CARDINAL ANNUAL THE FIRST STOP THE OFFICE SOMEONE said, All roads lead to Rome. ' ' Students of South Division can trut hfully say, Most roads lead to the office. A glimpse into the office on registra- tion day is a real experience. The mill- ing, seething mass surges up to the counters, each person having a different purpose, and asking a different question. On one side of the office, behind a for- midable barrier, Mr. Coblentz and Mr. Book consult each other about matters of grave importance. On the other side, the office force. Mrs. Hintz, Miss Smerlinski, and Miss Monsen, is trying to ac- WHO ' S HI I complish half a dozen things at a time. The personnel of the mob is interest- ing to note. The freshman cringes in the corner to which the upper classmen have relegated him. The sophomore as- sumes a look of great dignity as be waits his turn. The junior tries to look se- date, but wishes that he could be as noisy as the others. Last of all, from Ins dizzy heights, the sen- ior looks down indif- ferently on his lowly fellows. However, registration day comes only once a semester, but the work of the office goes on forever. All in all, the office is the hub of our universe, isn ' t it? •df 20

ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL SUNBURNED faces, tanned backs, weary legs, and carefree hearts, all characterize the groups of boys and twirls, trudging along in the heat i f a bright September morning. It is no easy task for them to rouse their tired bodies and disperse their pleasant dreams on a fine- morning like this. Every part of them is still alive with the fun and sport of the past weeks. Pals, after reviewing their summer experi- ences, look forward to the activities of school life. Football! Track! Basketball! They walk shoulder to shoulder, ready to do their part whatever befalls. Girls and boys are ea er for what the future has in store for them. Someone says, Look! There ' s good old South, and a strantre feeling comes over them. How ' s that for strength? asks John as he works a bulging biceps. There ' s hydraulic pressure in that arm. Oh, Riv- erside, let me caress thee, he croons. Oh, what a lovely dress, Mary! squeals Susie. Hello, Tommy! Whatdaya know? Ev- erything except algebra an ' English an ' Latin an ' — Aw, smother him with a feather. Gee! isn ' t it good to see everybody again! Thus a new year has beoun at South Di- vision. I ' ' I i-

CARDINAL ANNUAL IN QUEST OF KNOWL] Dl -I THE LIBRARY BOOKS, books, books! Yec i: takes more than a mere collection ot books to make a library that lives. If one has grown to love books, to appreciate their fascinating journeys into the realms of the unknown, and into the regions of the known, he thinks of a library as a living thing that serves him. Service to the students is the chief aim of the South Division high school librarv, un- der the guidance of Miss Schmidt. There is always a good selection of fiction taken from the main librarv for the recreation of the stu- dents. A reading list of books for high schools is also avail- Din IN T% 0 CCK-S able. Current magazines of varied ap- peals are kept on the table beside Miss Schmidt ' s desk. Since the beginning of school in Sep- tember, the library has acquired some good books for its shelves, such as Better Speech by Woolbert and Weaver, Moby Dick by Melville, Short Stories by Ward, Little Women bv Alcott, and A Certain Rich Man by White. Two Gregg shorthand dictionaries have been added to the librarv. ■.- The library has many i i | pictures in it; the latest addition is one of Old Ironsides set in a frame made of wood taken from the old itself. frigate 21 •
