In Memory Of Mr. Herman A. Larson we, the Senior Class of 1957, dedicate this annual. To him we owe a great deal of thanks for his willingness and readiness to serve as photographer at athletic and social events. It is he who recorded the crowning of the Homecoming king and queen, the winning scores of important games, the friends we made in homerooms and organizations, the grand march at the Senior Prom, and last, the solemn moment when we walked into the auditorium at commencement. Mr. Larson was truly interested in our school, and he was responsible for recording these exciting events. Not only was Mr. Larson very interested in our school; he was active in the Southtown community. He has served as president of the Minnesota Photographers Association; vice-president and director of the Swedish Arts, Literature, and Science Club; and chairman of the Stockholm Club of the Twin Cities. He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Scottish Rite. For the Svenskarnas Dag Festival, he was chairman of the committee to welcome the Swedish Crown Prince w-hen he arrived for the celebration. The Swedish Tri-Centennial Medallion w'as given to him by the Prince. This honor has been conferred on less than ten people in Minnesota. Since 1903, when he started his first photography studio in Minneapolis, he has contributed to the Southtown community through his civic-mindedness. 6

OUR SCHOOL THIS IS YOUR SCHOOL. Here you’ve spent six hours a day—180 days a year. That's just 1,080 hours. Multiply that by the four years you spent at South; you get a total of 4,320 hours. These hours went by quickly leaving memories we ll never forget. Remember the two cent overdue fines and those precious library passes that gave you an escape from a study hall? Once in a while you went to the library strictly for business — to finish the project that was due the day before. Oh, how can you forget that moment each day when your stomach announced the approaching lunch hour. Your mind wandered from your class work to the paper bag mother filled every morning. At last the bell rang, and you found yourself in the lunchroom. What's for lunch today? That's right, peanut butter sandwiches again. Along with sandwiches and three-ccnt cookies you digested all the latest gossip. All too soon the bell rang and you had to return to class. Then too, do you remember what those three bells at 10:10 meant.' Of course, an auditorium today. Who can forget those pep fests where Mr. Nelson brought back memories while you looked optimistically to the future. The library, lunchroom, and auditorium — how can you ever forget them? These places along with the usual classrooms filled those 4,320 hours you spent at South. OIJR LIBRARY OUR LUNCHROOM
