XII; No. 1. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1942. Price Five Cents. The Editor's Foreword Seniors, This is Your Year of Years! Somebody's illustrious grand-papp- y years ago must have been inspired by high school ' seniors when he uttered that bit of philosophy, "all good things come to him who works and waits," For the stoogent at last comes into his own at tht attainment of seniorship to him it is the ultra-ultr- a . . . the flight from the chrysalis which for eleven years forces him to remain the underpup. There are as many types of. seniors as there are of freshies, or sophs, or juniors, but even the familiar cavorting maniac of the campus, full of showoff-abilit- y, seems to posses a bit of the new found dignity which embraces all in the class. So to you who have accepted the challenge to finish your bit of lower education, our compli ments! There should be a great joy in these days when the lower-cla-ssmen respect your posi-tion and make it known with the familiar phrase, "So you're a senior!" Hats in Ring Dee Lowder and Barbara Mor-- I rison, candidates In South high school's presidential race, look over plans for the coming school year during their first week of campaign-ing. 7 I $S!y , I ,v if s $k$t.

Ben-nio- n. Dr. Bennion, chairman of a com-mittee which acts as coordinator between industry and education, said that the business opportunities would be open mainly in the after-noon, with several morning jobs open, also. (Ernest M. , Hanson and Dr. L. John Nuttall, Jr., are now plan-ning a program in which students may take advantage of jobs with-out losing valuable credits neces-sary for graduation. Several con-ferences failed to bring about def-inite plans, but an early solution to the work problem was promised. Shift Rumor Discounted Early summer rumors indicated that a "shift plan" was to be in-augurated. A seven a. m. shift was to be followed by one followed by a similar schedule beginning at one p .m. In view of the shortage of 200 teachers in Utah, however, plus added expenses in building maintenance, the plan seems dis-tant. Those who passed on the rumor evidently failed to note the dif-ficulty and strain the plan would place on sports and social activi-ties, observers point out. The board of education's plans as far as they have been present-ed, have met with approval at the three city high schools, where ad-ministrations see no lack of work-ers for department stores during the pre-Christm-as rush. Bobbie, Dee Become Lone Pres. Aspirants No Primary Vote Is Verdict As Neeley Resigns Barbara Morrison and Dee Low-der, candidates, for the office of student body president, have launched a lively campaign with posters and other inducements. They alone of the five original nominees selected last spring will seek the position, David McLelland, Milton Hollstein and Jimmy Neeley having resigned from the presi-- 1 dential race. Milton vacated his position in order to remain eligible as editor . of this year's Scribe staff. Lack) of time prevented Jimmy and Dave 1 from running for the office. Both are in line for the presidency of S.A.M. - - In previous years Dee has served as vice president of the student body and been on the "C" football, "B" basketball, and track teams, Manager of his campaign is Dave McLelland. Barbara presided over the '41-'4- 2 Junior class. During that time sne won much acclaim for her acro-batic and adagio dancing. John McMillan is managing Barbara's campaign. No definite dates have as yet been set for the election, but the office indicated that in view of the primary cancellation, the election would probably be completed be-fore October. Because it would leave them lit-tle time to prepare a campaign, none of the runners up in the nom-ination have been selected to fill candidate posts. Consequently, there will be no primary ballot, Miss Dyer announced. P-T- A Seeks Funds For Dugway Room South high school's P-- T A has gone "all out" for the 250 lone-some doughboys stranded at the Dugway proving grounds. The organization has bested the local U S O and other societies by launching a campaign designed to give the men at the base adequate furnishings and books for a gover-nment- erected 50 x 35 foot rec-reation room and library. The proj-ect is being developed aside from regular P-- T A activities, accord-ing to Mrs. Stephen T. Gillmor, president, who voiced an appeal for good furniture and suitable books for the hall. Heretofore.the army camp has contained litle more than sage-brush, sand, cactus, and a motion picture house, lone recreational facility, and Sandblast, appropri-ately named camp