At Last last! that long anticipated building known by the dignified name of “auditorium” has been completed. That sweet dream, which we have had ever since we were Freshmen, has now been realized. Think how much this means to us and to you, O Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior! We now have one of the finest and most beautiful school auditoriums in the Northwest, and one which is large enough to seat the whole school, as the seating capacity is nearly two thousand. Lack of enthusiasm, school unity, and organization has been due largely to that fact that we have had no auditorium, where the whole school might be assembled. There can be no success in school affairs, altho the students are loyal, unless the whole student body is interested, and, to some extent, organized. This can now be accomplished by means of our new auditorium. To enumerate all of the benefits of an auditorium would take pages of this book. In that building we can assemble for mass meetings to practise in cheering for our foot-ball, base-ball, basket-ball and debating teams. Greater enthusiasm will be aroused; our teams will be so encouraged and aided by these meetings that they will go out with more vigor and determination to win than ever before, and will, no doubt, return as champions. The debators will also be aided by having the opportunity of holding some of the debates in their own auditorium, which will naturally make them more confident. Then think of the benefits to each individual of the school! Everyone will now have the opportunity to display his talent and ability in the weekly programs which are being given. These programs have been a great success, and are looked forward to with great pleasure both by students and teachers, as a happy diversion from the daily grind and routine of school work. They arc especially beneficial to the Freshmen, who will learn to develop their voices, to speak distinctly and with dignity, so that by the time they are Seniors they can appear before the public with ease and grace. There is one benefit in which we all rejoice—the fact that we now can graduate in our own school auditorium. Already a general spirit of interest and enthusiasm has pervaded the school since the auditorum has been built. This building is truly the place where the happy, joyous side of school life is to be developed. Of course, old South High is just the best high school in the world, but now, with her auditorium, she will send forth better and more capable citizens, and become the greatest and most up-to-date high school possible.
