Joseph Jorgens ✓ New South The building and its influence grow As the years go marching by. Old South Proud , erect, the castle stands, Its towers piercing the blue sky. They attended school To learn The sciences and arts From books, But books were not Their only source Of wisdom; Friendship and associations Taught them The science of fair play And the art of living And working together. 9111 TRADITIONS OF SOUTH Miss Sadie L. Keatley, Assistant Principal INTO the guardianship of South, there has come rich legacy, “a goodly heritage, the “Old South spirit. It brings to us the song of victory, the fragrance of friendship, the inspiration of nobility. These are the traditions which we cherish. Youth loves the “winning spirit. This, the spirit which, in times past, flared forth in brilliant orange and black silk streamers when South was in athletic or oratorical contests; in the lustrous high hats and orange pompons of 1921, when South High School on parade captivated Nicollet Avenue with its thousand of spectators; in the glorious sunflowers of 1924 which blazed the way for a South championship. This, the spirit of determination back of every South enterprise. This, the spirit of 1927 which won the Minnesota State basketball trophy. In the spacious rooms and halls of the old building, South I ligh students like to mingle, Seniors to parley at their meetings, teachers to greet friend or stranger. Surely here tradition lingers, the spirit of friendship. The Freshman finds a niche awaiting him. Sophomore and Junior excel in their work and in their play as school organizations, school activities, the school problems deepen their appreciation of the counsel and encouragement accorded them by the faculty and the students. The Senior takes his place at graduation in the line which is a symbol of the spirit of friendship extending from the classes of the past to the classes of the future. The alumnus visits within South’s walls and pledges anew his allegiance to that same spirit of which he is a part, the spirit of friendship. Rising like the old tower far above adjoining roofs and turrets, stands pre-eminent at South, nobility of character. Nobility of character—what fineness, what spirit! Hundreds of South's students have given life to this tradition; few have made it as dust. This is the spirit which won the Sportsmanship Trophy in 1920. 'This is the spirit which gains the commendation of the stranger in our midst. This is the spirit of its athletes and scholars who strive through wholesome play and profitable work to develop nobility of character. This is the spirit of “all good sons of Old South High.’’ True to the inheritance in trust, let us keep victory in the eye, friendship in the heart, nobility of character in the soul; and the traditions of South will live forever. Page Five OUR MEMORIAL WALL Xot in some abbey old and (fraud Cane tee a name in memory, Hut here upon the play-ground sand. Our gate to victory shall stand. x , ,, J J —Miss hRim LANm:R. HPHK idea of erecting a wall in memory of South boys who “come no more was originated by Miss Friedlander, and a Service Memorial Committee was formed in 1920. A fund was started toward which almost every student of South pledged something. The proceeds of class plays ami various other entertainments were contributed. Amounts were also generously given by South alumni and South Minneapolis residents. Finally the dream of a Memorial Wall became a reality. Mr. F. H. Enger had designed the present wall-entrance and ticket-booths. The wall was built during the summer months and was completed August fifteenth of 1926. Thus, “in honor of South students who offered their lives in defense of their ideals anil in memory of those who gave the last full measure of devotion, is dedicated another emblem of honor. On October 1, 1926, through the memorial entrance to the field passed a great throng of students, faculty, alumni, and friends who gathered to enjoy the South-Central football game, the first of the season. Members c.f the families of South’s service men were present. Between halves of the game the Hag was unfurled under escort of four University Cadets, South I ligh graduates, who stood at attention, two on each side of the platform during the impressive program. Dedicatory services were Brooks' Chicago Marine Band March - South Hich Band Directed by If’. Alim Abbott Dedication Speech.........................Mr. Joseph Jorgens America.............................................Audience Directed by II. E. (Irirbrnotv Va9t Six Kxcerpts from Mr. Jorgcns’ speech arc as follows: “Every step of progress, every great triumph relating to society and government has been achieved through sacrifice; conquering the world with a spiritual conception, brought to the Prince of Men, a crown of thorns, a death on the cross. ’ “The greatest prince, the greatest peacemaker of our time, was the youth who during the great world conflict, went forth to kill war, to establish and maintain the triumphant determination that we have now and forever an honest world.” “ These young men were dedicated to a world justice, to honor, not advantage; the boys of South, like Ballentinc and Captain Curtin, were once eminent in the tournament; the honor of the field was dear to their hearts. It seems fitting then, that we should rear this wall to their memory.” “ I he lofty loyalty and patriotism of those soldier boys beat tenderly in our hearts, and though this wall will perish they shall still live in memory so long as men reverence a clear court, a fair field, even World-wide, above which shall rule a mercy-seasoned Justice.” In front of the Memorial Wall is a Memorial Park which the students will beautify with shrubbery and trees. Each organization next fall will plant a fir tree to one of the soldiers who gave his life for the World War. The names of the soldiers and organizations follow: John Curtin - - - - Blue Triangle Lt.

It is made of a rose-colored brick combined with white stone window casements. Of the rooms in the building, the gymnasium proper, of course, is the most important. To insure against falling plaster, the walls are finished in brick. The equipment, being new, is better and more complete than that of any other school in the city. It includes stall bars, rings, parallel bars, bucks, horses, and new mats. The Moor is one of the largest in the city. In order to keep it in good condition, no one will be allowed on it during the day without tennis shoes. The old gymnasium was not large enough to properly accommodate the boys' and girls' classes. Now the girls will be well taken care of in the old gymnasium, which has lately been remodeled, and the boys in the new. For basketball the new gymnasium is a big improvement over the old one, both in respect to the floor and in respect to the height of the room. It will accommodate large crowds; the balcony alone will comfortably seat six hundred or more people. Besides the gymnasium, there are two commodious locker rooms, a shower room with thirteen showers, and a drying room. A small director’s room completes the plan of the first floor. On the second floor is a beautiful chorus room. Large windows on the South and West sides provide plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Approximately two hundred seats are arranged so that the pupils may sit in quartets. Although South loves the romance of her old building with its turrets and its tower, she also appreciates and enjoys the modern features of this new building. Myht THE AUDITORIUM TI IE auditorium is indeed the heart of the school. During the months that the auditorium was undergoing the process of reconstruction, its less was felt by every student, teacher, and activity. South’s family had no meeting place in which they could rejoice over victories and talk over their woes. When the workers finally put away their implements of construction and three bells called the school to the first assembly period of the year, it was truly “a time of great rejoicing.” The auditorium displayed a new stage, made fireproof and equipped with a two-ton switchboard that regulated an efficient lighting system. A sprinkling apparatus attached to the roof as well as an asbestos curtain made the stage fireproof. The orchestra pit was enclosed by an iron railing, and two additional exits were built on the Eighteenth Avenue side. Since the opening of the auditorium, many meetings have been held, and the faculty and students have taken advantage of the remodeled stage and new lighting system by producing varied and beautiful programs. The January class play, “Rip Van Winkle,” the opera, “Sweethearts,” and especially the June class play, “The Bluebird,” were beautified by lighting effects and new scenery. During Good English Week, the various departments of the school combined their efforts to give to the school a colorful symphony of art; a delightful Tiger skit totalled up subscriptions for the annual; programs representing various holidays were successfully given; the January Commencement exercises closed the fall term and marked the beginning of another; pep meetings instilled a fighting spirit into teams and rooters. W hen the June Commencement program on “Minnesota” is rendered, it will mark the end of a successful year in auditorium history. Payr Mine Joseph Jorgens, Principal Assistant Principal Sadie L.

The modest request of these lads for a reward of “turkey with all that goes with it” was the origin of one of our most cherished traditions. Our athletes are spurred to achievement, however, not only by the thought of a gala banquet in April with turkey, and toasts, and possibly trophies, but also by the more immediate recompense of “S” Parties. During the school year, through the activity of this organization, the wide hall on the second floor of the old building was made festive on occasional Friday nights with ferns, with streamers of bright paper, with gay music, that boys and girls of South might dance from 211 to 216, under the Memorial Tablet and up to Mr. Jorge ns' very door. There they enjoyed, by contrast, making merry over the paths they tread with dignity in the earlier hours of the day. The same members of the Faculty were able to imbue the Athletic Banquet given in the beautiful and pretentious Gold Room of the Radisson with the homelike air of South. No student can overestimate the work of the members of the Faculty who give their utmost that the students of South High may enjoy the best. At parties for champions in music or athletics, at Sunlight or I lonor Banquet, the “S' Committee is ever ready to guide anil dignify the spirit of South’s hospitality.

