The Varsity club was composed of boys who won their major letters in various sports through- out their high school career. This honorary organization had as its aims the betterment of scholarship, excellence in athletics, and the betterment of feeling among the athletes. Their yearly social affair, The Trojan Trot, was successfully held in the boys' gym the evening of llarch 6 with Dick Snook's orchestra supply- ing the music. The members made plans to write to former Varsity club members now in the service of their country and sold paddle pops at basketball games. Rlr. Alvin Vanderbush, the former football and baseball coach, and adviser for the Varsity club, received his call in January to go to Prince- ton university to attend officers' training school prior to active sea duty.

The Senior Honor society represented that group of students who recognized the importance of study as a basis for making the country in which they lived a working, breathing democracy. The qualifications for membership characterized fairly well the purpose and ideals of the club. Each member, chosen by the faculty, besides maintaing high scholarship and good citizenship, needed to be dependable, honest, and have a pleasing personality and initiative. The four ideals of the club, leadership, scholar- ship, service, and character, were brought out in the formal initiations of new members which were held twice yearly. Under the supervision of Bliss Elisabeth Knapp, the club sent letters to alumni of South who were in the armed services. The chairman of the activity was Al Koning, while llarjorie Toogood, Vern Austin, and Eleanor Klein helped to keep a record of the correspondence. The members also took charge of classrooms and study halls when the faculty thought it necessary. An extensive campaign to promote returning books to the library was conducted, with Eleanor Klein in charge of the drive. The ofiicers for the year were lVarren Spry, presidentg Doris Diedrich, vice-presidentg Ar- dythe Swartz, secretary: All Koning, treasurerg and Bliss Knapp, adviser. -ueixhnsraasmmmiu-.--sworn:-mez1.'-11-umai,g,...K 1-iusrmv me snmmgnqn COMMERCIAL LAW CLUB First Row lkneelinql: Homer Hall, Eldron Brown, Shirley Elenbaas, Helen Chandler, Norma Demeresr, Helen Belden, Sue Oxford, Loraine Kruys-Voorberge, Margaret Switous, LaVerne Karrip, Dorothy Bradshaw, Lucille Fabbro, Peggy Sandro, Gerald Anderson, Kent Baclcart.

Because this group contained a large majority of seniors, the club decided as its ob- jective to help the senior class and South High school in any activity which they might attempt. At the meetings, which were held during the first and third weeks of the activity period, trick decisions of law were discussed. versions were given on difficult case problems, and any subjects which had remained unsettled in class were ex- plained by hir. Fisher. Rloney for the treasury was earned by several successful sales after school. The rise in membership this year was ac- counted for by the increasing popularity of com- mercial law as a class, and by the increasing de- mand on the public to understand the elements of contracts, and relationship of partners, the liability of sellers, and the essentials of negotiable instruments. Despite the large size of the club, it was Cap- ably led by Jack Baughman, president, and Bud Laramy, vice-president. Pat Bell acted as secre- tary-treasurer the first semester and Juanita lacovoni, the second semester. ---2-m V-Y-, -- -fan--. m-1-.un..o-am THESPIANS Row One lsitlinq on lloorl: Jo Ellen Litton, Phyllis Perry, Georgian Swilous, Marqarei Krueger, Sylvia Meier, Beth Grirn, Lois Writ, Margaret Switous, Barbara Brown, Pal Stahl.

It was also a year of many innovations and dissen- sions from the regular scheduled events. The senior play, of which a large pa1't of the cast was composed of Thespian members, was given in December. The Thespian members made sets, helped in the costuming, and applied makeup. On VVashington's birthday, Thespians pre- sented a patriotic skit to show how money was raised for the wars in which this country has en- gaged. For the bomber show, Thespian members wrote, directed and acted in a show entitled, A Dollar Bill Talks . These were merely preliminary to the principle activity, the Thespian plays. ln former years, one long play had been given, but this year plans were made to produce four short plays, Sham , Submerged , Tobacco Alleyn, and The Booru. These plays were to be presented at South and at other schools. Thespians pins were also purchased in the second semester to identify members. Odicers for the year were Jack Zuiderveld, presidentg Shirley Peterson, vice-president: Doris Diedrich, secretary: Joyce Edson, treasurer: and Bliss La Barge, adviser. Gerry Lovell acted as secretary during the second semester. -1-s-fuse-an-4n:.:.:-xmas.,1.,,,.aaLmnms.nsuai..,.:-.A we-1 emu ia-.-neealxr-i .rf-msn. if if if - 5' A Jawing af Joppe's, A course in Superman.

