lOOKOS IDIH HXflOS And Then There Were None ••TX THEN I was a child. I spoke as a child, I understood as W a child. I thought as a child; but when I became a man 1 put away childish things.” Three years. How queer that they should pass so soon. We would pause to look ! ack. to remember. But the world moves on. and we. a part of it. move too. Gliding caps and gowns—a stately march. Youthful faces, l� le in the darkness of night, with smiling lips and serious eyes. Laughter, low voices, handshakes. We would linger. Time does not. Automobiles purr as little by little the group disj erses, trickles off into a thousand different ways. A strain of Auld Lang Syne drifts through the thin air. A crushed flower spills perfume over the night. We move in stately sadness, marred only by the thrill that is tomorrow. ELBERT C.

South was our school. Fvery yellow brick of it. It was a constantly changing fabric, a plaid of darkness and gaiety, this background of our high school years. 1940 —Franklin I). Roosevelt, first United States president to be elected to a third term. 1941 -Pearl Harbor. The United States enters the war. 1942— Russia stages a comeback. 1943- -? Around us the world was changing, startlingly, rapidly. Closer still, South High was changing, too. Three years : Nineteen members of the faculty leave, among them our military trio. Mr. Lambert. Miss Schreiber. Coach NVolanski; and the army and navy are the better for the change. Fight new teachers arrive. Not only in the classroom, hut in the library, and in the janitor's office there are new faces. Football seasons come and go. each with its thrills, spills and grid stars; packed stands of loyal rooters and echoing Sis Boom Balts. Basketball! King of winter sports. Capable as they were, the orange and black streaks, with their brilliant team play and fast footwork, set the old gym agog with cheers. But ill fortune does not discriminate, and when the Flyers emerged after the 1943 Senate struggle, it was in second place, and not in the first place which they deserved. Hundreds of Monday mornings passed in classrooms. Scores of radio broadcasts fell upon cars: eager ears, indifferent ears, deaf ears. But there was one Monday morning we marked, and one radio broadcast all heard. It was December 8th and the President of the United States was speaking. The speech was only a matter of minutes, but when his voice died and the air v;i' filled again with silence; we looked out of the window; it was a city at war we saw—a city, a state, and a nation. Soon after there were two eagles in the hall, flanked b long, neat li t of printed names—South's Inns in service. A uniform appeared in the hall, now and then, and old grads came back to shake hands once more before they left to serve the Uncle they would die for. Classes changed swiftly to meet wartime demands. Aeronautics. Blue Print Reading. Measurements, Machine Shop for girls appeared in the curriculum. There were patriotic assemblies and scrap drives. Clubs were disbanded to make room for the nation-wide High School Victory Corps. The country was at war and so was South. Three years. We are not sorry for any part of these that made our school life. What is school life? It is music—an introductory number to life’s melody. It is practice -a carefully planned rehearsal to the greatest of life's plays. It is fabric. The fabric of a coat we have been making and wearing all at once. It is not worn nor threadbare. but just as it is completed it is suddenly outgrown. There remains but one thing more. It must Ik luing away, with a little reluctance and much care, with the knowledge that there will never be another just like it. Phyllis Bardy 25 A LANGUAGE UNIVERSAL A STAGEHAND REMEMBERS Five minutes to go. The announcer finds the part in the curtains and disappears. He speaks to the waiting crowd, and his voice, floating backstage, is suave, jovial, full of promise. Even his hair agitated and bristling. Mr. Barnes dashes around barking last minute orders at the actors—the stagehands. The murmur of the hidden audience grows louder, and nervous players l� oke at their makeup, muttering fractions of lines. Curtains sway under protesting ropes. The house grows still. Opening lines are spoken, thin and hesitant at first, then growing stronger and more confident . . . The lights worked. The scenery didn't fall down. The audience laughed in the right places—usually. Tension is shattered and everyone laughs, swarming over the shadowy labyrinths of backstage—in and out of the cluttered little office, excited, congratulating. relieved. Another spring play is history, and the ghosts of the