'sf c' The new school year began on September the 8th witl1 an enrollment that reached 1935 by the first of june. Several new members were found among the facultyg among those who resigned, special mention must be made of bliss Nellie B. Coughlin and bliss lllary B. lioine, two devoted teachers who had labored indefatigably at South Park ever since the day it was opened. bliss Algire joined the faculty of Riverside High School, and bliss hlentley resigned to be married. To these teachers the South Park Faculty and the student body offer the best of good wishes. The high school life of a boy or girl is generally uneventful and the historian who would list outstanding events finds outside the precise routine that marks the passing days and weeks and months, very little, indeed, to reco1'd. With studies before him and studies around him the student soon comes to the realization that after all Euclid was right. There is no royal road to learning. Yet, recreations interspersed here and there, make tasks seem lighter. Again this year, the South Park team brought the Crimson trophy to the school. Basketball too enjoyed an exceptional year of victories and the season in Baseball, at this writing, is still with us. Track, Tennis, Hockey, Golf and, for the girls, Basketball, Baseball and Volleyball-each sport had its enthusiastic adherents. Christmas comes but once a year and South Park students endeavor to make the most of it. The Christmas Pageant seemed even more beautiful than ever. On Christmas afternoon the entire program was broadcast over VVBEN. The Faculty and members of the Glee Club are most appreciative of the enthusiastic comment con- tained in the hundreds of letters which were received at the school and which on account of the large number, could not be acknowledged individually. On the evening of December 29th the Alumni met for their annual reunion. Dinner was served in the cafeteria followed by dancing in the gymnasium. Garlands and balsam, tinsel and lights had converted the staid old gym into a bower of beauty for the jolly occasion. Dr. Joseph P. O'Brien of the Class of 1930 was re-elected President of the Association. Senior Day-the gladdest of the year-was observed on the 3rd of June. The delightful Assembly of the entire Student body in which the prospective graduates and their mothers played so prominent a part, was an event that will long linger in the memories of the seniors. All South Buffalo seemed to rejoice with the seniors on this their proud day. We are now leaving the year of sweet sixteen behind and are rapidly maturing into a ripe old school. lVIay the same freshness of vigor that has characterized each of the 16 years now fled, live on to animate the years ahead. As steadfastly adhering to principles that never change, as always cherishing ideals that reach out even to the sublime, as making her very own the priceless heritage of time while weaving it among the golden threads of the knowledge and wisdom of today, South Park confidently hopes to live on and on in the memories of the boys and girls to whom she bids fond adieu while in the self-same spirit she prepares a cordial welcome for the newcomers of 1931.