As memories of the good old times return, we are conscious that through every thought runs a vein of friendliness for the winding halls, the old class rooms, the bronze memorial tablet; and we feel a tremendous sense of loss as we bid goodbye to everything. Then there comes to us a feeling of gratitude for the training, the beliefs, the dreams, and the ideals South has given us through its principal, its teachers, and its students. We are grateful to all. —Richard Carlstrom, January, 1927. T1 IK door of graduation is about to open before our eyes and we shall soon be crossing the threshold of Commencement. What lies beyond the portals of this door we know not, but we do know what we are leaving behind; namely, the customs, the ideals, and the traditions of South High. Those ideals include character, good conduct, scholarship, friendliness, co-operation, and school spirit. Therefore we now leave to the South 1 ligh students and to the seniors particularly the responsibility of upholding these traditions and ideals. In this endeavor we wish success and joy to all. —Hiram Johnson, June, 1927. Ri . oAnjon C nr tolls I'tigr T Ti el If Frattk E. J'thmnn K.

We will do all in our power to maintain the high standards of school spirit and loyalty set hv our predecessors. During the years which we have spent at South the true meaning of these traditions has grown into our hearts; it has grown, till now it is a part of us anil our school life. Next year when we face school problems and situations, and when we must test the right or wrong of any decision, we will apply our school motto as a touchstone, “Nobilitas Animi”, or Nobility ol Character. Always we will endeavor to live up to that ideal. —Kenneth Johnson, January, 1928. WK, as Juniors, have spent three happy years at South. So tar our endeavors have centered mostly in the class room, where we have wished to lay foundations of character and scholarship. Now wc are about to assume our responsibilities as seniors; we hope to work with the school for achievements not only in the class work, but also in athletics and in the other South activities. Wc hope for the co-operation of all the students. W ith the continued friendliness and good will that now exist, South, we believe, can look forward to another happy and successful year. —Irving Johnson, June, 1928. Curli h CatuJy (Jm rriun I.

El -K has shone through many people “like songs of beauty”. It has made of them people to be admired and loved; it has made of them vivid personalities that exercise influence over other people and other things. As life has sent its light through people of other years, so it is still sending it through people of today,—young people who are just beginning to make their way in the world; people who are seeking to make their characters line and strong. If it wills. Youth can be an expression of beauty by developing within itself the characteristics set down by civilization as standards of worth; honesty, reliability, perseverance, will power. Kverywhere—in the world at large, the home, and the school—there is a need of youth that possesses these qualities. As a school South has its youth who have the qualities of leaders; forms of beauty. On January 17, the students of the various classes chose two young people—a boy and a girl—to represent their class. No nominations were made; each student selected the person he thought best met the requirements of the honor of such a position. The selections were based on scholarship, school spirit, friendliness, support of school activities, co-operation, character, anil leadership. The girls who have been chosen to represent their classes arc a type of beauty through which life shines. They are the following: Agnes Hove, January '27 Re by Eggleston, June '27 Dorothy Guderian. Junior Alpha Albert, Sophomore Alice Olson, Freshman Vitge FourUfti RI; PR ESFNTATIV H BOYS This learned from the shadow of the tree Which to ami fro did sway upon the wall: Our influence, our shadow selves, may fall Where we may never be. —Anonymous. INFLUENCE is the power that comes from character. It is invisible hut it is effective. In the world of business, art, and society, a strong man’s influence is a power. It keeps other people and other things moving, and at the same time wins recognition, admiration, and appreciation. As influence is felt in the world at large, so is it felt in school life. It is based upon such characteristics as honesty, sincerity, loyalty, co-operation, and straight-forwardness. The student who possesses these qualities may become a star in his chosen field of work, hut he also becomes a leader in many fields. As a Freshman the student cannot hurst into glory and prominence at once; but he can start out on the road and keep going steadily. The Sophomore has more opportunities; and if he makes the most of them, his Junior year will be a happy journey. But the first three years are stepping stones to Senior stardom. On January 17, the “Most Representative Boy Students” were elected by the classes at the same time that the “Most Representative Girl Students” were chosen. The standards for judgment for the hoys were the same as those for the girls: scholarship, school spirit, friendliness, support of activities, co-operation, character, and leadership. The boys who were elected to represent their classes are some of South’s finest students. The teachers describe them as sincere, loyal, democratic gentlemen. These boys are: Richard Carlstrom, January '27 Hiram Johnson, June ’21 Charles Curtis, Junior William Anderson, Sophomore Ralph Frit ell, Freshman Page Fifteen Jr.kntom.

Its first issue was published April 5, 1916, and since then has been continually growing and improving. The Southerner is a member of Quill and Scroll, national honorary society for high school journalists, the Central Interscholastic Press Association, and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. It placed second in the national contest conducted by the latter organization in the spring of 1927. The Southerner's pride is its editorial page which won first place in the state contest in the fall of 1926. Judging from the comment of numerous competent critics, the staff believes its greatest achievement of the year has been the production of the best editorial page anywhere in scholastic journalism. Through the efforts of Miss Helen K. Blaisdell, faculty adviser, has been built up a well-defined organization of the editorial staff, and emphasis has been placed on certain specific objectives.

It designs to be progressive in acquainting itself with the most approved standards of the writers’ and printers' art, and to exercise this knowledge and skill in all student publications such as the newspaper, magazine, and annual. At the Press Club Meet of November 19, 1926, speaker guests were present from North. Central, Marshall, Edison, and the University High who spoke on different phases of publication experience. The Minnesota High School Press Association held its seventh annual convention November 12 and 13, 1926, with the Junior and Senior High Schools of Rochester, acting as hosts to 250 students from the high schools of the State. Official delegates from the Southerner were Charles Walmann, managing editor, Myla Masterson, news editor, Marshall Ryman, sports editor; from the Tiger: Agnes Hove, January editor-in-chief, Ruby Eggleston, June editor, and Katherine Grottum, art editor. Other representatives of the Southerner were Rose Seff, Marshall Field, Stanley Johnson, and Ruth Hagen. Miss Helen E.

Its members consisted of a group of enthusiastic pupils, who realized the good times they could have together experimenting and drawing. Among other pursuits they have tried stenciling with lace, tie and dye, and clay modeling. One of their plans is to spend many pleasant hours sketching anil painting out of doors this summer. The club is ever ready to assist in making posters for the school, and to do its part, as a club, in helping to carry out campaigns. Art Club is not a permanent name but will be used until a better one may be found. South 1 ligh has, previous to this time, boasted of many clubs such as literary, musical, and athletic, hut has never had an art club. Although its numbers are few at the present time, the Art Club will soon he one that South can he proud of. The members try to live up to their purpose of making art an interesting feature in our school, and encourage only the very best.

The membership represents the most outstanding leaders in all phases of school life, from the editor and business manager of the Southerner to the president and vice-president of the senior class. In fact. I). I). D. also claims leaders in both forensics and music. Besides having personality and good scholarship, a student must show ability in one or more of the three D's. To prove that this club is an asset to South, all that one has to do is to review its record this year: It has supplied South with three debating teams. The State Team brought the district championship to South this year. For the Follies, it contributed a minstrel act: for the pcP meetings, it has furnished the cheer leaders; for the advertising programs in the assembly and class-rooms, it has supplied the speakers. Membership has to be limited in order to do effective work so that there is always a long waiting list. A freshman has the same opportunity as a senior to become a member of this club if his ability is recognized by the club officers.

Fiction Club is a band of dreamers seeking adventure and treasure in every land and on every sea. They sail o'er the seas of fancy in a ship that is made of dreams; imagination is the sails, and inspiration is the breeze. livery land—whether it be the Land of Fears, Laughter, Pathos, or Joy—has seen the prow of the ship of Dreams nose into its harbor at intervals during the year. For a time the vessel rests at anchor while the dreamers go in search of things that can go into the making of a story or a book. Perhaps they find a gay, frail fan or a crushed flower— When the ship winds its way seaward again, it has stored in its hold a little hit of mystery, color, tragedy, comedy, and romance. Because dreamers have eyes that see and ears that hear, the ship has there the innermost heart of things. It has life! The dreamers take their treasures back to the Land of Reality; and there their pens weave them into many tales which they offer to the world.

The club was organized in 1915 with M iss Maren Michelet, first teacher of Norse in the high schools, as its adviser. The meetings not only establish social intercourse among the club members. but also offer interesting programs pertaining to Norse culture. Biographies and works of noted Norwegian authors, musicians, historians, artists, scientists, and explorers furnish educational topics for presentation and discussion. The Edda Club prepares its members to enter other Norse activities after graduation from high school. Being a member of the Edda Club stimulates one’s interest in the field of Norwegian literature, art, music, and science. The Junior Chapter of the American-Scandinavian Foundation welcomes all such students into its organization after their high school careers are completed. Page Tutnly-Fossr Johnson, Sot Jail.

Many varied programs have been given in the past year. Speakers, films, reports on Swedish topics have all been part of the meetings. By these programs the club has given the students a wider knowledge ot the Swedish people, customs, and history. It is in this way the club has succeeded in obtaining its purpose. The club meets every other Tuesday evening tor a business meeting and program, i lomecoming, which was held in December, saw many alumni back for a reunion with the present members. Characters from Swedish Mythology were presented by the Svithiod at a joint meeting which they held with the Edda Club. To increase the number of members, a campaign was started which proved to be very successful. At present there are about sixty members. This has been a splendid year, and it is hoped the club will continue to prosper and will remain a real part of the school life. Pagr Tvrnty-FtTf .It fit! ton. Flat hr, ff hilt kill, Cumf-btH.

