Only here do we learn to live peacef ahly with our companions, to think of others, to understand their prohlems. ln the world of today what is more important than this? Our school not only offers fine courses in academic subjects but also in music, athf letics, and commercial arts. This is topped by the excellent teaching staff that tries in every way to help and encourage each stuf dent. This is our school. We are an essenf tial part of it. We have an opportunity to express our opinions in a student governf ment given to us as a special privilege. Here is the foundation of a true democracy. So it is OUR SCHOOL that we take as a theme for the 1940 Spectra, an organizaf tion which We shall always remember and prize. Hats oil to South High School! DEDICATION This year the school is losing four of its Hnest teachers - Mrs. Isabelle Knapp, Miss Doris Sedelbauer, Miss Bertha Field, and Mr. John Jensen. Mrs. Knapp, English teacher and faculty adviser of the Spectra, has become a well' known figure around South for her smile and kind words. She is an example of a really ine teacher - understanding, helpful, encouraging, Although Mrs. Knapp has taken on the worries of editing the Spectra, she always has time to help us when we need her. If it were IlOt for her interest and encouragement, the Spectra would not be out this year. The 1940 Spectra staff appre- ciates everything she has done for it. Miss Sedelbauer, director of guidance, has by her interest and understanding aided many students over the rough ways of life and has helped boys and girls to fashion their careers for the future. She has given limitless time to various clubs, and her en' thusiastic and generous services will be hard to replace. Miss Field, home economics teacher, ref signed in February and for the past few months has been having a wellfearned rest. She has organized a home economics def partment of which South is very proud. Throughout her many years of teaching, Miss Field has always kept her grand under' standing of students and their problems. Mr. Jensen, woodfwork instructor, is one of the oldest members of the faculty. Alf ways generous and hardfworking, he has given untiring energy to extra work for the school. He is an unsung hero at South whose generosity and diligence will not be forgot' ten. So it is to these line teachers that we dedicate the 1940 Spectra. Although they are resigning, their splendid contributions to South High will always be remembered. Isabelle Knapp Doris Sedelbauer Bertha Field John Jensen 05:9 MHMWM Wfiffw QQWQM !fLCZfLllEMLCi Oifwwq FACULTY Many of the members of South's faculty serve on committees and boards for city, state, and national educational agencies. Miss Anton and Mrs. Knapp chaperoned delegates to the National Scholastic Press Association held in Chicago in November. Miss Lindsley took a group of representatives to Waishiiigf ton to the National Red Cross Convention in May. Mr. Lester C. Doerr, principal, and Libbye Berkowitz, clerk, administer the affairs of CUR SCHOOL which pertain to 2,179 students and 70 teachers. Wlleii Mr. Doerr is not busy interviewing students and trying to help them with their individual troubles, he can take time oil to arrange an educational asf semhly for the students. lf he is not engaged in one of these pleasanter occupations, he may be found listening to somebody's story of hard luck, or administering a bit of discipline. Libbye relieves Mr. Doerr from the routine of making out the reports of thc school for the main oilice, and collects all the fees for the different courses around school. Besides the numerous duties already listed, Mr. Doerr also arranges the teachers' meetings for the school and helps the organization to run smoothly. He represents the school on various educational committees. He helps to advertise the school and make known its funcf tions to the public by speaking at various times before different groups. He is chairman for the fourth district of the M.E.A. H-of 'W' Mr. Lester C. Doerr, A.B., M.A.: and Miss Libbye Berkowitz cc 8 n ovs 1: Lucy A. Rt-ed. A.I-3.1 Ina lVlt'Nt-al, M.A.: Ruth lVl.

English Department Wheii Miss Eaton, head of the English departf ment since the opening of South, resigned last June, Miss Ruth Steglich was chosen chairman for the year 193940. Miss Steglich is also serving on the city committee for the choice of a new text book for business English. Miss Thelma Anton was adviser to the Grand Rapids Interf high Press Guild, which includes nine local high schools, and attended all board meetings and reguf lar meetings. Miss Maureen Friar was elected president of Junior Michigan Alumnae, and Barf bara Miller is treasurer of the same organization. Agnes Lindsley has been president of the School WtJmen's Club, and Mrs. Isabelle W. Knapp was chairman of the English section of School Masters t an Row 1: Clara M. Dunlap, ILS.: Josephine C.

All of these activities have been carried on besides teaching tive classes a day, having charge of a session room, and advising many clubs. LANGUAGE: To a person just visiting this school, the work of this department is not immef diately visible. Its influence can in reality only be felt through the increased culture of the stu' dents who have taken languages. They contribute to the social life of the school by sponsoring three clubs. The Senior Latin Club, sponsored by Miss Laura Wilsoii, has been one of the most active clubs in school. The French Club is sponsored by Miss Peterson and Mr. Swenson. The objective of the club is to develop conversational French. The Junior Latin Club is made up of first and second year Latin students under the direction of Miss Yntema. Both of the Latin clubs study the civilization of the Romans in greater detail. The student who takes either of the two courses in foreign languages is sure to be a finer person for having done so and he is better able to take his place in school life. Row 1: l.urlwi,fz I-I.

MATH: The mathematics department makes a definite impression on school life. Many of the faculty in this department serve as advisers of clubs and school organizations. Miss Townsend is the financial adviser for the Math Club. Also we receive from this department besides many capable advisers a very good education in mathef matics. Every type of math from elementary ad' dition to complicated problems of trigonometry and advanced algebra can be found in the books of a student majoring in math. Along with his schooling in mathematics, the student learns the art of concentration and application. With many teachers in the department, he also receives a brief but enlightening view of the practical application of mathematics. SHQP: This group is worked hard for the benef fit of students. The print shop under Mr. Beilf fuss does all the printing of permits, excuses, and forms, necessary in school life. Also, a part of their weekly program is to print the Tattler and have it ready for distribution every Friday morn' B.S., M,A. 4, -nv ? Row 1: Alice Vevia, ILS.: Helen Williams.

Whe1iev'er a hall table is damaged we take it down to the wood shop. There it is carefully repaired by one of the advanced woodworking students under Mr. Jensen's supervision. The general shop, the machine shop, and the mechanf ical drawing departments also do their part. They help to train the student's hands to keep pace with his mind, so that when he graduates from school he will be able to take his place in the modern industrial world and become a productive member of society. ART: Evidences of the art departments influence may be found throughout the school in the posters used in the various campaigns. Almost any day in the school year, students work in the art room on signs for different school organizations. Wheii the senior class had to have scenery painted for the play, it was the art department that designed the decorations and painted the scenery. Wheiif ever anybody needs decorations made for a party, the art department receives the call and under the able direction of Miss Vevia. Miss Williztnis, and Miss Emery, the work goes ahead. The posters for all campaigns were made by the art departf ment, as also were all of the signs used in the Koppcr Karnival. Miss Vevia was chairman of the salary commitf tee of the Teachers' Club and has been active in welfare work with labor union members. WWW bun., k5 'Qy r. ,. , -, .A-4 'I iL t .

It helps the school to blossom out and it gives the student one more point to brag about. Mr. Vanderbush and Mr. Brady coach football, and Mr. Brady also helps Mr. Patterson, better known as Pat, with basketball, When spring rolls around, Mr. Vanderbush coaches baseball and Pat coaches golf. All these sports, plus track and tennis, help the boys to get rid of their surplus energy, to build strong bodies, and to develop muscular coordinaf tion. The girls hold up their end of the physical education program through varied sports, such as deck tennis, badminton, volleyball and archery under the able direction of Miss Krumheuer and Miss Kilstrom. The culmination of the girls' work in athletics comes in the spring when they hold their meet in the gym, and the sophomore, junior and senior classes iight it out for the school cham pionship.