newspaper, ver-ifies. Major A. J. Mottern, morale of-ficer, has been in consultation with Mrs. Gillmor and Miss Winifred H. Dyer. Miss Dyer and Mrs. Gill-mor visited the chemical testing ground last week, driving the 74 miles past Tooele, closest town, in-to Rush Valley, site of the camp. Already equipped with a radio contributed by Mrs. F. C. Middle-mas- s and a few pieces of furniture donated by the Granite and South-Ea- st Furniture companies, the day-roo-m is yet woefully barren, Mrs. Gillmor stated. Committees are planning activi-ties to raise funds and encourage contributions. Fate of Yearbook HaDgs in Balance The "to be or not to be" of this year's Southerner will be decided by the photographic materials available, it was announced by De Voe Woolf today. Faculty sponsor of the yearbook, D. F. Williams, is making every ef-fort to produce this year's volume. He has been consulting with Ecker studios and engravers as to pros-pects for the 1943 edition, but ad-mits that "No news is good news." The 1942 Southerner was plan-ned as the last for the "duration" for South, but students retained the hope for a book again this year. Students and faculty alike have voiced the opinion that if we have no book, the sacrifice is still worth making. Meanwhile, the fate of this year's volume still hangs in the balance, awaiting the photographers' ulti-matum. Sarge Puts Damper on Rumors Says Loss of Rifles is !No Matter" Pictured center, Sergeant McNair . . . outlines for wartime Having relinquished all rifles to the government for juse in the armed service, South ROTC class will face a rearrangement program this year, according to Sergeant James R. McNair. "Loss of the guns doesn't mean much," said South's 'Old Sarge.' The rifles were government lent to the school originally and though their absence will be felt, a replace ment schedule will prove an almost equal substitute. Abandoning former gun practice and drilling, ROTC cadets will par-ticipate in the new physical train-ing program which is being put in-to effect. Wherein last year's classes called for 14 hours' physical training, this year's revamped schedule will necessitate 27 hours - 'V ! - I of drilling and callisthenics, al-most double the amount of the pre-vious year. , The Sergeant quieted all rumor concerning any possibility of mak-ing ROTC a compulsory sub ject for high school boys. The rumor was just another story attributed to the present international crisis and has no foundation whatsoever, he said. Sergeant McNair , in line with today's problems, is seeking a com-mission in the army. The Sergeant stated that he may sot be called for several months, or he may be called tomorrow. With only a few of last year's officers returning to active duty, preparation has been made for the beginning of officer's tralnmg school. First classes will start Tuesday, September 8, at eight a. m. promptly. Scribe Lists Faculty For South Hi Only three new teachers for South high school are filling vac-ancies in the faculty, but two sub-stitute teachers now have classes and two teachers have not been re-placed. Miss Gladys Alexander, short hand and type teacher, will replace Miss Liliuo Poulter, who is leaving for New York as an exchange teacher for Miss Alexander. Mrs. Barbara Biesinger Greene, former girls' physical education teacher, is being replaced by Miss Helen Blood, who formerly taught at West high school. Acting as boys" physical educa-tion instructor and coach in place of Bill Johnson is Kenneth "Pat" Ryan. Mrs. Ruth Ford Watkins, Eng-lish teacher, has not been replaced, as in the case of Miss Isabel Ga-gia- n, who is in Michigan obtaining her Masters' Degree. The office is yet uninformed as to the status of Wayne J. Ander son. Mr. Anderson may return or may accept a government position. He is being replaced by Miss Ma-rie Christensen, formerly of West Col. Swift Leave-s- Hofmaim Heads City ROTC Unit New Professor of Military Science and Tactics for the Salt Lake City High schools is Colonel A. A. Hofmann, formerly of Rich-mond, Virginia, replacing Lieu-tenant Colonel Allender Swift, who is now in Fayettville, Arkansas, at the state university. Colonel Hofmann, who has been in Salt Lake City since July 24, im-mediately set up his-- office at the school administration building, 440 East First South street. He will have direct supervision over South East, and West high school ROTC units. It was announced that Captain J. P. Mulder, Jr., would again be at South this year until he receives expected transfer orders. If he leaves, a Lieutenant Mitchell, now in Texas, is expected to take his place. - i. i |
