A AND STAFF OF '47 ' O' 32 ' 22 Bafffv-. ff, CZ-me c f DEDlCWil?fDNWQfjiifr1.7Wh We dedicate the Spectra of 1947 to Miss Elda Koehn, who loyally served our school and invested much faith in us. Even though she has gone to teach elsewhere, the memory of what she did for our year book is still vivid in the minds of the staff. Her wonderful sense of humor and her abounding good fellowship made her a personal friend to every student who knew her. To perpetuate the memory of Miss Koehn we respectfully inscriloe our annual to her. FOREWCDRD Those who have had the privilege ot traveling on a streamliner found it a pleasurable experience. This annual portrays another pleasurable experience - attending school. The streamliner is neater, more comfortable, and much taster than the old type passenger trains. The Wheels, engine, and track are basically the same. Education in the secondary schools is basically the same - the foundation being the three R's. The methods and techniques have changed. We might say that edu- cation has been streamlined in keeping With the times. This annual records many of these changes, especially in extra-curricular activities. Herein is a pictorial recording of the activities that probably mark the happiest days of your stream- lined lite.

Back in the round house of school activity after a long summer, the new seniors raised a full head of steam in the annual fall elections, ln a campaign assembly the three hundred loudly acclaimed the efforts of the five political parties: Fearless Fosdickf' The Greatest, Uncle Ezra, Widget, Lil' Abner. The seniors then proceeded to elect lim Herrington as Chief Engineer, with lim Holwerda assisting at the throttle. Mary Bigford re- corded statistics while Bill Olson applied the brake to excessive spending. Ready with advice were Barbara Baker, Cecil Marsh, Bob Strong, Mr. Alfred Sirrine, and Mr. Iacob Brady, As the Streamliner got started on its 1946-47 trip, the class presented Snafu, a roaring three act comedy for the entertainment of all. This highly successful play was produced December 5-6 with two complete casts. lust before the stop at Christmas time, the class named the most popular boy and girl in its midst in the mock elections. They also named Betty Carlberg the South Winter Snow Queen and Lorraine Marcroft delegate to the DAR. Convention, Everybody ate and ate at the Valentine party at which Class Queen Iackie Dise handed out valentines, and a mock marriage was performed. Dressed in their cleanest overalls, the entire class gathered for the senior mixer on Ianuary 17. After a fine meal of ham and corny jokes, the lads and lassies sat en masse at the Creston-South game. The class went from one extreme to another by first dressing in old clothes for tramp day in March and then in best clothes for the first senior breakfast in May. Spring and romance and dance time came together with seniors first jigging at the annual Damsel's Drag and then swishing in formal attire at the Iunior-Senior Prom. Finally, after a long and successful trip, the Trojan Streamliner approachedthe station for another vacation. Gay seniors put on their last effort in Class Day, lune 6, to show off their talents to proud parents. Sad seniors for the last time as a class walked down the aisle to Pornp and Circumstancew in white caps and gowns at Com- mencement, Iune 13. No longer an engineer of the South Streamliner, each was now to become an engineer of the world. ,J mf' A ,ii 1. Kwai? ,Y if? R .4X Q29 Q 1' 1' x. y . 1 , ..,L,: F ,Q , ,,.l, . , K PN? I .

Our halls were decked with posters heralding the benefits of each of the four competing parties: Kilroys fan all boy partyl, Music Makers, Alka Seltzer S, and Atomites. Balloting re- sulted in the election of all but one of the Kilroys. lack Merrill reigned with Chuck Perry his vice presidentg Roger Spring added his X to the minutes, Man with the Money was lim Livingston who took each member S.75. Business manager and student advisors were lack Whitman, Mar- lin Alberts, and Phyllis larvis, who added the lone woman's touch, Mr. Webb Marris and Mr. Gerald Bloem were the faculty advisers. , - The first bit of business was the deci- sion to get class pins this year instead of next. May fifth was the gay day for the juniors as they graced the gym at the an- nual I Hop. R. Alariu I Allers C. Anderson ' I. Anderson Annan: P. Archer P. August B. Baker H Barr Bull E- Batdorif I.