SOCIAL STUDIES: This department, having fourteen teachers, is the second largest in the school, and is Very energetic and bristling with new and progressive ideas, Wheii Miss Lamf bert resigned last year, Miss MacI.ennan, a valued member of this staif for several years, was chosen to head the department. She teaches civics and American history and advises the younger teachers. She it is who unifies the department and makes it work as a whole. Wcirkiiig on the cityfwide com' mittees are Miss Hines, who is helping to plan the seventhfgrade history curriculum, and Mr. Brady, who is working on the civics program. Miss Knapp was chairman of a committee which chose a text book for European history, and Miss Lou Wilscnn is still working with a committee for modern history. South has an outstanding staff of history teachers. eatul: Virginia Wyatt, B.S.: Fliarlolie Kzunlall, A.B., ILS. anding: Frt-cl Zinfser: Roy l.eVu,llr-y, A.l4., li.C.S.g Ethel Andrews XB.: Lee Newton, AJS.: Jar-ob Brady, 15.5. COMMERCIAL: Bookkeeping, typing and short' hand are old stuff to this group of the faculty, They are the ones who teach our future book' keepers and secretaries. The bookkeeping teacher turns out just about all of the treasurers for school organizations. The typing course, taught by Miss Wyzitt and Miss Andrews, helps all of the school and especially the Spectra and Tattler staffs. This can easily be seen when you notice how a typist can change a scribbled page to a neatly typewritf ten piece of copy. Mr. LeValley and Mr. Newton attended the fourth annual convention of the Michigan Commercial Education Association, held in Detroit, April 12. Mr. LeValley was chairman of a section on general business training. HOME ECONOMICS: i'Umfmfm but that smells good. It must be one of the cooking classes of the home economics department. In this departf ment the girls are taught to be good housewives. Miss Dunlap and Miss Vsfassenaar teach the girls cooking and dietetics. Miss Gross and Miss Moore teach the girls sewing, so that they can keep the Joan Wassenaar. B.S.g Clare Dunlap, ILS.: Sue Gross, ILS.: Laura Moore, M,A.: Bertha Field, ILS. buttons onqshirts and make a new outfit when they feel that they just haven't got a thing to wear. In personal regimen the girls are taught to choose their clothes wisely and to shop eco' nomically. Many of the girls who major in home economics plan to go in and be professional dietitf ians, but if they don't take up a career, it is a safe bet that they will make some man a capable wife. MUSIC: Mr. Litton and Miss Lindley direct the musical organizations which help make our school known. Our band is the best in Grand Rapids, and plays for almost all important occasions. The band plays for all of our assemblies and helps to furnish the pep at football and basketball games. We also pick from the band a small dance or' chestra which plays for noon dances. The Glee Club and Mixed Chorus under the direction of Miss Lindley always put on a Christmas concert. They also do the singing whenever it is needed for assemblies. This spring they took part in the spring concert given by the city musical organizaf tion. Through able leadership of these two dif rectors the musical organization of South has become well known and respected throughout Westerii Michigan. Glenn Litton, B.S.1 Bessie Lindley, A.B. si 'FT Mary Hammond: Florvnet- Sealey MISS SEDELBAUER who is the all around ad' viser and helperfouter for the whole student body is found in room 106 when she isn't busy helping some student. ln an advisory capacity she helps students decide what course to take, whether to continue school, and many other personal prob' lems. She also tries to help out those students who get into tight scrapes. Miss Hunziker is the special speech teacher who helps students to im' prove their speech and also to adjust themselves to their environment. By reading these brief notes about the faculty department, it can be seen that they are both a motivating and guiding force in our school lite, SCIENCE: Approximately twelve hundred of our students are availing themselves of an opportunity to gain knowledge of the world about them through the study of the various sciences, Next year there will be a change made in the grades in which certain sciences will be offered. Geogf raphy will be an eighth grade subject as well as a seventh grade one. General science will become ninth grade work and biology, tenth grade. In january the biology department surfered a loss with the death of Miss Rachel Shaw, who had been a science teacher in South High over Doris Sedelbauer, A.B.g Minna Hunziker, A.lS. .af -. 3 --wt..

Miss Uenimon fell heir to Miss Shaws rooni and, in settling, has found many evif dences of her line interest and ability as a science teacher. Mr. Carmody was appointed to take Miss Sliaws work and has been conducting his classes in room 21 l. At various times during the year, junior Colf lege has extended invitations to our outstanding chemistry students to attend lectures given by noted scientists. LIBRARY: Quiet pleasel' ---- You guessed itl It's the library. This is the ideal spot in school to study. I-Iere, amid approximately 19,215 books in South High library, you can iind out anything you need to know from how to pluck chickens to putting a motor together. If you can't find what you want, Miss I'Iammond or Mrs. Sealey will find it for you. It is through the courteous help of the librarians that the students are able to look up their assignments and are thus able to gain a more complete knowledge of the subject they are taking. 1 ww ir, MQ Voice of the People Stephan, Shaver, Brand, Swann. lf l'm elected, I'll . . . was a familiar and oft' repeated phrase around the senior session room about the first of November. VoxfPop and Hunley Dory, the two political parties of 1940, were waging a major political campaign, and their slogans, Vox Pop, the Voice of the People, and Hunley Dory for Fame and Glory bedecked every inch of availf able space in the senior session room. It was a color' ful spectacle, and excitement mounted high as the candidates of the rival parties, very evenly matched, showered the class with a deluge of political propaf ganda in their race for oflice. Political rallies, band 14 playing, soapbox speeches, colorful posters, cards, stickers, and trick publicity stunts - all played an important part in the campaign. Whcii election day finally arrived, those who emerged victorious were Louis Brand, Vox Pop, president, Merl Swann, Hunky Dory, vicefpresidentg Anita Shaver, Vox Pop, secretary, Florence Stephan, Hunky Dory, treasurerg Theo Oxford and Don Howick, Vox Pop, and Louise Eikenhout, Hunky Dory, student advisers. As faculty advisers, Miss Evangeline Morrissey and Mr. Alvin Vandcrbush were chosen. 14 0 Friends of the People Standing: Eikenhout, Churrn, Vanderbush, Huwick. Sitting: Oxford, Morrissey. At the first senior meeting, presided over by Prcsif dent Brand early in November, all committees had been chosen, and committee chairmen had been selected. February found the seniors choosing their class colors, aqua and brown, and deciding upon FOR' WARD EVER, BACKWARD NEVER, as their class motto. Sereta Morten was chairman of the annual SeniorfMixer, held on February 9, a big day for the seniors. The class memorial decided upon new curtains for the senior session room stage. Cne hundred fiftyf nine dollars was appropriated for purchase of the memorial. Because of a new ruling, seniors had their pictures taken at any studio they preferred. ln March, the senior girls put on their annual Damsel's Drag. With the proceeds of the dance, the girls presented Mr. Churm with a new desk. Doriee Ashby was chairman of the Rotation Rally, a skating party sponsored by the seniors early in April. Eugene C'Neill's famous 'LAh Wilderness was chosen as the senior play, and placed under the direction of Miss Beatrice Loomis. Romantic leads in the double cast were taken by Louise Eikenhout and William Farrer, and Anita Shaver and George LeVal1ey. The play was presented April 19 and 20. The juniorfSenior Mixer, with Donna Keller as senior chairman, was held early in May, and offered rollerfskating, dancing, and free refreshments as at' tractions. Walter Schroth was chairman of the Senior Prom, which was put on for the seniors by the alumni. The Prom, which was the last party of the year, was a semifformal affair and featured the music of Curt Bunting. During May, the seniors voted for lilies of the valley and roses as their class flowers, and selected their class song, which was written by Kenneth Welch. Cn May 15, technicolor moving pictures were taken of a typical school day. These movies, which were shown on Class Day, fitted into the general theme of the Class Day program, which was Hollywood. Chairman of the Class Day committee was Florence Miller. 41159 Gordon Anderson . . . local champ - Wrestling Team: HifY: Commercial Law Club: Color Committee Clifford Abbott . . . happy, unassuming manner James Abraham . . . golden-tongued orator -Senior Orchestra: Commercial Law Club: Class Day Commit' tee: Senior Honor Society Q1 Clyde W.

