SIGNS OF TIIE ZODIAC 27 'W M Betty Syler Buder was the manager of the team of which Mr. Bush was coach. The zodiacal sign of the month December is an amphibious animal-half goat and half fish. This figure. Capricorn, typities dominance over all space. The football team illustrated this domi- nance elearlv. On December first they held their champion- ship assembly and dance. Betty Syler reigned as queen of both affairs. An impressive tribute was paid to the mothers of the football men by lane Braueht. During assembly the Yale Club of Colorado presented us with a miniature Yale Bowl. Eleven lettermen will return next fall to help attain another victory similar to the one this year. The gridsters returning are Ierry Anderson, Harvey Click, Chuck Xiloodward. lack Cowrlen. Stu Clark, George Mason. llarry Condon. Chuck Haney. Paul lXIeClung. Bob Gifford and Ricky Taylor. Some pretty snappy prospects have been cited for the first team and have a good chance of placing this coming season: Cherry, llingley. Knight. McLellan, Viney, Stiles, Reiner, and Bank. A skit, VVhy Mothers Get Gray. was very cleverly given by Ieannc Smith. Marian lleld, and Gordon XVeller. The committee working on this program were Everette Bush. Mary Louise Buirgy, Shirley Trott. Daughan Conant, Bill An- derson. Gordon VVeller, john Griffith. and lohn Maier-Xllister. Mr. Cory awarded the letters. This was the climax to a perfect season. Roger Nelson is the gridsstars' choice. was the fortunate winner of a football awarded at the dance. The football had been used by the team and was signed by the lettermen. A pause, a retiection-then these tlionghts pass into the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the South- ern Gate of Ileaven. As Capricorn is the house of fame and ambition. so are the championship football team, assembly, and dance, truly suited to this sign. N , W, Roger Nelson gets what Iie's after.

26 SOUTHERN LIGHTS seemed a marked contrast with the if .fa-. warm colored bricks blended with gay 'fall tiled roofs which seemed to resemble human love blended with honesty, hap- piness, and friendliness. I could remember that the radiant young people, pausing before entering the building, seemed completely contented. It looked to me as if they were enjoying the sight of the many large glass panes, now shadowy. now shining, in the exterior walls of South Iligh. The gay laughter which echoed and re-echoed through these walls, and the visions this laughter formed, made the scene warm, gracious, and inviting. ' pHEN I looked at the picture of South covered with a blanket of snow, it i rl' i '- Using this vision as an invitation I wandered down the halls until I came to 215 where I stopped to look in the door. There I found the scene just as inviting, but in place of the gay laughter prevailing, I found an atmposhere of concentration, for the group within was preparing a broadcast which was to be given over N,B.C. Mr. Arnold, deep in thought, was sitting in his chair, near the window. He and Mr. XVhitney Snow-blanlceted trees and roof. were listening to Grant Holmes, Avis VVilson, Bruce Curtis, Barbara Morgan, and Henry Greg- ory argue over, XVhy Go to College? Clarence Stafford received his amateur radio operator's license this month. He is the president of the Rebel Radio Club. Other officers of this newly formed club are Dick Lang, Paul Rutsch- man and Charles Lounsberyg their oflices are vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respec- tively. Sparkling. radiant, sunlight bursting with joy and beauty, showered its rays on the glistening snow which covered the many tiled roofs at South. December, with its changeable weather, brought the exciting sound of steel on ice to Southerners. The hockey team surely exhibited true sportsmanship. It was decided that, because of the short skating season, no letters would be issuedg nevertheless. the members proved that the reason they were on the hockey team was because they wanted to play hockey. Howard Suskin, Durey Ranck, Don Milliken, lack Colson, Bob VVest, VValter Bowles, Bill Stancil, Iohn Griflith, and Ierry Anderson represented South on the ice. tit

28 SOUTHERN LIGHTS Ralph Baird. Deliver Post photographer, pro- vided an extraordinarily interesting lecture on Newspaper Photography for members of thc Press Club. Ile related several exciting tales of finding newspaper scoops. Mr. Baird exhibited camera equipment that was very valuable as well as new and unusual. Ile is expected to deliver an- other speech to the Press Club. The leads of the Opera H. Rl. S. Pinaforc, Madelyn Bailey, Bill Anderson. Florence Davis. George Mason, Phillip Dalby, Eleanor Kerr, and George Hinds, presented a cunning teaser for this musical production. A popular community sing was also scheduled on this program. South- erners most certainly enjoy such strains as VVho's That Comin' Down the Street and Empty Saddles in the Old Corral, Masters of chaos. Miss Nelson and Miss Aronson. On Monday. December 11, the dancing classes presented a highly entertaining program. Many of the dances were attractive and original. and had the performers given more time to practicing them. would have been extremely delightful. The Santa Claus dance climaxed the program. The costumes were designed by Violet Beasley under the supervision of Miss Coninc and were made of oil cloth. The concensus of opinion was that Mrs. Carlson did a nice piece of work behind the scenes in organizing these dance groups. VVC are sorry she will not be with us next year. The light opera was a glorious feat accom- plished by the untiring efforts of a student east composed of members of the Glee Club. under the leadership of Miss Lorraine Nelson, voice instructor. and Miss Aronson. who was dramatic Builder-uppers and tea rer- downers. Inset: Mr. Kendig.
