That new hope is the establishment of a just and lasting peace among all the nations of the world. To reach this desirable goal, there must be, above all, understanding and good will among all peoples. International Olympic meets, world travel, and a reciprocal system ot exchange of pupils and teachers among countries-all will help to accomplish this great task. But, unless we have the sincere coop- eration of everyone, these ideas will be of little value. The political and eco- nomic situation is highly complicated, and must take more time and work. Con- ferences are held, meetings called, and even lectures are given so that all possible ideas may be secured with which to make suitable plans for a new world: a new world-for patching up the old world will not do-free from all the hatred, intolerance, prejudice, and greed, that brings on wars: a world free from the unnecessary poverty which exists today: a world built upon democratic ideals-with liberty and lustice for all. .

The Qriole lllustrators are a group ot young, talented artists, who have the duty and privilege ot illustrating the yearbook. This year under the very capable direction ot a new sponsor, Mr. l. Lee Peters, and against numerous discouraging obstacles, thoy have completed what is probably one ot the finest bits ot work ever to leave 213. Only after long tedious hours of thought- tul planning and countless re-sketching did this comparatively small group consider its work complete. Particular attention should be paid the clever, three dimensional designed cover, the expert work ot the club's president and leading artist, Robert Kubiak. Credit tor the imaginative and attractive cuts that grace the pages ot the book goes to George Garbus and Robert Kubiak. The creators ot the witty and hu- morous cartoons are Rudolph Stolar, Elmer Miller, and Robert Kubiak. The group is likewise responsible tor the neat arrangement ot the composite pages. Therefore to you, the lllustrators, and to you, Mr. Peters, tor your tireless ettorts and excellent accomplishments, we the graduating class express our sincere thanks and congratulations tor a task well done! 9 DMLINUSEFLQZAYLFHCQD Q W X Yf.F,9 xxX:,j X My xg-, J l Zmx MN' I IQ' pf 1' lx Vi f' 41 wc! 9 .Bo-is X fi' . I TO THE MEMBERS OF THE IAN- UARY AND IUNE CLASSES OF 1945: lt is a real pleasure at any time to congratulate some one who has achieved success in reaching a worthwhile objective. However, when l consider the tremendous historical significance of the e- vents which have already trans- pired in this year, nineteen hun- dred forty-five, and realize the un- usual nature of the years compris- ing your secondary school lives, l am of the opinion that perhaps you deserve a bit more in the way of congratulations than is usually meted out at graduation , time. l No classes which have preced- ed yours have ever faced such a MR. STERLING steady barrage of war time activ- ities in addition to their normally required assignments. Wliile it may he true that former classes would have acquitted them- selves as well as you have done, this in no way detracts from the many things you have actually accomplished. For these splendid achievements l sincerely congratulate you. Now, what about the future? Well, two roads seem to beckon me as l project my think- ing inlo that vast unknown and l believe they will peckon each of you, too. The one road seems to lead in the direction of aloofness from affairs, both domestic and foreign: in the di- rection of cvomplacencyy in the direction of nation-wide philanthrOI3YJ and in the direction of negalive goals, the realization of which would seem to be like patching that which might well he in need of replacement. The other road leads up-grade, to be sure, but it is defi- nitely pointed toward the great ideals of the ages and particularly toward the fundamental unfinished husiness of American democracy. Would you not prefer to travel the second road and at least help to perfect the demo- cratic structure which though imperfect as mankind itself, seems to hold forth a helping hand to more people than any other social order now extant. I sincerely believe you would, and the hope that you will succeed in your efforts as no other generation before you has done makes our parting a hit less poignant than might otherwise he. Witli very host wishes for lives of real service, l remain Very sincerely yours, Chester L. Sterling Principal 10 L H -.-QM: in if f',f.f A ft :L r , I OF THE GRADUATING CLASS 1945 ' At the time this is being Written CApril, 19457 we are looking forward to an announcement of the end of the war in Europe. This time last year we were looking tor- ward to the invasion of Europe by our armies. Iust think what has been accomplished in less than a year by our armed forces. However, let us not forget the massive planning and preparation that took two to three years to prepare for these great and decisive events. Your training has taken three years in the Iunior High School and three in the Senior High School in the Vocational, commercial, or academic fields. Now it is time for your lnvasion of the working adult world. Your preparation is just starting. But like the gains of our armed forces in the past year, your gains in the next few years will be positive, will be measurable, and will be compensated to the extent of your preparation and skill. lust as the training of our armed forces did not stop with the invasion, so your training must not stop. New goals await you but in all cases your training for those goals must be positive and complete. The changes in our economic world in the year to come may be even greater and more astounding than our military advances in the past year. Our way of life may in reality be at stakeg what we do as individuals and as a nation in the coming year may easily determine our way of life for years to come. Our task is not easy: we must not relax, we must keep studying, keep informed, and be alert to hold Liberty and Iustice for ourselves and assist other nations in attaining these rights. MR. BURNS Vice-Principal E. G. Burns This eighth class to graduate from South High School since Pearl Harbor has dedicated its yearbook to those boys from South High who have made the supreme sac- rifice. These heroes of World War ll died on the fighting front defending that country they loved so well. Many of our soldiers will return with disabilities that they will carry to their graves. America must no forget these veterans in the post war era for they have made sacrifices that cannot be recompensed. All heroes in this war are not on the fighting front. t This front could not exist without those of the Armed Forc- es who are behind the lines. Likewise, this fighting front, could not survive without the men and women who are doing their part on the home front. You, the graduates of the class of Iune, 1945, must become an integral part of this war and post war era. The problem that confronts you today is on which front you will serve your country so that the United States of Amer- ica will continue as a nation that will aid in guiding the destiny of the world. You, as graduates, could very well be guided by the American Day Pledge of l945 which reads: We do hereby dedicate ourselves to uphold the ideals of freedom and equality. We do hereby dedicate ourselves to help har- monize the differences of race, region, religion, and nationality. We do hereby dedicate ouselves to strive for a nation united in the promotion of justice, human- l i Mn. Moons Vocational Counselor but throughout the world. -Iohn H. Moore. .

