I MR. LUNDIN, PRINCIPAL MR. LAMMERS, ASST. PRINCIPAL FACULTY IS NUCLEUS OF OUR SCHOOL LIFE Each South High student must admit that the hearts of the members of the student body at South High will always be with those who counseled, guided, taught, and challenged us. The administration, faculty, and classes were the nucleus around which our academic life revolved. The amount of extra time which our instructors and administrators spent at school and outside of school for our benefit cannot be measured in hours alone. We were stimulated to want to learn more about our subjects; to delve deeper into the “whys” and “hows” of principles and ideas. Many of us have been awakened to beliefs and concepts which we never thought existed. At South we were offered a wide range of subjects; but the increasing trend, throughout the United States and also here at South, was to place greater emphasis on the “academic” subjects. The past few years at South have been marked by additional requirements in mathematics, history and science. In addition, accelerated classes in mathematics and physics have l»een inaugurated and a third year class in German begun. The desire to strengthen the educational program in America was evidenced by curriculum changes at South High. American education today is being challenged by those who feel that our system of education is not adequate for producing mature American citizens. It is our responsibility to our faculty, administration, and ourselves to carry on what they have begun and to continue to build with the basic, fundamental truths that they have shown us. Education is ours to use and enrich because our education is one thing that can never be taken away from us.

STUDIES CHANGE This year marked the visit of Mr. Khrushchev to the United States. Our nation was made more aware of the need for co-operation between peoples of the world. We also realized that ours is a complex age. The influence of Russian culture has affected our American way of life and also the curriculum at South. Russian was offered this year for the first time. On one day during the week the class studied Russian history in order to obtain additional background material for the study of the language. The stress of the class was on the oral phase of the language. The Russian class was not the only new class at South. There was also an accelerated physics class which had a stepped-up rate of study. For the second year, there were two accelerated math classes. These classes were very unique in the fact that each student worked at his own speed, and as he completed a course of study, he could then begin another course.