Interesting resumes of the histories of statesmen, warriors and kings, games which by their foreign newness tax the alertness of the mind, lyric ami classical songs as well as a few late popular pieces sung and enjoyed by every one, folk dances which hold the interest of all, comprise a few of the diversities which make the meetings of our Cercle Francais a congenial place to acquire knowledge, at the same time giving each an opportunity to enjoy in every sense of the word the comic that may be included on the program.

Paving the way for the work of the Blue Triangle Club, these sophomore girls have held high their flame of light to reach girls who need its warmth, during their first year at South. The many activities of the club vary from educational talks anil discussions to social parties and banquets. Spiritual development is encouraged by devotionals at every meeting and a religious atmosphere at all ceremonies. Little services have been rendered by the girls when they have held inspiring programs to cheer the residents of Old I'olks’ Homes or have made homeless children happy by doing some small deed of kindness. Under the worthy leadership of Miss Nygaard of the V. Y. C.

South's Torch Club has progressed to a peak worthy of any club of like nature in the city. The aim of the Torch Club is to strengthen character and physique. This embodies many minor details, which are thoroughly studied and worked out to the benefit of all members. Activities of the club have been varied and represent nearly all interests in which the typical American boy indulges. During the fall, weiner roasts were enjoyed. Movies given at the club meetings explained many phases of mechanics. During the winter, basketball games were played. Club meetings arc always conducted with order and precision. Parliamentary rule is used at all times. With cooperation of fellow members and with instruction from the advisers, Mr. Overmire, Mr. Preston, and Mr. Jennings, the boys soon learn how to appear before an audience and how to speak with ease. Though many of the most industrious members pass from the sophomore to the junior year, thereby becoming ineligible for the Torch Club, the work ever progresses, and ever continues to build better boys for South, and for our country. •� «• T hilly Peterson, AmJerson, Mr. A’yJahl, Eritkson, Johnson Hurry, Anderson, Johnson, Carlson, Mikkrlson, Marlsold Prim, Ani mrn, Collogan, Stoll, Pilri FALL TERM Donald Collogan - -Robert Hughes - - -Donald Ecklund - -Stanley Andersen - -Glen Discher - - -Mr. Nydahl - - - - HI-Y OFFICERS - President - - Vice-president - - - - Secretary - - - - Treasurer - - - Sergeant-at-arms - - Adviser - - - SPRING TERM - - Robert Hughes Glen Discher Donald Ecklund Roy Anderson - Carlton Peterson - - - Mr. Nydahl “(CHARACTER is greater than intellect.” Based on this ideal is the work of the Hi-Y Club, which is composed of junior and senior boys.

The members participate in many social activities during the year. Last winter, a stag party was given at the home of Stanley Andersen. A city-wide Hi-Y Meet was held at the University, the first part of February. On Easter morning, the boys ate Easter breakfast at the Y. M. C. A. The I li-Y Club not only is of benefit to the individual but also to South High as a whole. Hi-Y has performed many services for the school such as editing and selling the “Orange and Black Pilot” and selling megaphones and tickets for the baseball and football games. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Ray Overmire, “Y” secretary, Mr. Theodore Nydahl, faculty adviser, and Dr. Logeteil, former member and adviser, the club has grown in number and has finished a successful year.

RIP VAN WINKLE Class of Janvary 1927 FOR two evenings Rip Van Winkle, presented by the January seniors, delighted and amused its audiences. The pathos and the laughter, the charm and the rich comedy of the play appealed to everyone; while Joe Wexler’s characterization of the henpecked Rip Van Winkle won him praise on every side. Whenever I have the pleasure of witnessing one of Miss Fish’s productions, I am always amazed, and I surely am pleased. 1 am amazed because people as young as high school boys and girls can he trained to do as well as they always do; and I am pleased because Miss Fish has the uncommon good sense to choose things which arc worthy to be produced by a high school and fall in with our general plan of education. I have never known her to stoop to claptrap stuff that makes a strong appeal to the average unreading, unthinking audience. She has always maintained standards and she has been true to her ideals. —W. F. Webster. Page Forty the bluebird Class of Jinf. 1927 THE Bluebird”—called a fairy fantasy of loveliness—is a play in which the fairy element symbolizes the action and characters. Two children, Mytyl and Tyltyl, aided by a mysterious Fairy and a little magic hat. go in search of the bluebird of happiness. The diamond on the magic hat helps the children see the soul of things and elements: the soul of Light, Bread, Hog. and Fire. Led by Light, these things and elements accompany Mytyl and Tyltyl on their search. They look for the bluebird in the land of Memory, the land of the Future, and at the palace of Night; but always the bird eludes them. Finally, Light takes the children home; and they find that the bluebird, which they searched for so diligently, is right there in their own home. Virgil Bergeron as Tyltyl and Bernice Rosen as Mytyl were a typical little boy and girl, while the other members of the cast lent themselves readily to the spirit of the production. Under the direction of Helen R. Fish and Rose M. Mucklev, and with the assistance of Mr. Raymond and his stage crew in the lighting and scenery arrange-merits, “The Bluebird proved one of the most beautiful as well as one of the most successful plays given at South. Pmjr Forty-One DRAMA THK Drama Course, an A-Senior elective subject, has a three fold purpose: first, it teaches the acting of a play; second, the reading of a play; and third, the criticising of a play. Under these main divisions the fields of activity are practically unlimited: and the tutorship of Miss 1 lelen R. Fish widens the understanding of the art of speaking, interpretation, and acting. A course in drama will not make a student a finished actor; nor does it pretend to have such an object in mind. But it offers many opportunities for the beginner to learn the fundamentals of acting, decorating, pantomiming, reading, and character work. Drama students not only take part in the class play; but they are also required to give pantomimes, character monologues, character projections, and book reports on modern plays. By no means the least important is the criticism of the daily class work. The writing of a play or the constructing of a stage set are two special projects which add color, and give more variety to drama activities.

THE STAGE CREW THKOL’GI I the cooperation of a group of capable boys who make up her stage-crew, South has been able to enjoy and make profitable use of her stage. John Remeta and Sverre Olson help Mr. Raymond with the electrical work of the stage; Gunnar Morin, Harold Hitchcock, Orville Henke, Or-vdle Hogue, Walter Spivak, Willard Hanley, Clarence Carlson, Fred Johnston, and Harold Johnson—all are members of the regular stage-crew. These boys, under the splendid direction and with the help of Mr. Raymond, take care of everything concerning the stage. The boys of the crew show the extent of their ability every time South gives a class play or an opera. At these times they have full charge of setting the scenery and of lighting both the stage and the auditorium. When there are speakers for the assembly, the boys must get the stage ready, have the curtain down, and have the lighting arranged. Scarcely an auditorium meeting is called without the boys' preparation of the stage. Manley Oas was formerly a member of the crew; but because of work outside of school, he was forced to discontinue his stage activities. John Lundberg, graduate of June, 1926, was of great assistance to Mr. Raymond. Besides being a successful stage hand, he is talented in the art of drawing and painting. While he was at South, he and John Remeta painted the log-cabin scenery which was used for the Lincoln-day program. Because of his interest, John comes back to school to help with almost every opera and play. File teachers and the student body wish to thank Mr. Raymond and the stage-crew for their artistic and efficient service. Pape Forty- Tkrer mssm Min «i Y. A'r nw.

Nelson, the debate coach, issued a call for volunteers, over ninety students answered that call. Out of this number, class teams were chosen. In the class contests, the January A Seniors composed of Helen Langert, Jane Robertson, and Donald Collogan won school championship. The State groups were then chosen from the volunteers who came out for debate. The first team composed of Sylvia Fruchtman, Charles Curtis, and Margaret Whitehill, brought the district championship to South when it defeated the Roosevelt trio at Roosevelt High, February 11. As a preparation for this battle, South debated Excelsior High and was victorious. The next encounter for State Championship was held at Center City, February 26. The debaters fought so strenuously that the judge admitted, himself, that the decision was not made until two minutes before the end of the debate; then South was eliminated from the State Contest. Still enthusiastic, however, South’s trio could claim one more decisive victory. They attacked three representatives of the Minneapolis Speakers’ Club, composed of I niversity graduates who are now business men, and received the laurels. South’s second debate team, Ralph Coursolle, I larriet Morse, and Voss Hollister assisted the first team in their preparation for the district and State contest. This team hail an interesting informal discussion with Excelsior High School. We wish to express our appreciation to Miss Byrnes of the Civics Department, Miss I.ucas of the English Department, and Miss Davidson and her assistants in the library for their interest and help.

