POT Q' GOLD l Seniors pass From year to Year l-listory of the Class of '34 Bly Lucile Clark UNIOR HIGH-We, the class of '34, came to South in 1928 and entered Junior High under the supervision of Miss Ethel Asher. After becoming duly impressed with the routine, we proceeded to astonish the upper-classmen with the Jester's play, Friends in Booklandf' In the eighth grade with Miss Elizabeth Harter as supervisor we made history by publishing the best Rainbow of the year faccording to our judgmentb. The Masquers Club gave Do You Believe in Luck as its annual play. NINTH GRADE-As green freshmen under the leadership of Miss Helen Shanahan, we occupied the entire third floor and three rooms on the second. We thought we were quite important and elected Everett Goodwin, president: Harold Zeigenbush, vice presidentg Richard Allen. secretary-treasurer, and Loyal Niles, reporter. Our representatives did well by us in sports, clubs, and music, and three freshmen were cheer- leaders. With a never-to-be-forgotten class party in the cafeteria we closed the year. 1 TENTH GRADE-Only. 275 students survived the first three years of high school, and just seven home rooms were allowed us under Mr. C. F. Sinclair's supervision, but with a determination to make our class prominent we elected Beulah Klingler, presidentg Bess Standiford, vice president, Richard Allen. secretary-treasurer, and Pauline Parlette, reporter. The football and basketball boys did a great deal to make our class distinguished. We were intensely interested in clubs, music, and dramatics, and two sophomores had parts in the annual operetta. Our importance was finally recognized, so in the second semester we were permitted to attend the Sophomore-Junior-Senior dance at Moose Hall. ELEVENTH GRADE-The class grew steadily smaller and only 198 students returned as juniors under the supervision of Miss Marie Bowlus. We chose as our oflicers Jack Wetherill, presidentg Valeria Clapper, vice president: William Vogelgesang, secretaryg Oletha Ritchie, treasurer. Many football and basketball participants were juniors, and we were equally active in clubs, music. debate. and the Rainbow. Several ,iuniors played important parts in the Ye Merries' play and the operetta. Ada June Nulf and Orville Young had the leading roles in the class play The Charm School. The Sophomore-JunioihSenior dance was held February 24. and the Prom in May closed the year. TWELFTH GRADE-Trumpet within! At last we arrive at our goal-Seniors. Room 227 under the direction of Miss Hazel Baver and Mr. H. C. Roberson was our happy home. We elected Jack Youmans, president, Beulah Klingler, vice president, Geraldine Neiferd, secretaryg and Everett Goodwin, treasurer. Jack Wetherill and Fern Cripe presided over the carnival as king and queen. Memories of hot hot-dogs, marsh- mallows, and tall stories remind us of the Weiner roast in October at Hensler's Grove. Our class was outstanding in sports, music, dramatics, cheerleading, debate, journalism and scholastic attainments. On March 16 we sponsored the Sophomore-Junior-Senior dance in the gym. As our dramatic farewell to South we presented Skidding on May 18. The Baccalaureate sermon on May 20, Class Day on May 22, and Commencement on May 25 brought the year to a close.

FCI? 1934 The Class pays Homage to the School Tribute Forget you '? Would we forget a mother who has tried to be A guide to all things that are good and true, A teacher of all things both old and new, Who bids that we, the Class of '34, strive on to immortality '? Would we forget so safe a harbor when, in time Of stress, to her we flew and found the shelter of her arms Protection against all worldly harms- The rock of our security, sublime? Would we forget a friend, who shared our joys, our hopes, our fears, Who praised when we were victor o'er a foeg Who, by our sides, at some defeating blow Served as a solace in our time of tears? Would we forget the ablest teacher of them all-experience- Who gives her knowledge without book or pen, And leaves in this world some wiser and some sadder men VVho ne'er forget her lessons in all days hence? Would We forget the home where gleams the light Of love, and care, and hospitality, Where runs along the course of pure tranquility, And leads youth in the world to conquer by fair iight? Would we forget a place of ideal happiness, Where worldly schemes are wont to stay away, A place where we can laugh, the while we may, And keep our dreams of joy and nobleness? Would we forget one who has been a refuge thus- A guide, a guard, a shelter, all in one, Who saw to it our lives were well begun, And gave to our safe-keeping knowledge in good trust '? We know that memory has too great a might In souls of men to let us e'er forget That in our youth a beacon thus we met, And meeting, could not stray from its true light. Oh, South! In years to come, we'll oft recall A face-a foe-a friend, But ever to the end We'll first remember you-the dearest of them all. --ADA JUNE NULF
