and Sullivan, they have presented such operettas as Robin Hood, Chimes of Nor- mandy, Bohemian Girl, Sweethearts, Lelaufala, Shaneafis, Sunset Trail, and The Golden Trail. Distinguished, too, and much longer, is the list of class plays presented by the graduating classes of South High. Most prominent on this list are plays by such famous dramatists as Shakespeare, lbsen, Shaw, Sheridan, and Maeterlinck. In con- nection with drama, unique also is the play tournament of senior classes held semi- annually. Directed by the students themselves, three or four of the best one-act plays are presented in the auditorium and judges decide on the best production. The Library Hour has also become a distinct feature of the school's activities. The varied programs and the list of distinguished speakers cannot even be hinted here but the popularity of the Library Hour, which is held every other week, is attested by the overflowing attendance at each program. Reserved for the last as one of the outstanding achievements of South are its commencement programs. The message which a class wishes to convey to parents and friends is no longer presented by a few essays prepared by a few of its members but that message is now dramatized for them, with as many as thirty members of the class pooling their talents to make vital and effective that message. The com- mencement programs are no longer for and by the few, but dramatized they become the work of many and are enjoyed by all. So significant is this step taken by South to vitalize commencement programs that during the convention of the Division of Superintendence of the N. E. A. held in Minneapolis last February, South was asked to feature the commencement program along with its Library Hour, play tournaments, and its work in the teaching of English. Such is a brief resume of the growth of South High and of its efforts not only to keep abreast of the changes that are being made in the field of education but also to pioneer some of those significant frontiers that result in improved education.

gens. In the quarter of a century that he has directed its affairs, South has been in the forefront with a great number of its activities. Most of the honors it has won are discussed more fully in the sections on activities and on organizations of this volume but briefiy summarized a few of the distinctions and achievements are the following: The Tiger, the student annual, has won an All-American rating in 1926, 1927, 1928, 1930, 1931, and 1932, the awards being made by the National Scholastic Press Association. The Southerner, the student newspaper, has received from the National Scholastic Press Association All-American ratings consecutively from 1924 to 1933 and from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association it has received the gold medal award, the highest to be given by that organization, annually since 1927. The Ioseph Iorgens chapter of Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Iournalists, the activities of which at South are closely linked with those of the school paper, was the first to sponsor an Authors' Tournament in American high schools. Glints in the Sand, an anthology of 150 pages containing poems, essays, stories, and plays written by South High students, is probably the first of its kind to be published on such a scale by an American high school. Published in 1928, it is now in its second edition. The South High Band, an organization of nearly one hundred instruments, won the state band championship in 1926, 1927, and 1928. Having won the championship three times in succession, it was not permitted to compete again until 1931 when it again won the state championship. In 1933 it won its fifth state contest. It also competed for national honors at Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 19275 at Ioliet, Illinois, in 1928, and at Denver, Colorado, in 1929. The South High orchestra, with a personnel of more than sixty members, won the state championship in 1931. The Glee Clubs of South High point with pride to the list of distinguished operettas they have presented within recent years.
