't tell me that-- a Venice was going ta be decorated for Chrus-ma- s. Willa you tell Charles Atlas I didn't get-- a last issue of "Health and Strength"? I made beeg speech other day, and people think me Mhat Ma-gan- di. My chest has-- a slipped, and I am seeek almost too much. Aldolf has been-- a mean to me : I don't get my Wheaties regularly. It is snowing beautiful bombs here in Italy. What is it not-- a snowing there, I hope not? My Japanese brother has taken my candy away, and slapped me. I am a baaad boy! Uncle Alctoif , only gives me a nickel when I'm good now. Aldolf, Hirohito, and me (modest Benito) may brighten up your cities for Chrus-ma- s. We will give you many gifts: Bombs, bayonets, bullets and all the trimmings. Do not think we giv-- a gifts jus' to get them back don't-- a mak-- a Chrus-ma- s spirit so strong that-- a way. With luff, Benito. Editorials Depression Versus Prosperity Now that prosperity is on, and the business executives, politicians, owners of chain stores, ect., need the youth, they should be careful not to commercialize on them, for the youth are the future rulers of the world. During the past few years, in order to sur-vive, our parents have been forced to work for a meager salary, with long hours and bad working conditions thrown in. We were becoming Euro-pean in our ways, in that owners of large stores and industries could employ workers for as low as $40 a month. Some of the high school students would even work in offices for "experience" no wage included. Today we are fighting dictators, and we'l1 always be fighting a dictator in one way or an-other, unless these big profiteers are eliminated. It is known that in this city several stores do not pay for overtime work. Women were worked over the maximum hours per week last year, and were afraid to report it to the labor board, because the "big boss" would make it difficult for them to obtain another job. When the high school and college students asked for work before war-time prosperity, they were sworn at, cussed and kicked out of the way. "Go away. We don't want you. Quit bothering us!" Is it any wonder that Hitler promoted Nazi-is- m by saying to the youth of Germany, "Come unto me. We need you!" Our freedom is being appeased. We are not the America we think we are, and won't be until we show these small-tim- e dictators we are doing a little "housecleanin'." Ye Gossip Column Looney Scribe Delves Into Student Life By Roberto Suggestion for an Academy Award: James Goddard's charac-terization of a snippy wife. Your attention, ,Miss Wilcox: Let's see ajittle more of Irene Sidwell, and a little less of Royal. Bet Bob Bjork would blush if you asked him if he likes Petty drawings. Verla Merrill listens to the operas every Saturday morn-ing and actually relishes them. Your attention, dancing enthusi-asts: Luana West can shimmy even better than "Sister Kate." That sophisticated junior that oes around with Beverly Taylor should be told that dragging one's feet is very unbecoming. South scribbler, Violet Ruga, deserves an apology, as soon as she writes an article on "Foods." Best bet of track season. Virgil Van Cott. While on the subject of track, don't you think South High underesti-mates that sport. Lester Kall-mann, why don't you take up poli-tics and give us a rest. Dorothy I ills, why do you blush ? Darlene Miller, why not give the other boys a chance? How many twins do you think there are in South high school'' While on the subject of twins, can you tell the Farnsworth twins apart ? Bet Vione Walker could tell which one was Gilbert and which one was Law-rence. To Maxine Jensen's little sister: Do you want your name in the paper? If so, read Web-ster's Encyclopedic Dictionary and the Evolution of Mankind. Your attention, Adolf Hitler: Did you know the book, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People," by Irving D. Tressler, was dedi-cated to you ? You are the only man who doesn't need to read it! The Portfolio Songs by Beverlec "I LIKE IT, HOW ABOUT VOU?"

(ffe)n fiihhv Hole Have you ever noticed the red in this world? Beverly Harvey is featuring a beautiful dark red shade of lipstick called "Conga." Jean Zumwalt wore an adorable pair of red knee-leng- th stock-ings the other day with her red corduroy jumper, and she looked plenty nifty. And then the favorite holiday of the year, Christmas, features red as its traditional color. We were talking to Keith Wright the other day the one with the curly eyelashes and the pleas-ing voice. He is going to give away eight Christ-mas presents this year. Upon inquiring to whom he was contemplating the presentation of such gifts, he said, "Oh, to my family and one to my girl friendS." How do you suppose he manages just one present for all of them? (Foo Johnson, please note) : Have you heard that this year's Southerner is going to have a red cover? Wouldn't that be fantastic news? They have snazzy red velvet hair bows at Grant's for 39 cents (paid daw). While speaking of stores, we'll mention that Bernadine Davis has worked up to the position of floorwalker at Kress'. Was there ever anything that made a girl look, more appealing than to show a rosy red blush on white skin? Now that cold weather is here, have you noticed the red noses coming to school? Did you know that in the December 7 blackout that the red beacon light on the hill by the zoo didn't o off? Do you know why a fire engine is red? Well, it's a long story, and besides they're making them in a variety of colors. And did a country ever have better allies than the English, the Chinese and the Reds? Has any man been imi-tated more than Red Skelton? Yes red's a darn good color. Utahns 'Cold Shoulder' Army, Navy Soldiers do not like Utah. They are receiv-ing the cold shoulder from religious radicals and social snobs who seem to forget that these boys are the "cream of the crop." Different church organizations tend to dissuade the girls in becom-ing USO hostesses, even though they are under the strict supervision of chaperons. We can save our Chamber of Commerce a few pennies by advertising Utah with a smile, or, '"Come on, buddy, this meal's on me." You may be pessimistic on a Saturday night when you see a soldier with that "happy glow," but put yourself in his shoes. He's many miles from home lonely and disillusioned because the people he's fighting for treat him like dirt.