For the first game, the Trojans traveled to Big Rapids and piled up a 13-0 decision over a smallbut scrappy team. In this game the boys came up to typical Trojan standard. The next game with Cres- ton was postponed because of a muddy Field and bad weather conditions. Catholic Central was next to meet the Trojans, and after two weeks of practice, the squad was ready, willing, and able to take a victory over the city rival. An intercepted pass in this game proved disastrous, and in the final moments of the game a futile attack was staged to score, but the game ended 13-6 with the Trojans on the short end.

Prospects looked very bright and hopes for a championship were running high in the South High camp. Opening the season at Holland. South lost to Holland Christian, 2-l-21. These two teams have played a total of six games in the last six years. with South winning honors in three of these contests. South travelled all the way to Saginaw for their next game. only to be soundly trounced by the state champions of last year. After two disastrous starts, the Trojans turned their sights on their first city league foe, Ottawa. Due to inability to hit the basket and lack of team play, South lost 34-38. The Red and Blue came to lite in their next en- counter to wallop Central 41-26. Victory was shortlived. however, and South bowed to a tall Creston team 27-23. Resuming their winning ways, the Trojans won three straight games. lfnion was the first victim. 37-31. The game was of the nip-and-tuck variety right up until the closing minutes. Both teams played topnotch basketball throughout the contest. Tech. recognized as the team to beat in the city Kornoelie La Manga SHETBHLL title race, was knocked ofzf by the South cagers in a thrilling over-time struggle 35-33. For the first four minutes there was no score in the game. The game was a battle all the way through. Riding high now, South proceeded to administer a clean-cut victory over Catholic Central SS-33. By beating Catholic. South managed to stay among the leaders in the local prep race, because Central and Davis Tech also subdued their foes to bring about a three-way tie for league leadership. ln the Catholic Central game. Bob Keena and Al Koning had played their last game. Coach Patter- son had a big job trying to find a new combination to equal their power and speed. He wasn't entirely successful- and South lost to a supposedly weak Christian team, and lost again the following week to Qttawa, Improvement was shown, however, in the game against Central the following week. Although the Trojans lost -l-5--l-2. they had held the lead through- out the early stages of the game. The next game was also a loss, this time to Ottawa, with a score of 35-21.

XVith the city championship going to Davis Tech and South lodged in a tie with Ottawa for fourth place. the team began pointing toward the city t0L1I'- naments as a chance to gain revenge for previous de- feats. The Trojans drew the Central Hilltoppers as opponents in their first contest. The game, al- though it ended in defeat for the Trojans. was a very fast-action encounter and proved to be a good climax for the season. South completed the league season with five wins and six losses. The team scored a grand total of 437 points to their opponents 473 points.

The boys returning from last years' squad were well dis- trihuted among the many events. The veterans showed good form and several new hoys showed promising ability in their events. Pop Churm. widely known as an expert in track coaching, set to work to build a team that would add to his string of championships and again put South into top place among the local track teams. K T EAMJ The first practices were held in the halls of the school and later, the weather permitting, the squad was taken outside to the regular trainging place. South field. South was faced with a tough schedule starting April 16, with Ottawa and ending llay 28. ln the first week, against a green squad from Ottawa, the South thinclads overwhelmingly defeated the ln- dians 71-53. - Because of last years' disappointing season, this years' track squad was keyed up for revenge and had high hopes for bringing the championship back to South.

BASEBALL TEAM Coach Jake Brady took over the reins of the South High baseball squad in the absence of Coach Al Vanderbush, and in late llarch attempted to build a winning team out of four returning letter- men and about 30 new boys. First drills were held in the gym, but later Coach Brady took the squad to Garfield Park to practice. Bradfs big problem was to build an outfield and a capable pitching staff. Competition was strong in both, so he was assured of good showing in those lines. The team had a big task before them to defend the title which the team of 1924 had captured. This year's season promised to be a close and a very interesting race for top honors. ln the early Anderson stages of the season, it looked as if the title would be fought for chiefly between South, Creston, and Catholic. South got off to a fast start by taking Christian 15-2 and Central -l-l. The next game was dropped to Creston in 12 inning, 6-5. Linion then tripped South 7--l-. South then pulled out of their slump by beating Tech. S-2. Coach Brady had two objectives for baseball this year. One was to make a winning ball club which would bring a championship to South. The other was to put the boys in shape for the armed forces for which many would leave immediately following graduation. Taylor George Bone-mer, Coach De Koster, Mitchell Laharn, Bob Catlin. Row Row Row Row FOOTBALL MANAGERS Being a manager of a football team was a job which required almost as much work as the actual playing. Their glory was not as great nor their efforts as noticeable, but each fellow who earned a major letter as a football manager was proud of it as a symbol of the great amount ot work he had done. They were indespensable to the team, and the success of a game was partially due to their manage- ment. ...Y - --.-..f.f-V-'L.g..a--, ,. X .

