Show . Friday, December 18, 1942 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Page Five Year of War Sees South Extra-Activ- e By Susan 31cCarroll The United States has been at war for one year and ten days. This war is a total war. Every-one must make sacrifices, from the baby losing his rubber teeth-ing ring to the soldier losing his life. During these 375 days, South high has adapted itself to an all-o- ut program. Perhaps the school's greatest achievement is in the . field of War Stamps and Bonds. On December 7th. first anniver-sary of that "Great day that will live in infamy," South bought $1,070.25 worth of stamps, a real record. The students have collected 300 pounds of tin cans and 50 pounds of keys. Entertaining soldiers has been delved into by a group of Southern-ers. Home rooms contributed mon-ey to decorate and get equipment for the boys at Dugway Proving Grounds. For a while they folded paper bags for the city hospitals. South high ha; realized that their part in the war is a big one, and they're doing it. For the recent figures of how "South serves the nation," con-sult the accompanying chart. Xmas Club Dates, Parties Fill Yultide Calendar Parties and dances seem to be the popular way for South's clubs to celebrate Christmas. Dancing with the men of their choice, to the sweet music of a record player, Social Arts members attended their party in the girls gym Friday. Refreshments of punch and cakes were served at individual tables decorated with red table cloths and candles. Party favors were the Social Arts handbooks, and invitations were small decorated Christmas boxes. Chairman of the committee was Violet Ruga and Gwendolyn Parr. Others on the committee were Inez Parson, Dorthella Pettit, Elaine Rapp, Gloria Robbins, Marian Rodberg, Mary Sandberg, Thea Schindler, Dorothy Shel-to- n, Irene Sidwell, Beth Smith, Norma Soren-so- n and Julie Spitz. The hand book was edited by Norma Sorenson. She was assisted by Barbara Bell and Marilyn Morrison. Small brown and tan basketballs were the favors at Booster's Christmas Party. The bas-ketball motif was carried out in the decorations. The girls played games and enlisted in Sergeant Redmonds South High Girls Drill Team. Boosters sponsor this team, but membership 4 is open to all girls. Beth Chase was in charge of refreshments, and Gwen Adams was in charge of decorations. Others on the committee were: Margene Nuttal, Vangie Chaffas and Jean Nor-ber- g. The party was held Wednesday, December 9. The Skating club's Christmas party will be held on Dec. 26. Games and refreshments will form the program. Chairman in charge of the frolic is Janet Sherrill. Family Ties Link South Cubs, Cubetes "A male having the same par-ents as another or a female" is the definition of a brother as found in the dictionary. Around South there are quite a few such animals with either fe-male or male sibilings. While pussy footing around the halls of this alleged temple of learning, two of South's big .husky, all-ci- ty "A" football heroes were being shadowed by their kid sis-ters Loretta Child and Betsy Empey. Top honors go to the three Primleys Inez, Dale and Jay. It is an interesting fact to know that all the Urimleys, all six of them, are related to each other. From San Francisco, Jean and Frank Zumwalt migrated. Jean is a senior and Frank is a junior. Two charming third-yea- r stu-dents, Loah and Leah Osborne, are always together in the halls. Fa-vorites of the gym teachexs, these twins make excellent referees for gym classes. Two very much-date- d juniors are the Morrison twins, Jean and ' Joyce. Of coui'se, now, the boys can't be forgotten, the Gilbert and Law-rence Farnsworth twins, seniors, are only one of the several sets attending South. An interesting twosome in South's happy family of brothers and sisters are Betty and Peggy Allen. Betty, a senior, enjoys playing the piano, and Peggy likes ballroom dancing. South's little vice president, Don Giacoma, has an equally small brother, Jack. In their home they have a ping pong table over which they play many close games. Bowl-ing is also a favorite of theirs, and Jack, the eldest, says Don's the best bowler. From California come Betty and Fred Russell. They have been in Salt Lake for over a year. Fred is the oldest and pays the bills when they go to a show together. South High School Serves the Nation Sugar Rationing services contributed by faculty.

M.'s president, Dick North says, "I re-solve to polish Mr. Hale's cranium at least once every day from now on, because it is starting to pet a little dull." Who knows, he may have some-thing there. - Mrs. Hickman resolves that Royal Nielson should hear, see, and keep still. If we know Royal, this will be a large order. She also resolves to be kind-er and more patient in the future. It is going to be hard to top her own fine record. . Gloria Clausen resolves not to comb her hair in class anymore. Resolved: Jean Marie Davies will, not sluff dish-es or housework next year. She will always be on time for school next year. She will have her lessons done and be in bed by 10:30. Who do you think resolves not to be out after midnight? 'How does that sound, Betty? Yes, you guessed it, it's our walking dictionary from Mis-souri, Ralph Pearson. Alice Sheets resolves to lose her southern ac-cent and learn the S. H. drag. Why don't you fellows help her' improve? Barbara Morrison resolves to keep her mind on her lessons. She did not say how the boys are go-ing to keep their minds on their lessons. Estimated Half Of Male Alumni Now Fight for U.S. Approximately half of all men graduates from South now serve in the U. S. armed forces, accord-ing to announcement by Principal De Voe Woolf, December 7. A few of these alums are Du-Way- ne (Dewey) Hansen, Stan Jones, Mark Schwendiman and Jack Lowder. Dewey is a second class seaman stationed at Orange, Texas.