Zelkin FRESHMEN 'lWhat shall I take in high school? was the conventional question raised by the 9th, Bth, and 7th graders this year. Couri- seling and making out tour year plans have shown them that knowledge ot Eng- lish, algebra, and chemistry makes for good journalists, architects, scientists, and citizens, The two student council representatives from each junior high session room met in 207 Thursday noons. Here they discussed ideas by which they could make the 'train' better and happier to ride in, However, all Work and no play makes lack and Iill pretty dull characters, so the council planned a dance which they appropriately named The Snowflake Swirl. All junior high guys and gals were elegible for the january event, The unique door-prize, a fox terrier puppy, was carried off by Marilyn Findley. These Htrainmen of tomorrow are start- ing otf well in their preparations lor the future by mixing good fun with hard work. Budcxluce A. Abbott Baker P. Aldfid Barnard Amodeo Anderson I B.

At this time the tour quali- fications for the society scholarship, leadership, service, and character were explained, The youths elected Roger Wierenga, Bright Light, lane Bouwman, Little Flame, Ioanne Wiles, Kilowatt Kounter, Lorraine Dundas, Shiner of the Gold, and Mrs. Margarite Crossman, Guiding Torch.

Made up of juniors and seniors, the Thelma E.

Miss Ruth Steglich, Mrs. D. H. Lipke, and Mr. F. Roland Allaben served as judges for the contest. The name of the winner, Who was awarded a cup, was engraved on the Quill and Scroll plaque. The society is made up ot students who are in the upper third of their class scholastically and who had done outstanding work on the Tattler or Spectra. At the beginning of the year the merri- bers elected Bill Olson the Chief Quill with Sam Giammona the Little Feather.

The school and the community have benefited from the many services they sponsor.

Not only do they send these boxes, but they fill albums with pictures show- ing the United States.

After sizzling battle in May oi '46 with Two Quarts and a Pint, L.S.M.F.T. and The Barnyard Trio taking the stage, the governing powers emerged in the form ol Ted Fowle, Pres., Marilyn Pike, Sec.g and Arnold Hoffman, Iunior Ushers Club Chair- man, while Miss Esther Thomasma and Mr. Gerald Bloem took over the advisory seats.

The Tattler served the South High Streamliner by lurnishing the latest information concerning class elections, the championship basketball games, and the noon dances. Issued every two weeks, the school newspaper presented three gala six-page papers for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and graduation. The Tattler attempted through its editorial policy to Show the need for more athletics for girls, to reveal the work- ings oi the honor point system, and to impress upon the students their responsibilities in a democracy, Heading the publication staff, Editor Ianet Watts made sure that all editors met their deadlines. Ioyce Schrieber served as news editor with Roger Spring her assistant, as was Marjorie Cole on the six-page issues. Vivian Long edited the feature page while Sam Giammona spotlighted the last page as sports editor. Kay Brower, business manager, lulia Chamelly, adver- tising manager, and Ianet Snider, circulation, headed the busi' ness stall. Miss Hazel Paalman and Miss Dorothy Williams acted as advisors for the sheet. fl! SPECTRA Serving as the official publication for the South High Stream- liner, the Spectra in its thirty-first edition presented all the friends and fun that made the year 1947 so memorable. Us- ing the new streamliner as a device, the staff presented Trojan seniors, underclassmen, faculty, activities, and ath- letics by means of pictures and copy. Heading the staff for the second year was Editor Bill Olson with Margaret Favier his assistant and chief apple polisher for the faculty section. Betty Tetro and Ioyce Waldo split infinitives over the senior portion of the book while Pat Fuller and Marilyn Martin reigned over underclassmen. Barbara Baker ordered pictures taken of all clubs and ac- tivities for the yearbook, and Cecil Marsh ended things up with the final word on sports. Kay Huff started the year as business manager, but Pat Fuller took over at the second semester with Mr, Ralph Mowrey's help. Mr. Lester De Koster got all stuck-up while acting as advisor for the beaver- like editors. Eyes Ahead A Hilarious Head Annual Event DEBATE Delicious, Hmmm? Its Debatable I disagree heartily with what you sayl Each member ot the debate club, under the direction of Mr. De Koster, has a right to possess and speak his own mind. And when they get started those 564.00 dollar words really fly. This group are well on up the ladder of success as far as learning the technique of speech and debate are con- cerned, They would like to see more people interested in Debate, for the many who have taken it say that it has helped them very much in later years as training in thinking and speaking. When these boys get together they talk about everything from soup to nuts. This year they engaged in combined radio and inter-school forensic activities, as well as studying the State debate question on socialized medicine. B. Becker L. DeKoster R. Bloem W.

