N THE SOI-I-WIAN193O WW RED CROSS AUXILIARY The purpose of the Red Cross is, primarily, to build a liner and higher type' of citizen. Since he who has the habit of giving joyous and gracious service to those who need it has developed many of the qualities of good citizenship, service is the keynote of the Junior Red Cross Organization. At South each club has elected one member from its number to form the ,Iunior Red Cross Auxiliary. The Auxiliary meets once a month with the junior Red Cross Sponsor: and these members then report to their individual clubs. This Auxiliary meets one week before the Council of the -lunior Red Cross, so that a complete report of activities may be given. In the spring semester of 12130, an effort was made to emphasize International Friendship, through the medium of club and class programs. xl! X11 x11 .if Q-,fi-I Q QEI IPZQA 1 .H.

THE SOH-IAN1930 TI-IE STAFFS THANK-YOU As we go from reality to humor. the start desires that you stop a moment or two to give a thought to those who have made The Sohian' possible at South lligh School. Last year our printing instructor, Nr. Lytle Cole, was responsible in a great measure for the success of the 12129 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 lilled with fact, fiction, and all the worries of a literary adviser-and they were not few. lYithout Art, an annual is not possible. XYithout Miss Ruth French this particular Sohian would not have been possible. She gave of her time, work, and advice. lYhen 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 hnished by the printers. Guiding and directing all the staff and the faculty assistants was Miss Mary Pusateri. All through the year she has planned and contrived, undaunted by the impossible. To the rim ex imicliixnf' all are grateful. sew? page llZllldl6d Jiffy-si.r
