Show Thursday, June 4, 1942. SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE " Page Three Thurman., 1938 Scribe Editor, Pays Visit to Cubs Home recently on furlough was Sgt. Earl Thurman, ' Scribe editor in 1938, now serving in the U. S. Air Corps, who visited the South faculty, students and Scribe staff on May 22. Earl is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arch M. Thurman of 1923 Atkin Avenue, and the brother of Alice Thurman, who attended South high school last year. While attending South, Earl played end on the "A" football team and he also played left guard on the "A" basketball team. His first fifteen months of army life were spent in San Luis Obispo, California, in the Field Artillery Division. While in the Field Artil-lery Division, he acquired the rat-ing of Corporal. He left the Field Artillery to join the Air Corps and wasstationed in southern California, where he start-ed training about June 1. Earl was the chief of the arms 9 section, using a 205mm. Howitzer, which is one of the newest Field Artillery arms. After leaving South, Earl at-- tended the U. of U., where he ma-jored in English. He revels in his army life and when asked if he liked the army, he said, "There isn't any other place I would rather be at this time when we are at war. "Just when the weather warms up and I meet new friends from South, my leave is at an end and I have to return to the coast," Earl remarked on his departure. During his visit here, he saw and was welcomed by many of his old friends and teachers. Joye May, left, tells Earl Thurman, former Scribe editor, how many Seltzers the staff used in editing the paper this year, while Milt Holl-stei- n, '43 editor, grimaces at the right. Southerners Write Open Letter to Their Alma Mater Dear Old South: How we wish we could write in your yearbook!' After all, we are proud of the liberal education we have received from you, and you have given us more fun and memories than anyone or any- - a real climax to the year. And how could we forget the hilarious times we have had in the activities of our various clubs? A slumber party without sleep and bachelors without bachelors ? And so we write a happy FINIS to the end of a perfect year, and one which will always be remem-bered. Thanks so much! Your departing Cubs, lives will be slightly "bear" without you. i thing. Remember the good time we had getting acquainted at "Hello Day", at the first of the year ? That was the beginning of glorious year, to be long remembered. In reviewing the things that have happened this year, dear Alma Mater, we can truthfully say that every assembly, every dance, ev-ery drive or campaign, and every production was an example of a real democratic success. We'll never forget all the won-derful assemblies you have given us. Reg Manning - that clever cartoonist, those thrilling adagio dancers, the Ritz Trumpeteers, and charming Madame Davey were only a few of our special entertainers and speakers. Your talented sons and daughters did much in the entertaining line, too, with many clever skits which were directed by the tireless ef-forts of Mrs. G. Wilcox and writ-ten by Mrs. C. Jackson. And how could we forget Miss Dyer's reg- ular "patrols" up and down the aisles ( guilty conscience ? could be). "Ever Since Eve", was a produc-tion filled to the brim with excite-ment, romance, and humor. We are proud of our "brothers" and "sis-ters" who took part in it. The Dance Drama gave us a feeling of uplifting satisfaction in accomplishment as the curtain fell on the final scene of "Our Am-erica". , Another production we listed among "the best" was the Fashion Show and Band Concert, with its patriotic theme, "From Reveille to Taps." Ah, and last, but certainly not least, were your famous dances. The regulalr student body dances and the "Sam Barn Dance" were all just loads of fun but of course, we hold such thrilling ones as the "Cadet Hop", and the "Dream Castle Prom", foremost in our minds. Beautiful white airplanes flying overhead, patriotic flags and eagles on the walls, and cadet drills made our hearts beat with excitement at the annual "Cadet Hop". It took our breath away, when we walked into the courtyard to see white castle spires rising into a sky of twinkling stars and a huge rotating moon, at the girls' "Dream Castle Prom". Our "SK's" were a lot tougher on us this year, weren't they? Nevertheless, we did manage to smuggle an ice cream cone, or a piece of candy through the lines once in a while, didn't we? (Ain't we kinda naughty?) That little booth in the