Our fun was over, our work Clone, And finally - Graduation. JUNIORS The first activity sponsored by the junior class after its organization in the late fall was a dance held on December 16. Because of the holiday season, this affair was appropriately named The Kris Kringle Krawl, The gymnasium was decorated in blue and white with lighted Christmas trees in each of the four corners. A huge Santa on his hands and knees covered a large section of one side of the room and thus carried out the theme. Wade Abraham, the general chairman, was assisted by several capable committees. During February the main activity of the class was the sponsoring of a marionette show. A matinee featuring Pinocchio and an evening performance en' acting Treasure Island were given. Under the leader' ship of Esther Holwerda, groups of juniors canvassed the neighboring grade schools with the result that the afternoon show attracted many of the younger children and proved a Hnancial success for the juniors. Perhaps the most gala occasion of the year was the annual IHOP, given on April 16. Under a false ceiling of blue and silver, over a hundred couples danced to the music of Curt Bunting. The girls in their spring formals helped to change the atmosphere of an ordinary dance into something much more fesf tive. Eileen Conkright, as chairman, was ably assisted by Robert Hitchcock and Jean Stover in charge of the decorations. The juniors wound up the year by cooperating with the seniors in sponsoring the JUNIORSENIOR MIXER. The guests enjoyed dancing in one gym and rollerfskating in the other. Refreshments were served to all who came, admission being given on the presentation of a receipt for dues paid. James Veen was the junior in charge of the affair. He distinf guished himself by wearing a tuxedo. 1:38a 33N Abbot. Arland Abraham, Wade Ailles, Patty Badaluco, Frank Batta,-zlin. John Beebe. Marolyn Hera. Ozie liylsma, Gertrude Boenimr.

In October, the sophomores organized their class, electing as their officers, Dick VanDuinen, president, Anne Clark, vicefpresidentg Virginia Bishop, secref tary, Marylyn Vollette, treasurer, Dorothy Skeels and Jack Dekker, student adyisersg Miss MacNaughton and Mr. Glenn Litton, faculty advisers. Early in the year they put on the Sophomore Skate Scramble, a rollerfskating party, in the boys' and girls' gyms. Anne Clark headed the party, aided by Lewis VVood, Mary Thomas, Gregory Baloyan, Jack Blake, Dorothy Perry, Eleanor Short, and jean Butler, As the sophomores and other students skated about the gym, balloons of green and yellow, the class colors, floated above. Through the cooperation of each sophomore the party was a great success. Later in the year, at the annual Kopper Karnival, SCDPHCDMO they had a booth which was managed by Ruth Schnitzeler, helped by lvlarian Landon, Marylyn Vollette, Don Goldberg, and Dick VanDuinen. Those who worked at the booth were kept busy by urging a continuous crowd to try their skill. After the Karnival another success could be counted by the class. The second and fourth Tuesdays of the month were meeting days. Throughout the year these meet' ings were attended by many, who showed great enf thusiasm. Because of the splendid cooperation between olhf cers and members the sophomores can say that their class has gained a name for itself, and has the ability to promote and project anything which they wish to undertake.

Young, Floyd Zeek, Lorena June FRESHMEN This year the little frogs in this big puddle of ours decided that they, too, would organize into a class like the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. After obtaining Mr. Doerr's permission, they at once started announcing in all the session rooms containing ninth graders, the first meeting. At an enthusiastic meet' ing which represented a good number of the fresh' men in South High, officers were elected for the coming year. They were Tom Ellsworth, president, Sylvia Meier, vicefpresidentg Grace Russo, secretary, Betty Myers, treasurer, Patricia Vander Leest, Peter Morello, Lois Wright, student advisers, Miss Maur' een Friar, Mr. Harold Buckham, faculty advisers. The main project of the year was to make money for parties and to meet other expenses by selling magic slates. They sold for ten and Hfteen cents each and about twelve dozen of each kind were sold. Although most of the members of the class sold them, Rooms 101 and 137 were headquarters and the slates were on sale there at all times. Meetings were held every other Tuesday, and though they all did not have as large an attendance as the first meeting, a fairly good number came out. Before long the committee chairmen and the com' mittees were chosen. Harold Clay was chosen pub' licity chairman, and serving on his committees were the following people: Mary Russo, Jane Witter, Harold Howey, Andrew Limber, and Shirley Peter' son. The pep committee with Bill McCowan as chairf man included Dorothy Poe, Joyce Meyers, Vern Austin, Jack Sutherland, and Geraldine Lovell. The duty of the art committee, headed by Carol Mom' melje, was to put on the boards posters announcing the meetings. They caused much attention because they were so attractive. Those on her committee were Matthew Jacobs, Shirley Sargeant, Josephine Giamonno, Roberta Nickerson, and Janice Stocks. Though they didn't have very much to do, Wilmetta Ferrell and her entertainment committee was right there to help in any place they were needed. Those serving with her were Emily De Graff, Barbara Brown, Steve Amato, and Ignatio D'Angelo. Those who saw that all the class doings were reported in the Tattler were Joyce Dennison, John Nienhuis, and Marie Tinny. Since no dues were charged this year, the members came because of interest and pleasure alone, the treasurer did not have dues to deal with, but when it came to keeping track of the magic slate money, she needed an assistant, who was William Blow. Since this was the first attempt at trying to organize all of the freshmen of South into one class, it really was very successful. We hope that the students who will continue coming in and filling our places will not wait so long again, before they feel the urge, and the need for an organization. a46x Albrecht.

Junior High This is the Way We- With the new schedules the BIOLOGY classes do not meet any earlier than the other classes. They are held in a very large, bright east room which gets whatever sun shines in our town. The walls are lined with cases of specimens of many kinds. Whitt a line place to browse and dream! But that is not a part of the curf riculum. A course in biology means concentration for the stuf dent. The class in FOODS is the only place where the student can eat his handywork, but it is in the machine shop where every boy seems to be strictly on his job. To run those big machines takes careful attention on the part of both instructor and pupil. The boys are always very much interested in producing things with their hands. The class in HISTORY is studying about the past, how they lived and what they accomplished. Let us hope that these lessons may help these boys and girls to be good citizens of the future, so that they may not make the mistakes of their ancesf tors.

