PIIISIEIEII Tl M7 PUBLISHED BY STUDENT Bgpy 0 F SOUTH DAYTON HTOH SCI-TOOL FUR Wlllill No scolastic year could be as the past one nor could there be another PIONEER such as this. The PIONEER staff has put forth the greatest effort to include in this book all the outstanding features which best illustrate and express the past year. The activities of 1947 have been carried on as a tradition of former years - we participated in extra-curricular activities, many old rivals were visited in basketball and we went to classes to suffer and enjoy ourselves as those before us have done. Putting aside the suffering and strife we have endured, this year has been and always will remain unique in the minds of our graduates. The war being over we leave our Alma Mater to put into effect what our teachers have struggled to teach us, that we may make the world become more democratic and peaceful so that the victory our boys won will not have been in vain. 6 FAUULTY Warner Rundell Miss Grace Peavy W.

Some are relatively new but to others the joint seems familiar. The doors open and in rush an endless stream of bright f?J, eager, promising lone thing or anotherl students with a gleam of anticipation in their eyes. Some no doubt, are thinking of their dear teachers, others are enjoying the scenery which moves up the stairs amid the calls of dogs, cats, chickens, wolves, etc. When the bell rings lockers silently close and the pupils enter their home rooms and take their seats orderly and noiselessly. The first period is spent going from one person to the other seeking the days assignments, otherwise order prevails. But Noi Mr. Wlnship seems to have overslept I imagine he has spent another difficult night studying. His excuse UD is accepted and the room is quiet once more. After a trying morning fa morning striving to get someone's history answersb the lunch hour is at hand. Everyone must report to his home room to prevent Q suspicion of school skipping and to get home in time for dinner. The pupils dismissed wander slowly downstairs toward the cafeteria. CThe casualties among the smaller children are counted at 1:00J School is resumed at 12:35 and the Juniors enter Miss Peavy's domain for higher education in history. Very few of these mortals escape without lt. English is next. If one could observe this class he would be astonished with their conduct. Do they interrupt the teacher? Do they throw chalk, paperwads, erasers, etc. Do they stammer or falter when asked a question concerning the days assignment. No indeed they are the pride and joy of old S. D. After another hour of intense study Qthat is appearing very busy doing nothingl the bells ring for dismissal. They scatter out and with a slight rattle of lockers tearfully depart to return another day.

There is Pa, forever in a stew about something or other, Ma, trying to remain calm and patient despite the many little squabbles that are incident to the average household, Granny, with her understanding ways and quiet humor, Ted, the typical junior college kid, Shirley, just old enough to be aware of her own importance, Mickey, whose efforts to be a detective sometimes have a disastrous effect and Judy, the young lady of the family, who suddenly after a visit to her nouvean rich friend, Doris Stanly-discovers that her family is rather commonplace, Yokels , she called them. She is ashamed of them'before the new boy friend who has driven her home from New York, home of the Sta.nley's. Even Steve Bradford, her small town sweetheart who has always seemed just right, now becomes a country bumpkin. The Irish poice-man who fits into the lot also. CLASS PIIEMS Of the Senior Class I want to tell, Those Boys and Girls you lmow so well, Who in our corridors so roam, Much of the time away from home. Bob Miller, our handsome center, He has a heart that's kind and tender, Someone GIRLS him at his home They'll find to Armes Drug Store, he has Allan Sandy who used to be short, Is pretty good in any sport, He's always working on his math, Except when Ramona's on his path, Betty Chaffln wherever you look, Was working on this year book, Now it is done, we don't hesitate, To say that Betty can graduate. Danny Shongo, I guess that's his name, Of the loud giggle, he is no blame, Maybe it's Stearns or maybe it's Rick, Anyway they've all got the trick. Allan Huff is good at thinking, Of the school rules he is never breaking, Never raises his voice at all, I guess he is afraid the roof might fall. Robert Richter hangs around town, To see if the rest of the gang is around, When he's in school he is quite a pest, But he knows his stuff, when it comes to a Violet Butcher, now what can I say, She leaves school most every day Her excuse is that's she's always sick, Frankly Butch! I think 1t's a trick! Everett Mosher our only blond, Of chickens, horses, and cows is fond, He drives his father's brand new car, roamed test. And heed's his Dad's advice Don't go too far? Frances Rowicki is sure smart, We all think she has a big heart, Room for everyone it is said, Room for Don, Dallas, and Fred. CLASS PIIEM And then we find our little Chet, Many a girl thinks he's her bet, He is a shot who seldom misses, Speaking of basketball, not kisses, Philip Howard is quiet and meek, In a still small voice you hear him speak The Teachers think he's quite all right, For Philip gives them answers bright. Ramona Burris thinks Sandy is all right, When she found him, she held on tight, 1-le gives a had time all of us tmnx, Why can't Allan give her a break? Henry Storm comes from the farm, But none the less he means no harm, And when it comes to the County Fair, As a prize taker I-Iank's right there! Rodney Sager is nice and mild, In fact he is a silent child, Some boys like to talk all day, But Rodney is quite the other way! Now it's Helen Howard's turn, Many a lad her heart does yearn, And she is quite busy all the time, Traveling on the Westridge line! Though Earl Congdon lives far away, And misses school full many a dayg Our Senior events will find him there, Ready at all times to do his share. Bob Stearns is quite a lad, At tumbling stunts he's not so bad, But when it comes to getting marksg ' Bob rather wander through the parks, This tells the story of them all, Big and little, short, and tall, The '47 Senior Class, We hope that everyone will pass.