Another shot for the Spectra, as one of South's oldest organizations, the Camera Club went to work. The main pur- pose of the photography fans was to learn the technique of taking good pictures. From the use ot the school darkroom and advice of Miss Ruth Stokoe, science teacher, the amateur camera bug soon became acquainted with all phases ol the art. Result of the'club's work was displayed next to room 212. Salons were held each month with the six best shots being shown. Other projects were field trips tor action shots and sales to earn money. ' Norma Schier was the Big Bulb of the group while George Boucher also shed light on the sub- ject.

Future Photographer X USHERS' CLUB Down the Aisle Boys Keep to the left! Keep to the right! Without these ushers, we couldn't keep the long train of South High students on the right track, One might even go so far as to say that a derail- ment might have accurred had not these boys sometimes taken a firm hand. What could South have done without them under the presiding hand of Cecil Marsh, and the handling of-pounds and notes done by Max Baker? The fellows get along well at their meetings twhich everyone has heard are very informal affairsl not only with one another but with Mr. Webb Marris, their faculty advisor.

The costume party, which was one of the biggest events, netted 140 dollars tor the Council. Later in the spring an amateur assembly was presented to the school. But the Council accomplished more than social successes. Also on its schedule were conquering the problems which con- fronted any high school. A faculty-student committee worked out an answer to the noon eating question. Students were allowed to eat in the boys' gym where tables were set up and milk was sold. A true example ot student government came about when the council set up student operated study halls after the spring H2013 Attending the Meeting SENICDR STUDENT CGUNCIL il if vacation. Those who couldn't cooperate were sent into rooms where teachers held reign. The hall system worked in conjunc- tion with honor study halls to bring about a greater efficiency. Third big problem answered was the charge of the honor point system. Outstanding seniors who had given service to the school were given gold keys in recognition of their work. A plan was worked out whereby no group of -individuals could take part in too many activities in one year, The Senior Student Council experienced one of its most suc- cessful years with President George Boucher guiding the group with Bill Olson's assistance. Little Nancy Iohnson kept the records while Mary Bigford counted the shekels.

Big event for all Y-Teens was the Round the World campaign in Ianuary. South's gals raised more money to help Europeans than any other Grand Rapids Y-Teen group. Alter Mary Bigford and Pat Fuller attended the West Mich- igan State Convention at Owosso, Ianuary 14 and l5, the local girls heard what the pair had learned about vocations. Heading the social sked was the Artistry lump, the an- nual dance presented with the help of the Hi-Y.

Those noon movies were sponsored by these gals, and not only that, but they made colorful scrapbooks for the soldiers. Under the presidential supervision ot Larraine Eggles- ton, Ioan Iohnson serves as vice-president, Nancy Warren fills the seat ot secretary, and Treasurer Roberta Rose- boom has the luck to count all the money. Of course the important overseeing could belong to none other than Naida Kirby.

