linllglgllllmgllullllgiqlaglni-ul: '- ww -1-',1--qu.imp-'11nun-ngmlmgumml Pioneer.' Q PlO'I'LC6'l'.l77 AlVlELOT, the city of ideals, was built to music, the poet tells us, and therefore never built at all, And therefore built forever, the inference being that the basic principle of all progress is harmony. , A fairy king and fairy queens have built the city, A fairy king They came from out a sacred mountain cleft Toward the sunrise, each with harp in hand, And built it to the music of their harps. Although the good land of fairy has long since vanished into the realm of half-forgotten things, South Division, like Camelot, is a sacred emblem of the harmony that thirty-five years ago actuated a group of eager men and women to realize their dream of bigger educational facilities for the South Side. Harps they had none, but in their stead, the power to think and the will to do. Under the leadership of three exceptionally gifted men, Sanford A. Hooper, Arthur Burch, and Edward Rissman, was promoted that harmonious develop- ment so characteristic of South Division through the years. ln the good work there stand out also the names of such compelling personalities as Mary B. Peterson, Lilla Braband, and Margaret A. French, women who devoted their hearts and minds to the interests of their pupils, and who consequently live in the deeds of those whose lives they helped to shape. For almost a score of years now the destinies of South Division have been guided by Mr. Coblentz. The old tradition that progress grows out of har- mony alone, has been jealously guarded and faithfully nurtured by him. He has watched the enrollment of the school mount from live to fifteen hundred, he has seen the faculty augmented from ten to sixty members: he has helped to multiply the students, opportunities: he has planned and supervised the enlarge- ment of the building to twice its original size--all these things he has ac- complished through a hearty co-operation between himself, his faculty, and his student body. High as Mr. Coblentz ranks in the educational affairs of the State, it is as a civic power that he is most valuable to his constituents, Under him the school has become the center of the community, and through him the ideal of those sturdy pioneers, that the school live in the hearts of the people, has been realized.

That saying tells the vibrant power that existed in the founding of our school. It is said, too, that in those early days they were proud that no pupil at South Division was ever known to belittle the school, the teachers, or the com- munity. Self-grced and self-seeking were not in their souls. Progress was made more vital and enduring by the sweetness and light of high companion-- ship, sacrificing friendship and sacred brotherhood. Today, with our present slogan, i'Shoulder to Shoulder, South Side, we carry on the tradition in spirit and in deed. The spirit of our founders abides with us. They gave us the vision of the ideal. We have endeavored to follow their light. NVe of today pass the flaming torch to you of tomorrow. I Principal. 'I tt'cr1ty-eight