foyer certainly was convenient for stu-dents to step up and "help win the war" with buying defense stamps. The sale of bonds and stamps in our school, along with the Award Dinner Dance, brought Chem Instructor Informs South Of His Activity In Salt Lake for a very short visit Mr. Vivian B. Decker, former teacher of South High School, in-formed some of the faculty mem-bers as to the work he is now doing in the line of Defense. Mr. Decker formerly employed in the army near Los Angeles was recently transferred to Baltimore for information on a new kind of work. While attending classes there, he was called upon to be in-structor of the methods of con-struction being done. He is now teaching a class of 600 men every day. Mr. Decker informed friends that he enjoys this work very much and likes it better than his position on the coast. Probably the famous Baltimore fried chicken dinners biased his opinion. A Word to the Wise In the presence of one of our faculty members, a prominent wo-man of this city stated that she could certainly distinguish the South high school students from others because students of South are champion gum chewers and at any time in any place, always whip out a comb and rake or begin to resiliently comb their hair. (So said the woman.) A word to the wise is sufficient ? In Sympathy On behalf of the student body, we extend deepest sympathy f and condolences to Elaine West and her family upon the death of her mother on June 2. Lecture Honors Speech Classes Climaxing a successful year of speech work, the debate classes, taught by Miss Myrth Harvey, were honored by a lecture given by Dr. Gail Plumber of the University of Utah. The "get-togethe- r" took place during sixth period on May 25, with Miss Ruth Rees' sixth period foods class as guests of the debaters. Everyone was impressed by the words of Dr. Plumber. He emphas-ized the fact that speech is used by everyone, everywhere, and that the way we speak radiates our person-alities. Stating that he felt he was speaking to the wrong audience, he encouraged the students to con-tinue their speech work, and to use its principles to uphold the truth. Refreshments prepared by the foods class were served in the community room. Miss Myrth Harvey wore a cor-sage given to her by the debaters in expression of their appreciation of her inspiring instruction this year. FAREWELL By BONNIE JEAN SCOTT If I could walk alone tonight Along each corridor and hall, If I could see old posters there On bulletin and wall, If I could feel, just once again, That sweet security That comes from teacher's guiding hands, From friends with love for me, Then in the quiet solitude I know I'd faintly smile. As if my thoughts had wandered back Into the past awhile. Achievements, good times, sorrows too, I never shall forget, And the memory of that last school dance Is lingering with me yet. No more to shake that friendly hand, To join in song and play, For now has come, for most of us, The parting of the way, There are many things ahead for me In all the coming years, And I with joyous heart look up But my eyes are dim with tears, For these things that I have loved And that friendly binding tie Although I'm so unwillingly to Must be severed with goodby. For you see, I am a graduate No longer here I'll dwell, To this beloved school of mine, Alas, I bid Farewell.

Now all they do to get a laugh is take a look at the middle names published in South's graduation list. Defense-less babies christened with middle names by parents are now the ob-ject of all the mirth. Decorating the list are lulus such J as Uarda (one for me), Cromar, and Spiro. Romance also has its share in the dirty tricks parents played on their offspring. Venus and Love are the hapless souls. One genius got hooked with the name, Wiseman; another has gone through life with the attachment, Pingree. Some parents who must have had a great love for salad christened their child Romaine. There's one fellow with the tongue twister, Rohrbah. Bob Hope should get a laugh out of such impressive moni-kers as Gwilyn and Edgarda. Included in this list are such as Phyrl, Aquilla, and Wolfgang. South also has its share of cele-brity names. The school is especial-ly fortunate in having two Robert Taylors, (one more than Stan-wyck has.) Then there's Joe Lewis. Gloria Swanson, Marion Anderson, and Charley McCarthy Woolf. Shakespeare once said, "What's in a name?" After readin' that graduating list, we dunno either, '.brother. j Patronize Our Advertisers . . . They Patronize Us! HAL'S REALLY CRAZY ABOUT MB...