South Union . ll4 41 Y Reviewing South High's 1940 football season is ccrf tainly a pleasant taskg however, at the beginning of the season things looked pretty gloomy . , . Mr. Gettings, our coach of many seasons, was gone, we had but two regulars back from the preceding year, and South was given little or no consideration whatsoever as a title contender. When these preseason predictions were made, however, one factor was not taken into consideraf tion. This factor was South's new coach and friend, Mr. Vanderbush. Due largely to coach Vanderbush's inspiring work, this group of inexperienced once mighty Trojans was destined to win every city game and to be hailed as the Champions of 1940. The three outstanding games of the year were the Ottawa, Tech, and Union tilts. In the Ottawa game South met everything that Lawson, Breen E99 Co. had to offer, and came out on the better side of a 7 to 6 score. The deciding game of the season was with the Wildcats of Tech High. On this occasion, South sub' dued the Green and White outfit 16 to 7 in spite of Tech's homefcoming crowd, a pancake supper, and generalissimo propaganda. With the city championship in its possession, South reached even greater heights when in the annual Turkey Day Classic they were vicf torious over the much heavier Red Hawk eleven, Before coming to South High, Mr. Vanderbush had been coach at Grandville and Davis Technical High Schools.

Throughout the season, the Patterf son men played good ball on several occasions, but through inconsistency, the end of the seaf son found them lodged in a threefway tie for fifth place, Starting off the season, the Trojan quintet subdued East Grand Rapids, 29 to 16g then came out of the short end of a 17 to 13 count with Holland Christian, following this up with a 24 to 18 victory over Creston. From then on, the following games were character' ized with poor marksmanship, and as a result the South victories were few and far between. First row: J hnson,' anpfe, Parker, Marsh, Grace, Richards, Vaughn, Coach Patterson Second row, tandingzjvaee, Parsh, Christensen, Mulder, Witman, Pellerito, Reed. esgljgs BASEBALL As in football, Coach Vanderbush took Mr. Gettings' place as baseball mentor, and again demonstrated his ability as a fine coach. The first baseball practices were called late in March. These practices were at Hrst carried on in the gym, but later when weather was permissible they transferred to Garfield Park. South's squad displayed a lot of spirit and pep this year which largely accounted for the success they achieved on the diamond. We were indeed fortunate to possess three capable hurlers in La Brenz, Camp, and Pellerito. South started the season off with a victory over the Red' hawks of Union. LaBrenz went the limit for the South end outfit, and allowed the West Siders but five scattered hits. Other teams to go down before the onslaught were J. C., Kalaf mazoo, Christian, Catholic, Creston, and Ot' tawa.

This year was no exception. The Trojan thinclads won every meet in which they participated and then topped it off in the city meet by defeating Ottawa Hills who backed into the championship last year. South started off the season this year with a decisive victory over five Grand Valley League schools. Other meets were with Catholic, Creston, and Ottawa. Ivlainstays on the squad were Wzird, in the hurdles and field eventsg Maier in the dashes and broad jump, Doran in the 440 and broad jump and De Stefano in the shotfput. A fine example of what work and practice will do for the athlete is demonstrated in the case of young Bob McCormick. Bob, a junior this year, went out for track for the first time this season as a high jumper. At first he knew practically nothing concerning the proper jumping technique, but as the weeks passed, he gained the proper timing and coordination, and as a result began to reap the benefits of his hours of painstaking eliort. The climax of it all came in the city meet when his persistence resulted in his jumping 5' 9 to gain not only first place in the event but first place in the respect of his coach, teammates, and opponents.

This fact alone cuts down to a very small group the number in the club. Those who win their major letters are not always allowed to enter the club because some of them balk at the initiaf tions which are very rigid and gruelling, but which prof vide a lot of fun for the students who do not have to participate in them. The boys are made to direct traffic, sing songs in various session rooms, and propose to in' numerable girls. The club was conducted in a very orderly fashion under the direction of Mr. Alvin Van' derbush, the new football coach. Rules are strict in regard to the number of meetings one must attend in order to remain in the club. If a member missed three 062 meetings in a row, he was not allowed to participate in any of the club's activities, such as the annual picture and the club dinner. This year the officers of the club were Harry Camp, presidentg Carroll Vanl-Iartesveldt, vicefpresidcntg and Louis Brand, secretaryftreasurer. Among the club's activities this year was one of the outstanding social events of the year, the Trojan Trot, at which Curt Bunting played. This dance was one of the most successful, both in attendance and in finances. The club sponsored a bowling booth at the Kopper Karnival, with Virgil Ward as one of the pinboys and the main attraction: they made enough to pay expenses besides a slight profit, This year was one of the quietest and least rowdy in the cluh's history. THANKS! The Varsity Club has taken the liberty and the opportunity to thank you for the splendid work that you have done in connection with the various athletic activities which have been carried on by this school. Without your assistance the teams would not have been able to take the field as well prepared to wage battle as it was. Your genius in directing the finances which were placed at your disposal resulted in many wise purchases and moves that helped immeasurably to keep the teams supplied with the little necessities which are vital to the success of any team. Few people realize that the work you do in connection with athletics requires as much if not more time than does your regular school work. Those engaged in athletics often have seen you working around the building as late as fivefthirty or six o'clock, striving to manage the teams' financial resources successfully. The club fully appreciates the great job you have done. Our thanks are out to you, Mr. Shillinger. Hats off to one swcll fellow who has done so much for us this year. al' 'k ir The work of Mr. Schopmeyer this year, as always, has been invaluable to the athletic association of South. In the capacity of eligibility manager, he has saved the school embarrassment on innumerable occasions. All year we hear, Are my credits all right this week? Will I be able to play Friday, or Why, I got all my credits last semester. He listens to such pleas, questions, and threats all year without comment and goes quietly on his way preventing the team from having any ineligible fellows on it. He is frequently seen running around school during, after, and before classes trying to keep all the fellows on the teams, The work of taking care of the physical examinations slips falls on him and the task of seeing that all the fellows are examined is also given to him. He sends out the eligibility lists before every contest and the necessary ones to the state association, sometimes burning the midnight oil to do it. Bef sides doing all of this he is the official ticketftaker. For all of this work he receives no official recognition, so it is that at this time the Varsity Club extends its heartfelt thanks to him. 'lr ir i' Tickets! Tickets! Tickets! And they all pass through the hands of Mr. Buckham, ticket manager of the athletic association. Four or five thousand tickets is the usual amount which must pass through his hands for one football game. This process involves keeping track of about fl5l,OOO. Every Friday night after school, Mr. Buckham is in his room settling up with the girls who sell the tickets in the old bookstore. Every Saturday he is at the foot' ball Held. Without his cooperation we would be unable to finance our athletic ventures. It is from the sale of tickets that the flashy uniforms that our players wear are purchased. Also from this fund is purchased the special equipment which helps to protect our players from serious injury. Therefore we feel sure that Mr. Buck' ham deserves our sincere thanks for the splendid cooperation he has given to the various athletic organizations of South High School. l l 2 xx.