Especially pleasing to all was the presentation of Dickens' Christ- mas Carol in song and word. Capably directed by Miss Bessie Lindley, the Southite Birdies inspired everyone who heard them, and particularly thrilled them with the yearly version ol Trees, Most eagerly anticipated by the members as well as concert enthusiasts was the Spring Concert in which all ol the mixed choruses of the city participated with a guest conductor. The Shubert Club Concert was attended by many ol the Trogan vocalists, since complimentary tickets were furnished to them by one ol the local concerns of Grand Rapids All in all, South says thanks to their songsters for an entertaining year of music.

Mr Louis Peterson, director of the out- state band, retired this year ending the long series of concerts with the Trojans. The music was planned to appeal to teen-aged fans with such pieces as 'Swaneef' Tumbling Tumble Weed, and a work by Gershwin. ln addition to the big concert, the band played for every football game to inspire worried fans with the rousing school song.

Mrs. Hutchison, our amiable librarian, was greeted by such questions as Where can I find some ballads? or Is Pinocchio on the tenth grade reading list? The English department, with Mrs. Marguerite Cross- man in charge, shoved into high gear and switched the students on the track ot better grammar and more inter- esting literature. Miss Hazel Paalman, new to South High this year, boarded the Tattler Staff, while Mr. Agnes Hazel Pacxlman Ruth Stecrlxch Lester Delioster hopped a ride with the Spectra, and on the side advised the Sophomore class.

Among those answering the whistle were five returning regulars. As the practices progressed, the Trojan mentor spotted many young hopefuls that he could use to fill the would- be holes in his starting lineup. Thanks to these up-and- comers and the five returning stalwarts the Needham coached team was rated as one of the top teams in state competition. Facing the toughest schedule in South High history, the Red and Blue crew practiced long and hard in order to be in as near top shape as possible before kickoff gme of their first scheduled tilt with the Northerners from lint. Iourneying to the not too distant motor city, the Trojan squad was taken for a ride, not only on the bus but also on the striped field, as they went down in defeat 21-0. The Hall Street gridders gained a great deal from that initial encounter. Their green material obtained much needed experience, and the veterans acquired renewed confidence in themselves. There was no doubt about it, the boys from the little .Van Sweeps the End Loren .ffl-f. A U- lack-Bouk FIRST TEAM red school house were transformed from a hit cmd miss ball club to a smooth-working, dependable crew. Next on the list of opponents were the Hilltoppers of Central. The fray was a hectic affair with South forging ahead in the last quarter of play to come ou-t victorious 7-6. However, the Red and Blue showed need of a more polished offense which could only be overcome in the heat of future battles. Saginaw Eastern was highly rated as it traveled to the furniture city to pitch in battle against the South High Scrappers. However, the Trojan team didn't read their opponents' clippings. With the ole South Spirit burning deep in their hearts along with the will to win, the lads soundly trounced the favored Saginaw eleven 13-U before a capacity crowd, lntoxicated with the effect of victory, the mitey Trojans next trimmed a failing Creston aggregation 32-18 via the air route. The brand of ball that the Needamites were playing was superb. lt not only ran up huge scores on the board but also rang the bell on the school cash register by drawing enormous crowds. Continuing on their winning streak the Southenders scraped the war paint off the Ottawa Indians 33 to U in another blazing aerial victory.

