I V ]'Eli Y door is barred with gold and opens but to golden keys.”—Ten n yson . Today tiik door of success is indeed barred with gold and the golden keys are the different parts of education. A student enters high school as a seeker of the key and is graduated as a “holder of the key.” During these four years in school, he has been instructed by the “keeper of the keys,” the teachers, who have done their l cst to pass on to him their knowledge. The main aim of the school is to help the student gain the academic key, but the job isn't considered well done unless the student holds at least one other key. He should be familiar with all the keys: the sport key, which is received by active participation in one or more sports, the musical key, which comes from being in the choir, orchestra, band, or glee club, and the club key, gained by taking an active part in the Student Council, Blue or Silver Tri. Scton Hi, a Hi-Y, or one of the numerous other organizations in school. 7 4e IriJatyidtanian 194-4 January Editor..Louise Grancr Layout Editor....Nancy Cronon June Editor........Judy Couch Yearbook Adviser Miss S.

Ever Since Eve, the class play of the January graduates, gave Bob Rainey. Louise Graner. and Pat Heg-man the principal roles; other leads were played by Georgia Baldwin, Elvcra Fautsch, Bill Odcgard, Bette Jayne Smith, Garry Woodward, and Ralph Van Dyke. The proceeds of the production will Ire spent lor stage equipment which will l e h it as a class memorial. Because of the small si e of the class, a special frolic was allowed the group at Lyman Lodge. Also their class day was climaxed by a roller skating party at the Arena, and supper at Isora Peel’s home. The Class of January, has hit an all-time high for the number of boys in the service as compared to the total enrollment of the group. The following January graduates do not have their pictures in the Annual: Emily Kremer. Ward Duel, Don Ford.

Sue Tm nighr of December third, the January graduating class presented a three-act comedy entitled Ever Since Eve.” This play, directed by Mrs. Elinor Hovlan. was one of ihe funniest ever given at Southwest. and got record breaking laughs. Over four hundred laughs had been recorded up to the third act, when count was lost. The play was about typical high school students. Johnny Clover and his chum. Spud Erwin, are running the school paper, when Susan Blake and Betsy Erwin move in on them. Susan has been appointed girls' editor by Miss Willard, teacher at Preston High School. Johnny and Spud arc very disgusted and try in every possible way to get rid of the girls. Henry Quinn, principal, stands up for the boys, but Miss Willard wins out and the girls stay. Lucybellc Lee is a flutter-eyed little Southern girl who moves to town and captivates all the boys, Johnny included. A struggle goes on between him. Preston Hughes, and Spud for her affections. Mr. and Mrs. Clover, and Cappy, the local police man, watch the goings-on of the youngsters with amusement. When Johnny gets the measles, Susan takes over the paper. She manages to mix up everything and everybody pretty badly, but the play ends happily with Johnny realizing that it is really Susan whom he likes.

The class motto, “Stand close to all, but lean on none, remains to he accepted or rejected by experience. “Out of the Frying Pan, the choice for the June Class Play, was presented with an air of comedy and joviality. The proceeds of this production will also Ik- spent for stage equipment to Ik left as the class memorial. Class Day consisted of an auditorium program for Seniors, distribution of the Annual, and s|H� rts events. The Class of June 1944 will be remembered as the first class to go all the way through Southwest High School. They entered ninth grade as classes from Robert Fulton. Lake Harriet, and St. Thomas. Four years have molded this mixture into a unified and loyal senior group which feels a definite responsibility to their Alma Mater. The following June graduates finished their course in the armed services and their pictures do not appear here: Jack Ghcsncy, William Linnell, George Wold. ♦ ROItER I AHI.NESS. •'That lovc'.y wavy hair.

They spend their time trying to get theatrical jobs and trying to see the producer. Mr. Kenney. who lives downstairs. The plans to get Mr. Kenney to see their play are complicated by the arrival of a friend of one of the girls. She threatens to tell the girl s father that she is living in what could most politely be called an unusual manner. Mr. Kenney is finally induced to come up to sec the play, but finds it very confusing amid the many interruptions. Everything turns out happily though, and the kids get the break they have been waiting for. PLAY CAST George Ilodcll.............................................

