IANUARY CLASS HISTORY Margaret Cook, Historian In the Spring of 1933 we left the grammar schools which we had been attending and came to South High School, which was at that time South Iunior High School. We felt small a- mong our superiors at first, but after a 1 few weeks among the strangers, who soon became our friends, we began to get accustomed to our surroundings and to take part in the school activities. To help us become acquainted with the school laws, an older person was assign- ed to each newcomer to act as a 'Abig sister or brother This made us feel as though we really were a part of the school. After the six years of marching up and down steps and in the halls single file and not being allowed to speak a word, we felt foot loose and fancy free , and we acted like a pack of wild horses stampeding up and down the halls. By the time we were sophomores we had settled down to honest-to-goodness hard work, and were by this time taking an active part in school activities.

The officers in our Iunior Class were as follows: Pres- ident, Carrie Donnell: Vice president, I. M. Hall: Secretary, Audrey Iames: and Treasurer, Paul Ledbetter. Page one hundred sexenly We enjoyed many social events, but the main social activity was the Iunior- Senior Banquet at the Roof Garden of the Robert E. Lee Hotel, at which we had as our guests the Senior Class. In a few days fit seemedi we were dignified seniors. We elected as the oliicers of our homeroom the following: President, Alma Holden: Vice President, Bennett Noel: Secretary, Margaret Cook: and Treasurer, Paul Ledbetter. We were proud of the fact that we had leaders of the school in our homeroom. Roy Bovender was President of the Stu- dent Body: Carrie Donnell, Superinten- dent of the Personal Relations Depart- ment: Ernest Shore, Superintendent of the Library Council: Ed McMillan, Cap- tain of the football team: and Margaret Cook, Superintendent of the Library Pages. We were well represented in sports, but mainly by the boys: however the girls played an active part by attending the games and cheering with all their will and might on the sidelines. A crowning social event in our Senior year was the Juniors-Senior Big Apple Christmas Dance given to us by the lun- iors at the Country Club. As we reached the last milestone there were thirty one of us. Class Day and Graduation night are two of the things that will stand out in our memory, and even though there are many things to re- member, the most important is our Alma Mater and the things for which it stands. 1'And when honor, fame, and fortune ln our pathways lie. Back our hearts shall turn to praise you, Dear South Senior High. SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL
