Purple Parliament The responsibilities and duties of a good of- ficer and member, program planning and prob- lem solving were some of the topics discussed at South's first leadership conference, Purple Parliament. Mr. Small, a teacher from North, opened the meeting on January 3 with a talk on the equality of mankind. Following the dis- cussion groups and refreshments, the Rebels again assembled in the auditorium where they heard Mr. Earl Reum give his Group Dynamics talk. Due to the success of the first Purple Parliament, Student Council hopes to make an annual leadership conference traditional at South. Mr. Reum shocks observers with his demonstration. Cupid's Beau A variety of corsages ranging from cereal boxes to dollar bills provided an unusual theme as each girl invited her favorite to Junior Red Cross' annual Cupid's Beau on January 16, and furnished him- with her own original decora- tion. Although this dance was usually given jointly with Thomas Jefferson, this year each school went its separate way and held the dance in its own gym. Wayne Case and his band furnished the music as the Valentine setting was carried out by decorations of red, pink and white. Many parties were held after the dance and all participants were in genuine agreement that Cupid's Beau was one of the unique and unusual dances at South this year. A box top and stale candy adorn Steve Mills 'at Cupid's Beau.

Operation migo Kind Luau Mystery and intrigue were the setting for the nights of January 'IO and 12 as Senior Drama presented its second production of the year, Kind Lady. Cecily Morgan, portraying Mary Harries, an elderly woman trapped in her own home by deceiving strangers, brought chills to the spines of the audience as she became her unwelcome guests' helpless victim. Exhibiting ob- vious talent and a great deal of poise, the cast presented one of their most noteworthy and stimulating productions ofthe year. Big Otis, give me a prayer, pleads Cecily Morgan. Spanish-English dictionaries were a common sight throughout the school during the last weeks of November as South played host to five stu- dents from Ecuador. Greeted at the airport by a rousing rally consisting of the South High band and cheering Rebels the Amigos were whisked away into a full two weeks of excitement and adventure. At South the welcome visitors ex- changed ideas with their interested hosts and obesrved classes. Introduced to the entire stu- dent body at an afternoon pep rally, the Amigos later attended an equally 'Fitting farewell as- sembly, given by the Seniors, on their last day at South. The Amigos left South High School, taking with them the mementos presented to them at the Senior assembly and leaving behind new ideas and a greater understanding of South American neighbors. Dr. Anderson bids farewell to the Ecuadorian Amigos.
