Working for the general Welfare is the essence of all true education, and as a preparation in the art of living we hope each graduate has developed at our Alma Mater a Wholesome personality, a desire for knowledge, moral discrimination, sincerity, a sympathetic love of his fellowmen, an appreciation of our great country, America, and good sportsmanship. In other words, a type of education that builds a life that counts- the kind of life that aims to rise, that hates the wrong and loves the right, that stands for the truth, that can make melody in the darkest night. Many of our predecessors have set a pattern which we may well follow. South High and South Vocational High School graduates have disclosed many talents and much ambi- tion,-a group of people in whom we are all well pleased,-a group of people ex- emplyfying true education. Only in the light of universal education lies the hopes of a democratic future. 6

Onr Fiftieth Anniqversory This issue of the ORIOLE is dedicated to those who have been students of South High during the fifty years sinoe the founding of our School. Established in 1898, it has a link to the nineteenth century, but predominately it is of the twentieth,-of the modern era. Essentially its outlook is forward, not backward. Its sons and its daughters are of the life blood of the community today. Its sturdy growth has come out of the strength of America, out of the basic values which have attracted liberty-loving peo- ples from all over the world. Within its walls, in daily undramatic, steady fashion have been lived the ideals of our land of human dignity as ex- pressed in the Declaration of Independence: All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among theseibeing life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. It is in the application of these lofty aspirations xml ffl- ff of mankind for centuries that America has grown great. It has been during these fateful fifty years, from the Spanish-American War in 1898, to the present time that America has developed in world leadership until it is today the bulwark of free men everywhere. South High, situated in the very heart of the workshop of the worldf' has accepted in ever- increasing numbers the youth of this important industrial area. It has sent it forth again, en- dowed with a knowledge of the arts and the sci- ences, aware that such knowledge is to be de- voted to human welfare. It is in its fuller sense, therefore, that this issue of our school magazine is dedicated to the men and the women in all walks of life who have made of the South Side an important part of our City and County, of our State, of our Nation and, indeed, of the world. -fudge Gustav L.

Davidson. The committee wish- ed to determine when the people of the South Side would have a modern high school building to replace a row of wooden portables then in use. As a member of that committee, I remember well our approach to the superintendent, our serious intentions, and the gracious manner in which we were received. We were representing a student body and a graduating class that were 7 as varied in terms of nationality background and religious faith as one finds anywhere, but school for us was an experience in democratic living. We had learned to respect one another, to share in one another's problems, and we were aware of the rich contributions to the community that were made by all groups. It seemed then that the people of the South Side had a single pur- pose in mind-that of acquiring a new high school building. Those of you who never will forget the South High School of the past will recall the assembly