high school theatre return to their dusty habitats of old scenery and used costumes. Duplicating the lilt of a lilac stem with one stroke of watercolor; making clay talk as pottery and statuettes; shaping indifferent metal lieneath a jet of flame till it spelled jewelry—always there was something intriguing about art. Can we quite forget Miss Sommer’s turquoise Indian jewelry, her music-lx x. her enthusiasm over watercolor and weaving; and Miss Moody, quiet, gray-haired, tireless—as deft with a soldering iron as with a brush? No storeroom could l e as clammy as 307A. No landscape as often sketched as the comer framed by the windows of 305. There were slides and exhibits, pose drawings and meticulous lettering. Pastels, pencils, clay, crayons, linoleum. inks, oils ... art speaks in many tongues. It is a language universal, commanding, constant. Caught by the Camera 26 -HUT IT’S WORTH TELLING JUST ONCE MORE Twice a week, 18 weeks a semester, 6 semesters, it was always the same; hurrying down the back stairs into the locker room, the fingers on one hand crossed (to get into the gym on time) while the other hand tried desperately to untie the result of last week’s rushing—that careless knot in your tennis shoe. With the country going all-out for physical fitness, girls’ gym at South High followed suit. Conditioning exercises, first under the supervision of diminutive Irene Schrieber, then under chipper Sara Haymaker, made their debut. An epidemic of limps, grunts, and groans did likewise. There was OUR basketball, a combination of wrestling and football, and we loved it; baseball, where a broken fingernail got more attention than the ball that just whizzed by: folk dancing for the dainty misses of the class; and apparatus work—ugh! Just plain ugh ! Came the end of the period and Gym Leaders would take over, and take over they did. A particularly noisy class would find themselves in plenty of hot water—or cold. Then—running up the back stairs, with the fingers of one hand crossed (to get to history on time), and the untied shoelace doing its darnedest to see that you didn’t. Twice a week, 8 weeks a semester. 6 semesters. It’s girls’ gym, always a sporting proposition. OWED TO CHEMISTRY Thanks for the memory— Of tests we seldom passed, Of being nearly gassed. Of Bunsen burners, H,0. Of good times to the last, ----Thank you so much. Thanks for the memory— Of walking in a daze. Amid that smoky haze. Of living in another world of Molecules and weights. ----Thank you so much. 27 T1 IK SONG OK KEEIINAWATIIA Valh a ceiling, high and latticed With a maze � f 1 ascment piping.

Long may it rotate, saving the common man. by its frothy dash, from the common fate of meals from a can and inevitable hash. Here’s to the white-capped makers’ of dishes that boast (be they salad or roast, or pastry or stews) that each bite is good news. Here's to the pot-stirring girls in white, the Queens of the Kitchen ; may they always delight the suppertime sleuths and dining room lords with hot. tempting dishes on gay festive-boards. 28 A SERMON BY THE EDITOR If you’ve ever seen the pressroom'’ you’ll know what I’m going you haven’t, well, listen. Do you know what it is to walk in a nightmare of j astc|)ots awl rulers, of ty|� e sjxrcimens and make-up sheets, of assignments and deadlines f That’s Journalism. Do you know what it is to submit a |K t story, with a |«rental pat. and have it come lack maimed and crippled, horribly disfigured l� y blue-lining? That’s Jouralism. Do you know what it is to fill 10 empty inches of space—to hunt for news when it just ain’t? That’s Journalism. Hut there is more. Do you know what it is to see your story in print, and read, and appreciated ? That’s Journalism. Do you know what it is to sec someone chuckle, right over the place where you tried to be funny? That’s Journalism. Do you know what it is to “make it through’’ with a hunch of kids when sledding is toughest; to know them until anything but a nickname is strange; to call a teacher “Ma : to stay with a subject so long that you seriously think of changing your last name to “Beacon”? That’s Journalism. It was logical and crazy, wonderful and nerve-racking, incessant, constant, demanding. Hut most of all. it was for South. THE STUDENT COUNCIL ESSENTIALLY democratic, always in evidence, sponsor of countless current drives—the Student Council was always the center of activity. Election weeks were hotly contested affairs, each February and June, when posters dangled everywhere reminding the observer of the merits of the Dynamics of Progressives, or F.O.B.’s. There were cainj aign speeches and ballots, and after the dust of battle bad settled, benefit dances and welcome parties, scrap and war-bond drives. And always the weekly Tuesday meetings of the entire council. A grand gang who have left a grand memory—the Student Council. 