Seehesi'L aj the Take your own seats, please, until tlie attendance is taken! These arc the first words that greet us as we enter our home rooms every morning. In addition to the regular announcements, our advisors ask for payments on the annual, the budget, and any sport tickets that may be popular at the moment. Once every two weeks we have a special home room period for the distribution ol the Arrow. For sixteen minutes each morning, five days a week, and four years of high school we continue this experience. On days before special Occasions, such as Christmas and Hallowe’en, we hold festive, seasonal parties for the holidays. Small gilts, and even Christmas trees, adorn our advisories, and holly twigs and Santa Claus pins adorn our advisors. Advisory is really quite a pleasant period of the day. You receive help concerning programs, credits, etc.. from your advisors. It gives you a stopping off place before you plunge into the busy day of classes and hubbub. ■ ■ j!

Sot ihwkm’n basketbai i if.am defeated St. Ix uis Park, Rochester, and Minneapolis Marshall in three of its six pre-season wins. Armed with this record, the Indians entered city competition and toppled Edison and West, hut then South's speed was too much lot them. Following this, Washburn and Marshall scored wins over Southwest. Next it was big Jim McIntyre of the Henry live who defeated the lighting Indians. Southwest, losing a very close game to Central in an overtime, was then beaten by Roosevelt and North, but in the last game of the season, with seconds to go, Forbes sank the winning basket. Led by Jim McGic's brilliant playing along with the steady work of Bob Miller and Ted F’leury, the team made every game a real thriller. Opp. SCHEDULE 25 . Edison . 7 .. West .. 34 .

For ihk second year in a row, Southwest proved to have one of the top swimming teams in the city. I'he team got oil to a good start l v avenging the defeat handed to them by Blake last year. The Indians beat the Brown and White, 51-24. I he next two meets were with South and Roosevelt. Southwest took both of these easily. Then came the meet of the season with Washburn. Although the Millers took this one 39 36, all the events were very close and the final outcome was in doubt all the way. The team was weakened for the rest of the season by the graduation of Bill Mara and Bob Manske in January. Nevertheless, in the next meet Southwest beat Marshall 48 27, and then in the City Meet at the University. Captain Rod Ringbloom led the team to third place by taking the city championship in the 220 free style. At the annual swimming team party given by the mothers of the swimmers, Jim Brooks was elected captain for next year. Opp. 4 SCHEDULE Blake . . S.W. 5 •7 58 39 36 27 ..

It was only the Indians' second year in city league competition, hut the team won two games and came close to winning more. In the first game of the year, the team was beaten by South, 33-0. The lx ys had had very little practice and were not yet in condition. Nevertheless, they held South scoreless during the lirst quarter and really showed that they had spirit. South went on to take the Twin City title. I he following week the Indians proved they really had a good team when they took West into camp to the tune of 18-0. Last year West Ix-at us by one point, although they were outplayed the whole game. The boys were out for blood when they took the field that day, and the score proves that they got what they were after. I his was truly Sou ill west’s most cherished victory. It was in this game that the Miller passing attack was unleashed anew. Hoi) completed 13 out of ifi passes against West. The next week Southwest lost to Edison 20-0, and the following week North upset the team 13-fi. Southwest was leading 6-0 at the end of the first quarter, but North pushed over two touchdowns to win. Southwest and Washburn held a joint homecoming this year. Although Southwest outplayed Washburn during most of the game and had the ball inside the Millers’ five yard line when the final gun went off. Washburn won the game 7-fi. The next week Marshall beat the Indians 19-6. I he last game of the season was by far the most spectacular of the entire season. The Indians went into the last quarter of the game on the short end of a 120 score. They had been slightly outplayed all afternoon and when the game had progressed to the last two minutes with no sign of sudden action, many of the fans were leaving. But the team decided to win this one in spite of their handicap. Starting deep in their own territory, the Indians scored a touchdown by a series of passes by Miller and a run by Fleury. A pass from Miller to McGie gave the Indians their first extra point of the season. With time running short, Southwest kicked oil. held Central to no gain, blocked their fourth down kick, and decided to try to score again. On fourth down, after three incomplete passes, and with two seconds left to play. Miller dropped the hall into fini McGie’s arms for another touchdown. Miller then dropkicked the extra point making the score 14-12 and spoiling the Pioneers’ homecoming. This was a perfect was to end the season. Central still has never lieaten Southwest in football.