South High colors, decorated the entire gymnasium, forming a large circus tent. Streamers from the lights to the balcony formed the top of the tent, and those from the balcony formed the sides. Joe Jung’s six-piece Eiger Orchestra furnished excellent music for the dancing, which formed the greater part of the evening’s entertainment. A very interesting feature was the gypsy fortune teller, in a tiny tentshaped booth in the southwest corner of the gymnasium. Miss Ida . Nelson, in the red cape and gold earrings of a gypsy, told the fortunes of all who came to her for a glimpse of the future. During an intermission Ruby Eggleston and Virgil Bergeron met as masqueraders at a mask ball. In trying to identify each other they provided an amusing and entertaining class prophecy. The grand march which followed was led by Richard Carlstrom and his partner, Genevieve Harris. The long double line of happy girls and boys made a lovely picture as it wound in and out about the gymnasium. Games were played during intermissions and punch was served on the little platform on the south side of the gymnasium. Fhe committee in charge of the party was composed of Virgil Bergeron, chairman, Ruby Eggleston, Ruth Hagen, Mildred Bcrntsen, Hiram Johnson, Ralph Coursolle, Donald Drc w s, Fletcher Cumbey, Grace Knoblauch, Earl Vaag, and Earl Vanda. ’uyr For yHxc The “S” Parties The first “S” party of the term was held October 7, 1027. on the second floor of the old building. I'nder the able direction of Miss Rose Fortier, the hall was decorated with streamers and pennants. Miss Jenin Watt had charge of the tickets, and Miss Ida V'. Nelson provided entertainment in the form of programs. The “S” parties or “S” hops were given throughout the school year, usually after the football and basketball games. Formerly they were held in the gymnasium, but because the new gym was not completed, they were held on the second floor of the old building. Alumni were always welcomed at the S” hops. Following the Homecoming Banquet Friday, November 12, 1926, a special “S party was held in order that the alumni could meet old friends and once more feel at home at South. Streamers in rainbow colors and Japanese lanterns and umbrellas turned the hall on the second floor into a fairyland for the “S” party held January 18, 1927. This party closed the football season and introduced the basketball season. Preceding the party, two plays, “A Night at an Inn, and “Between the Soup and Savory were given by the members of the drama classes. The plays were coached by Miss Helen R. Fish.