SPECTRA First row: Kendrick, Shaver, MacAlpine, Vlfallick, Mange. Second row: Miller, Meier, Farrar. Third row: Brand, Banta. Buy your Spectra now, and save money! These were the words heard around South the last part of September. This year for the first time the school paper and the yearbook publications worked together in their campaigns in selling subscriptions. This single campaign proved very successful, for over 1,000 subscriptions were sold, this being 150 more than last year for the Spectra alone. The 1940 Spectra staff includes Jean Mac Alpine, editor, George Wallick, business manager, Walter Schroth, subscription manager, james Banta, faculty editor, Anita Shaver, senior editor, Clifford Mulvey, junior editor, Jean Butler, sophomore editor, Sylvia Meier, freshman editor, Louis Brand, sports editor, William Farrar, activities editor, assisted by Barbara Kendrick and Theo Oxford, and Richard Mange, chauffeur. Mrs. Isabelle W. Knapp is editorial ad' viser, and Miss Emilie Townsend is business adviser. In November five senior members of the Spectra staff and the advisers attended the National Schof lastic Press Association Convention in Chicago, where they gleaned many new ideas for the next publication. The junior members of the staff went to the Michigan Press Convention, Ann Arbor, May 2, 3, and 4, chaperoned and chauffeured by Mrs. Knapp in preparation for the 1941 Spectra. The covers were ordered in March, the dummy was fin' ished in April, the bids were all in and the printer chosen by May l. With the cooperation of the art department, independent photographers, and Leonard Ver Sluis, the designs and pictures for the pages were completed. Jack Van Heest made the design for the cover and Robert Meier drew the cartoons. The staff members had a grand time working to' gether during the year, but they were certainly glad to see the last word in the last page of copy com' pleted May 23.

To be an allfseeing eye for school activities and improvements was the chief object of the 1940 Tattler staff. Editorials, features, news stories, pic' tures, and cartoons in the twentyffive issues pub' lished rang out a desire for a better school with more courtesy, an expanded social program for the entire school, clean fun, and improved lighting conditions. Acting as organizers and producers, several mem' bers of the Tattler staff planned an unusual assembly to introduce the combined SpectrafTattler subscripf tion campaign. Members of the faculty assisted in portraying The Life of Molly, several students dramatized a part of the Wizard of Oz, and a few students and teachers explained methods of purchas- ing subscriptions. For 15 weeks English teachers col' lected installments in their classes. The assembly and the work of the circulation department resulted in selling 1,085 combined subscriptions. Stimulating courtesy throughout the school was accomplished by an extensive campaign initiated by this staff. Another editorial plan resulted in penny dances sponsored by the Student Council each noon. This l: Brady, Edwards. Seated: Seibers.

Extending a research begun in the home manage' ment department, editorials were printed on the front pages to center interest upon the facts found about lighting conditions in classrooms, at hall study tables, and in the library. As the crowning social event for the entire staff at midfyear, one of the members sponsored a hay' ride. The two special issues were a sixfpage Christmas issue in three colors and an April Fool's edition. The second semester the staff adopted the new nofcolumnfrule style. More pictures were used this year than ever before. New ideas and styles were learned and brought home to the entire staff by members who attended the national convention held in the fall in Chicago and the state convention held in the spring at the University of Michigan.

In January, Harvey Gverton, Virginia johner, Lois Stevens, Betty Holley, and Robert Hitchcock were initiated at Verna Grooters' home, with mock initiation stunts and games preceding and following the formal ceremonies. Public initiation, at which new members were inducted included Donna McDonald, Ronald Quill and Scroll Club The two thousandth chapter of Quill and Scroll, inf ternational honor society for high school journalists, was organized at South High school in April, 1939, with Gwen Everetts, Elaine Marsh, Betty Viergever, Thelma Hauer, Anna Mae Moose, Bernard Siebers, Florence Stephan, Dorice Ashby, and Verna Grooters as charter members. An impressive initiation ceremony was conducted at an assembly May 2, at which Rabbi Jerome Folkman gave the address. Crawford, Barbara Rodenhouse, Jean McAlpine, George Wallick, William Farrar, Anita Shaver, and James Banta, was conducted at an assembly April 30, at which the Rev.

Fourth row: Crawford, Banta, Farrar Hark, hark the lark! In this case the larks are members of the Mixed Chorus, the most advanced vocal organization at South High School. This group, directed by Miss Bessie Lindley, met in the auditorium every day the second hour, filling the air with melodious songs. The chorus is composed of students advanced from the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs when the director feels that they are capable of doing the more dilhcult work done by the memf bers. Every year this group combines with the other vocal organizations at the school to give an annual Christmas concert. This year's concert was held on December 14 and was composed of appropriate choral numbers, several vocal solos by Mella Schroeder and Jay St. john, and a piece by a Girls' Double Trio. The audience joined in the singing of several Christmas carols, and as a novelty an acf cordion solo by Robert Stringham was included in the repertoire. The concert culminated, as usual, in the singing of Rasbach's k'Trees. At this time all interest on the stage was centered on a huge everf green tree, whose beauty was intensified by unusual lighting effects. Among other activities the chorus furnished music for several assemblies and demonstrated the actual making of a record at a March meeting of the P,T.A. A recording of The Water Wheel will be played at many conventions this summer. The last group activity of the year was the singing of The Water Wheel by Miles and L'Sparkling Sunlight by Arditi in the allfcity choral festival held at South High on May l6. A double quartet from the chorus sang for the Old Residents' Banquet at the Rowe Hotel. The same group of students also sang for the P.T.A. banquet.

Litton director of South High School's instrumental music department, hum' ming tunes from the repertoire of his two orchestras and three hands. These organizations include the Junior Orchestra, Senior Orchestra, Junior Band, Senior Band, and Concert Bandg and they have worked hard all year to play in several concerts. The most important concert given by the Senior Orchestra and the Concert Band was the thirteenth annual spring concert on May 3, This year's recital was sponsored by the South High P.T.A., and the two organizations dedicated the performance to that group. Bef sides the regular band and orchestra, a woodwind quintet performed, Dorothy De Vries played a cello solo accompanied by the quintet, and a double clarinet quartet played. Among the many numbers on the program the audience seemed to prefer Marche Slave by Tschaikowski and several modern numbers played by the band. The junior groups and various soloists and ensembles Hnished their year by giving a recital the latter part of May. ln the time allotted to the junior Orchestra, several sections performed, a violin solo was played, and the entire group gave three selections. The junior Band played several folk tunes, and a clarinet soloist from the group played Orientale by Oui. In the last part of the recital the Senior Band played many numbers, and rendered several flute, trumpet, and clarinet solos and duets. The Senior Orchestra was busy this year, preparing for many concerts. Two programs were given to grade schools to create inter' est in playing. March 15 the Ludington Orchestra took part in a joint concert with South's group here. At this time Mrs. Mangrum played a ce rx Mr. Glenn B. Litton several violin solos. Mr. Donald D. Armstrong, supervisor of music, directed the comhined group. lvlemhers of the orchestra entertained these players at their private homes, and on Saturday the two orchestras went rollerfskating. Southls players were entertained at Ludington the weekfend of lvlay 24. Here the two organif :ations gave a concert similar to the one at South. Geraldine Te Pastte played Perpctuum lvlohileu hy Ries accompanied hy our orchestra, The Ludington and South groups held their traditional hasehall contest Saturf day and had a picnic in the afternoon. This exchange of concerts hetween the orchestras was unusual in that the Concert Band has done so in other years. At the allfcity orchestra festival held at the Central High Audif torium on lvlay 9. our orchestra played Aragonaise and ulntermezzol' hy Bizct and Beautiful G21lS1Il1Ckin hy Vona Suppi. The orchestra also played at various assemhlies, the senior play, class day, and graduation activities. The Concert Band was hy no means idle. ln the fall memhers spent much time working out new and novel formations for the foothall field, therehy succeeding in giving more color to the games hy their playing and marching. ln the first part of the school year, they gave a concert at Caledonia to encourage their instruf mental group. Later they demonstrated instruments for several grade schools, whose pupils come to South for that purpose, and played for many assemhlies, Un Mary' 23 the hand took part in an allfcity hand festival similar to the orchestra festival. The recital was held at the South High Auditorium, and the hand played 'LNlarche Slave hy Tschaikowski and 'lThree Negro Dancesl' hy Price. The hand ended its activities hy play' ing at the Soldiers' Home on lvlemorial Day. From the Ludington Sponsors' Club the South P.T.A. has received the idea to create a similar instituf tion at South. This group, if started, would he composed of interested parents of hand and orchestra memhers, who would help the organizations make a success of their musical activities. During the year the music department hought ten new hand uniforms, made recordings of several selecf tions, including several of the LudingtonfSouth concert here, and received sixteen new instruments. These instruments included two string hasses, four cellos, four violas, one pieeolo, one hass clarinet, and four snare drums. Various ensemhles have practiced and played out this year. These people practice voluntarily and are helped hy Mr, Litton outside of school hours. The busiest ensemhles were a clarinet quartet, a woodwind quintet, and a trumpet quartet. M1'. Litton has worked with an accordion group this year more or less as an experiment. Three memhers of the group played Maria Milfill hy Capua with the Concert Band as a numf her on the spring concert. lg ig cEiGdQ'l lf, snrmii. silk' 1 ' Spuanstra, Vniilrleest, Grootc-rs, Johnson.

