South High School - Tiger Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN)

Page 24 text:

H The IQ I Tig er Q Administration ROGRESS has ever been the foreword of South High School. Under the able leadership of our principal, Ioseph Iorgens, our school has grown from an enrollment of about eight hundred students, with a small faculty, limited courses, and inadequate facilities, to an enrollment of twenty-four or five hundred, with a faculty of ninety-six, with well organized and enriched courses of study, and with constantly increasing equipment in every department. With a keen insight into human character, and with a prophetic vision into the future, Mr. Iorgens has ever held before his teachers and his students the highest ideals, the highest standards, and above all, the utmost confidence in their ability and in their integrity. Under such conditions there could be only one result. These conditions have brought forth true loyalty and the heartiest cooperation, with genu- ine success,-success not only in the remarkable achievements, honors, and records won by our students for the honor and prestige of our school, but also in the personal success of our students in preparing for higher schools, or in preparing for immediate entrance into life's work. This preparation has included not only a satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter of their chosen courses, but also, in the vocational departments, an apt skill in the handling of the tools necessary for those vocations. However, there has also come, in that preparation, the building of worthy characters, the implanting into each one some of those intangible qualities that later mark the man, and that carry him safely through the depths and up into the heights, those qualities that place others before self, and that bring joy, and peace, and happiness into living. At present, South High offers four courses of study: the Academic, the Technical, the Commercial, and the Industrial. The primary aim of the Academic course is to prepare its graduates for college entrance. The Technical course Hts the students of this department to enter the higher technical schools and for colleges of engineering. The Commercial department sends its graduates directly into the commercial world, while the Industrial course fits those students for industry. The enrollment of South High School was 2371 the first semester, this year, dis- tributed as follows: Ianuary seniors, 156, Iune seniors, 297, juniors, 545, sophomores, 736, and freshmen, 637. Of our ninety-six faculty members, the largest group belongs to the English department, inasmuch as four years of English is required of all students in all courses. In the'English department there are twenty teachers. The other departments number as follows: Social Science and History, fourteen, Com- mercial department, twelve, Industrial Arts, Science, and Foreign Languages, each eight, Mathematics, seven, Home Economics, five, Physical Education, four, Music, four, Art and Library, each two, and Vocational Guidance, one. Most of our faculty members were at South last year, or in years preceding. The new members of the faculty this year are confined to I-ive departments: Mrs. Gertrude H. Elliff, Miss Lisbeth S. Iensen, and Miss Suzanne Parker, in the English depart- ment, Miss Gladys Lindberg, Mrs. Stella R. Westrope, and Miss Viola White, in the History and Social Science department, Miss Cynthia Evans in the Art depart- ment, Mr. Alf F. Harbo and Etlar L. Nielsen, in the Science department, and Miss Alpha V. Irgens in the Commercial department. In the office force we have two new members: Miss Marie Hummell, Requisition clerk, and Miss Evelyn Iohnson, General clerk. Page Twfnly