Playing on a muddy, rain-soaked field, South squeezed out a victory by the dripping score of 14 to 5. Because of their win over Catholic, the Trojan team now led the city circuit with four wins and no defeats, and were again receiving recognition throughout the State. The city league leaders had a week of hard practice to get ready for their coming encounter with a powerful River Rouge outfit at Detroit. Although the Trojans were favored in the sport circulars, the long dreary trip tired them so that before the starting whistle blew the game was rated as a toss up. The tilt was hotly contested with the deciding margin only obtained by a kick which was blocked behind the double R's goal line. The final look at the scoreboard read South 2, River Rouge O. Before meeting Union on their traditional Turkey Day skirmish, which would not only decide the holder of the coveted Little Red lug but also the city championship, South was pitted against Benton Harbor, one of the better teams of the Southwest Conference, The game was truly a knockdown, dragout affair with all the thrills and That Important Catch Willie Marlin Alberts FIRST TEAM WSJ? Paul lack Merrill spills of real college football. The Trojan team looked superior throughout the fray but when the dust rose from the field at .the end of the game the score stood at a deadlock 6 to 8. The game of the year against Union was drawing closer as rapidly as every turkey added ounce to ounce. All 13,500 seats were sold a week in advance and by game time the scalpers were asking and getting outrageous prices for their tickets. The Red Hawks were favored slightly in the betting odds because they out-weighed the tiny Trojans 2U lbs. per man. Both teams proved worthy of their press clippings as they fought with the city championship at stake. The first hall was a bitter battle with both teams threatening to score, but their threats failed to materialize, and the half ended O to 0. Determined not to be subdued by the weight of the Red Hawks, the Trojans pushed across a marker in the dying minutes of the third quarter on a brilliantly ex- ecuted flat pass. South's leather luggers, realizing that victory was theirs, played entirely defensive ball in the fourth quarter to protect their six point lead and cinch the city championship. The final score: South 6, Union U. With South the City Champions, and no more games to be played, the sports writers and coaches once again Being Trailed Bruce Baker FCDCDTBALL . X ' l C. Marsh. P. Caruso. I. Van Ess, I. Nelson set out to pick the city's all star team, Although the Hall Street boys had no stars but worked as a unit at team play, they succeeded in placing three boys on the city's dream team. These stalwarts were all rnainstays on their powerful line. Billy Mich, who captained the Red and Blue eleven so ably, was chosen not only for his leadership on the field but also for his aggressive playing ability. Controll- ing the majority of the votes for the left end position was Fred Pickard, a bulwark of strength on offense who made South's aerial artillery so potent. Receiving his second nomination as the all city center was Don Hondorp. His brilliant line backing and pass defense Work made South's goal line almost impregnable holding exceptionally strong opposition to an average of one lone marker per game. Not only were these boys recognized in the city but also throughout the state. The Associated Press placed all three on the All State second team. Thus as George Needham, mentor of the South High Squad, stated at the end of the season, We were success- ful this year because there were no individual stars. Every fellow played the game because he loved the game, they all workd together to bring glory to South High, and without a doubt, they did. F. Pickard. S. Monsma, B. Mick, D. Hondorp. B. Delong. L.

Theis Under the able tutoring of the South end institutions' newest member of its coaching staff, Webb Marris, a valient junior Trojan eleven went through a tough schedule with rather disappointing results. The varsity understudies were huge and powerful but a slow start cost them many defeats. , In their first encounter the red and blue eleven held the speedy Hilltopper squad from Central to a nothing to nothing tie. Next, the Trojans traveled to Briggs field to do battle with the Polar Bears of Creston. After the dust had settled the Hall Street seconds found them- selves on the short end of a twelve to nothing count. Play of the Trojan forward wall was outstanding in this fray. Next, the Trojan Soph's invaded the reservation of the Redskins of Ottawa and with the Red and Blue offen- sive machine functioning perfecjly they walked off with a six to nothing victory. The following week the Marris coached aggregation faced a tough Red Hawk squad from Union. The Red Hawk speed proved too much for the always fighting Iunior Trojans and they went down nineteen to nothing. Still licking the Wounds received in the Red Hawk battle, the Trojans met the steller Blue and White of Catholic, A vastly improved Southite squad battled a superior Cougar eleven viciously but fell be- hind in the final stanza to lose out twenty-six to six.

