.cr 18 Lsai CLASS POEM OF IUNE CLASS Annie Iarvis, Class Poet Laughters: A laugh is just like sunshine, It brightens every day: It tips the peak of life with light, And drives the clouds away. Knowledge: When unknown problems face us, Let knowledge answer loud, For knowledge is a priceless gift That makes our living proud. Thought: A thought before beginning The morn of every dayg Will help us o'er the rocky parts, Along life's hard pathway. Rememberance: A pause'-as we look back at school, When we sailed away from shore: With tear-dimmed eyes we wonder What the future has in store. Hope: When cherished goals defy us, Let's not be depressed: Without these things to try us, Life would lose its zest. Not what we seem, but what we do, Not what we dream, but what is trueg These are the goals that shine like gems Bright stars in fortune's diadem! BLACK AND GOLD

if - fc-:Scif HISTORY OF IUNE CLASS, 1937 Everette Charles, Historian ln September, l933, South Iunior High School had so many freshmen that the other students fand ourselves most of all. we thoughtj were crowded. As we think of ourselves, as we were four years ago. it seems that everyone of us was an avia- tor. tBoy! you should have seen us fly through the halls after having marched in line for seven long yearslj Since the word aviator seems to have described us, let us say that we were only student pilots at first. We began our study tnot honest to goodness work! flying, but with Mr. M. Shields, as our principal. lust as all have done, other high school students we did not realize what a fine faculty we had and how much we really liked them in spite of the difficult homework which they seldom failed to assign. Our first two years of high school are like a puzzle that can't be solved. We were divided among the twenty home rooms of the school without any rela- tionship whatsoever as freshmen or soph- omores. We did not even know each other's name. We are proud of the fact, however, that fifty members of graduation class served at least one term during his high school career as one or more of the big four oiiicers of his class. It was during this lapse of time that our principal, Mr. Shields, retired in favor of Mr. K, G. Phillips. February, 1936, brought us together as the Iunior Class of South High School. We then selected our sponsor, Miss Edna Higgins, and elected our officers: Lucile Wyatt, presidentz Ed Mendenhall, vice- presidentg Helen Swaim, secretaryg and I. E. Tate, treasurer. Our outstanding social event of this semester was the Iun- Pngr forty-four ior-Senior Banquet, where we featured a genuine mwah-hoo orchestra. We especially enjoyed this because we earned most of the expenses by selling candy at our basketball games. September of 1936 brought us together, we thought, as the Senior Class of South High School. But misfortune laughed at us again. There were so many of us that we could not get into one room. Therefore we divided and select- ed two sponsors: Miss Eleanor Cain and Miss Margaret McLean. Our officers were elected in due time: Roy Bovender, president, Ralph Leonard, vice presidentg Lucile Wyatt, secretary. As our president could not be in both home rooms at one time, we elected two chair- men: E. Tate and Ed Mendenhall of Miss Cain's and Miss McLean's rooms respectively. We liked these fine offic- ers so much that we decided to keep them for both semesters. During that year our social life was by no means neglected. The two most outstanding events were the Masquerade Party and the Iunior-Senior Banquet. We really enjoyed the latter because of what it meant to us. We were greatly pleased at the begin- ning of the second semester because we were permitted to have the library for our home room. As Miss McLean found it necessary to leave, we selected Mrs. Lucia Blackwood to take her place. When that year came to a close, we had proved what we could do. We had shown our stability to Miss Stephenson through M. O. S4 Miss Glasgow made us observers of America each Friday through the American Observer . BLACK AND GOLD
