Johnson, Johnson, DiSl'1ll'f OT until we seniors said farewell did We appreciate our Alma Mater. As undergraduates we had looked forward to Commencement Day with great longing, but as the day approached, We were loath to say fare- well. This change in feeling was largely due to the fact that finally We appreciated the many lessons we had learned, the friendships we had formed and the experience we had gained. When we left South High We looked back with a sense of appreciation and gratitude. --KENNETH JOHNSON, flllilltlfy 1928. lit S the time of our graduation draws near, We, the Class of June, sur- render the ideals and traditions of Old South to you who remain. YVe hand them down to you after having had them with us for four years and sincerelyhope that you will fulfill them in a manner that Will reflect favor- ably on your Alma lVIater.

Mr. Guest recited many of his favorite poems and spoke about the simple conditions and affairs of life. Dr. Davies, music critic of the Minneapolis Tribune, said in introducing the poet, ul have always wanted to find someone who could really talk to the boys and girls, and 'Eddiei seems to fit-he is a great fellow, and a pretty good chap. Mr. Guest's talk was thor- oughly enjoyed by the students and the truth of his philosophy was recognized. Mr. Guest in concluding said, But therels a little advice l'd like to give before finishingg it's all very well to have high ambitions-but don't forget to pick out, now and then along the way, goals that are within your capacity to attain. Resolved that the United States should not cease intervention to protect investments except on formal declaration of war. This was the proposition argued when the Pittsburgh Univer- sity trio met the University of Minnesota de- baters in our South High Auditorium. The de- baters from the East were coached by lwr. W. Max Parrish, professor of public speaking and coach of debate at Pittsburgh University. For- merly he was a teacher in the English Depart- ment at South and also coach of Debate. His old A friends were happy to have him visit South High. The decision made by the student body was in favor of the Affirmative, which was upheld by the llflinnesotans. Mr. Sydney Benson, alderman of the eleventh ward and a former member of the Univer- sity of Minnesota's debate team, announced the debate and acted as chairman. R. B. Anderson, former Professor at the Uni- versity of VVisconsin and also ambassador to Den- mark, was introduced to the student body by Mr. Jorgens on Tuesday morning, April ll. I want you to know something about the remark- able character we have in our neighboring state, said lVIr. Jorgens in his introduction. Professor Anderson spoke on what Norway has contributed to the spirit of liberty, and then proceeded to re- view historic events in the Land of the Mid- night Sun. His appearance at South was made possible through the arrangements of Miss lVIaren Michelet. As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. . 91 1 . X4