Cross Coiintrv was run as a sport in the Minneapolis high schools this fall for the first time in ten years. Southwest was in three meets during this first season. The Indian Harriers met Roosevelt in a trek along the banks of Lake Nokomis. I'he course was a little less than two miles in length. A little snow was falling and an icy wind was blowing to hamper the boys’ progress. In spite of the fact that Wall Wilder and Don Forbes took first and second places, respectively, the Indians bowed to the Teddies in a dose meet. Next came the city meet in which most of the schools participated. The meet was held at Lake Harriet with the Indians as hosts. The Indians, paced by Walt Wilder, won the meet. They were the only team to place five men in the first fifteen. Don Forbes took second place. 1 he slate meet was held on Northrop Field at the University on November sixth. Between the snow and li ving to figure out the course, the Southwestern brought home third place. During the presentation of letters in the auditorium, ballots were passed out among the letter winners, and |ack Thommen was elected captain for 1944. Walt, our Mi| ct Hack man.

The varied lines of activities allow them to take some type of gym other than the regular program. Recreational Leadership gives them an opportunity to learn how to plan parties and lead games. The bowlers get the fundamentals of bowling and scoring. I'he girls in archery make their own equipment— their bows and arrows. These girl archers competed in the National Archery Contest held in May. In the other sports, such as badminton, volley ball, tennis, and baseball, the basic rules lor playing and scoring are taught.

Delegates and presidents from the various schools in the city have joint meetings in order to discuss the many problems which come up during the year. As a service to Southwest, the club collects trays during both lunch periods, and the money is used to meet various expenses.

The purpose of the organization is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. The Hi-Y’s of Southwest have completed another very successful year. Frequently called on for service, the five clubs have been only too willing to cooperate in every way. Last fall the Hi-Y's were called upon to take part in the War Chest drive. Many of the members had a chance to do a little extra by giving talks in the churches of this city in order to further inform the people about the War Chest. Our students did a very good job. This year the Hi-Y resumed home meetings. Occasionally, however, there have been joint meetings of all the chapters. Last fall a Dads' Night was held, and the Sfinx sjtonsorcd Lieutenant King of the United States Navy who had served on the aircraft carrier, Hornet. The Hi-Y’s have also kept up their good record at school. They have again undertaken the cleaning of the lunchroom tables and the sale of War Stamps. Each club takes a turn of two weeks at each job. Both duties have been completed very successfully. The Swax Hi-Y was responsible for one of the most outstanding additions to the community. This spring a new social center, Jump Town, was opened up. It is a dry nite club and has been set up in the field house on Pershing Field. All the Hi-Y’s and girls' clubs of the school put in some time in getting it ready. The clubs have taken turns running jump Town. A girls' club and a Hi-Y go together every week to help run it. LEX HI-Y Fume Row: Ralph Van Dyke. Mr. W. Batson.

JUNIOR RED CROSS Till- Rh Cross has been very active during the past year in aiding the war effort. The Junior Red Cross, a part of the national organization, has done its part to help. It has reached 103% of its home-room quota, which equals Si . This money, ami money made from other affairs, is being used to furnish a recreation room at Fort Snclling. The Junior Red Cross has made tint cups and filled them with candy for men in the hospital. BANKING REPRESENTATIVES It's It tstiAY again! “ Tuesday? What's so ini|K rtant about I uesday? Of course! It’s bank day.” And that morning the banking representative of each advisory has a large job to do. He must collect the savings of each pupil, record the money, and determine the percentage of the room. The money is then taken to Miss S. Holtnberg and her assistants. They check the mono brought in and send no banking notices to rooms that failed to turn in money. RADIO AND SPEECH ARTS Testing—1 2-3-4—testing. Say. you in 212. get the mike plugged in! These are familiar words to those in the Radio Club. All of the students in the Radio and Speech classes, and those who have been in the class before, are members of this Club. The program planned for the year consisted of a series of speakers connected with Radio work. T he Club planned some money-making projects to obtain money for records and sound effects. 5® Se uuce with a Smile CAMERA CLUB “Hold that pose!

Iwcuv Stafjj Planning each semester to buy green eye shades and press cards, the Arrow Staff still carries on in 2ii. Under Mrs. Zitilcinnn's inspecting eye. the work of turning out the greater” Southwest Arrow proceeds. The Arrow. Southwest's newspaper, is published about every three weeks, but it usually isn’t until the second week that the reporters begin to get down to business. This is the week when the harassed editors get a fiery gleam in their eyes because the stories haven't been turned in. The ad copy suddenly expands or shrinks in si e and the editors seldom know how much room they arc going to have or which stories will Ik- cut to ribbons. But it’s a lot of fun! Those who have taken News for a year or so will declare without hesitation that they wouldn’t trade their experiences on the Arrow for any amount of money.
