Our Slavedrivers Get Boost ,s From Scribblette . , , - By EDNA PRICE . ; Yes, they do heap the homework on their classes, but what would school be like minus teachers? Students will be seeing them five days a week from now on, so bet-ter get acquainted now. Just think, all that pep in one person Miss Kaplan, better known as "Kappy"; has the Physiology situation well in hand. A thorough going over of U. S. History plus a few stories about Squashville on the side can be heard from Mr. Humphrey. : And don't be too surprised if he turns out to be a favorite teacher. Not only does Miss. Noble un-derstand all those languages, but the stories she tells are so-o-- o in-teresting. Don't crowd, girls, but one Mr. Williams might well have the title of "The Most Popular Man-About-Scho-where the feminine half is concerned. For further details sign up for a commercial course in 312. Another person one can't go wrong on is the American Prob-lems lady, Mrs. Christensen. It isn't just a rumor that she's one of South's most interesting and popular teachers. Proof South Has Fine Students Decided Mathematically When school begins, everyone knows it's time to get out pencils, books and the like. There's history, and geometry. For instance, take one of those geometry problems. Given: South is a wonderful school. To Prove: South has the best students. Proof: " Meet some of the kids. Wait a second, that problem wasn't so hard to solve. Just look and see. ' Being blond and having blue eyes surely isn't any drawback to Cher-r-il Jacobsen, who will be a new at-traction from Lincoln high school this year. Gardening and playing the piano are her interests and anyone knows that a student like this is certain to boost South's reputation. Casey De Ycung, who hails from Jordan high, is looking forward to this school year because he is ex-pecting to play on the "B" football team. With almost six feet of height to his credit, plus a snazzy red and black polkadot car, he should be able to get around very easily . . . yes, very easily. A brownette, and a cute one at that, is Celestinee Herrcher, from Irving. Brown eyes and person-ality are great aids to this fair maiden whom Souh nearly lost, for just recently she decided to come here. She is five foot, three in-ches of real proof that South has the best. An old standby of last year still roaming the halls is Mrs. Gumm's youngest and only son, Wayne. Those pair of shoulders with a head perched in the middle belong to Mrs. Gumm's son Wayne, has great aspirations; he wants to become an orcrestra leader, al-though as a radio comic he certain-ly could bring in a lot of business. Oh, yes, Mrs. Gumm's son plays the clarinet used to raise chickens, but now raises cane. (To help the war effort no doubt.) Well, all we can say to those musical whims is blow, Gumm, blow. Then there's Lillian Larsen, whose girl friends call her "Babe," and her friends call her at "Babe" has a particular love for old coins, but the devotion she feels for new coins is even stronger. Those hazel eyes are a bit on the bluish side. She's a hon-ey colored blond with a disposition the same color as her golden locks. Personalities Dont Escape ?Newshounds' (In Fact, Here Are Some Of The Victims) By Ab Noxious STEP DOWN: Move over, mom, here comes the new kitchen queen. At the house of Carlson this sum-mer mom deserted her domestic duties and left Donna to do the work . . . and she did it, and be-sides that, she lust 12 pounds In the process. With every meal she cooked, Donna's appetite faded, until now she's a mere shadow of her former self, but the folks ate heartily and everyone's happy. SAY IT ISNT SO: But it is there are more freckles on that al-ready spot illuminated pan of Joe Bonny. Just one tennis game after another and you know how that sun will play tricks on one's epi-iderm- is, (skin to 99 per cent of the the population). If you see spots In front of your eyes it's probably J. B. SIZZLE SIZZLE: Suffering from an acute case of sunburn, Lawrence "Foo" Johnson says he and "Tangerine" ought to go well together . . . you know, they both peel so easily. SPEEDY RECOVERY, JO ANN: Bedded this summer was Jo Ann Squires who got in the way of an infantile paralysis bug, and had a pretty tough time fighting the old meanie off, but now she's on the road to recovery and will be at school sometime near the second semester. PASS THE LINIMENT, MA-MA: Those two physiques about town, Dal' Johnston and Bob Bark-er took up resident in a Wyoming lumber camp this summer, need overhauling on their tired bones. Dr. Scholl never saw a coin until he sees the ones on the beautiful feet of South's two lumberjacks. 1 MORE LINIMENT, PULL-- EESE: Marge Wallin seems to be carrying her patriotism a little too far by getting red cuts on her white skin plus a couple of blue bruises. She owes all her patriotic favor to the tumbles she took on a hike to Mt. Tompanogas. HAM ON RYE, COMIN' UP: Kay Gertino worked in her brother's restaurant this summer. Kay dis,hed out bean sandwiches, fried eggs on pie, and made the customers like 'em. In fact, they kept coming back for more! How four feet, ten could cope with the intricacies of eh "hash sling-ing" is quite a question unless that four ten be Kay Gertino. NOTHIN' DOIN: To quote the working words of Dick Palmer, "I ain't been doin' nothin' I been relaxin'." Dick maintains a person can't be properly prepared for school if he works too hard. Besides gobbling up a year's supply of vitamin pills, Dick's been acting as business manager of a local garage (he -- answers all the phone calls). If Charles Atlas will have him, he aims to take a course from the .great maestro of muscle. Say, on Dick, muscles would look good. TWIN BILL: Here's a duo who don't look alike, but just the same they're twins. Eddy whips a mean tennis racquet around and Teddy brandishes a terrific violin bow. Eddy's hair's vanilla: Teddy's Is strawberry. They're the personal property of Mr. and Mrs. Ander-son. SEMPRE