HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1950 SEPTEMBER, 1947 Our first month at South. We entered as slightly scared 10-B’s. June, 1950, looked very far off. The first issue of the Beacon contained a list of names of members of our class who were expected to excel in leadership, scholarship, and service. They all lived up to these expectations. OCTOBER. 1947 Our second month here and already we were gaining recognition. We had a championship JV Football Team of which the whole school was very proud. NOVEMBER, 1947 This month we raised our voices in the choruses of Robin Hood. Not only was our class well represented in the chorus hut we also had a few of the leads. Everyone who saw it will remember Disperse? Oh, no! We will not go!” DECEMBER, 1947 The official opening of the basketball season saw our JV team playing championship games. The rest of us faithfully attended all the games to cheer them and the Varsity players on to victory. JANUARY, 1948 January held for us a new year and new resolutions. We resolved to get letter grades and to give more service. FEBRUARY. 1948 February found us living up to these resolutions for we were promoted to the 10-A almost unanimously and at the end of the first marking period we led the honor roll in the school. MARCH. 1948 Down Euclid Avenue came the orange and black of South High School in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The colors weren’t quite right but the music that came forth made the occasion for those of us who saw it a thrilling one and an unforgettable one for those members of our class who marched that day. APRIL, 1948 Again the lure of the footlights. Though we weren't in the Spring Play, “Dear Ruth, we were in the audience enjoying every minute of it. This month we again appeared in the audience to hear the Annual Band Concert. MAY, 1948 0| en House presented an opportunity to display our year’s work. We escorted proud parents that night to the rooms where our efforts were displayed. JUNE, 1948 This month we watched some of our senior friends prepare to leave South and wondered if our class would ever receive such distinction. After they left and the few tears that had been shed had dried, things returned to normal and things returned to normal and we looked forward to summer vacation. SEPTEMBER. 1948 We had advanced a rung on the ladder of a successful school life. We were now 1 l-B’s and nearly to the top. OCTOBER, 1948 Our class was represented on the Varsity team and we were all full of expectations for a successful football season. NOVEMBER, 1948 Our expectations were fulfilled — we had regained the long coveted Pig Iron Trophy from Holy Name High School. For days we gazed at the trophy which was proudly displayed. To climax a successful football season after winning the West Senate Championship, South played against Benedictine, the East Senate Champion, in the Charity Game. In the last few minutes after we had given them a good fight, Benedictine went over the goal line making the score 6-0. Though we lost the game, we had a championship team and we were proud of them. DECEMBER, 1948 The beautiful Christmas tree, which was decorated by the student council, stood majestically in the center hall and reminded us of the coming vacation that meant parties and presents and fun for all. JANUARY. 1949 After l eing quiet for a while, our halls were again filled with noise and excitement l ecause the seniors were preparing to leave. This month belonged to the Senior graduating class so we quietly stood by and watched. FEBRUARY. 1949 A handful of people met one day in the social room at the invitation of its founder, W. O. Smith, to found an F.T.A. Several of our class members who were there later l ecame officers of this new organization. We lead the school in all fields—one of our girls l ecame leader of the Majorette club. South graciously bowed down to Lincoln after being defeated Page 28
