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