Robin SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL Central Creston Ottawa Catholic Union FIRST TEAM BASKETBALL With the football championship already under their belts the South High Trojans set out for like recognition in basketball. With only four days practice between the Thanksgiving Day football fray with Union and the hardwood opener with Mus- kegon, the Red and Blue quintet was but slightly groomed for their first show, With height and speed to spare, a well polished Muskie five overcame a nodded half time count to subdue the ever fighting Trojans, 53 to 38. Next the plucky Pattersonites engaged in a tight defensive battle with the Bear Cat five from Battle Creek, with the Trojan bucketeers getting hot in the dying minutes to pull ahead, 29 to 23. Safe on the home court, the Southenders extended their win- ning streak to three straight by trouncing an inapt Catholic Central squad, and then taking the measure of the '46 champs, Ottawa Hills, After dropping a close one to the gold and white of Central, the Trojans came back strong to run all over a heretofore unbeaten Creston quintet, the final count being 31 to 18. The Christian High Eagles were the next victims of the smooth working, red-hot Hall Street Boys. Iourneying to the Dillingham Gym the league leading Southites battled with a hot Red Hawk five from Union to a thrilling last second victory, 31 to 33. With the season nearing the half way mark and the Trojans leading the other six city schools with a five won and one loss .Rudy FIRST TEAM BASKETBALL ' 1 V record, the Furniture City basketball followers came to the just conclusion that it was the spark, fight, and that never-say-die spirit that netted the Trojan quintet a mid-semester lead. Traveling to Holland, the Red and Blue, weakened by the graduation of the two tallest men on the squad, fell behind in the third quarter to lose out to a star-studded Maroon squad from Holland Christian. Back in league play, with capable re- placements in at the forward slots, the Trojans once more got hot to take three in a row over Catholic, Christian, and Ottawa, the latter being a thrilling overtime, The Trojans bowed then to Central after blowing a seeming- ly substantial half-time lead. Meeting the Polar Bears from Creston at the Northside gym, with the Central defeat still burning in their hearts, the Trojan crew fought an uphill battle all the way, but showed that usual spark in the last stanza to romp home with a 40 to 33 win, With a share of the title cinched, the Trojans needed only a victory over the Union Red Hawks to be sole possessor of the basketball crown. The fray was switched to the larger Burton plant, where a keyed-up Red and White quintet from the West Side battled bravely, but the well polished Trojan fast break won out in a thrilling over- time, 33 to 31. With the City Championship Trophy and the title of The fightenest Trojan outfit ever turned out the 1947 campaigners laid aside their togs for another season. 2nd TEAM BASKETBALL W. Brown, D. West R. DeKruif, W. Baker. F. Krueger Under the talented tutelage of George Needham the Trojan second again emerged as one ot the top com- petitors in the city league. These crafty cagers possessed all the virtues which are needed to produce victorious results. Combining a last break with cz well polished set game, the junior squad swept through their early en- counters by large scores. Due to an enormous supply ot man power Coach Needham found it wise to use the binomial system, Both quintets were capable of being the starting five, but the shorty crew received the nodd because of their ability to play cool ball under pressure. Thanks to the superb type of ball the reserve crew played, they shared along with Union the top position in the city league standings. The varsity juniors smothered several weak opponents, as did Union, to remain as top contenders for the championship of the city's seconds. B. Youngberg, B. Rykse W. Litton, L. Morrow. R. Sack With both teams tied lor the top posi'tion the time was set lor the game ot the year. ln order to accom- modate the large crowd which planned to attend the tray and also to enable the boys to play A-brand ball, the game was switched from the southend gym to the spacious Burton floor. Due to the extreme height oi the Union crew, the Red Hawks were favored to triumph over the tiny Tro- jans. At whistle time both were ready and Waiting to play with the championship at stake. Playing on an even Steven level the first half the Trojan lads matched bucket tor bucket with the lanks from Union. Finally to keep up the pace set by the west side quintet the Trojan tossers tell by the wayside, finding themselves on the short end of a 38-27 count, Although losing the championship by one game the junior five held the South Colors high throughout the season. I. Andreasen, R. White I. Kirby. P. Esslair, I. Brummeler PHYSICAL EDUC!