.X A President Vice-President Secretary The Junior Class ONTRARY to popular opinion concerning the relationship between age and wisdom, South High's younger generation displayed good judgment in selecting such well qualified leaders as Eugene Russell, President: Mary Brown, Vice- president: and Robert Harris, Secretary, to guide their steps in this beginning stage of the school's development. Without doubt these officers have fully measured up to the expectations of those who elected them last fall. In cooperation with the other student officers they have constituted the first authority vested in this new student government organization. With their help and cooperation, high standards for clean sportsmanship and school spirit were established which are capable of enduring throughout South High's career. No small portion of the entertainment of the school can be attributed to the Junior class members of the Glee Clubs, the Band. and the Orchestra, who, despite the fact that they have been figuratively put on the shelf in the auditorium, have been effectually represented in the opera, the plays, and the weekly assembly programs. The talents and ability thus demonstrated, though amateur, compare favorably with that from other schools. and even with professional art. lt is expected that this record will be continued, with improvements. next year. Junior class members have gained distinction in the various positions on the regular football and basketball teams, as well as on our very successful second teams. Junior representatives in track. wrestling, tennis, swimming and go-lf have given indications of being sufhcient cause for a cheerful outlook upon the coming athletic season. Next September the Juniors will come home to Our School, as Seniors of 1933, to build a superstructure worthy of the firm foundation that was prepared by our pioneers-the Seniors of 1932. They have resolved to continue the story of South High Glory with as inspir- ing and interesting a second chapter as the first has proved to be, lnstead, however, of being minor characters in that story, as they have been thus far, they will assume roles of major importance. Expression of their own abilities, ideas, and ideals will replace the deference they have as Juniors shown toward their recognized superiors. the Seniors. And though they go. Wh1'Ie we must stay: They'Ue blazed a Irailmf They'ue shown the way. Page 2 6

GRANT EVANS BETH WEGENER ANTIONETTE WILSON President Vice-President Secretary The Senior Class Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing. HE sentiment expressed in these lines from Longfellow has guided this first Senior Class. which upon entering South High was confronted with the problem of originating suitable precedents, not only for the Juniors. but also for all student organizations to come. The undertaking could not do otherwise than proceed with efficacy when tackled by such an enterprising group as this one led by Grant Evans. President: Elizabeth Wegener, Vice-President: and Antionette Wilson, Secretary, whose unflagging efforts have gone far toward making South- Our School -one of which anyone can be proud. The Seniors have taken the initiative in every type of activity in the curriculum. Had they been a slothful, indifferent class, unheedful of responsibility, instead of an energetic, creative one, the enjoyable programs, dances, and other entertainments which they have sponsored could not have been so effectually conducted. Senior work in competitive athletics has been characterized by true sportsmanship and unusual ardor, strength, and ability. Accomplishments in this field include a wrestling championship, distinction in basketball and football, and honors in track, tennis, swimming, golf and archery. The class first met at South High as a heterogeneous mixture of students from various school environments. Their traditions and customs, which were to be incorporated into the new organization, were naturally of a conglomerate nature. Thus arose the necessity for promoting a congenial relationship among the class members and for welding all these hitherto unassociated fragments into a homogeneous whole. Because of their success in meeting these and other problems characterizing the beginning steps of any undertaking, these first graduates may, in days to come, look back with satisfaction and pride upon the results they 'have achieved. All too soon their only year of high-school life at South High has come to a close. They realize with regret that now come scores of reluctant goodbyes and the breaking of many enjoyable associations. The serious hours of study interspersed with the happy hours of fun are gone beyond recall except in memory. Those who now leave these beloved surroundings will perhaps some day pause in the various walks of life to engage in pleasant reminiscences of the days of '32. They advance to wider realms with the aim, We shall continue the progress begun at South High. With high hopes that the trust, which they are passing on, will be accepted with serious realization of its importance, they unstrap the sack of responsibilities from their shoulders and shift it to those of the waiting seniors-to-be. 'Tis not that their backs are weak, But that their work is done, 'Tis not that their strength is gone, But that the race is run. Page 2 5
