1 2 5 i a e l' I 1 SOUTH TEACHER-GRADUATES OME, sweet homel Fourteen former South students have succumbed to the lure of that phrase and have returned to their first love either as teachers or as members of the South High office force. Those comprising the number are the lvlisses Sadie L. Keatley, Maren lwichelet, Harriet M. Lucas, Eva Wheeler, lllabel Olson, Ifbba Norman, Evelyn E. Peter- son, Valborg Sund, lllartha Tweeddale, and lVIr. Fisher, teachers, and Misses Minnie Hertzenherg, Fern Bursch, Bernice Larson, and Mrs. Rlarie -Ielmo Vartdahl, clerks. Demonstrating the fact that selecting instructors is an intricate science, Principal Joseph Jorgens declared, I try to vary the teaching force as much as possible. I get teachers from the East, and then I pick the cream of the Northwest for South Highf' That the pedagogues Umanufacturedu at South are the 'fcreamn of the Northwest is intimated by the number of ex-students who are teachers here. Several present South teachersf' affirmed Miss Lela M. Klampe, are my former students. Among these are Miss Keatley, lvliss Lucas, lVIiss Olson, and Miss Hert- zenberg of the office. I often thought even then that these students would become teachers, because they had the essential qualifications for the work. f'Miss Hertzenberg, I think, was the most accurate and painstaking pupil I ever had. I don't remember a single mistake that she ever made. Whether it was an im- portant paper or a trivial exercise, there was always the same, consistent excellence. Hlkliss Lucas was another very accurate and especially versatile student. UA fine student, too, was Miss Olson. Although modest to the point of shyness, she could always be depended upon for a recitation. f'Miss Keatley was handicapped in her high school days by ill health. She has since proved, however, her remarkable ability by attaining to the position of assistant principal. If fourteen former students have anything to say about it, the old Orange and Black spirit and traditions will never dieg and if present pupils follow in their pedagogues' footsteps, the verse of Alma Mater, They ne'er will take a loyal heart from old South High, will be literally true.

' THE S COMMITTEE HE history of the S Faculty Committee really dates back to the year 1919. In the spring of that year, South High School sent its basketball team to the State Tournament at Carleton. That was one of those red letter occasions when the students are enthusiastic, the team is excited and the captain is especially charged by Mr. Jorgens to look after the team. That the captain and the team were worthy of the trust was fully proved by the fact that the team brought back the Appearance and Conduct Cup, which has ever held a place of honor in the trophy case. The basketball team of 1919, like all other athletic teams, had had its ups and downs, but in recognition of honest endeavor for straight forward manliness, a group of the faculty promised the boys that a banquet would be held in their honor. When the boys returned with the Ugood behaviorll cup in their possession, the banquet assumed a place of greater importance. Since the faculty committee disagreed on the menu, Hnally the boys them- selves had to be consulted. The answer came modestly but decidedly, turkey and. all that goes with it, and so all S letter men owe their turkey in April to the boys who Won the Conduct cup in 1919. The banquet has become an annual affair taken care of by the US Faculty Committee, a voluntary committee to which all faculty members are eligible. In addition to the annual banquet arranged in honor of the HS letter men, the committee now arranges for the annual banquet given in honor of the graduating Honor Students. To offer a wholesome place of amusement for students and alumni after the Friday games, the commit- tee instituted a series of Friday night parties, known as the S parties. The S Committee endeavors to increase the bond of fellowship be- tween students and faculty, and to hold up before all students of South High School an ideal of manliness, scholarship, and good sportsmanship. -lSADIE L.