'Wi have ll!! tix rj' lx 1 Hi H M H Il Milt NIH 1 During the past two semesters, the girls sports activities of South High were greatly affected by the war. Because the shortage of instructors gave lliss lna Krurnheuer the full responsibility of the girls' gym classes, eleventh and twelveth grade girls were unable to have physical education. Although archery was held during the activity period, all other after school sports were suspended. This year the annual girls' meet was again discontinued because of the ingreased war re- sponsibilities of lliss Krumheuer, who took an active part in the city's war program by teach- ing first aid. Gym classes for grades seven through ten were held twice a week. Que day was de- voted to sports and the other to rhythm work. Each class was divided into squads. From each squad girls were chosen to see that the equip- ment for the various sports was properly dis- tributed. These sports consisted of badminton, table tennis, paddle tennis, deck tennis, bowl- ing and volley ball. ln the rhythm classes the Volleyball Bowling Badminton Archery :':l:4- 5JsLfH E y S girls we1'e taught early American folk dances that promoted grace of movement. By intro- ducing calisrhenies into the girls' athletic pro- gram, Bliss Krumheuer taught coordination and good posture. The girls who went out for archery this year were seriously handicapped because of the extremely long winter. During this time, their activities were confined to the girls' gym where they were only able to shoot at a dis- tance of 20 yards. W7hen spring came, they began practice at the football field to get in trim for competition with archers all over the United States. This competition was carried on by a very unusual system. Every school held its own contest, the results of which were sent by mail to various schools in many differ- ent states throughout the country. The South High archers have always been able to main- tain a good average even though they compete with girls from warm Souther states where archery practice is held out of doors all year around.

Teachers of this expansive field have been given the job of molding the constant in- quisitiveness of youth into analytical thinking and they are not without success. The study of chemistry and physics teaches fun- damental facts underlying the behavior and uses of the substances composing the universe and the layvs by which they are governed. Accordingly. biology, physiology, and general science take their individual places in this scientific world. y Miss Louise Schweitzer, chemistry teacher, made another trip to Klexico in December. returning with a slight tan and extraordinary tales of her adven- tures, many of which she shared with friends and interested groups to whom she lectured.

Kliss llary Honecker, wh, taught underclass mathematics, left 5.2111 at the beginning of the second senftstt. to be employed by the Llnited States Army lVeather school. The arts, creating beauty conceived of mind and hands, have given man the greatest joy he has ever known. Fortunate are students who have the opportunity to develop their talents under the direction of skilled instructors. Senior high art classes, instructed by lliss Alice Vevia, were busy throughout the year supplying decorations for the senior session room, painting posters for innumerable ac- tivities, and painting scenery for the senior play. Bliss Vevia, Bliss Helen YVilliams, and Kliss Kathreen lfmery, composing the art de- partment faculty, encouraged self expression in all work while giving lessons in watercolor, charcoal sketching, oil painting, and various other projects. Always considerate of the school's need for art work, they readily com- plied to the call for their services. Klr. Glenn Litton, in charge of the instru- mental department, can be caught at any mo- ment while conducting or telling the history of a symphony and its composer with a twinkle in his eye, for he loves the music he is teach- ing as well as his pupils enjoy being the re- cipients of his instruction. He gave private lessons and conducted the junior and senior bands and orchestras, and the concert bands which provided music at football games, assemblies, and special programs. Lyric poetry set and sung to music can best describe the melodious voices of Bliss Bessie Lindley's mixed choruses and glee clubs. The annual Christmas concert, pre- sented by llliss Lindley and the vocal depart- ment, Was given for students and friends of South in two performances. llrliss Lindley led the Alma lllater and Varsity in pep assemblies and the Star-Spangled Banner which was sung at nearly all student gather ings in the auditorium. Dramatics and public speaking find their place in the arts with Kliss Noreen Laliiarg: giving not just her classes but the entire school the benefit of the adroitness of her artistry. Bliss Laldarge directed the senior play, The Poor Nut , Thespian Club productions of which she is sponsor. the Flying Fortress cam- paign, and prepared dramatic projects when- ever they were needed. The home economics group combines prac- tical evperience with the art of expression. Xliss Laura Kloore divided her time between Red Cross work, supervising the lunch room, and teaching clothing: while lliss Sue Gross, personal regimen and clothing instructor, found her greatest pleasure in out-of-doors activity. Kliss Dorothy DaLee, home economics teach- er, responded to the call to the colors and joined the lVaves at the termination of the first semeste1'. llembers of the faculty who teach business subjects endeavor to prepare students to as- sume positions upon completion of their high school courses with typing, bookkeeping, short- hand, and retail selling the subjects taught in the department. lliss Virginia Wfyatt, shorthand instructor, left South in February to become the bride of Second-lieutenant Alfred Hewitt. The faculty, best and truest friends of every student, cease to give us their protection and guidance upon completion of the high school courses, but the ideals and knowledge which they have left in heart and mind will always be secure. lt is for the passing parade of students to carry the torch which the men and women of this and thousands of other high schools have held through the ages, and by doing so, have lighted the way for educa- tion throughout the world.