The new adventures it will hold promise excite- ment and pleasure. This anticipation will be fulfilled in good measure but there may be difficulties and hazards, uncertainties and doubts as in all adventurous living. The well balanced in mind, are the courageous in heart who can overcome most handicaps. As you progress from one stage to another, take with you my best wishes for successful accomplishment and happiness in the striv- ing for the worthy objects of your desire. Y Elizabeth A. McCarthy Miss McCarthy Girls' Adviser Your high school days are overl No doubt for many months you have looked forward to the time when you would be freed from the restraints and mo- notonous routine of the classroom. Now you are free! But as you step from the portals of South High to schools of higher learning cr into your life work, new doors of opportunity and responsibility open before you. In these tragic days of the Second World War the peoples of the world are clamoring for liberation and freedom. The Four Freedoms have been set forth as the ideal for all mankind, and the nations are met in a security conference that this end may be attained. The way is difficult and preplexing, beset with many trials and discouragements. Progress, however, is being made, and more and more it is being realized that the fundamentals of security and freedom are truth and righteousness sright living. What will be your contribution to this worthwhile l Mr. MacDonald goal? The Master Teacher tells his followers, Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. This does not mean mere veracity: that is only one of the elements. The love of truth is the love of realitiessthe determination to rest upon facts. There is a tendency in the masses always to think, not what is true, but what is respectable, correct: is it approved by those with whom we are closely associated? There have been men of whom it was true that is was easier to turn the sun from its course than them from the paths of honor. As you now stand, poised on the threshold of opportunity, may you determine to fol- low in the footsteps of such men as these rather than drift with the multitude: to seek truth and pursue it, and thus find the greatest freedom through perfect bondage to truth and righteousness.

Commencement, Class Day, and hosts of other activities are due to their untiring efforts to bring us memo- ries in years to come. 'With their Wonderful knack of making things come right, their trust in us, and the helping hand they've lent us, we wonder how we could have done without them.