He was home on short leave a week ago when .his father died. While attending South he was manager of the stage crew for one semseter and was on it for three years. Dewey was also active in the R. O. T. C. A former student of South, Stan Jones, is now with the Army Air Corp as a ground mechanic. An outstanding student, Stan was elected president of the junior and senior 'classes at South.

Challis What can I give my girl for Christmas? She's as cute as a lark, so says my heart, and the present must give that added spark. But to think of a gift is out of sort, and my brain whirls from the very start. I'll bet she'd kinda like a watch, but my funds are low, and they cost a lot. She might want a ring, with dia-monds and things or a pair of those fancy lace socks, but togeth-er they'd cost somewhat too much for the weight of my wallet to touch. So what can I give my girl for Christmas ? My heart tells me one thing, my wallet the next! My fa-ther warns me not to go to ex-pensemy friends all say a girl's worth naught, but my heart's set on the girl of my thought. Money couldn't buy all to her I owe. I haven't the money, so it's nonsense, I know. I have no choice, my finances remain, I'll give her a kiss all heaven to shame, but there, this gift will remain, a si- With the installation of "Victory lent memory of a lover insane. Training" rifles, South's R. O. T C. cadets who were fortunate to get on the drill team are settling down to the fundamentals of the manual of arms. ' Lieutenant Mitchell has been in-structing the seniors on the history of the American army. His lec-tures are interesting, and add new light to the cadets' knowledge on American history. Sergeant Red-mond, South's commandant, is in-stalling a new spirit into his unit by his iron rule, and most of the cadets feel thankful for its revo-lutionary actions. A greater R. O. T. C looms on South high, disci-pline its master. Charles G. Paull, jokes and all, is now teaching the juniors the why's and wherefore's of first aid. Like Lieutenant Mitchell, his course is made interesting by his humorous remarks concerning his course. The juniors think Mr. Paull is "all right," and they hope he remains for the duration of the course. Golly, Gas Gone -- Garage Gets Giimed-ii- p Gadget Jalopy owners, pull over to the curb. November 18, 19 and 20 your goose was cooked, and n o t your Thanksgiving goose, either. That gas buggy will have to bide its time, now, in the garage where formerly it only hung its radiator cap. Those wily teachers Viave pulled a fast one on you.( It was all their doing, this "you must take the 'A' card" busi-ness. Of course, Leon Hender-son had a little to do with it, but as he's not handy, take it out "on your teachers. Walking is good for you (or have you heard that one before). Any of you who wish to make a fortune, open up a shoe shop. Lots of people will be wearing down their shoes from s,o much meandering. From now on, Southerners must have tired feet instead of tired cars. And you think you're bad off! What are those poor cowboys going to do, with only four-gallo- n hats? The Pawn Shoppe Yearbooks Take Spotlight Round Circuit by CAMILLA SMITH The yearbook staff of Murray high, Murray, Utah, was proud to announce that they have a 1942-4- 3 yearbook due to a very success-ful " Yearbook Week." The Amphitheatre, yearbook of the Montclair high school, Mont-clai- r, N. J., has selected its 1942-194- 3 staff and has announced that pictures of M. II. S. boys now in service will be featured.

Climaxing National Education Week, 300 costumed girls of Fre-mont high, Oakland, Cal., pre-sented the United Nations' dance festival in their gym. About 500 members saw the pageant of folk dances. Hale Steps Into New Guidance Post At South Answering the neyd for help in vocational problems of the stu-dents, C. Dewey Hale, dean of men, last week was appointed vocation-al counselor of South high school. Mr. Hale's counseling has two main objectives; first, to help the student to understand himself, and second, to disperse more knowl-edge on the various occupations. In order to help a student to understand himself, a series of standardized scientific tests are given which show the skills, inter-ests and emotional and mental de- - velopment of the student. This guidance is open to all stu-dents of South high. Previous to Mr. .Hale's appoint-ment, Keith Hunsaker, who is now in the marines, was counselor. Choirs Serenade Student Body Songs such as "Silent Night," "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem and "The First Noel" were sung by a cappella choir members and by a'capella groups during all classes and lunch periods today. Select ed band and orchestra mem-bers played for students, whose minds were far from their studies. Many students missed out on this beautiful music because of work, but many more enjoyed the Christmas spirit through song. Mr. Durham directed the sing-ing, and Mr. Willardson directed the band and orchestra members. |
