In the first place, our new addition has been completed with its greater facilities, accommodations, and appointments, the attendance has increased, and the courses of study have been enriched by the addition of a larger number of electives. PROGRESS MADE IN NEW CLASSES The class in public speaking has been a success from the beginning. Students who enrolled for this subject showed a sincere desire to master the art of speaking and appearing in public, and it was this same sincerity of purpose that brought forth such splendid returns. One has but to recall the program given in the audi- torium by the members of the public speaking class to note the results of this course of study. Any pupil who puts in his time in a careful study of this subject is making a sound investment. A long step forward has also been taken in dramatics. Under the guidance of a competent instructor, the class of 20 boys and girls successfully presented a number of sketches and playlets. The ultimate goal toward which all worked, however, was the play HArms and the Mani' put on the boards by the January class of seniors. The excellent progress made by the journalism class in that study is thoroughly discussed in another part of this book. HONOR STUDENTS South High has always had a fine representation of students on the honor roll, but particular attention was called to that fact when the .lanuary '17 class of seniors graduated carrying off first honors among all the high schools of the city. Miss Eleanor Asplund, average 94.52, secured the highest mark of all the mid-year graduation classes, and lVliss Henriette Reed, our salutatorian, easily out- distanced all others for second place. Another matter of general surprise and as- tonishment was the fact that approximately half of those on the honor roll were boys. While the honor derived from being recognized as a high average student is worth striving for, there is the practical value to be taken into consideration. What of the honor student in the business world? Is his record ever taken into con- sideration? Directly after graduation, one of the honor students of the January 1917 class applied for a position in a prominent bank of this city. He was told there was no opening, but upon asking him his average in high school and learning he was an honor student, the officials reconsidered, and made a place for him. Al- though this is but one illustration, it goes, we believe, to show the value of receiving high marks while in high school. FAULTY ORGANIZATION OF SOCIETIES Clubs and societies of all kinds have always been a feature of South High I to I