After seven years of attempting to hold a prom, we are very proud that this goal has finally been reached, and that it proved to be so successful. ' ALL ABOUT US ' ' IN Oli BIG SCOOP Back in February 1941, one hundred cmd thirty one freshman came bub- bling into South High School. We were divided into four classes. A hundred and thirty one have dwindled to forty one. How did this happen? Blame the laps! ln February of 1943 the classes became two. This was bad enough, but in February of 1944 the two classes became one. Miss McWilliams l2B's glar- ed at Miss Thomases's l2B's, and Miss Thomases's l2B's felt very superior. Soon the amalgamation took place and We were a unified 12B class of 47. Smug and complacent during the summer, we received another shock in the fall: Uncle Sam had further depleted our fqnkswwe were now 36. In order to maintain a 12A class Mr. Sterling had to recruit l2B's who desired to ac- celerate their course. Of course the superior l2A's did not relish this idea, but soon we were again a solid unit demanding the rights of l2A's. In September of 1944 we were 43 strong, and by November, 41. Commencement night we were 43 in number. Norman Simpson and Mil- ton Feder, our two sailors, were fortunate enough to be with us. Four boys from Vocational augmented our numbers, so upon the stage Commencement night we were actually 47. Seven boys in service were graduated--the diplo- mas were given by proxy. ' Worthy of special attention at this, our commencement time, is the fact that South Vocational High School will have a fifth birthday February 5th. South and South Vocational High Schools Plant represents the first compre- hensive high school in the City of Pittsburgh. Under this scheme of education boys and girls of every inclination are given opportunity to express themselves in the fields in which they are most vitally interested. On February 5, 1940, South Vocational High School was officially opened to accommodate boys who were interested in Vocational Education. The first shop courses to be offered were Auto Shop, Machine Shop, Weld- ing, Wood Shop, and Electric Wiring. In September of 1940 the Electric Power and Maintenance Shops the Advanced Machine Shop were opened. In Iuly 1940 the National Defense Training Program was opened under Mr. Sterling's direction and classes were conducted for adults under the auspi- ces of the Government. There are still two of these classes in session, Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Sheet Metal Shops. A program for Cooperative Part Time apprentice jobs for boys who quali- fy by merit of their record in shop work and in academic and .related work as well. These boys are sent to various industrial plants in the city to work at their trades. They spend two weeks on the'job and two weeks at school. At the present time there are 24 Cooperative Part Time apprentices. South Vocational has done much to further the war effort. In addition to training boys to take their places in vital industries, we were assigned the job of making the templates for model airplanes which the armed forces used in spotter courses all over the country. South Vocational joined other 'schools in filling the order for 50,000 such planes. Our boys have gone into all branches of the service and our honor roll now exceeds 300 names. In the post war era South Vocational High School will continue to serve the community by training boys in the various fields of industry which will be so vital in the rebuildingvof these luxuries and necessities for which the United States is famous.

The February Class of 1945 can be praised for having pre- sented such a splendid play with due recognition to Miss Margaret Baker for her outstanding directing. The second act of the play was staged fifty years before the preceeding act, the scene taking place in a flower bedecked garden enclosed by hedges. This and the old-fashioned costumes ot the players made the scene unique and picturesque.

