Klrf't'tm Carhtrom C oy i •« GREETINGS FROM CLASS PRESIDENTS OF 1927 WIIKN the time comes for us to leave school life behind us, our thoughts turn in silent review of our four years at South. 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

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. Page Eleven

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.