I low can nothing be nothing when nothing actually is something? One week of intensive study and concentration on this question proved too great a strain on philosophic Al’s nerves and he is now confined to his bed recuperating from a nervous breakdown. Philosophy from the sick bed might sound a bit sensational, but in this case many agree that it is bewildering as well. Al, who is also the originator of the problem, stated that he firmly believes nothing is nothing. Of course his theoretical proofs have not been denied, but he insists that the dictionary defines nothing as being something. The following will relate some of the fundamentals upon which his hypotheses are based. “First,” Al declared, using his grammatical knowledge to good advantage, “nothing is a noun; a noun is the name of something; what is nothing the name of? Nothing is nothing, so how can something be derived from nothing?” Continuing his criticism of the dictionary, Al went on to sarcastically explain how this misled book says that nothing means zero. It is a well known fact that a zero means more than something to pupils at South, especially the red zeros. The numerous swollen ears and cramped fingers of late are also grim witnesses which claim zero to be more than merely something. “The dictionary also defines nothing as being something unimportant, insignificant, or as being a triHe.” Continued Al, “What is more unimportant than a ‘freshie’? Yet a freshman is really something. Few things arc more insignificant than a little pin but certainly when we consider its popularity as a ‘weapon’ and how well it sometimes serves us in extreme emergencies, we will all readily agree that it too is something.” “Speaking of triHes,” Al exclaimed, still taking the role of critic, “what could be a better example of a trifle than an innocent little wad of gum lying on the sidewalk? Picture yourself cleaning that gum off the sole of your shoe and you will also admit through gritted teeth that even trifles are something.” Al has threatened to publish a new edition of the dictionary unless this error is immediately corrected. Several parties have failed to even comprehend what the problem is about and are of the opinion that Archimedes himself would have failed to solve it. Al’s growing list of friendly followers are backing him and exclaiming in one accord, “You’re right, Al; the dictionary’s wrong.” —Al.VIN UrSETII, Southerner. Paiff Forly-Kif ht A DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Excerpts from essay awarded third place in a national contest conducted by The Quill and Scroll. IT was not by oversight that the framers of the Constitution refused to confer upon the National government power over education in the states. Questions pertaining to education occupied their attention, but their conclusion was that a matter so intimately dealing with the welfare of the people should be left under control of the states. The continued centralization of all functions of the government in bureaus in Washington can only result in the breaking down of efficiency. If, added to the essentially national affairs of public defense, relationship with foreign countries and the promotion of justice between the states, the Federal government assumes the promotion of all phases of general welfare of the people, inefficiency will result; for without enormous added expense to undertake the work the states are now doing, it could not cope with the problem; present bills provide for no federal aid. On the other hand centralization of governmental functions in Washington will result in indifference on the part of citizens who will soon cease to be free and independent as they are under the present system of education. Of all forms of government, those administered by dictatorial departments arc the least satisfactory. Centralization has as its result bureaucracy, tyranny, inefficiency, and decline. Being irresponsible, these bureaus become autocratic; and being autocratic, they resist all development. Unless constantly resisted, bureaucracy caused by centralization tends to break down representative government and overwhelms a complete democracy. By creating a Department of Kducation with a Secretary in the President's Cabinet we immediately project education into politics. By reason of party cohesion, the secretary will change as the president changes, forming continually a chain of politics and giving the office inevitably to a man, who by reason of party obligation and desire for re-appointment cannot give his unbiased judgment on those issues which most need it. Is it human to suppose that this appointee, wielding the vast powers of patronage and appointment that his executive position gives him, can throw aside party feeling, and deal out impartial justice to forty-eight different states? The time has come then for the people of the states to guard well that boundary line between state and Federal authority, or the time may come when we shall be ruled by a great Central bureaucracy acting through Federal inspectory, regulations, anil agents. Needless to say, such a bureaucracy would be the very antithesis of that government of the people, by the people, anil for the people. —Charles Curtis, Debate. t'm t horly-Xitr PUPPETS .founded a place in the National Scholastic Contest MONSIKl R OK JKANS ushered Maryln into his warm little living room; ami as he drew up a chair for her, he noticed that her eyes were rebellious hut flushed with tears, and that her mouth was trembling. 1 le saw that she had not removed the make-up from her cheeks, or lips, or eyes; anil that underneath the green cloak, she still wore her stage costume. When Maryln had sat down, Monsieur walked over to a box on the table. ‘‘I was amusing myself with the marionettes, ” he said. Picking up numerous thread-like ropes, he wound them about his fingers. Maryln watched Monsieur’s long, white hands slip in and out among the strings; she noticed how skillfully he moved the marionettes where he wished. Curious dolls—were those puppets; some were ugly, some lovely, with stiff arms and legs fastened to the ropes; legs and arms that obeyed the dictates of Monsieur’s touch. There was Jean, the clown, whose dark eyes, dark eyebrows, and finely modeled, crimson lips made splashes of color on the chalky-whiteness of his face; there was Marie, the dancer, whose small, oval face, framed by a cloud of black hair, appeared almost human; and Pierre, the sewer rat, with unkempt hair, and his right eyebrow curving like a bent bow above his eye. There were I lerbelot, the acrobat, and Francoise, a dancer. And way back in the box were many, many others. “'Phis is my theatre,” said Monsieur, and the melody of music was in his voice. “But, Monsieur,”—began Maryln. A sob made her voice quiver. Monsieur silenced her with his eyes. “1 know, Child; I know why you came. But listen! “This is my theatre,” he repeated, softly, “and these are my players. There are many of them, you sec, but first among them is my Marie and my Jean.” The tapering fingers twitched upon the thread: Marie came forward, and after her came Jean. “But a week ago they began to act for me, but already I love them. They are artists, those two. You can see the earnestness of Jean and the sweetness of Marie. Is not Jean a strange fellow? Does not the black ruff against the whiteness of his face make him look strange and pictur- 3” esque.' Ma ryln leaned forward, “Yes, Monsieur.’ ’.� � ■ Hfiy “If his arms could hold a violin I would have had him be a musician, the Frenchman said with a sigh, “for he has the melancholy that belongs to a musician. But instead, 1 have made a dancer out of him. I le guided Jean into a series of fantastic steps; made him bow. “And Marie! Is she not exquisite? She does the dance of Flame.” I he marionette, almost a living thing in her bright crimson dress, pirouetted, swayed on her still legs, came up on her toes, bowed her slender body. After her bow, the Monsieur drew both Jean and her hack to their former positions. “Before Jean and Marie began to act, the leaders of my company were I Icrbelot and Francoise. Francoisc was the premiere danseuse de ee monde while I ierbelot was a great acrobat. They were given the leading parts in my little plays; they ruled my little theatre. But when I engaged Marie and Jean, Francoise and I Ierbelot lost prominence. They were older; their acts were older; while Jean and Marie were young, and their acts were young! Through wondering eyes Maryln saw Herbelot and Francoise bow stiffly. She noticed that I lerhelot’s suit was shabby, and that Francoise’s hair was not as well dressed as Marie's. “Next comes Pierre. I le is at present my villain, and a very evil one he makes. He replaced Roland. “Roland is old, said the Monsieur, as he pulled the rope. “Soon Pierre will be old, anil I will seek another villain,—one who is new. One by one Monsieur De Jeans displayed the dolls to Maryln, and told her how each one had replaced another as leading lady or leading man. “You understand?” he questioned, softly, his fine gray eyes searching Maryln’s face. The girl's eyes were full of tears, dim, blinding tears. “Oh, Monsieur, you are mocking me! “No, no! he protested. “No one is great enough to mock anyone else, least of all myself, Petite. But I have not finished my story. “My marionettes rule for a time, and then they give way to someone else because I will it, because I am tired of them. Perhaps they are unhappy because they no longer receive the full glare of the footlights. Who knows? And yet what can they do? They are not human; they have no will power. My hands furnish their only initiative. But if they were human! Oh, what then? Perhaps they would leave me when they see someone else is pushing them into the background, and start out for themselves; or go with another company who would be glad to secure their talents. Or still, they might remain with me—afraid to make the venture. He shrugged his shoulders. “Who knows? Pat)f Fifty-One rV-vs - : With her hands clasped in front of her and her eyes on the marionettes, Maryln came toward him. For many seconds, the ticking of the mahogany clock on the mantle was the only sound in the room. When Maryln spoke, her voice was very low and quiet. I am a puppet, and I am not Marie,—I am Francoise. Today the director gave the new actress the lead, and put me in a minor role—as a maid. For the past four weeks I have been treated like that. And I came to tell you—. But. Monsieur, we shall see, we shall see.” She smiled at him. “I may he a puppet, hut I am a human one.” “That is so, Petite,” Monsieur murmured ever so softly. At the door, Maryln turned around. “Some day I shall say ‘thank you',” she said. A year later Monsieur De Jeans sat in a box at a crowded theatre where third balcony seats sold for fifteen dollars, and watched a slender, flaming figure pirouette, sway, dance on her toes—while a white-faced clown played a haunting, exquisite melody on a violin. He watched the curtain fall amidst thundering applause, and rise again for an encore. At the end of the act. Monsieur’s hand sought a sheet of white paper in his pocket, on which were written the words: “1 thank vou.” —Kt by Eggleston, Fiction Club. AUTOMOBILES A UTOMOBILES in my opinion, are divisible into two species, like ani-mals—the vicious and the non-vicious. The Ford, as most of us know from experience, belongs to the vicious class. To prove this just try to crank it with the spark down. A few years ago I got careless and bought a second-hand Ford, and from that day until this I have been in one continual mess of trouble. The Ford I bought made me feel like a Littleendian who had by accident invited a Gulliver as a guest: for after filling up the gas tank a few times, I had to marvel at the power of consumption that P'ord had for gas. I decided to change the nick-name of the Ford, which is Lizzie, to Gulliver; but a few months later I found out that I had made the saddest mistake in the world, for I was calling the poor thing by a male name when it was a female. I found my mistake by an accident. It happened during a hot summer afternoon last year, when I took the family out riding in Gulliver. After riding for a few hours we stopped in front of a farm house that had a sign advertising eggs at a very cheap price. After securing some of the eggs from the farmer, a question arose as to where we should put them, because the car was crowded. I, who really thought I was clever, decided to put them under the hood, right above the engine. After obtaining a wire letter-basket from the farmer I put the six dozen eggs in it, fastened it under the hood, and started for home. The Ford on its homeward trip went along so nicely that the owner of a Lincoln would have envied me. I got home in fine shape; drove the car into the garage, and began to feel that my Page Fifty-Ttio troubles of tightening connecting rods and putting new parts into the engine were over when I heard a cracking sound from under the hood. I ran over to Gulliver, lifted up his hood expecting to see the motor falling apart. I received the greatest shock in my life when I discovered the racket to come from the cracking of egg shells. The eggs were actually hatching. Now when you or I happen to see an egg hatch, we most certainly expect to see a Huffy little chicken stick his hill out, and then his head, and gaze wonderingly about. But on this occasion nothing of that sort happened; for the first thing I caught sight of, after the breaking of the shells, was a tiny wheel, then another, and then a windshield with two little headlights under it gazing about. After this object, which proved to he a young Ford, got away from its shell, it jumped from the motor to the fender, slid down the fender to the running board, and then jumped to the garage Hoor. During the time this phenomenon was taking place, the cracking in the wire basket began to sound like the popping of corn; and from each shell emerged a young Ford which followed the example of the first one. In about ten minutes there were seventy-two little Fords running around on the garage Hoor. Lizzie, who had been misnamed Gulliver up until then, saw that there might he some danger in letting her little ones run around wild, so she called them to roost under her. The tragedy of this great experience was my forgetting to buy gasoline to feed the young ones; therefore they all died. Of course the tragedy was really fortunate for me, because how could I ever have afforded to support seventy-two Fords? Still it affected me in an indirect way by making Lizzie so weak from brooding over her loss that I have never been able to use her since. —Vernon Roofs, English S6. WHAT HOME HAS MEANT TO ME Excerpts from an essay printed by the Minneapolis Journal in an all-city contest. LINCOLN once said that he owed everything to his home and his mother, and I also believe there is nothing finer and more inspiring than home and the comfort and sympathy of father anil mother. The greatest thing I have been taught in my home is the knowledge of what is right or wrong and the teaching of the word of God. My parents always stress the studying of the Bible and the value of attending church. Another characteristic of my home is the interest and fellowship that exists between my father and me. He does not belong to clubs or lodges, and many long winter nights we sit and talk about things in common. I le teaches me many things which he has learned through experience. My home and parents have meant more to me than I can possibly tell in words, and so I want to thank my parents for what they have sacrificed for me. —Arnold Runoquist, English S6. 1‘nifi Fifly’Tkret MY BLUE VASE Awarded second place in a national contest conducted by The Quill and Scroll. A BLUE vase is on my table— With pink cherry blossoms Wound around it; Inside the vase is a sweet perfume— Mystical even in its sweetness— Suggestive of the Last with Its trembling winds, its poppies. So many hands have touched my vase, Young hands—with an initial ring On one linger—have traced The cherry blossoms out on the blue; Baby hands have patted it With dimpled little lists. I lands—well-cared for, But strangely old—have lingered it; Blue-veined hands of an old lady,— And the long, tapering linger Of an artist sensitive to each line Of the old vase's beauty. One day a tramp touched it, And his hands were dirty— But his eyes lighted at The blue and pink of it. A gypsy girl in brilliant red Admired the pink blossoms, Went into ecstacy over the Haunting perfume. An antique dealer clutched it, And was loath to let be; A youngster looking for a toy, Pushed it carelessly aside. I have touched it many times, I lave held it and traced The pink blossoms too. I have lingered over it Fifty-Four Letting the perfume slip Into my soul. For it is A vase of other days, Rich in jeweled memories. —Ruby Kggi.eston, Inkpah. MINNESOTA Prologue TWO warriors stood on the crest of a hill, Illumined in the sun’s last ray. Their forms were gaunt, standing still, And they were gazing far over the hay. Their shadows as stone, and stoic laces Turned not back, but ever on. Their looks were not of possession, But wonder at this—the land they had won. I. Sky Blue Water. The shadows of dusk outline the blue Of ripples, stretching to beyond. Their lapping, to their hearts imbue A surge of feeling, trembling, fond. II. Dawn.

A MUDDY STREAM I SAW a muddy stream Winding its somber way, And caught a golden gleam From the depths of its murky gray; Deeper and deeper I gazed Into the colorless stream Until 1 saw, half dazed, A thousand hues anti sheens. Silvery sadness of the moon, Weirdness of a gray sand dune. Green gold of a mermaid’s hair, Tawny gold in a lion's lair; Green of verdure in the spring. Dusky blue of an old wrought ring. The rosy red of lovely lips. The fading hues of worn out ships: Colors of happiness—colors of love, Colors of sorrow,—gray of the dove: Colors that are the substance of dreams Lie in the depths of muddy streams. —Rose Seff, Pegasus.

DAWN ON the Hilltops, on the Lowlands, On the great and kingly Mountains, On the Ocean, ever busy, Came the soft and gentle Dawn.

Birds, from their nests in tree-tops, Sang their songs of joy and love; Sang them slowly, ever sweeter, Directed by God, above. Flowers, from their beds of fragrance, Awakened and blossomed anew; Blossomed with love, ever greater. Always growing, ever true.