Student To have a better and closer contact with all the stuf dents, the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade session rooms were admitted to the regular meetings to give suggestions and make reports of council activities to their home rooms. Cne of the first and most important duties of the council was to organize the hall system. During the summer the hall commissioner, president, and secretary with the help of the principal, Mr. Lester C. Doerr, sent letters to all students who would be capable of hold' ing a position on hall duty. Replies were received and an efficient system was set up the second day of school. Novel ideas were used by the assembly committee of the Council for the football and basketball pep assemf blies. Eight paid assemblies, programs ordered from a professional company, were presented throughout the year. At least one representative from each of the 27 sesf sion rooms, Council members, cooperated with the Anti' Tuberculosis society in selling bangles and pins, Establishing a permanent talent file to be referred to by clubs and organizations who plan special programs was a task tackled by the activities committee with Jack Van Heest and Virginia Johner as chairmen. Eliminaf tion contests for each grade were held and the winners were presented at the assembly. Three prizes of 555, 4.74n , 5 we eff Chairmen: First row: MaeDonald,Stevens, Baker, Eikenhout.

Christmas greetings were sent to 10 Westerii Michif gan high school student councils, and a box of candy was placed in the office for the faculty members. In conjunction with the hall duty system at noon and the school dances, the Council sponsored penny dances from 12:00 to 12:30 each day in the gym. Louise Eikenhout, chairman, made arrangements for dancing instruction and a school dance band. Clennys Baker was student chairman for the annual Kopper Karnival, jointly sponsored by the Student Council and the Parent Teachers Association. Yvonne Rcsignol won the Sl prize given for the most approprif ate costume for the Gay Ninetiesn theme. Cleaner halls and more tidy session rooms were the result of the CleanfUp campaign headed by Henry Katip. Two hundred stickers were awarded and banners were given to session rooms 226, ll9, and lOl. File cards were printed so tabulation of the points given for extrafcurricular work during the sophomore, junior, and senior years could be done more easily and efficiently.

The Ushers Club, an organization sponsored by the Council, passed ballots. With the balance in the treasury the council had a sign made, so that visitors could distinguish the office, and gave S75 to the student loan fund.

A shout from Carroll van Hartesveldt, president of the Ushers Club, quickly awakens each usher to his duty. In the balcony, Keith Sharpe, vicefpresident, carries out the presidents orders. Under the sponsorship of the Student Council, this beneficial organization inaugurated its second year of existence. Under the guidance of Paul Harding john' son, adviser from the Student Council, the Ushers Club got off to an early start. Boys of outstanding character and dependability were selected for posif tions from the senior class. These same boys ushered at assemblies and for various other occasions through' out the year. Because the club was sponsored by the Student Council and functioned for the good of the school, no dues were charged. Early in the year a new system of entering the assemblies was discussed in one of the meetings and positions were assigned to each and every usher, This organization is new this year, and during the many assemblies of all types, the boys have proved very efficient, and the work of the club is expected to be carried on in the future with even a more marked degree of success.

Above the babble of innumerable loud voices, the comf manding stentorian tones of George Wallick, president of the club, are heard, and after a long wait the meeting which is always held at noon during the last of the lunch hour comes to order. First the roll call is taken, all absentees are forthf with charged a nickleg then the old business is brought to the attention of the clubg and finally, the new ideas are brought forth, dusted off, and usually referred to a commit' tee created for that purpose. This year the club, while it did not engage in many activities, did very well as a whole and was extremely successful Hnancially. The activities of the year included a wellfattended party of which Wally Schroth was chairman. A soft drink booth Officers: Meyers, wauicky Boudier, Keller. at the Kopper Karnival was so successful that the club decided to waive all dues for the year. The annual honor assembly, at which time all new members elect were publicly initiated, was held. New members were added twice during the year to the eleven old members, once in February and once again in May. This year the Honor Assembly was handled in a slightly different way from that of the past and no ceremonial candles were lighted. Rev. Philip jenkins gave the address which was extremely interesting and which was concluded by a prayer. This year, since Miss Lambert had retired, Miss Sedelbauer became the adviser of the club and under her able direction accomplished much. Miss Sedelbauer will not be in South next year and in all probability Miss Stocking will have charge of the club. Senior Honor Society The Junior Honor Society holds its meetings once a month. ln February we initiated thirteen new members into the society with a party. At the Kopper Karnival we had the Triple Shine Shop which included shoe shining, fingernail polishing, and wirefbending of names. In May, an assembly was held for all the members when the new members received the membership cards.

Josephine Peterson and Mr. Ludwig Swenson, is composed of a body of students who strive to converse in the French language. The club also serves to acquaint its members with the characteristics of the French nation, its customs, and its people. The meetings are held every other Wediiesdziy, at which time the members enjoy French stories, poems, dialogues, plays and songs. Often they engage in the playing of French games. They also tell jokes and riddles in French. The club earned money to buy new French records by selling ice cream sandwiches after school. They had a Christmas party Decemf ber 30. At the Kopper Karnival they sold chocolate eclaires and potato chips for which they received adef quate returns. They Hnished the year's activities with a picnic at Fallasburg Park june 9 where they enjoyed many outdoor sports. In September the new oilicers of La Coterie Franf caise were chosen.

The club is started immediately after school begins and continues with its activities throughout the whole year with possibly more varied activities and programs than any other club in the whole school. Under the able direction of Miss Wilsivii, the head of the Latin department, the club conducts its very orderly meetings every Vxfednesday afternoon after school. Among the activities of this club were included, besides many programs designed to make honey for the club, many social affairs put on for the purpose of bringing more pleasure to its members. The first of these program meetings was a potfluck supper which was held at the home of Mary Lou Lieticrs. In February a cake sale was held in order to earn the necessary money for the page in the Spectra and, along with this same idea, the club held a checking concession at the Kopper Karnival in conjunction with the Red Cross Club. To finish the season the program meeting to which the parents of the members were invited was held the evening of May ltlth in Room 102. At this time several plays were given and some songs were sung in Latin. Une of the speakers at a program meeting was Miss Randall who gave a talk on her trip through Italy. At the other meetings, members ot the club entertained with talks and discussions on Roman life includf ing the telling of time, school life, political, social and home life, and finally a discussion of the homes themselves. Other discussions inf eluded the various wars fought and the various games in which they inf dulged. lfirst row: Smith, Oxford, Iii-signol, Smith, Miss NYilson, Petit, Lit-smun, Ellsworth, VVhitforil.

