CLASS DIARY Dear Diary. As we. the June ‘49 class, recall the three years we spent at South High, we remember many unforgettable and memorable incidents in which our class participated. Here, in our class diary, we have written some of the most important incidents so that in future years we may still remember them. SEPTEMBER. 1946 Early this month 263 of us entered South High School. This was a month we shall never forget. We were all slightly nervous (even lnghtened), especially when we had such difficulty trying to find our various classrooms Later in the month we received our first issue of the South High Beacon.

Four girls in our class were on the Beacon Staff; eight boys were on the football team; and ten girls belonged to the Majorette Club which were now wearing white satin skirts.

NOVEMBER. 1948 This was a month of victories for South. We regained the Pig Iron from Holy Name, and won the remainder of our senate games. To celebrate these victories, the Student Council sponsored a football frolic in the school gym. The dance was so successful that the balcony had to be opened for dancing. After this came the greatest game of all. the Charity game. Representing the west senate. South played against Benedictine, the east senate champs. Although we were defeated 6-0, South is still proud of its championship team. Another championship was won by the Jay Vees. For the third consecutive time, the Jay Vees won the football championship.