Page Fifiy-Xinr Athletics CHOOSING THE MEN Otto Eggebrecht, Athletic Coach A REAL coach is a true democrat. He will choose players of ability, who have a real desire to win a school letter, rather than men who have been touted as stars and are cock sure of a place on the team, but who have only a vague idea of what a 100 per cent effort means. They should be men with nerve and cheerfulness, who do not complain too readily of minor humps and bruises. Any one who is inclined to be sorry for himself on slight provocation is pretty sure not to make a good athlete, however well he may be equipped otherwise. In other words, he must be a courageous hoy with endurance, heart, and grit. If we combine the above mentioned qualities we have an ideal athlete, which we often call the “jewel. 1 hope the South High School athletes of 1927-28 will all be classified in this select group. This is the kind of men that any coach would prefer to have and 1 know that this kind will go a long way toward bringing more championships to South High School. TRAINING Evan O. Williams, Athletic Coach IF you want to take part in athletics, the first thing to remember is that almost without exception the best athletes in every branch of sport have been made by training. They weren’t born that way. Of course a boy who is naturally active and fleet footed will win over a slow clumsy boy, but he will not win over the boy who is equally quick but who has faithfully trained to combine his natural ability with correct form. If you take a dozen or twenty boys of average ability, with proper training, almost any of them can make a creditable showing in some kind of athletics if he has the will to do it. And the boy that does train often comes along so fast that he soon passes the boy who depends solely on natural ability as an excuse for a lack of training. In all forms of athletics, the foundation is “condition”—good physical shape. Every boy knows he can add to his strength by systematic exercise and to his wind by running. No boy in training should smoke: neither should he eat indigestible food or eat to excess. If he does these things, when he gets into gruelling competition with another boy who has observed strict rules of training, he will find that the will to win and the ability to win are two different things. The boy who has controlled himself will beat him to a standstill. In training to win, remember that the first showing you make usually has no bearing on the final result. Very often the boy who starts with a handicap is a winner in the end because by persistence he has perfected himself in certain details which the natural athlete has overlooked.

Of this number ten were veterans, and many of the others were promising young players. With this material to work with, Williams formed an aggregation that made up for its lack of weight by developing into a fast team with lots of tight. To start the season, the South eleven battled Central on South s new athletic field. In the first half the Tigers clearly outplayed their rivals, smashing the line for good gains, completing many long passes, and holding the Central team for little gain. Although they seemed to gain ground at will, South was able to score only one touchdown. This was when Broberg, completing a long pass, brought the ball within scoring distance, and Discher scored with a sweeping end run. In the second half, Central turned on their foes with more fight and tied the score in the third quarter. The opponents then battled on even terms for the rest of the game. Although South was held to a tie by Central, they came back in the Edison game and swamped the Tommies 47 to 0. This marked the largest score that had been run up so far this season. Only once was South's goal threatened. The Southerners punted to the Tommies who ran the ball back to the Tiger’s 14 yard line. I lere Edison fumbled: and Discher, who is known for his spectacular work, scooped the ball up and raced 85 yards for a touchdown. When Edison saw that they could not gain by straight football, they tried passes. South showed their strength again with Williams, substitute end, intercepting four Edison passes and knocking down many others. Fat r SixtfTw S.

Starting the game with a fast driving attack, the Tigers marched up the field time after time, but couldn't put it over for a touchdown until in the third quarter. During the first half the South eleven outfought and outplayed their opponents who, although outweighing the Southerners, did not register one first down during that half. In the first quarter Discher, who had been skirting the ends with great success, was hurt so badly that he could not finish the game. This misfortune forced South to rely on charges at the strong North line for most of their gains. Although the Tiger backs could stand these charges for a while, they were finally worn down. After South scored their one touchdown of the game, North battled their way down the field for two touchdowns, which gave them the victory by the score of Id to 6. Marshall defeated South 21 to 0. In this game the Tigers did not display their usual brand of strong play. Although Marshall had it their own way during most of the game, the outstanding feature was the brilliant playing of “AT Broberg, South’s fighting fullback. On the offense, he went through the line for many gains of 5 and 10 yards, sometimes dragging most of the Marshall line with him. On the defense he was in on almost every play, and intercepted many passes. The Southerners came into their own again by defeating the weak Roosevelt eleven by the score of 45 to 0. Here again, Broberg was the main cog in the 'Tiger machine, scoring 5 out of the 7 touchdowns. Discher also played well, breaking away for an 85 yard run, which gave the fans the thrill of the afternoon. E. Nelson scored the other touchdown. South ended the season by defeating West 48 to 0. Although Broberg, Page Sixty-Three Connolly and Rasmussen were the outstanding players in this game, the whole team showed up well. “Al Broberg was the most consistent player on the South eleven. He was on the receiving end of most of South's passes, and the entire offense was built around him. His all around playing won for him the fullback position on all of the all city teams. Ilstrup and Connolly were the mainstays of the line. The former was tackle on one of the local papers' all-city team; Connolly was Captain of this year’s eleven. Others who played well this season are Discher, Swanson, Stol .e, Mik-kelson, Rasmussen. Carlstrom, and Larson. Washburn, a recently built high school, will enter an eleven next fall, thus promising to increase the intense rivalry between the schools during the football season. Next fall’s gridiron hopes are soaring high since Discher, Mikkelson, Williams, Ware. I hi, Ness, and Peters, all of whom are lettermen, will return for football.

BASEBALL, 1926 WITH more than half the team veterans, the Orange and Black nine started the 1926 baseball season as one of the three leading contenders for the title. The first game resulted in a pitcher's duel between Alton Broberg of South and Vanusek of Edison. This contest ended in a 4 to 4 tie after ten innings of errorless ball had been played. In the next game, with Broberg in great form, the Tigers downed West, 10 to 5. Steenquist plastered the offerings of the West hurlcrs for two home runs in this tussle. This victory was followed by a 10 to 4 loss to Marshall. Then South downed North, 5 to 4. Broberg hurled superbly in this affair while Connolly brought in the winning run, in the eighth inning, with his four base clout. Although the Southerners did not win the title, they did what no other Minneapolis high school team could do, namely, defeat North, the title holders. During the second round of play, the Southerners were not quite so successful as they were in the first. Although they won from West, they were defeated by Edison, Marshall, and North. Every game, however, was a battle from start to finish, with the Southerners never giving up hope. April April .

BASKETBALL ANEW type of schedule was adopted for the 1927 basketball season, with South, North, Edison, and Marshall in the North division and Central, Roosevelt, West, and Washburn in the South division. South started out strong by overwhelming Marshall, 30 to 6. The next two games found the Tiger athletes being conquered by the strong North and Edison fives. From then on South did not lose a game until the second round of the National Tournament. The South team finished second in its division with a total of four wins and two setbacks. In the City title tournament the scores were: South 23, Washburn 11 ; South 22, Edison 17: South 22, North 12. In the game for regional honors, the South boys, in a brilliant victory, overwhelmed Johnson High of St. Paul, 29 to 16, thereby entering the State Tournament. Those receiving letters are Tvcraa, Broberg, Rasmussen, Ware, West-man, Huppe, Williams, Mikkelson, Andrcsen, Myers, Nelson, and Ellsworth Peterson and John Hrkal, student managers.

In the state title tournament, the Tigers were pitted against the highly-touted New Ulm five which had come through its season with a remarkable record of 21 consecutive triumphs. The Southerners upset all calculations of a close contest by piling up a total of 23 points to New L lm’s 13. The Tigers continued their conquests by downing the Faribault basketeers in a game replete with thrills and action. Then came the big game and victory for South. The game deciding the State crown wearer was fought fiercely between a clever, elusive and lightning-like Tiger team and a fighting, smooth and cool Kxcelsior outfit. The Southerners early in this game, established a lead which was never headed off, although the score at the half was 10 to 7. After the Minnetonka quint had increased its total to 9 counters, the growling Tigers went on a scoring rampage that bestowed on them the championship of M innesota. South drew a bye in the first round of the National Tournament and lost a heartbreaking contest to Florence, Mississippi in the second round. The Tigers were eliminated from further competition in the tournament when Gilbert, Arizona, handed the South quint a 27-17 setback in the first round game of the consolation division.