29 M STANDS FOR MUSIC It’s a far cry from the first time as a sophomore, green and impressionable. you tingled to the throaty drum beats of the Sotithemaires as a spotlighted singer bent toward the mike— or. waving a jieanut bag excitedly at the hand that paced the gridiron, sang loudly, and incoherently, the school song you hardly knew. That horn you were half afraid of is putty in your hands now, and Mr. Gould has been discovered to be—of ail things—a fellow musician. March. 1943. The bulletin had read “Instrumental Concert.” It was more than that. Last things always are. Von blinked at the colored lights and scraped your chair a bit on the stage. You patted the glistening nose of your trumpet and murmured, Well, Baby, this is it. But it wasn't. For music doesn’t end in final concerts. Every future strain of “Running Through My Mind. every pungent note of the Caisson Song” will prove more than mere melody. They will lx: the sound and sight of sunlight, spotlight, and shadow; of the Southernaircs Serenade ; of marching feet across a gridiron. M stands for Music—and Memory. THE ODD ROOM It was one of the oddest rooms of the building, and though the sign above the door read Lecture Room we never thought of it as such. The floor led halt way up to the ceiling in a series of shallow steps from which exi erimcnts on the long, black counter were viewed. On “Lab” days, the prescription was mirrors and pins, thermometers and buckets of snow, lxattcries and electric lights—in double-period doses. There were quick quips and quizzes from Mr. Ifoffman. Mr. Tippie's happy smile and torrid tussles with “laws and formulae, text and workbooks and mimeographed tests. We were alternately elated and miserable—and we're not trading the past for all the colors in the spectrum. 30 WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND GREEN- HOW DO YOU GROUND A PLANE? Life is full of paradoxes. “The shortest distance between two points— the 10th grade math teacher prompted, “is a straight line, ’ you supplied. “The shortest distance between two points—” the 12th grade aeronautics teacher prompted, “is a curved line,” you finished. And you were right. Not once, but twice. Take landing in an airplane. Before you took aeronautics you might have done it any old way. Now you know. You would circle the landing field to the left and come in” in a straight line. You have seen airplane parts close at hand, too, and learned about the controls, meteorology, horsepower and tail winds. And all the while you were exercising your super-vision, seeing, through pages of problems and formulae, laws and rules—the spread of silver wings against a wide, blue sky. Big, and noisy and filled with sawdust. The novice looked around the woodwork room, at power saws, joiners, lathes, drill braces, band saws and benches, with the interest of the very innocent. A man, the teacher, was coming toward him. I’m woodwork. It's on my card.” Mr. Yingling wiped his hands on his apron and looked over his sjjectaclcs. Hello. ‘Woodwork.’ You may as well get busy”. He handed him a stool. “Take this to the finishing room. “The finishing room! The novice giggled apologetically at the stacks of lx ards in the lumber room into which he had betaken himself. The finishing room was small, filled with furniture of all kinds. The agreeable smell of varnish stained the air. He placed the stool near a dusky corner where a newly varnished desk gleamed, sultry and beautiful. The novice touched it reverently. He was going to like woodwork. He sighed, and closed the door gently, hurrying back to find the wood stretcher and skv-hook some of the boys had requested. Jn a dusky corner a newly varnished desk gleamed, despite a large, raw fingerprint. 