FOREWORD JOSEPH JORGENS 0tY this very moment, I am told, there are being built wonder-ships of the air rivaling Pullman cars in comfort and luxury.- hundred-mi les-an-hour planes that will span the ocean. There is secrecy now. but when the war is over, the “wings of the wind ' will be found to have been harnessed. We are on the verge of tremendous changes. A few years ago our magnificent state was a wilderness. Compared with the present, the world was a wilderness. The marvels of that time are now necessities. What of the next fifty years? How fortunate are you young people who are to behold these transitions! How fortunate are you who are to play a part in making things not yet dreamed of! My only regret is that I cannot turn time back twenty-five years and be in the game with you. In our little world at South, you are witnessing transformations not large, perhaps, but vital. For a long time the thought of our people has been to house the larger and better things in education. As the soul within grows, it shapes the material form. The completion of the new building is an outward expression of our growth. We leave the old and go into the new. But there will be other changes, for the invisible toiler works on, and in the course of time, builds dwellings more splendid than those before. It is the unresting quest for that which is the noblest and the best.

{THIS year the Tiger is to he not only a souvenir of a school year gone by, but also a prophecy of school years to conic. It is to record the coming to South High of a spirit which has manifested itself during the past year, and which is an encouraging sign for the future. A YEAR OF PROGRESS Tills has been a year of progress. We have begun to realize that education is not merely getting knowledge, but learning to use it. As a result we have the Mock Congress, which is as good as a school in itself. Then there is the Inkpah Club, organized last year, which is beginning to make itself felt as a new power in school life. The language departments, too, arc coming into their own,—we have only to recall the novel and interesting Christmas program for proof of this. I he Norse play, and the French play are additional evidence of a new activity, both linguistic and dramatic. The bulletin board on the east landing is another new feature, and one that has been enthusiastically received. A SCHOOL WEEKLY Tins leads us to a consideration of the future. I'hc success of the bulletin board points to a long-felt want, which, it is hoped, shall be even more adequately filled by and by. The idea of starting a school weekly has taken root in the minds of many of the faculty as well as student body, and if the support of the whole school is forthcoming—as we think it is— South High will soon have its newspaper, l et us work for it. THE NEW LIBRARY Another cause for rejoicing is the new library, which will be located in the new addition. The library is the very heart of the school,—all the students meet here in the universal hunt for knowledge. I low they have been able to do so heretofore in such cramped quarters is a mystery, the only solution of which is the librarian, whose skillful handling of both books and pupils has made it possible. In the new library, however, her skill will find an ampler field, and the student will be encouraged in independent parallel reading, which is the true foundation of scholarship. FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN TEACHERS AND ST C DENTS Another helpful development is that of increased companionship between teachers and pupils. More teachers arc coming to the social affairs of the students, and their presence is appreciated. Nothing adds more to the value of school life than fellowship between the student body ami the instructors. f 91