The annual J-Hop, this year called Cupid's Cut-Up, was presented in the boy's gym on February 13. The scarlet decorations gave indication of the brightly colored sparkle which made up junior spirit. Several mem- bers saw red when it was decided that fifty Cents dues would be collected. How- ever. other activities brought the class Hout of the redo and definitely put them in the pink . These included the organization of the juniors, paddle pop sales, and the Junior-Senior Prom. ,,....A .mp 60 .NX J 2 .as pw M. Bouferse T. Beurerse an ox Brady M Brinlc B. Bronlcema U ll M. Allman R.

Instead of aiming threatening snowballs at the enemy, this patriotc group strived to turn their snowballs into actual bombs by giving a box social where United States savings stamps were the price of admission. Not stopping with this, how- ever, they worked continuously on, buy- ing bonds and stamps in an all out effort for victory. Under the capable leadership of their class officers, these energetic youngsters presented the I-Iayloft Hop on No- vember l3, in place of the traditional sophomore Skate Scramble . Yvorking happily together, this talented group affected a well-planned evening of en- tertainment for all who attended, and their efforts were repaid by a glowing success. The music of Dale Demerest and his orchestra was featured with Jimmy YVilcox as caller and instructor for the three barn dances enjoyed by the guests. 4 , , ,, - , ' D. Amon J.

In addition to these losses, several of the older members of the band left to join various branches of the armed services. The South band participated enthusiastically in patriotic campaigns beginning in the summer when the entire band went to Cedar Springs to stimulate bond sales there. They also helped ln campaigns at Burton Heights, at the Bomber Drive show. the concerts and assemblies at school. Buy Bonds , the U.S.A., and an American Hag were patriotic formations done in conjunction with other schools. These received special atten- tion at football games in the fall.

Norine Van- dervelde played the first movement of lXIozart's Concerto in A lllajor for the Violin . Phyllis Perry sang Ill Bacio by Arditi and played a flute solo, Syrnx by Debussy.

As a result, a great improvement was heard during the year in the quality of tone in the violin and cello sections. Norene Vandervelde was concert mistress and llr. Litton, the conductor.

The Junior Student council, composed of 30 members, had meetings Thursdays during the noon hour. In the meetings the members tried to solve the problems which pertained to the lower grades as well as prove that good student government can be instituted in junior high school. The council helped in many of the school-wide activities. Helping Bliss Clare lValper and the Junior Honor society with the tin can drive, and hlr. Henry RIulder in the Bomber cam- paign, proved that junior student government was a worthwhile organization. In room 302 a Junior High Games room was originated to occupy the time of the students during the noon hour. The Junior Honor S0- cietv took charge of the distribution of the tic- kets to the games room. This new feature proved to be a great success. A junior high orientation program was car- ried out through the cooperation of the students and faculty under the excellent supervision of lliss llarjorie Shepard. The council, which was in its third year of existence, was ably led bv James XVilliams, pres- ident: Loren Houtman, vice president: Nadine Rfiller, secretarvg Leona Luxford, treasurerg and lXIiss Elda Koehn and Bliss Zelda llaexaughton, advisers for the group. -Y YY -2.mn.wg-.---1-i-fm-,-,.-Lw,..,,,-G... i of -.1--Q..-.-ye.. -A.-....

TATTLER EDITORlAL STAFF The Tattler, newspaper of South High, was a definite factor in influencing the school lives of students through its editorials and accounts of school activities. The staff met daily to discuss, write, and edit the material used in the paper which was scheduled for publication every two weeks.

TATTLER BUSINESS STAFF Behind all publications, there is the problem of making money to pay for printing, paper, and engraving. This year, as in other years, a little more than half as much of the money that was needed was earned through the sale of subscriptions. The rest of the money was made by paddle pop sales and advertising. Advertising was solicited by Dorothy Brad- shaw, Doreen Van Dyke, Nancy Burns, Erna Plag, Barbara Herb and lllerlin Giddings. The distribution staff circulated the papers to the possessors of Tattler-Spectra cards the sev- enth hour on Thursdays.

A 'fhorse race was also staged in which the circulators tried for the honor of selling the most subscriptions. The winner, Joann Wegal, re- ceived two tickets to a football game as a prize.