HOCKEY UNDER the guidance of Merrill Mclnerny, the South pucksters came through a wonderful season with three members of the team being honored with positions on mythical “All City” sextettes chosen by various newspapers. The Southerners opened the season by going down to defeat before the North Six, 1 to 0, and before the Edison team, 2 to 0. The next two games found a rejuvenated Tiger outfit taking the measure of Marshall, 4 to 0 and 4 to 2, respectively. By downing North and Edison, the team tied with the Polars for second place. North conquered the Southerners 2 to 0 in the playoff for second position. In the first round game of the city tournament the Tigers tied the championship West team, 1 to 1, and then were defeated, 6 to 1, in the playoff. Page Sixty-Eight Pott Rite Cutler Helton Dale Runet GOLF SOLTI I 111CJ11'S 1926 coif team rounded through its schedule to finish in fourth place with a five hundred percentage. The Southerners had three victories and as many setbacks to their credit and were the only group to defeat the champion Kdison quartette. The Tiger hunker artists would have undoubtedly finished higher in the standings had they not had the misfortune to lose Art Tveraa, conquerer of Chick Lvans, when he was obliged to leave school for a time. Kd. Nelson also was forced to end his scholastic duties temporarily. In the first three meets, Tveraa played close to par golf and was the low scorer each match. A default to West in the last match of the season further reduced the Southerners in the final standings. Letter winners are Dale, Bunes, Nelson, l oss. Rice, Lee, and Olson. Page Sixty-Hint CROSS-COUNTRY THK hill and dale team of South I ligh School closed a fairly successful season when the fall of 1926 came to a close. Lack of material was a handicap to the team; nevertheless the hoys came through the season with colors flying. Willard Hanley was the highlight for the Tigers, having garnered a total of forty-four points in four successive city meets. I lanley was the only Southerner entered in the two and one-half mile event. When the State meet rolled around, the Southerners seized a wonderful opportunity and copped second place. Olson of Roosevelt shattered the record for the two and one-half mile event in this meet. Gray, of South, in a thrilling finish, broke the tape one second behind the Roosevelt runner. Carlton Peterson finished fourth. Members of the team were Carlton Peterson, Raymond Gray, Roy Nelson, Sherman Peterson, Willard I lanley, and John Kovach. Letter winners arc Nelson, Gray, Dustrude, S. Peterson, Hanley, C. Peterson, and Kovach. Although the South harriers went down to defeat in every meet in which they participated, nevertheless they gave plucky exhibitions, and were defeated, not because of the poor ability of the team, but because of the fact that there were so few runners on the squad. Willard Hanley is the only harrier that will return next year. Pa ftr Sevrnlv .1 or Ir n ton, Spivak, S gal. Johnson, EJrtkuly. Clrver, iVrhon.

The Tiger swimmers were quite green and inexperienced; yet they made fair showings in every meet. In the initial swim of the season the Southerners were downed by the Edison splashers, 41 to 19. Clever, Stedt, and Spivak were the only Tigers to score points in this meet, Clever taking second in the 100 yard breast stroke event and in the 100 yard free style swim, Stedt placing second best in the 40 yard splash, and Spivak copping first in the 100 yard free style anti third in the diving event. The crack West team took full measure of the Orange and Black swimmers in the next meet to the tune of 55 to 13. Another defeat was donated to the Southern mermen when the Central tanksters splashed their way to a 52-17 victory. This meet marked the close of the swimming season tor the Southerners. The Tigers did not fare so well this season, since they dropped their meets to Central, West and Edison. The South tanksters will all return next year with the exception of Stedt, who will graduate in June. Therefore we should believe that a prosperous season is in store for the 1928 Tiger tank team. The lettermen for this season are Hanley, Spivak, Stedt, and Johnson. Pag StvrntyOn msm, Tar: Kyimm, Katanian. Mr. Mmurr, AnJresen, Ohou. TENNIS SOL I I I S spring tennis team had four veterans left over from the previous season, to form the nucleus of the net squad. The veterans were Kdquist, Lindhjem, Scherer, and Andresen. Marshall Hyman won the right to fill the vacant position as a result of his winning the tournament that was conducted especially for the purpose. The Orange and Black racquet wielders seemed to he guided by fate for both spring ami fall teams finished in third place. The Tiger boys opened the season’s competition by losing close matches to North and West. Then followed a match with Central in which the Southerners ran circles around the Red and Blue team. In this match the South net men were in top form. Captain Peter Kdquist, Floyd Scherer, Neil Lindhjem, Ray Andresen, and Marshall Ryman constituted the spring team. Andresen and Ryman were the only men left to carry on South’s tennis hopes for the fall of ’26, but Don Olson and Bennie Katzman filled the vacancies creditably. Andresen had the honor of captaining the Orange and Black racqueteers. Those receiving letters are Andresen, Ryman, Olson. Katzman, Kdquist, Scherer, and Lindhjem.

TRACK THE South track team of 1926, which started practice on March 23, had on it many veterans. Although the team was handicapped because it had no weight men, it usually made a good showing. The first meet in which they entered was the Hamline Relays. At this meet South placed third. On May fifteenth, the South tracksters went to the Carleton meet. Glen Discher was South’s star. In the 100 yard dash preliminary, Discher beat the state record, but it will not be counted as a new record because if was made in a preliminary event. In the final dash, Discher placed third. At the 17th Annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, Discher was the only South lad to place. The team consisted of Discher and Haugsrud for the 100 yard dash; Discher and Carlstrom for the 220 yard dash; Stolze, Carlstrom, and Judy for the 440 yard dash; Dustrude, Sherman Peterson, Carlton Peterson, and Judy for the 880 yard run; Discher, Carlstrom, Smith, and Haugsrud for the half mile relays; Smith and Nelson for the broad jump; Nelson for the high jump, and Gray for the pole vault. Most of these were back for the 1927 team. At the meet held at Carleton College, Northfield, this spring the following scores were made: Central, 38 points; North, 32)4 points: Edison, 22$4; Vest, 22)4: Roosevelt, 12: South, 10J4 : St. Paul Mechanic Arts, V ot a point.

Captain Schennum was the high point man for the Southerners, having captured eighth place individual honors by virtue of his being the best artist on the rings and the seventh best on the horse. The Tiger pair of Rays —Dustrude and Gray—came in for their share of the honors when Dustrude tied Dotson of Central for fourth place on the horse and Gray cinched fifth place on the horizontal bars. In the Northwestern gym meet, the boys from South took fourth place among the Twin City entrants and captured eighth in the entire Class C competition. In this meet Gray took highest points among the Tigers, while Dustrude finished third in the club swinging competition. Letter winners arc Dustrude, Dahlberg, Discher, Schennum (Captain), Kkberg, Shepherd, Peterson, Dally, Kamm, and Gray. MERRILL McINERNY MERRILL McINERNY, former star Tiger athlete, still holds a spotlight in the school athletic interests. During the past year he has coached both the gymnastic and hockey teams with wonderful success. He displayed a loyalty to South by taking over these difficult duties, arul we certainly owe him hearty thanks. Merrill graduated in January, 1926, thus bringing to a close a brilliant athletic career. While attending South he was a member of the football team, gymnastic team, and hockey team, being selected by the newspapers as an all-city hockey player. Pant S, tmly-Et m m THE ROOTER KINGS LEADING the South cheering students this year were lfred Anderson, Harlan Byncll. and Virgil Bergeron, rooter kings. These three boys always showed their eager spirit by urging the South rooters to strain their vocal chords to a greater extent. During the football season “Virgie ”, I larlan, and Alfred could be seen prancing up and down the gridiron leading thundering locomotive cheers for the South warriors. Graduation found “AT and 1 larlan leaving “Virgie to carry on the cheering duties. When Basketball season rolled around Dick Mattson had joined “Virgie, and these two rooter kings, although handicapped by lack of South’s enthusiasm, worked like Trojans and inspired the rooters into an eager frenzy. The outfits of the rooter kings this year consisted of orange sweaters, short, white knickers, and orange socks; these sporty outfits lent color to the games. MELVIN JOHNSON THIS young skating star again was in the thick of all skate meets during the 1927 blade season, hut did not fare as well as last year at which time he won the World's Intermediate title. Melvin did not defend his crown against the Intermediates this year, but instead, sought the World’s Senior laurels. In this meet, he copped two third places and one second place. “Mai was handicapped somewhat when he suffered the ill luck of breaking his nose. Charles Gorman, the winner of the World’s senior title, O'Neil, and Farrell were some of the world-known stars against whom our modest, dashing blade artist contended. Page Stventy-Five GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION o F f i c e r s PALL TERM SPRING TERM Alfreda Olson ----- President - - - Mary Helen Richard Mary Helen Richard - - 'ice-president ----- Elsie Friberg Marie Fink - - - - Secretary-Treasurer - - Eleanor Johnson TI IK Girls’ Athletic Association has done much towards creating a spirit of friendliness among the girls of South High. Any girl may belong to this organization; and if she is up to standard in her studies, she may work for the trophies, which are awarded according to the point system: for the first hundred points the girl receives a numeral: when she reaches the six hundred point goal she is awarded an “S ; and after earning one thousand points she is given a silver loving cup. Athletic activities of the girls turn to hiking, swimming, track, diamond-ball, tennis, skating, volleyball, and folk dancing. The girls receive fifty points if they attend six hikes, or join the folk-dancing class. They win one hundred points if they are chosen as members of the first team in volleyball or diamondball, and each member of the squad is awarded fifty points. The points for swimming, track, tennis, and skating are awarded according to the participant’s skill. Because of the fact that the gymnasium was being repaired last fall, there were no G. A. A. athletic activities during the term, and the chances of ambitious girls to win one thousand points were eliminated. I lowever, I lelen Brass and Levina Judy, by dint of some excellent work the previous semester, succeeded in winning one thousand points and were awarded silver loving cups. The graduating girls who have previously won their Page Seventy-Six Jutfy Hit hard Otsan Fink Bran cups are Alfreds Olson, Lucille Wise, and Mae Jensen; those who have received letters are Virgiline Shanahan, Jean Mclnerny, and Mary Helen Richard. Although they were handicapped by the lack of the gymnasium, they were not altogether out of the running, and the G. A. A. had the honor of having its name engraved on the silver loving cups for having sold the most season football tickets for 1926. The Spring term has found the organization in perfect working order again. During the spring months diamondball teams were organized by the Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. A schedule was arranged and the teams battled each other for the championship of the school. On Cedar Field, one could see our future feminine “Babe Ruths and “Ty Cobbs” indulging in furious slugging matches, and new hurlers being sent to the mound. In another competition Violet Peterson ran off with high jump honors by clearing the bar at 4 feet 3 inches. Beatrice Nelson and Pauline Jack were close on her heels, having jumped 4 tcet 2 inches and 4 feet 1 inch, respectively. In this manner the girls are led to compete against each other in friendly rivalry for various honors, thus promoting a spirit of fellowship and friendship throughout. Since the gymnasium classes and activities were continued again this spring after an enforced vacation during the remodeling ot the gymnasium, the Ci. A. A. has grown and feels enthusiastic about its work for next fall. ’iitfi SfvrmtySrvta G RADUATION With its pomp, its ceremony Is a joyous time, A sad time, in which The importance, beauty, and happiness Are mingled with the regret Of leaving the old places, The old friends.

