R E PR ESENTATIV E GIRLS Stained glass windows make the light Like songs of beauty from the sun,— Life could shine through us like that, ) ou and me and everyone. —Rebecca McCan x. El -K has shone through many people “like songs of beauty”. It has made of them people to be admired and loved; it has made of them vivid personalities that exercise influence over other people and other things. As life has sent its light through people of other years, so it is still sending it through people of today,—young people who are just beginning to make their way in the world; people who are seeking to make their characters line and strong. If it wills. Youth can be an expression of beauty by developing within itself the characteristics set down by civilization as standards of worth; honesty, reliability, perseverance, will power. Kverywhere—in the world at large, the home, and the school—there is a need of youth that possesses these qualities. As a school South has its youth who have the qualities of leaders; forms of beauty. On January 17, the students of the various classes chose two young people—a boy and a girl—to represent their class. No nominations were made; each student selected the person he thought best met the requirements of the honor of such a position. The selections were based on scholarship, school spirit, friendliness, support of school activities, co-operation, character, anil leadership. The girls who have been chosen to represent their classes arc a type of beauty through which life shines. They are the following: Agnes Hove, January '27 Re by Eggleston, June '27 Dorothy Guderian.

We will do all in our power to maintain the high standards of school spirit and loyalty set hv our predecessors. During the years which we have spent at South the true meaning of these traditions has grown into our hearts; it has grown, till now it is a part of us anil our school life. Next year when we face school problems and situations, and when we must test the right or wrong of any decision, we will apply our school motto as a touchstone, “Nobilitas Animi”, or Nobility ol Character. Always we will endeavor to live up to that ideal. —Kenneth Johnson, January, 1928. WK, as Juniors, have spent three happy years at South.

RI; PR ESFNTATIV H BOYS This learned from the shadow of the tree Which to ami fro did sway upon the wall: Our influence, our shadow selves, may fall Where we may never be. —Anonymous. INFLUENCE is the power that comes from character. It is invisible hut it is effective. In the world of business, art, and society, a strong man’s influence is a power. It keeps other people and other things moving, and at the same time wins recognition, admiration, and appreciation. As influence is felt in the world at large, so is it felt in school life. It is based upon such characteristics as honesty, sincerity, loyalty, co-operation, and straight-forwardness. The student who possesses these qualities may become a star in his chosen field of work, hut he also becomes a leader in many fields. As a Freshman the student cannot hurst into glory and prominence at once; but he can start out on the road and keep going steadily. The Sophomore has more opportunities; and if he makes the most of them, his Junior year will be a happy journey. But the first three years are stepping stones to Senior stardom. On January 17, the “Most Representative Boy Students” were elected by the classes at the same time that the “Most Representative Girl Students” were chosen. The standards for judgment for the hoys were the same as those for the girls: scholarship, school spirit, friendliness, support of activities, co-operation, character, and leadership. The boys who were elected to represent their classes are some of South’s finest students. The teachers describe them as sincere, loyal, democratic gentlemen. These boys are: Richard Carlstrom, January '27 Hiram Johnson, June ’21 Charles Curtis, Junior William Anderson, Sophomore Ralph Frit ell, Freshman Page Fifteen