Mrs. Lyle R. Dye My very best wishes to the Class of '4'7. As you are busy with plans of a trip I think of one we took on a ship. We were the Class of nineteen hundred and thirty five, Twenty two in number and very much alive. A bus ride to Buffalog all our clothes were new To Detroit we went on the lake so blue We had a fine tlmeg our behavior the best, Perhaps our chaperons should tell you the rest.

There are twenty-five members We have regular meetings once a month, The aims of the 'Hee' club are: To improve ourselves socially and mentally. To improve the homemaking department. To accomplish our aims at each meeting we have a theme and a program rested around the theme. For example, the theme ontFashions, a fashion show was developed showing the group what a high school girl should wear at several different occasions, and what they should wear according to their statue. ' Besides the serious side of it, we have the Club just to have fun. For this year we planned to have a sleigh ride but the weather man wasn't very co-operative. We did have a roller skating party and of course after the regular meetings we have food and games. This year the 'Hee' Club purchased a maple chair and a lamp shade for the department. The money for them was raised by our a.nnual Hee Club dance. if 3 -.

The duties of this organization are varied. Besides purchasing equipment such as suits, balls, and hundreds of smaller items, it determines and enforces the various policies of the athletic department. It is the final judgement on who should receive letters in Basketball, Baseball, and Cheer-leading. Financially it takes care of the whole athletic program including cheer-leading. This association is indebted and is grateful for the senior classes of '45, '46, and '47 for their financial aid in securing the new electric scoreboard.

The Student Council of South Dayton High School was founded in the fall of 1944. Since this time it has brought the student body and faculty much closer together. The student body yearly elects the Vice President for this organization. He or she must be a junior in high school. The Vice President automatically becomes President the following year. 'Iwo members are chosen from each of the four classes in high school. These members elect a Secretary and Treasurer from the council. The duties of the council are, to let students express themselves in school matters concerning the student body, to bring understanding between student body and faculty, to keep the school clean and orderly, to post bulletin boards monthly, set a temporary schedule for class parties and activities, and to take up minor matters concerning the school. This year a Constitution is being written. We hope this will help the Council ln the future. First Row---Helen Howard, Robert Miller, Betty B.

I ' w S i i South Dayton basketeers had to go through a tough schedule with the handicap of little heighth on their starting team. However, Coach Wlnifred KNellyl Nelson groomed his boys on the finest of ball handling. The 'Shorties' went through the regular season with a won loss re- cord of 116-25. The two beaten being administered by Dunkirk Voca- tional and Frewsburg High. Then came the Memorial night of March 6 where our boasters went down to defeat at the hands of Sherman in the Class C Chautauqua County playoffs. There is still little doubt in South 'Dayton however, that if their boys had kept in shape and took it easy the day of the game that we would have been victoriousg for the second straight year and would have gone on to winethe Section 6 champion- ship as the team of a year ago did. Members of starting five were: Chester Szymanski,f, Robert Mi11er,c, Allan Sa.ndy,f, Don Winship,g, and Dan Shongo,g. S.D.H.S. is looking forward to another good year next season.

They are elected by the vote of the Athletic Association. When a cheerleader is chosen she re mains a cheerleader until she graduates. The history of cheerleading in South Dayton took place in 1939. Before this the only girl sport was girls basketball. We have always had good, smart looking cheerleaders in the past and the cheerleaders of '47 are doing their best to keep up this good work. We think our best cheer, in which we get the most co-operation, is the LOCOMOTIVE.

With this line-up we hope to have a better season than last year. NO0N IIIIUR INTRAMUIIAL Our intramurals are divided into three phases: fall, winter, and spring. The fall program began in the opening week of school and consisted of round robin schedules for both boys and girls in soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball, touch-football extra for the boys. The Seniors with Sandy, Miller, and Szymanski and company made a clean sweep while the best the Senior girls could do was to win the basketball and Joyce Howard's Sophomores winning the rest. With the winter program well under way, we find the Iunior Class trailing the Seniors by a very few points, however, it is too early to determine as the winners of the singles, doubles, and mixed tournament in ping pong foul shooting, badminton, and shuffle board have not been declared. The short spring season will consist of softball and baseball. Individual awards will be given to the winners in the various tournament and engraved trophy to the class with the most points, r1:'.A'rua:s 4pi1 That's Love Doopey Juniors The great Poet Sophomore Picnic - 45 Three Musteers 9.