Page One UtinJrtJ Thirteen The dancer On her twinkling toes, The clown With his painted, Funny face, Break into the monotony Of work-a-day life, Trailing fun and frolic, Jest and laughter, In their wake. nr; THE FOLLIES Dear Puddinhead: I was to the Follies last night, and gee! it was swell. Some of the clubs put on stunts and they wuz all dandy. The jazz orkestra was keen, and it made my toes twitch so I couldn’t hardly sit still. The next thing on the program had a big long name—“Terpichorean.” The dictionary says Terpisichore was the muse of dancing. Three little girls from the Linnaeus Club danced and they looked awful nice. “College Days' ! That’s what Ink-pah gave. My goodness! if that’s how much fun they have in college, 1 think I’ll go there when I finish high school. When I finish! The Hi-Y’s got some wonderful akro-bats at South, t x . They just tumbled all over. 1 got real nervus watching them. One of the boys swung shiny dumb-bells. I don’t see how he kept them from hitting each other. “Reminiscences” just means remembrances. All kinds of old-fashioned ladies! (Really just senior girls of the Torch bearers Club.) It was fun to sec the dresses, but how could those dames ever play a game of tennis in such skirts? The Meridian Club put on a Grand Opera. “I Smell Smoke.” I didn’t see so much “grand” about it. but I thought it was mighty funny. 1 huffed so hard that my stummick hurt. The Edda Club had a dandy dance stunt, “a folk dance, the program said. The boys had on awful tight, small pants, and the girls had great big wide skirts all different colors. Some more dancers was from the Blue Triangle and Silver Triangle Clubs. 'They looked like fairies. 'The girls was all dressed in blue, and they played with silver colored bloons. I suppose that was becuz they was the Blue and Silver Triangle girls. 'Talk about “Mats’ ! The G. A. A. sluire told us a good story about them. Always teasin’ the ladies about their hats. 1 think it’s a mean trick. “Black Birds!” When I saw that on the program I wondered how anybody could make birds behave. But I got the surprise of my life when I saw a bunch of black men from the I). D. I). Club instead of black birds. They made wise cracks and sang funny songs. Susie thinks you don’t haf to know-much to be in a club, becuz all they do is sing and dance and tell jokes, but Ma says pepel haf to be smart and do it good if folks pay to see them. I think my Ma knows better than Susie. I had given up hopes of ever knowing nothing, ’cuz I can’t seem to learn much from my teachers, but I’ll Ik good and when I am a senvur, I can join some clubs and then maybe I’ll learn the stuff the teachers can’t learn me.

Page One Hundred Sixteen Page Onr Hun,irrJ Srrenlrrn Memory’s Ghost Each hall was a pool of darkness With shadows on the floor; And each little ghost came stealing— stealing L'p to South High’s door. A creak on the first floor landing, A creak on the second floor stair And the students of '27 Were gathered shivering there. Dick Carlstrom called them to order, These ghosts of old South High, Each who had left his loving mark As the four years had passed by. There was Raymond Faber, polite, suave. And the good old “Horsemen Four”: Virgil and Hi and Fletch and Ralph (lathered near the door. There was Jane Robertson, sweet as a rose That blooms in fragrant June, And a happy-go-lucky, frolicking girl By the name of Reha Coons. Talented, witty, brilliant Jo? Frank, And friendly Ella Arnell, Sweet, pretty Alta Quello, And romantic Harlan Bynell, Enthusiastic Mildred Berntsen, A very good friend to all, Corky, Dots, Toots, Alt, and Art. Famous in basketball. Busy, hard-working Mildred (iruber, Frances I mien’s smile, Diminutive, charming Dorothy Allan— Are making life worth while. The advisers sat in the corner, M iss Wheeler, Miss Fortier, Miss Watt— They gazed with joy at the people Whom they had lovingly taught. The musicians tuned their violins. Helen Langert, Art Stcdt, Joe Jung, “Dance!” came the voice of Dick Carlstrom. “Dance, for the night is young! They danced 'til the moon was waning, I il the stars bid the sky good night; They danced ’til the hall was flooded With the gray of morning light. And just as the sun came peeping From his bed in the blue, calm sky, They said: “And we’ll dare to do. Alma Mater true, As should all good sons of old South High!” —Grace Knoblauch. Modern Ballad (Apologies to the Author of “Sir Patrick Spens.”) There was a man of Hopkins town Was fond of red. red, wine. “Oh, where will I get a good bootlegger, To get me hootch this time? l P and spoke an elderly clerk. Sat at the man’s right hand, “Old Pat Riley’s the best bootlegger There ever was in the land.” The man wrote a long letter And signed it with his typewriter, And said he wanted true champagne And, if you please, nothing lighter. “Ah, what dy’a mean to do? What’s there in this for me? Right now the ‘cops’ are plentiful And they’ve all got their eyes on me. The man said he would pay him well To bring him back the Scotch, And Pat Riley did his very best, To escape the clutch of the “cops.” Oh, long, long may the ladies sit With their rings upon their hands, Before they sec old Pat and then Longer, to sec the other man. Now over, now over at Stillwater, It’s full forty miles away, And that’s the place where old Pat Riley And the other man stay all day. —Stella Haugen.

They sat under the tree and talked Long, and after a while the moon Hove into sight. Soon John began to Klammer his DeVoction. The night was no longer Jung, and that was Risan for them to lie on their way. The next day in school the teachers were Stcarn-s, but the principal was Sterner. John was called to his office. He stood in the Doran listened to the principal sav in a Groff voice, “Marcy. what Marx! Hoy! They're enough to turn my Brown hair Gray.

'rime: Fourth period. Act I Chairman : The question for debate is: “Resolved, that the Norsemen discovered America. Edmund Spivalc will open the argument for the offensive. Ed. Spivak: The Norsemen discovered America because Minnesota is full •if them, Wisconsin is full of them, and so are most of the other states. The Norsemen discovered America because M iss Michelet said so, and if I asked Mr. Jorgens I am sure he would say so. There are just four nationalities in the United States of America. The Negroes. the Jews, the Irish, and the Christiansons and it was the Sons that came first. Chairman : Hiram Johnson will open the argument for the negative. Hi. J.: You have given us many words hut few facts. The Norsemen could not have discovered America because they were still under Sweden. 'Ehe Jews lay no claim to discovering America. They say, “We don’t care who discovered it, for we Jews own it. Now we find traces that the Indians were here before the Norsemen. We find Gallic writings showing that the French and Irish were here very early, but what traces did the Norsemen leave to show that they were here? Chairman: Edmund will close the argument for the offensive. Ed.: 1 shall answer that question. Yes. we have found traces of the Norsemen. Herring bones have been dug up in every state. Hi. J.: Those bones must have belonged tii the Fish Venders and you have never met a Norse peddler so that is no proof. Chairman: We will have a stand- ing vote. All in favor of the offensive, stand. All in favor of the negative. stand. The vote is a tie. (Bell rings— the first.) Question is open to the class. Virgil: They didn’t give the Irishman a fair chance. All the histories say that Columbus discovered America. Ralph Coursolle: “Hi” said that Gallic writings were found. That is proof for the Frenchmen. Columbus was not an Irishman, Virgil.