FEBRUARY FROLIC 2 fq if 'SL 26 3 CLASS PROPHECY OF THE FEBRUARY '45 CLASS Before this day, not even my worst enemy could call me superstitious. But from now on, I shall shriek at the sight of a black cat, hide myself in the cupboard on Friday the 13th, and regard a broken mirror as my death knell. Why the sudden change? Why yesterday, despite all the warnings of my friends, I confidently walked under a ladder. The inevitable happenedl A big bucket of scarlet paint fell on my poor unprotected head. They told me later that I lay there completely unconscious for fifteen minutes, oblivious to the crowds, oblivious to the shouting, and with a, contented look. All that I remember is that I surprisingly found myself in a little night club, called the Silver Sails Inn , which was located on the corner of Anchor Weigh. I never saw this place before, and yet it looked familiar. In fact, the people looked familiar. A waiter, who I was surprised to find was Richard Gutowski, a few years older, handed me a menu on which were the names of the proprietors-Norman Simpson and Milton Feder. As I gazed around the room I saw more waitresses and waiters, all'oI whom I recognized as Dorothy Rock, Dan Stephanovich, Mary Krestian, Betty Malley, Nicholas Vukela, and Ioseph Milinski. ' ' lust as I was recovering from my shock, a blare of bugles and drums fo- cused my attention on the stage-where I saw Joseph Bieranowski, dressed in tails, raising his baton on the title aria from the latest Topich-Hoard hit, The Flight of the Oriole. I looked again, and, much to my amazement, I found that every girl in the All Female Orchestra was a classmate of mine from South High School. They were none other than Mary Lou I-Iitz, Mary Ann A fanfare was heard, and out stepped the charming and alluring Loretta Luppe and the suave Ioseph Settelmaier, popular singing team, who were then filling an engagement at the Inn after their successful tour of the Latin Amer- icas. Assisting them in the accompaniments was none other than that inimi- table master of the movies, Vladimir Gachinovich. The music stopped, the crowd was hushed, and as a bolt from the blue entered Gusto the Great, otherwise known to me as Bill Koch, whose unlikely feats of magic concluded the eveningfs performance. The next feature for the evening was the Spotlight Pick-Ups, a procedure of presenting the distinguished guests of the evening. Seated about the first table, in shimmering gowns of red, white, and blue were those three wander- ing archeologists of the Wattsisrock Society --Elizabeth Yankus, Dorothy Schreiner, and Bessie Haddock. With them discussing foreign relations, were Nicholas Klaich-Professor of Modern Languages, and Iohn Sobol-supervi- sor of the Kish School of Aeronautics. At the next table I beheld those talented artists-Rosalia Motil, dress de- signer for the famous Mikita Finishing School for Girls -and those stage and screen personalities, together again, francis Malik and Henry Chmielewski. At my right around a large table, was seated Demetri Kraniak, director and composer of the Victory Variety Show. With him were the stars of the show -Stella Saladiak, Iune Casella, Rose Torbich, Rose Kiselica, and Iosephine Schiavo. The dancing instructor, Laura Grimes, was also with them. In a far corner I beheld those two athletic coaches of I-lohman College, Milton Kosanovich and Edward Guzik. In their company was the Supervisor of Reed Hospital, Miss Dolores Morgan. Last, but not least, the spotlight stop- ped at a table marked Reserved, around which were being seated Beatrice McCall, President of the McCall Banking Institute: Nick Karlo, the Teller: Fannie Beynon, Vice-President: and Chester Bakowski, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Iust as all good things must come to an end, so had my short visit to Sil- ver Sails Inn come when I was handed my check by Dorothy Slanovich. Why the end? Because the check was of such an exorbitant amount that it helped me to regain my consciousness.

As freshmen, young and shy, With our hopes built high and strong, We felt the days went crawling by, But now we know we were wrong. For soon as sophomores, one year old, We had come thru the first step with success With courage true and bold, And 'a heart full of joy and happiness. We worked 'till another year passed When Iunior became our namej And then and there friendships sealed-fast, For our trials and joys were the same. Senior Year just seemed to fly by, Like busy bees we had much to do With pictures and name cards to buy, Our days were too, too few. At last the day of days came It was time for us to depart From our loved school, which will remain Always 'way down deep in our hearts.