31 POTHOLDERS DON’T HAVE BUTTONHOLES THE BIGGEST JOB The afternoon sun glinted on gleaming, well oiled presses, on sloping cabinets and rows of type. Boys were everywhere. Hunched over the stone with rules and reg-lets and sticks , draped against window sills, arranged over cabinets, poking at assortments of type or meditatively contemplating a squeak in the proof press. And always present, the gentle art of conversation. Record cards. Mr. Carruthers was saying, hall passes, dispensary permits, tickets to all activities, commencement programs. re| ort cards— Oh, said the reporter, alternately scribbling (red pencil) and glancing meekly around, and what do you consider your biggest job? The conversation had Ixrcomc a mild roar. Mr. Carruthers made a face at the offenders. K c e p i n g you guys quiet, he growled. From ] Kit holders to suits is a long jump. Now that the noise of battle (sewing machine) has ceased, and the weapons of warfare (needles, shears) have been laid down, we wonder how we made it. There was that maze of crooked seams and fasteners sewed top side down, and hems that puckered and ripped. But even those were not as bad as losing the last piece to the pattern. We have reached the height of accomplishment. Before the inquiry had been, Oh, Mary. A new dress. Did you make it? And the last always with the brazen air of certainty. Yesterday the question was different and we said. Not at Higbee's! I made it.” We are glad. We smile -even at Mrs. Maeder. Miss Holaday. and Miss Frischknet. Please don’t ask us about the abnormally large buttons on the suits. Don’t even mention buttonholes or camouflage. It would ! e humiliating to be shoved off the pinnacle of success by a buttonhole. —And besides, potholders don’t have buttonholes. 32 “THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TYPEWRITER” It was a cold reception —the day you first walked into room 216. Rut one could hardly expect those ominous, black Remingtons, mute and letterless, to tap out a cheery welcome. They did, though, after the first gruelling days of frf; juj” were over. To beginners there was always an invisible “Handle With Care sign dangling on the carriage return. Slow, precise, accurate. These were the key words until a little gremlin peeked through the keys and whispered, “Speed—hurry—faster! You complied, and Miss Munn and Mrs. Mc-Ancrney began hearing the pitiful complaints, “There’s something wrong with my machine. It makes too many errors.” Two days. Three. A week, and no tests passed. “I’ll just have to cut down on my speed, you murmured. In spite of the resolve, those essential notes to best friends became more frequent—less accurate. You pounded the keys mercilessly, slammed the carriage return, taking out your moods on the “old machine.” After all. in a few weeks—well, why think about it? But the “few weeks” passed, as weeks will, and before you knew it, you were writing “finis” on that last sheet of borrowed pajjcr—returning the carriage on your high school typing career. TO THE CONQUERED MAN I lis face was wet, his hands were black His mouth was tense and grim, The pride of power was in his eyes, There was no stopping him, A master of machines was he. Adept with lathe and steel. A conqueror of industry, A King of cog and wheel. The pride is gone from out his eyes, His hands are numb and slow. Reside him work three pretty girls. Bernice, Yvonne and Flo. Their hands are soft, their touches light, The motor hums and whirls. Machinery thunders through the night. You just can’t beat those girls! The conqueror is caged at last, As good as mud his name, His fate is done, his die is cast. He's l eaten at his game. 33 THE ULTIMATE WARM and almost inaudible, comes a humming which means that through the magic of the microphone, the square little room on the first floor is united with rooms throughout that floor, and the next, and the next. When, in perfect sequence, the rubberized mallet strikes the introductory chimes, tension quickens among the silent, paper-clutching group that frames the mike. Accompanied by Mr. Ballentine’s pantomime, the announcements are underway. A 12B meeting ... a set of keys lost: a clever build-up for a future assembly ; and silence, followed by a commemoration of Armistice Day. ft is solemn and stirring. The high tenor of a violin quivers into nothingness in the background. A feminine voice wrings pathos from every stanza of the poem. More soulful, more stirring it becomes with every passing line . . . and then . . . Thin, irreverent and insulting, from a disturbing somewhere, the sound of running water filters through the walls, and into the mike, and over the air.

Perhaps, but it is more. Is it a world of eager chase, and quick despair and consequence ? Perhaps, but it is more. Is it a world of small inquest, of small remorse and small success? Perhaps, but is more. It is a plastic world; we make of it just what we do. Not what we will. Not what we can. But what we do. We made the bombs, you see. and we have war. We will make schools again, and roads, and homes, and then there will l e peace. We span the two. Fate, who has placed us on these shifting sands, will stay and watch us stand—or fall. But Fate is old and lame; she does not know how strong are we, and footsure. AUTOGRAPHS • FACULTY THE TOWER PRESS - CLEVELAND
