SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC 17 Coaches Iohnson. Iorgenson, and Phillco look a bit worried for boys interested in radios. They learn the prac- tical theory of radios and have demonstrations. The club is sponsored by Mr. Shearer and meet- ings are held in Room :ro at assembly time. Meetings are also held at different boys' homes in the evening. The oflicers include Clarence Stafford. president: Richard Lang, vice-president: and Paul Rutschman. secretary. Charles Louns- berry fulfills the duties of treasurer. A subject uppermost in the mind of every loyal Rebel during the fall of 'Q6 was the football season. South had a team with eleven lettermcn. one for every position. The efforts of these men resulted in an undisputed championship for South. Football in all the prep schools in Denver got a setback by the weather man, as the games for September twenty-sixth were postponed be- cause of snow: however. all teams benefited by the extra week of practice. On October third the football season was un- der way when South routed XV est :go to 7 before a crowd of four thousand. 4 Time after time Paul McClung. hard-crashing fullback, carried the brunt of the attack. lack Bennett, husky tackle. blocked a punt and fell on the ball over the goal for another score. Chuck Haney was also good. Lafe McClard scored XVest's lone points. At the October tenth game South downed North 1O to o. South's win over North was due perhaps to the work of the two best guards in the city. Ranck and Anderson. After a scoreless first half, VValsmith booted a conversion from the thirty-yard line. McClung later kicked out of danger with a sixty-yard punt. Vtlalsmith later in- tercepted a pass and on the next play McClung scored, XVally converted. Schuyler Toes Curtis played a bang-up game at the center post. South's win over East on October seventeenth was probably due to their aerial attacks. 'l'he ex- cellent passes of South made this game one of the best of the season. One particular Saturday morning cars all dee- orated in purple and white lined up at South Downing Street and Louisiana Avenue. The occa- sion, if you have not already guessed it, was the parade before the game we played with Manual on October thirty-first. Senior Pepsters led the procession in the Rebel Ranger bus with the Hep, lrep, we are marching to victory Time out

16 SOUTHICRN LIGIl'l'S l Left Miss hlary Patterson Right Library Slip Sender-Outers, Bliss W ard and Bliss Campbell conducted a few days before the actual election. The results at South proved to be also the general trend throughout the United States. Roosevelt received 1,156 votes to 788 for Landon. Books! Books! Books! Lost books! Found books! or Strayed books! were the by-words dur- ing the Hrst part of the beginning semester. After repeated efforts of Miss VVard and Miss Camp- bell, librarians, South's efficient Student Council sponsored a drive for the recovery of the lost library books. Rebels and teachers heard so much about the lost books that they couldn't help but search for them. Eager to help those who are less fortunate than they, students at South co-operated wonder- fully in contributing garments to the Needle W'ork Guild. A drive was conducted by each fourth hour class. Every class room managed the activity as it saw Ht. Miss Meyer. commercial teacher, acted as faculty sponsor. It seems' that Miss Meyer has that somethingl' necessary to make such a campaign a success. The drive this year was indeed successful. More than one thou- sand garments were contributed. Maybe the boys at South are getting a little more socially minded, for, as a whole. they contributed more than in former years. On a day soon after the drive had closed an exhibit of the garments was displayed in the south corridor. Potted plants and music by Charles Lounsberry's orchestra added to the in- terest of the affair. The parallel of the Girls' Pep Club is the Rebel Club, composed entirely of boys. The boys meet before school every Tuesday morning in Room 152, under the sponsorship of Mr. Hall. Bill Anderson, as president, handles the snappy meetings very efficiently. Paul Davis, vice-presi- dent, doesn't have the opportunity to preside very often, but he has other duties. too. Bob Morris summarizes the events of each meeting i11 the records of the club. Bill Sanders, as treasurer, handles the money on such occasions as the an- imal dinner dance and school dance. Other activ- ities include tl1e P.-T. A. drive and two football rallies yearly. At Christmas time the club has charge of the Santa Claus Shop. The Radio Club at South is an organization Miss Meyer and her three aids, Ruth Barmatz. Lois Lundin, and Dorothy Flint, helped make the Needle Wfork Guild drive a success.

But if it rveren't for the excellent coaching of Coach Johnson, Southerncrs would not have left the stadium so rejoieinglv after each game. Therefore honor is given to whom honor is due. and surely the coach deserved a lot of praise. YK-'hile the whole student body was greatly interested in the happenings of the football sea- son, a large group of girls were looking forward to the speed ball season. also. The girls' speedball manager, Barbara Ensign, called for players. Nearly one hundred girls re- ported for practice. For four weeks Manager En- :nun-an Hail! Hail! The gangs all here!
