gT H E QWO HMI A THE STAFFS THANK-YOU As we go from reality to humor, the staff desires that you stop a moment or two to give a thought to those who have made HThe Sohian possible at South High School. Last year our printing instructor, Mr. Lytle Cole, was responsible in a great measure for the success of the 1929 Sohian. Not content with his achievement last year, he has given time, labor, thought, and advice for this present publication. To Miss Ellen Due goes the full credit of all literary work in this book. Her days and nights have been iilled with fact, fiction, and all the worries of a literary adviser-and they were not few. XYithout Art, an animal is not possible. XYithout Miss Ruth French this particular Sohian would not have been possible. She gave of her time, work, and advice. When all others have linished their work, the proof-reader begins. Miss Frances Hammitt has read this book from cover to cover twice-before it went to the printer, and after the first copy was finished by the printers. Guiding and directing all the staff and the faculty assistants was Bliss Mary Pusateri. All through the year she has planned and contrived, undaunted by the impossible. To the rica ex wzaclziuaf' all are grateful. WW page lzmzclifed jifty-six N 1930 l