Everything in America was touched by this tragedy, including South High School. However, because of the sweetness of the celestial light which throws its radiance on youth, we were unmarred by the ugliness and horrors of war. As Freshmen, this graduating class passed through a year of hard work and enjoyment of the trivolities which are the birthright of Youth. Because we were South High students, we knew that hard work was the keynote of success. lust as America and the world had plunged into war, we delved into the work befitting any high school student. Combining resourcefulness, ingenuity, and plain hard work, we made the final grade. As a result, in 1942, We became Sophomores of the school we shall always love. As Sophomores, our out-look on the problems and sufferings of a world at war was keyed to a new pitch. Through the study of World History and intelligent reading, we gained a new understanding of living even in its amaz- ingly chaotic state. But, even as each day slipped away, swiftly, breathtak- ingly, the wondrous optimism of Youth still shone through and cast a light of hope on an almost beaten world. Days in summer of swimming and picnic, plays and parties and days in the park were still important factors in the lives of us, South High Sophomores. The year 1944, rushed in with unbelievable swiftness. As Iuniors, the strange, sweet sadness of graduation time was drawing closer and striking deeper into the hearts of this graduating class. Events of world-shaking im- portance were taking place in Cairo and later in Teheran. Rapidly the days of our high school life were coming to a close. A summer of high hopes and expectation passed uneventfully and we returned to South High School,-- Seniors. There seemed to have been more work, planning, and study crammed compactly into this one brief year than in all the years we had spent here at South. The celestial light was growing more dim with each passing day and the realization of the fact that the world, this beautiful world, was being torn and shattered by bombs: and the cruel, vicious' machinery of 'war was, upon us. War-bond rallies and campaigns were carried on with vigor and unceasing energy, for we of South were trying very hard to help end this curse on man- kind,-this curse of War. Our Senior year at South has closed almost as our Freshman year began with tragedy striking the very souls of men. We lost our leader and Comman- der-in-Chief, when the light of hope and victory seemed at the gates of freedom and eternal peace. But, just as we weathered the blow of Pearl Harbor, we came through the endless agony with Blood, Sweat, and Tears. ' As alumni of our beloved South High School,--we leave ybu. Some of us will join the ranks of our fighting men, others will seek higher education and still others will obtain positions requiring every bit of courage and loyalty we can muster to bring our country, our world, out of the blackness of the night into the light of a new-born day! linens. I . ' a..-rf' .1 lr r 1 - 4 + W it YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU You Can't Take lt With You, the sensational three-act comedy hit of stage and screen, was selected by Miss Margaret Baker for the Iune '45 Class Play. The production proved to be as great a success at South High School as it had been on Broadway. Two performances were given, one a matinee on May 16, and the other the following evening. All who saw the play agreed that the director and cast had achieved the professional touch often sought after, but seldom found in amateur productions. The play is the heart-warming story of the Sycamore family. Grandpa Vanderhof, portrayed by Robert Kubiak, believes that everyone should do as he pleases. The result is that although the Sycamores lead exceptionally hap- py lives, they seem extravagantly mad to the rest of the world. ln contrast to these delightful people, you see the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how To- ny, Arnold Wilczynslci, attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore, Emily Bittner, but finds the course of true love is upset by the great difference between the two families. ln the end Mr. Kirby, Robert Sto- janovich, at least, is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores, who have attached to their household a strange group of people.

The idea ot having a third lunch period was first suggested at this time. lt was not inaugurated until the second Student Council semester. lt was attempted to obtain a new diving board for the schools swimming poolg due to the shortage of men and material the matter will have to wait until the war is entirely completed. A group of South High representatives with a petition concerning the use oi the Market House went to see Mayor Scully. Although we were not granted the use of the Market House tor practice purposes, we did get the right to charge admission for all to see the games. We consider many of the unsatisfactory problems to have been eliminated by the whole-hearted cooperation ot all members ot the Student Crgciniucation.

The Student Council is again coming to the close of another successful semester. Under the leadership of its active officers and with the cooperation of the representatives from the various report rooms, the Student Council has been able to accomplish many things. Under the supervision of the Student Council, we have seen the lunchroom change from a dirty and messy eating place to a clean and sanitary one. Due to action taken by the council, hedges have been planted in the school yard, and they have done much to improve the appearance of the school. Since there was a feeling that V.E-Day would come during the semester, the council prepared a program fitting for the occasion and it was a very suc- cessful and inspiring one. The Student Council helped in the raising of funds for the football training camp by sponsoring the Swing Band Program, which netted more than 95l5O for the fund. And so, in the closing of another semester the Student Council wishes to thank each of you for your fine and whole hearted assistance.

