ITHE DgIALj Killeen, and Miss Eleanor Eckert were married and resigned their positions. Miss Mary E. Merington retired after fifty years of devoted teaching service. The Friday morning assembly programs have always been in charge of the students. This year a pleasing innovation was introduced. The regular exercises in public speaking were converted into dramatic presentations. The English students of each of the four years prepared a program monthly. Programs of presentations that were of outstanding merit'Will be found in this issue of THE DIAL. Students from South Park also participated in the Interscholastic Contests in Declamation, Oratory and Debate. Joseph P. Sullivan carried off the first prize in the city-wide oratorical contest and in the four Interscholastic Debates in which South Park took part, our debaters proved victorious in two. Christmas at South Park is a time of general rejoicing and the festivities of Christmas week linger long in the memories of students and alumni. There is hardly a student who does not have some share in all the busy preparations. The members of the cast, the Glee Club, the Choruses, the Orchestra and the Band, the Sewing, Cooking, and Printing classes, the large committees that are busy bringing in the greens to be woven by many busy hands into garlands, comprise practically the entire student body. The beautiful Christmas pageant was presented at noon on December 20, and again, for the general public in the evening of the same day. ,The Alumni returned in greater numbers than ever for their annual reunion on December 26. Dr. Joseph P. O'Brien, of the Class of 1920 was elected President of the association for the ensuing year. , Not the least gratifying feature of 1929-1930 was the exceptionally high level to which not only scholarship rose but also the general interest in scholastic attainment. Nor did any of the worthwhile features of high school life suffer in consequence. The football team won the Harvard Cup-a tie with Fosdick-Masten. Complete records of all sports will be found in the section of THE DIAL devoted to Athletics. Senior Day was observed on June 5. The Assembly Exercises at which the mothers of the graduates were present, the beautiful parade of the entire student body, the first public appearance of the South Park Band, the planting of the Class Ivy, the brilliant reception in the evening made Senior Day the day of days in the school diary of every South Park graduate. South Park High School has now completed fifteen years of its existence. With the same freshness of vigor that has characterized each of the fifteen years, she awaits the newcomers of 1930 and welcomes the return of students already enrolled. Clinging ever to ideals that are lofty, holding fast to principles that are unchangeable, handing down the priceless heritage of the ages, while spreading the fruits of modern knowledge and wisdom, South Park hopes, as the years roll by, to experience in her graduates the truth of her motto vires acquirit eundo.
