Mayi18, 1864 931 Nov, 23, l ln all probability our future civilization will rest for its very existence and continuance upon the culture, understanding, and independent thinking of the citizen. Dedicaiion of Souih High School E owe a great deal of our present educational advantages to the efforts of the members of the Board of Education. who were well represented at the Dedicatory Exercises held in our Auditorium, Thursday evening, October 8, 1931. George F. Wasson. former President of the Board, came from Los Angeles to present the new high school to the citizens' representative, Harold P. Fabian. Other speakers of the evening besides Mr. Eaton, chairman, were the late G. H. Backman, five years president of the Board. Mr. George N. Child, Superintendent, Mr. Howard Barker, superintendent of grounds, Mr. QeVoe Woolf, principal, and Miss Winifred Dyer, vice-principal. The Board members believe that future prosperity, socially and economically, is so closely interwoven with the success of the school system, that one cannot succeed with- out the other, and that the success of either one largely assures the success of the other.

l Page PARLEY GILES FRANCES BENNION MARJORIE VOMBAUR President Vice-President Secretary The Post Graduates HE Post-graduate Association has been one of South High's real assets during this beginning year of its existence. The fact that the class enrollment has been small would appear to be quite a disadvantage, but in spite of its lack of strength in numbers, this group has made 'its strength of purpose felt in various ways. Under the enthusiastic leadership of its officers, Parley Giles, president: Frances Bennion, vice-president: and Marjorie Vombaur, secretary, 'it has functioned as a substantial help to Senior and Junior class activities. With whole-hearted zeal, these leaders have entered into the duties devolving upon them as leaders in an Association which has proved to be a valuable part of the student body. People seldom improve when they have no other model than themselves to copy after. The aim of the group has been to set a worthy example for the younger members of the student body. Perhaps this fact has been the force behind the many worthwhile achievements of the class, which has given splendid exhibitions :of pep and school spirit and has loyally supported all scholastic enterprises. Particularly, the high types of entertainment displayed in the well conducted Post-graduate Assembly programs is concrete evidence that this aim has been commendably carried out. Since they are older than the members of other classes and since some of them have had an opportunity during the interval between graduation and re-entrance of school to benefit from the broadening influence of contact'with actual life problems, they are well qualified to act as models. They have created an atmosphere of business- like procedure for 'iOur School, which ,would not ,have been possible had the student body been composed only of younger memlbers. Their dignified behavior has served to offset the youthful exuberance of under-graduates. Though they are not considered regular high-school students nor allowed to enter any form of ,high-school competition, the Post-graduates have taken active interest in such things. Thus, though unable to gain glory for themselves, they have been instrumental in gaining glory for South High by inspiring eligible contestants to more lively participation. The success of all the school literary productions has been due, to an appreciable extent, to the cooperation of Post-graduates with Senior and Junior members of publication staffs. Their experience and wider knowledge, together with their willing- ness to help, have been of invaluable assistance to those who were hitherto unacquainted with journalistic practices. In view of their year of service they deserve the heartfelt thanks of a grateful student body. They certainly have followed Thoreau's advice- Be not simply good: be good for something. Z4