-XTICDN The ever popular physical education classes were enjoyed again this year by the students of the grades seventh through tenth, Gail 'Pat' Patterson and Ina Krumheuer being in charge of the boys' and girls' classes respectively. Under the guidance of Pat, the boys in his classes follow the sports seasons in their activities. ln the fall when football rolls around, the Trojan amateurs head for the 'field' and engage in heated squad battles. Basketball brings on rough and tumble scrimmages in which the enthusiastic combatants all but tackle each other to prevent a score. The spring attraction, softball, comes as a relief after the long indoor activities of the winter, and the boys take to the fresh air eagerly. ln the feminine department Miss Ina Krumheuer keeps the Southites shapely by passing on to the girls her knowledge of the various gymnastics. The girls' classes meet twice a week, the first period being devoted to rhythm and exercise such as dancing and calisthenics. The second period is taken up by sports and games. Volley ball takes first place in popular girls' games, Games such as badminton, ping-pong, deck tennis, and duck pins follow with a close second. The recreation obtained in these classes comes as a relief and the students benefit by the spirit of cooperation which is developed. ARCI-IERY CLUB Relax your arms and shoulders, lean towards the target, anchor your arrows. These are a few of the commands which can be heard from Miss I. Krumheuer, leader of the junior cupids. Fifteen enthusiastic girls answered the call at the beginning of the school term for the first session of practice. During the fall and winter months the urobinhood iuniors spent their shooting time in the girls' gym, but as soon as the snow left the terra tirma the girls took to the spacious South High athletic field for their Tuesday sessions. Under the capable instruction of Miss Krumheuer several of the South High lassies received awards for accuracy from the National Archery Association, With the fine training these girls received from this extra curricular activity, they are assured oi hitting the bulls eye in future life. CHEERLEADERS l..et's have a big cheer now! roars from the throat of Sammy Russo, who leads the boys in putting spirit into the schools student body. Under the enthusiastic direction of these active Whistle-pullers, overflow crowds at l-louseman Field cheered the conquering Trojans to a city championship in football. This by no means concluded the moral efforts of these big steamsf' The crowds next followed the basketeers from victory to victory, each game inspired by the vocilerous cheers developed by these same active boys, ' Under the instruction of Miss Bessie Lindley, this group has produced some hard workers who could arouse the students and players and put the pep into them which is important for a winning team. This year's staff has many promising lads coming back next year who should have enough experience to keep the spirit high in South for some years to come. As long as South has their outstanding cheering squad they will continue having great teams. MANAGERS The success ot the Trojan teams and the keen competition in the city leagues created a high tensioned interest in the spirited South High rooters. At every game a capacity-plus crowd of Red and Blue fans supported their hard fighting teams, who on most occa- sions rewarded their cheering section with a victory. Although it was a great season for the teams, the sell-out games provided endless over-time work for the athletic department with its able faculty managers, Oscar Shopmeyer and Gerald Bloem. Mr, Shopmeyer has been with the department tor, 24 seasons and his invaluable services have contributed greatly to its smooth- running. Mr. Shopmeyer is in charge ot the elegibility of players and ticket taking. Mr. Bloem who has done a fine job this year is a newcomer to the department. He stepped into the position vacated by Harold Buckham who, after many seasons with Mr. Shopmeyer, left South to take up teaching at Iunior College, Mr. Bloem's responsibilities this year covered being in Charge ot the ticket sales and all athletic equipment. The student managers are in charge of the equipment in their respective sport, These hard working boys are invaluable in keep- ing the equipment in order.

Iorden Gibler, seniorg Bill Kloote, junior, and Bob Konwinski, sophomore, were the expected mairistays of the Trojan four. Pat Patterson, who had already tutored one championship squad in 1947, endeavored to continue his winning ways. Pats 'lpar busters looked good to him and in a preseason interview he summed up his predictions with this optimistic statement, definitely on top.

Continuing along the same line, South's mentor also murmured, Nine letter men have returned from last year's squad, and we have a fine looking group of newcomers we can work into a few events in which we will be weak this year. Facing a suicide schedule of five dual meets and two relay invita- tionals, 'Pop' seemed very optimistic about the outcome of the coming season. Don Hondorp will be counted on to snatch his usual supply of points in the high and low hurdles. The dynamic duet in the dashes will be loe Bulgarello and Bill Mayfield.