Newly organized this year, its policy has been to promote the students' interest in world affairs and through interesting discussions to make clearer the problems that now confront the governments of this world. In carrying out this policy the meetings were held once every other week, the intervening period being for the purpose of preparation for the next meeting on Thursday. The programs were all prepared by members of the club and given by them, the subjects including the Revolution of Nihilismv by Hermann Rauschning which was reviewed by John Rector: iklj21D'AmCflC11I1 Rela' tions and Declaration of Panama by Rosetta Browng Reciprocity by Ellen Holsteing two discussions involvf ing incidents which had happened recently in world aifairsg the National Labor Relations Board activitiesg and a review of the book, Union Now by Clarence Streit, given by Ray Wortmaii. The social entertainment was taken care of by a party given at Ellen Holstein's while more is planned for the last two weeks of school. The club, which is advised by Miss Elisabeth Knapp, has been considering the idea of joining the Carnegie Peace Foundation which is composed of groups, just such as this whose main objective is world peace, but nothing definite has been decided about it yeti The idea is something that can be looked forward to as a possibility in the not so distant future. 018210 First row: Langdon, Schnitzler, Fuller, Fisher, Goldberg, VVood, Stewart, Geluso.

Adolescents Amici Latmaev is a strange phrase taken from a now dead language. Of course not very many of us know exactly what it means, but to the members of the junior Latin Club, newly organized at South, it is an entirely familiar phrase. Freely translated it means Young Friend of Latin, which aptly applies to the members because the club is formed from the younger students of Latin who have taken from one to three semesters of this language. The main purpose of this club is to interest the younger students in the Romans and their lives and to provide some small measure of interest for those who are not yet eligible to the senior club. This program is carried out by reports given by members of the club and by songs and plays which are given in the original Latin. In this respect it much resembles the senior group. Money is of course important to any organization in order to carry out its various activities and this club is no exception. The members sold ice cream sandwiches after school and operated at the Kopper Karnival a booth which sold hot, highly flavored confections, known as carameled apples. Numbered among their expenses was the cost of their page in the Spectra. They do not follow the example of the senior group in that oflicers were elected for both semesters. The first officers this club ever chose were as follows: jean Butler, presidentg Don Goldberg, vicefpresidentg Jean Ginelich, secretaryg Robert Babcock, treasurer. The club, even though it was newly organized, was certainly well attended during its first year of existence. 11839 First row, left to right: Verna Grooters, Di-lt-so D'Areani1i-lo, Ann Cooper, Miss 7 Ss-ch-lliauer, Patrieiai Barnes, Barbara St-hler, Dorothy Dickie, Sereta Morton, Theo Oxford.

Another Meeting? u85n Math Club A great seething avalanche of South High students, Don Howick, the gentleman lone wolf in the fore, descends upon Room 323 Friday night and Mr. Schopmeyer is almost swamped. He shouts for order, but pandemonium reigns until four or five minutes later when the club realizes that it is wasting precious time and settles down to go through the business of the day. The secretary calls roll, and after figuring the num' bers in six or seven different ways, arithmetically, algebraically, geometrically, a total is reached which has been on the average never more than 15 or 16. The club this year held its meetings every other Friday. During the course of the year, the meetings were addressed by Mr. Mulder, who gave an interesting talk on the derivation of the term horse power in applif cation to the automotive industry, and Mr. Litton, who talked on the application of mathematics in relation to the everfexpanding field of aeronautical engineering and navigation. Also included in this lecture was a brief summary of the advancement and improvement in the design of planes. Mr. Schopmeyer, the new sponsor of the club also gave a series of short speeches throughout the year. He was selected sponsor after it was found that Miss Dockery, who had formerly taken care of the club, would be unable to do so this year. Mr. Schopmeyer has done much to make the club a success, and his efforts have been appreciated by all who were associated with the club. One of the most interesting of his lectures was given a short time ago. It was on the subject of the development of math' ematics throughout the years in the various schools. He dealt with the change in teaching methods through' out the intervening years thereby making learning much easier for the pupils of today. Among the other activities the club conducted dur' ing the year was the fortuneftelling booth at the Kopper Karnival, which netted not a large proit, but enough to make the immediate expenses.

Boys, that ones sure built right. You might think it was a monkey or a pretty girl if you were just a layman, of course, and not initiated into the rigors of model building. But if you happen to be a member of the Model Club you would immediately know that the speaker was referring to a model airplane. Possibly it might even be one of those new gas models several members of the club are now building. Of course they have built many types of planes besides the above mentioned one and their efforts are not alone confined to the field of aviation models, for they have also built many models in other iields, such as boats and train models. The club, under the leadership of Mr. Harold Buckham, held many events in which the club members participated. One of the first of these was a contest for model airplanes held near the beginning of the semester. Later in the year the club at its various meetings had interesting demonstrations of various models, techniques and processes, and during the early weeks of spring sponsored motion pictures in the last half of the noon hour which dealt with subjects the club thought would be interesting and beneficial to the students. They also created a display which was very unusual in many ways and which aroused a good deal of interest among the body of students. They later will enter the Herald contest with a group of models and strive to bring back the championship to South. The club raised money this year by an unusual booth at the Kopper Karnival.

The cluh is composed of all the nonfcommissioned officers, or the men from the rank of corporal to that of' first sergeant, and the commissioned officers, or those men from the rank of second lieutenant up to captain, which happens to he the highest rank in the school at present. The nonfcommissioned officers, however, are the only ones eligihle for oflice, and the commissioned officers act as advisers. This year the cluh was formed from the men of hoth companies as finally decided. Since this is the first year South has had two companies, something of a prohlem developed, hut it was finally handled in a satisfactory manner. The officers of this new cluh were jim Veen, president: Bill Garhrecht, vice' president and treasurer: Kathleen Tappe, secretary.

Hi-Y Club The club this year was more popular and the meetings better attended than in many previous years, posf sibly for the simple reason that the club held innumerable parties and hayfrides this year.

The club started its activities at the football games by decorating the goal posts before each game. The council meetings were important parts of the yearls program and included in these were the regular county council meetings, the social officer training conference and the Third National I-iifY Congress, the delegate from South being Howard Tuthill. At the meetings, many good speakers were present, among them being Dr. Lustig, Mr. K. Lancaster and Mr. W'ittbeck. The club operated the bowling booth at the Kopper Karnival in collaboration with the Varsity Club, making about seven dollars. The club this year was conducted well with only one fault to be found. When the picture was taken, about four times as many fellows were present as had been coming to the meetings. Altogether it was a sucf eessful year. 14 9 First row: Dykstra, Trim-bor, Atkinson, liantv, Mr. Fisher, Miss Wyat, Dickerson Doran, Rnmn, Rotoroek, Fisher, Palmer.

They could he of immeasurable help to us, for it is the purpose of this club to teach its members the fundamentals and certain intricacies of law and to give them a working knowledge and understanding of the purpose and interpretation of them. The club this year elected oiiicers for each semester. The ofiicers during the first semester were jack Dickerson, presidentg Jack Doran, vicefpresidentg Martha Rump, secretary: and Betty Rochrock, treasurer.

