SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC 13 UST as the scorpion symbolized the in- creased rule of the moon after the Sep- tember equinox in ancient days, so, 1 applying the symbol to our own day, the scorpion symbolizes the increased super- vision of the teacher over the pupil in October after the balance of supervision in Sep- tember, when adjustments were being made for the beginning of a new school year. In October Southerners found themselves well acquainted with new school life. T Sophomores probably found it most difhcult to adjust themselves to a new school year. A glance at a Sophomore Progressive Education Group could have easily conveyed the intense interest sophomores had in becoming better ac-- quainted with high school life. But under the able hand of VVarren Rossman. class president, sophies found the way not as difficult as antici- pated. VVarren was assisted by Shirley Chartier, vice-president, and Harry Reeves, secretary. One of the most popular ambitions of many sophomores is to become a member of the Rebel Rangers, sponsored by Mr. Collier, in either their junior or senior year. Square-dancing par- ties are one of the main indoor activities of this organization, headed by Myron Taylor, Chief Ranger.

Orau Miller tool: the role of toast- niaster at a banquet ten years in advance. The Pep Club, headed by the Pep Club Coun- cil, sponsored one of its niajor activities on Oc- tober twenty-fourth, the Pep Club Dance. The dance is a semi-annual atlair, but was of increased interest because 1936 was leap year. So the treat was on the girls. Marie Duncan and Ethyl Dyer worked 'til wee hours in the morning for weeks before as co-chairmen of the dance committee. Speaking of dancing, it would be only right that we should mention a popular pastime at South. the social hours. XVC sec practically the whole student body headed for the boys' gyui. Ilere we find a group of South's fine crop of dancers, eager to practice that swing, As in past years, illuminated signs were placed conspicuously at various places in the school to announce the social hours.
