We of the 1955 Tiger Staff dedicate this book to a man who has lived up to the motto, “Be South. He is South High’s most prominent graduate, Judge Luther W. Youngdahl. An ambitious student at South, Judge Youngdahl participated in debates and the Senior Class play; and was an active member of Hi-Y’s predecessor, the Bean Club. Moreover, he relinquished his position as center on the football team for a paper route which helped pay his school expenses. After graduation in 1915, he attended the University of Minnesota and Gustavus Adolphus College. Following his schooling he held the positions of city attorney, municipal judge in Minneapolis, district judge of Hennepin County, and member of the Minnesota Supreme Court. On January 8, 1947, Luther Youngdahl became the twenty-seventh Governor of Minnesota, holding office for three terms. His determination to make Christianity work in government was a driving force behind his administration. Moreover, his slogan, Honesty and humanity in government,” was paramount in all his law enforcement and public welfare programs, which made Minnesota a leader in more than one field. In addition to his long record of service in youth and religious activities, Youngdahl strove to strengthen home and family life. At this time Luther W. Youngdahl holds the highest position of his career, Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. All through his life Judge Youngdahl has upheld South’s ideals and traditions of honesty, integrity, consideration, sincerity, ambition, and respect. His example is an inspiration to the present and future students of South High. 2

TIGER STAFF With a sense of accomplishment and sincere happiness the 1955 Tiger Staff sees in print the fruit of its labors, the 1955 Tiger. Now we can look back and note what we accomplished as we strived to publish a good book. We see that characteristics such as co-operation, dependability, efficiency, and persistency have developed in each of us. Moreover, we have learned practical knowledge such as making artistic layouts, selecting type sets, and judging how well a photograph will reproduce. Spending hours together arguing good naturedly over layouts and working furiously to meet deadlines, we have become an efficient team. Also, we know that each member of the staff has been of service to the school and has gained new friends. In addition, we have learned to compromise and to expand the scope of our thinking so that we can take advantage of other people’s ideas. Thus, each of us has had to use our minds and imagination to the utmost. However, we could not have done this job alone. Mr. Arendt has been a wonderful advisor, helping us out of difficulties and giving us needed encouragement. Larson Studio. Dahl Co., Photomatic, and Harrison Smith Co. are organizations whose patience and helpfulness have made us glad that we were able to work with them. Moreover, the faculty and students of South High have been co-operative and helpful. Thanking all these groups in behalf of the Tiger Staff, we voice our hope that the 1955 Tiger will be a source of enjoyment and an album of memory to all students of South High. Then we can consider our job a success. Diane Bouchard, Carol Erickson, Co-editors. Row I M. Born; S. Bloom; N. Miller; G. Corcoran; J. Nowak. Artwork; Business Manager. A. Stenmark; D. Schwalbe.
