FOREWGRD CTOBER had rolled ,round again. School was going full tilt. Are we going to have an ANNUAL P was the question on everybody's lips, for, during the lean years, South had not pub- lished a yearbook. Now that the world was looking brighter, however, the old spirit began to revive. South was ready to stand shoulder to shoulder again in an effort to build an ANNUAL. By November the staff was meeting day after day in its new quarters in Room IO3. Every eighth hour the faithful gathered there, artists to cut and paste, typists to get their assignments, editors to confer with advisers, and advisers to consult with print- ers and engravers. Tongues buzzed, pens scraped, scissors clicked as the literary and art staffs evolved their plans. Gradually there accumulated senior pictures, faculty photographs, piles of manuscript, and printerls galleys. The ANNUAL was under way. On a day in April, seniors listened attentively to the old battle cry, Hello, folks V, followed by, The subscription drive for the ANNUAL starts today. Then there were songs, jingles, and promising displays. Wide-eyed freshmen listened to the tradition of other years, while seniors spoke of the great day ahead when an- other ANNUAL should make its appearance. Even teachers paused to comment with enthusiasm on the prospect of a yearbook. Everyone caught the contagion, and South went over the top with seventeen hundred subscriptions. At last, in June, came the big moment. Tt's here ! The word spread like wildfire. A squad of huskies was ordered to roll up its sleeves and lug in the bulky packages of books. In the afternoon the January graduates came back to exchange experiences and autographs. General satisfaction reigned, for the ANNUAL was a reality once more.
