SKY L SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL CLASS POEM Pauline Yontz, Class Poet Now our duties at South are completed, We must leave every school-mate and friendg We have failed or succeeded, It's too late all our wrong acts to mend. Now that our new life's beginning, We may prove we can do things worthwhile By showing we're worthy of winning, And that all will need is a trial. May we all learn to serve our nation At each task whether great, small or new, And prove we have had education, And act as South High taught us to. May we live up to South's expectations, Keeping love, hope, honor, and trust: Holding always the high admiration Of those who have had faith in us! BLACK AND GOLD

...tr n L.r, HISTORY OF IANUARY CLASS, 1937 Ruth Gatewood, Historian The spring of 1933 marked the be- ginning of our eventful history. It was during our green young freshman year that we formed the foundation for the happy years that were to follow. Since our school was a junior high, we were combined with the sixth and seventh grades during our freshman and sophomore year. We did not elect any class officers: however, Doris Davis served as secretary of the student organ- ization. There was also among us others who were destined to become leaders. As love sick juniors we were organ- ized for the first time. In fact we ac- complished a great deal of which we were proud. When we elected officers, Doris Davis was chosen to be our pres- identg Anne Fort, secretary: and jack Styron, treasurer. Many members of our class held outstanding organization jobs. Among them was G. R. Pulliam, who served as the school's president. Although we had many capable workers, we often found ourselves in need of help and advice of Miss Virginia Allen, our sponsor. We enjoyed many social activities, but the crowning event was when we entertained the first seniors at a pioneer junior-Senior Banquet. In sports we were well represented by both the boys and the girls. Cheering and hard fighting pushed our teams to numerous victories. The only flaw in our happiness was the illness and death of Katherine Burns. Before we realized it, we reached the first half of our senior year. We were given the senior privileges for which we had been longing. Our first task was to choose our class leaders. jack Styron was president, Doris Davis, vice presi- dent, and Anne Fort, secretary. Again members of our class held prominent po- sitions in organization work. G. R. was re-elected as president of the student Page thirty body, and Doris Davis served as vice president. We had many good times with Miss Margaret McLean as our sponsor. However, the main issue was work. When we started on the last mile of our road, there were only twenty-two of us, but we were a very happy group with Miss Daisy Lee Glasgow as our class sponsor. Without her helpful guidance we would never have gotten through the trials of graduation. Indeed, our senior happiness would have been complete but for the loss of one of our number, Virginia Wooters. Under the leadership of G. R. Pulliam as president, Mildred Carroll, vice presi- dent, Helen Willard, secretary, and lack Styron, treasurer: we worked together successfully. Doris Davis was president of the stu- dent body and president of the Inter- Club Council of Girl Reserves. Also, Anne Fort was vice president of the school. Other members continued to hold positions of importance. Our social life was certainly not ne- glected. Mildred Carroll, chairman of the social committee, gave us many good times. We shall never forget the par- ties Miss Glasgow and Miss Hall gave us, but the acme of entertainment was the Banquet which the juniors gave us on the Roof Garden of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Class day and graduation will always stand out in our memory. We shall never forget the splendid talk which Dr. Ralph A. Herring gave. If ever it is necessary for us to wear caps and gowns again, perhaps we shall know how it should be done. As the years roll by, our hearts will turn to praise you, dear South High. We shall always remember the things you have taught us and the things for which you stand. BLACK AND GOLD