So, on Ianuary 5th we saw a high school girl and boy making tracks toward the gym where the winter scene was dupli- cated even to a snow man, all in readiness for the gala event. There were many innovations featured at the dance, among them the colorful crowning of the Snow King and Queen, the best dancers of the even- ing. And when the dancers found themselves resting between dances, there was a long table of refreshments set for their enjoyment and ably served by a committee of four boys. South Vocational thoroughly enjoyed preparing for this event and antic- ipates holding an annual Snow Ball each Ianuary. So you may look forward to another sparkling event next semester.

An elaborate program was announced by the Mistress and Master of Ceremonies, Senorita Dorothy Mervosh and Senor Robert Bialecki. Senorita Anna Kosanovich danced to a Latin tune, and Senor Andrew Swoon Sak- mar sang while Senorita Rita Krantz delightfully interpreted his song with a dance. Senor Daniel Sember and Senorita Anna Mae Guides did a wonder- ful tango. ' To the strains ot Il You Are But A Dream, the King and Queen danced around the ballroom while their subjects curtisied and bowed. Then dancing took place, with a hilarious La Conga played by Qscar Qschenhirt.

Under the supervision of Miss Borelli, the cheer leaders blossomed forth in the full glory of white, black, and orange. Further- more, gireal cheers of a new variety were heard. South was outclassed before they ejren entered the field. The team was made up of young and inexperi- enced players who were out-classed against every opposition it had met. The team was centered around a few holdovers from last year. The Oriole operat- ed their offensive powers from the modern T-formation which proved to give a little more action to the game. The year's most valuable player award was given to Ioseph Doerr who is now serving in the Armed Forces. Here is a resume of the games: South--0 St. George-27 Under the leadership of Mr. Cue, South opened up the 1944 season against the St. George eleven. The score was 27-O in favor of the Dragons, but the score was disqualified for illegal use of players. South-6 Schenley-28 South's home games for the 1944 Season were played at Phillip's Park in Carrick. Here they met Schenley for their first league game. Schenley came out on top by a score of 28-6. . South-9 Alldei-dice-26 . ' The game was played at Allderdice. Our boys went out with the hope of their first victory, but the game ended in favor of Allderdice by a score of 26-9. Much improvement was shown in our tearn's playing ability. South-0 Peabody-25 The Orioles were hosts to the Highlanders at Phillip's Park, and were trounced 25-O by a group of good ball players. South-0 South Hills-7 The Orange and Black traveled to the Tunnelties, only to be defeated by a score of 7-O. Our boys showed defensive and offensive strength in the down pour of rain. South-0 Shady Side-53 Q This was a non league game played at Shady Side. Here our boys met the toughest opposition of the season. The final outcome was 53-O. A South-6 Westinghousef19 The final game of the 1944 Season found South host to the Silver Lakers at Phillip's Park. The Cuemen were impressive in the game with the city champs although the score was 19-6 with Westinghouse on top. lim ah...-I-:ik .85 'i5f?'i7i i T 1944-45 BASKETBALL TEAM FIRST ROW Iosepli Ptilfiy, Ioiin Ptiptiqa, Richard Ciitowski, Abbie Bishop, Clarenve Sliermaii, Milton Kosanovivli.