These officers carried on eiliciently the work ot the club, ' The meetings have been held every other Thursday in Room 326 and the club has been entertained at the various meetings by interesting speakers who came hoth from this city and out of town. However, many of the speeches were given by the members themselves. Among the other activities ot the club was a very successful booth which was conducted at the Kopper Karnival. This booth consisted ot' tossing pennies at a marked board and dropping them in a bucket of water in which a small jar was placed. An assembly was also planned with the assistance of Miss Wyzitt at which his Honor, Judge Higbee spoke. Also the whole club gave a party at Mr. Fishers farm, which is located about two miles west of Solon Center.

Red CFOSS I Serve, the motto of the junior Red Cross was most certainly carried out to the fullest extent of the word this year hy our present Red Cross Cluh. The Cluh memhers participated in more diversified activity than in any other year. During the fall roll call, they held two assemhlies to encourage the students to enroll, and later a third assemhly at which a very interesting lecture on Waiter Safetyu was delivered hy Commodore Longfellow. At Thanksgiving time the cluh sent out many haskets to deserving people, and when the European War started they sent clothing to the war refugees. The cluh had varied sales during the year to raise money for their activities, and for the purpose of sending their delegation to the national convention which was held at Vslashington, D. C., during the first part of Mzly. Our delegates to this convention were Verna Arnold, president of the cluh: Miss Lindsley, the adviser. Henry Katip also went, hut he was not sponsored hy the cluh. This year the cluh won a hanner for having the hest attendance at the city council meetings, and sponsored sport programs for the patients of the lvlary Free Bed Home and at the Lutheran Home for the Aged. Miss Ferrand acted as cofadviser of the cluh and did a good share of the work. Sf,-atetl: Lyon, Naum, Shave-r. Standing: DeKoster, Wentworth. Debates Resolved, that the federal government should own and operate the railroadsl' was the suhject of the dehates in which our school competed this year. In the first two debates South took the affirmative and in the last two, the negative. We started the season hy defeating Ottawa and lvluskegon, hut then we seemed to hog down and lost our last two dehates to Central and Benton Harhor. Also included in the schedf ulc was a series of practice dehates and a dehate tournament held at Flint. The first four dehates are considered pref liminary and all schools winning three of these are entitled to go on into the next series of tournaments in which all schools hut two are eliminated, These two meet for the state championship at Hill auditorium. South lost two of their first four dehates, so they did not qualify for these tournaf ments. Lorraine Naum was considered hy Mr. DeKostcr to he the hest dehater on the team during the whole year, although Anita Shaver showed the most improvement. First row: E.

Home Room The Home Room Council is a very inf formal group which meets every two weeks to conduct the business of the senior session room. In the fall they conducted a small campaign within the session room to keep the room clean. Desk inspection was held once a week. During the year on all the holidays, the council gaily decorated the room. Some of the most clever decorations were those at Easter, consisting of many gay ribbons of spring colors festivally draped about the session room, and April Fool's Day, having a combination of all the decoraf tions for all occasions. Cthers were Christ' mas, VVashington's and Lincoln's birthdays. At Christmas, members gave a party at record and George Wallick and Louis Brand played Santa Claus. The magician show at the Kopper Karnif val was sponsored by the council. This organization collected many from the generous donations of the senior body for two new pencil sharpeners. a 96:1 Front row: Holstein, Rettinhouse, Hamilton, Brown.

Pictures are submitted every two weeks on subjects decided upon at the beginning of the year. Some of the members go out in groups to take their pictures and almost all of them do their own developing and printf ing. Going to the dark room, Camera Club members mutter to their friends as an explanation for staying after school. The dark room is equipped with developing and printing apparatus and the use of it is avail' able to members of the club, Several times during the year all of the members have gone out together and taken pictures. They are also looking forward to hikes for that purpose as soon as the weather permits. The members have been entertained at several parties, so you see it is not all work, but then when you are as interested in your work as these Camera Club members are, even the work is fun. The club showed comedy pictures at the Kopper Karnival. Standing: 1VlacCaulr-y, Arnold. Si-atc-fl: Atkinson, Stocking, VVortman 'ea 'T' V km Alumni ln its sixth year, the Alumni association carried on activities that have already become traditional, under a board that strengthened its financial security and efiicient organization. Early weeks of the fall were devoted to producing the Shambles program November HJ under Betty Perry and Herb Hofmann, chairmen, with the script written by Catherine lvlanning Burris. An Alumni Pioneer edited by Gladys Disbrow Fowle was mailed to every graduate for whom an address was known. Carroll Highstrete, retiring president, conducted all the Homecoming ceremonies, including not only the Shambles, but also dedication of the new flagpole at thc JeffersonfHall street corner, and presentation of the faculty cup to Miss Thelma Anton. Saturdayis l-lomecoming game November II with Davis Tech, with thousands of alumni in the stands, determined the city championship for South with a l6f7 victory. That eveningis dance at the Rowe was profitably managed this year under Douglas Wzilker, by the Alumni associaf tion itself for the first time. New board members elected at the Shambles included Dorothy Borden Potter, Nella Blacltport, Pauline Baragar, Harold Bosseher, and Stuart MeCrstth. At a banquet early in December, after all outgoing officers had given complete reports, which confirmed the impression that the association is at last a financially sound and efficient organization, new officers were chosen: Douglas Vxfalleer. presidentg John Starr, vicefpresident: Mtnses Hattem. treasurer: Gladys Fowle, recording secretary: Nella Blaekport, corresponding secretary: Stuart Mc' Crath, business manager. Spring activities included the sixth annual vocational counseling service under direction of Amelia Vogel' sang Rosenberg and Thelma Anton, at which 30 vocations were discussed by alumni members at conferences with juniors and seniors at the school. A picnic in june for graduates of 1940, and an informal dance and reception following class day for the new alumniftofbe Hnished the school year, 44 W 4 ' ' if The P.T.A. The P.T.A. of South High School, under the leadership of Mrs, Williaiii A. Goldberg for l939fl94O, had a total membership of 382. Other ofhcers were mother vicefpresident, Mrs. Hazel Meierg father vicefpresif dent, Mr. Harry Stringhamg teacher vicefpresident, Miss Laura Wilson, recording secretary, Mrs. Homer Diefenbakerg corresponding secretary, Mrs. Thomas G. Buchang and treasurer, Mrs. J. W. Marcusse. The cooperation of a fine executive hoard made this year a very successful one, not only from the stand' point of a large membership, but in real accomplishment. It sponsored four Camp Fire groups, classes in adult education, a home hygiene course, and a placement bureau through which many young people found needed employment. Our dramatic group put on a play from which they realized a profit of 5135, all of which was put into the South High Student Loan Fund. The only other moneyfmaking project was the Kopper Karnival, from which our organization realized about 33110, A group of members met and made seventeen pairs of pajamas, which, with many other new garments, were contributed to the Needlework Guild and our own community welfare. Each month S5 was given to buy milk, vegetables, and fruit for families in need. We paid the expenses of one boy to Lansing for a week at the Vxfolverine Boys' State. The annual banquet in February and the mother and daughter tea in May were outstanding social events of the year. Mrs. E. J. Holstein has been elected president of the organization for next year. at 99 u -',-- , Sw k- K Y ,' gf-ewzw mm ,,-f- my ,, -' K L..' , gf? ,- ,w .