FIDELES: With all alumni still supportin' good old South, and the arms plant still supportin' all alums, this ought to be a good year. No More Short Pants for South Time was when South high was the infant of the city scrool asso-ciation weak in background and tradition, but strong in body and spirit. Now the school is entering its twelfth year, and like the boy who finds himself at that age, Is springing foreward to greater heights and fame." While yeta babe, South was blessed with an effective adminis-tration which broke the too-tig- ht bonds which bound themto the pact of the Salt Lake high school. Wish-ing traditions of its own, young s South created the finest Constitu-tion in use by the three schools. . . and we are now reaping the reward of the success those ventures brought. Today South is outgrowing its childish follys, taking on new ones, it is true, but with them attaining a mellowness, a steadfastness, a concreteness which will someday bring more glorys to the school. Even that football title is not so distant now! It Must Be It begins with a slight tickling sensation in the throat. Its symp-toms work their way into the head, usually weakening the system of even the strongest human. Every-one is susceptable to this plague. Even an emergency supply of vit-ima- n Bl does not fortify the body against contagion. It can happen to tht most unsuspecting, lawyer, school girl, or dapper collegian. It plays no favorites, both young and old are at its mercy. The onset may be gradual or lightning quick. Perhaps it was the lovely girl with such a beautiful gardenia in her raVen treses, or maybe it was the effecto f a mid-summ- hay-rid- e which gave you that sizzling feeling in the pit of your stomach, but whatever started you feeling that way, you've got something and your stuck with it. One eve-ning you retire feeling perfectly normal and happy; the following morning you awaken, you can't sleep, you're appetite has faded to just a glimmer, your head's in a whirl, you feel like crying, but you're not unhappy. Do you know what's the matter? No? Brother, you have hayfever!

Every class-room, hall, nich and corner are dear to all who have attended, but one splendid thing about it is it's intense interest in quick correction of undesirable things. Now, the most appealing spot and the spot most loved by everyone at South is the Cafeteria. Let me illustrate my point. Last year the cafeteria was a disgrace at the beginning of the season. The place at all lunch times was stacked knee deep in lunch sacks, papers, and bottles; the trays were never put back in place. It certainlyt was a mess. When you tried to take a delicious bite of that hamburger all of a sudden you found a sack right in your face or a banana peeling sailing at your mouth, thrown by some indifferent student. By the time you were through with lunch you had eaten more than you planned on. Later in the year members of the school recognized the need for a cleaner, more sanitary dining room. Well, school members got togethtr to try and control this sit-uation. They did very well; in fact they improved it immensely. How-ever there' is still room for im-provement. Now we are starting a new at year school, I think we should all put forth every effort toward keep-ing the cafeteria in order. South doas what it sets out to do so let's all get behind the lunch bag and put it in the can. David Lingard CLUBS, PRAISED What are the elements that make South the best school in the state ? The answer to this question would indeed take pages and pages, but I think that one of the most out-standing elements is the democratic manner in which the school is run. In my opinion, this method of povernment is most decidedly car-ried over in the organization of school clubs. The need for proper-ly supervised extracurricular ac-tivities that meet the interest of each student has been answered from one year to the next by the principals and faculty of South. Clubs are not carried over autumn activities are newly or-ganized upon request of the stu-dent body. In previous years, mem-bership has been unrestricted. It is definitely my opinion that this condition should continue, I believe that one should be privileged to af-filiate himself with the club that he desires. I think that South 's uniciue meth-od of club organization alone is a contributing factor to the friendly spirit of this school. I am a hearty enthusiast of a wide range of club activities and it is my opinion that this club svstem will make a great hit with all Southerners. Mary Lu Edman. Hi! Out of Staters With the tremendous influx of population into Salt Lake City comes over a score of students to South from all sections of the U. S. ' It is to those particular stu-dents South says, hello, the wel-come mat's on the aoor, come on in and have a seat. Glad to have you, Arkansas, North Dakota, New-York.- " Don't be confused. Why, soon you'll be calling yourself an "old hand" in maneuvering about the halls and making friends quickly. It won't take you long to notice that Southerners are just the same as any high school teensters jnany American city. So, take off your hat and stay awhile. To miss a kiss Is more a miss Than it would be To kiss a miss, Provided that The kiss you miss. The miss herself Would never miss, But if you try To kiss a miss To whom a kiss Would be a miss You better always Miss the kiss. Silly Slogans Smell July 4 Jose, can you see?

Drive Safe, Cubs Dear Southerner: When winter comes along, and the roads are slippery, remember this little note. We are in war time, and tires are almost impossi-ble to obtain. However, you may be driving the car to a dance or two in the near future. Don't think that just because there are fewer cars on the road that it's all right to speed. Remember your pledge to the government: "I will drive under forty miles an hour." t We're Just Supposirf . . . You were caught cutting classes this year, and Mater Dyer found out your little number.
