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.

Always we will endeavor to live up to that ideal. —Kenneth Johnson, January, 1928. WK, as Juniors, have spent three happy years at South.

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

R E PR ESENTATIV E GIRLS Stained glass windows make the light Like songs of beauty from the sun,— Life could shine through us like that, ) ou and me and everyone. —Rebecca McCan x. 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.