First Half South 35-St. Casimir 38 ' In order to prepare themselves for the coming campaign, the Orioles took on the St. Casimir quintet in a non-league game. This game proved fruitless, as the powerful St. Casimir quintet, although outplayed for three quarters of the game, defeated the Oriole by a score of 38 to 35. - South 33-Peabody 29 In their opening league game the South quintet defeated Peabody by a score of 33 to 29. The last two periods illustrated a game of tug-of-war, with South emerging as the victor. South 44-Washington Vocational 20 South High, in a strong bid for Section I leadership in basketball, captured its second successive league triumph by conquering Washington Vocational to the tune of 44120. Coach Warren Cue substituted freely after the Orioles had gained a substantial lead which was never headed. South 43-Alderdice 53 The Orioles lost their first league game to Allderdice after a bitter struggle. Although the Cuemen made a gallant bid for a lead in the second half, they were unable to match the playing of the towering Allderdice quintet. South 30-Connelley 25 Once again the Cuemen began to make a bid for Section honors by de- feating a strong Connelley team. ln the third and fourth quarter the swift mov- ing Oriole quintet fought desperately to keep their narrow lead and succeeded. South 23-Fifth Avenue 28 Due to a high spirited Fifth Avenue quintet the Orioles came out on the short end of a 28 to 23 score. Although the Cuemen put up a great fight to the very last minute of the game they were unable to topple the Fifth Avenue team. 66 , In their clash .on the Oakland floor, the South: floorrnan handed a decisive defeat to the score of 35 to 29. A fighting Schenley five managed to hold a slight lead over the Cuemen throughout the firstrhalf, but in the second half the Orioles marked up a comfortable lead and kept it. , . South 24-Westinghouse 35 The South High floormen dropped their final game of the first half to a powerful Westinghouse five. A score of Zl to 10 at the halfway mark found the Orioles well behind their visitors. Although they put up a gallant fight they were unable to overcome the Westinghouse five. ' Second Half South 32-Peabody 41 - In the first game of the second half of the season South played on the Highlanders' floor. -The Cuemen played a marvelous first quarter, but in the second quarter they lacked some of the cooperation with which they started, and dropped far behind. ln the second half the Orioles returned with a spirit that was hard to overcome, but were still unable to Win. . South 38-Washington Vocational 29 The Oriole capped their first victory of the second half by defeating Wash- ington Vocational on the Market House floor. A new first string of South floor- men gained an early lead which the Vocational lads never seriously threat- ened. South 47-Allderdice 34 The Orange and Black gained their second straight victory by a surprise win over the Allderdice five. Sparked by the playing of Mielnicki and Bishop, the Cuemen were able to gain an early lead and keep it all through the game. South 41-Connelley 42 South quintet dropped a tight game to the Connelley floormen to the score of 42-41. The lead changed back and forth several times during the game. The final whistle found a gallant Orange and Black five trailing. South 25-Fifth Avenue '27 ln their clash on the Avenue floor, the South High Orioles were handed a heartbreaking defeat by the Fifth Avenue lads with the score of 27-25. Fifth managed to gain a definite lead over the Cuemen throughout the first half. The Orange and Black quintet came back fighting hard in the second half. De- spite their swift pace, they were unable to top the score of the Avenue team. South 32-Schenley I4 f In their final home game of the season the Orioles trampled a weak Schenley five. The South High floormen staged a trackmen's field day, out- maneuvering, outpassing, and out scoring the Black and Red team. South 33-Westinghouse 44 The South High floormen lost their final game of the season to a swift passing Westinghouse quintet. The Blue and Gold team showed excellent ball handling from the initial jump to the final whistle. 'The Cuemen fought gal- lantly and desperately to gain a lead, but lacked the necessary punch. .1 GIRLS' SPORTS SENIOR LEADERS SWIMMING TEAM VOLLEY BALL TEAM BASKETBALL TEAM 68 if i' 'i!'J'f rn. 2-3 .it K' ii 1 I ' n. .52 J .rw -Qs..

In turn, an athlete may be defined as one trained to contend in exercises requiring phys- ical agility and strength. Here, at South High School, activities are carried on in which the majority of the girls may participate. ' I - The field of sports is open to all who' have the interest,'as well as the abil-, ity, to participate. In order to arouse a greater interest, various classes have competition with members of other classes. Elimination is brought about by the losing of three games. This is continued until two teams remain, and then the championship is given to the team having the most wins. I ' I Contests are carried on in such activities as basket-ball, volley-ball, dodge-bat ball, paddle tennis, mush-ball, and swirrfming. In swimming, the team scoring the most points is considered the class champion. I In all probability the l2A's will be the champions in volley-ball and basl ket-ball: the l1A's will take the championship in swimming: the 12B's will take the mush-ball championship, and the Dodge-bat ball championship will be taken by the 10th graders. Letter awards,are presented to girls receiving the required number of points, 150. These points are obtained by partaking in the various activities. 1 E ei: -1- X ., JZ? 7 ,I I X JOE Q fx, SEW AER A . 12 fe:a::':e:?fs!
