New worlds lie within a ' n s reach. Through the mist that shrouds our future we can see visions of great achievement and of great rewards. Beckoning across the threshold of time, the future offers much to those who dare to go beyond the world we know. Educa- tion, opening 'doors to deeper understanding and greater knowledge, will provide the means to con- quer these new frontiers. The educated, well- rounded personality can adapt itself more readily to the ever-changing environment of today. Trojans are being trained to cross those frontiers to bring back the rich rewards that lie beyond. At South Houston High School doors will begin to open slowly but surely as each student takes a personal interest in classes and activities. Let the gentle push of in- itiative, abilities, and curiosity do its work in open- ing these doors that will lead all Trojans to unknown lands, and over uncharted areas.

This school board has con- siderable independence in em- ploying and paying teachers and in providing buildings. It may also develop courses of study within the framework of state law. Each school board member is elected by the voters in the school district and serves Without pay. Much time and planning is neces- sary for the Pasadena Inde- pendent School system to con- tinue to progress and meet the demands of the future in fulfilling the need for quali- fied teachers and adequate classrooms. ROBERT W. COFFMAN Deputy Superintendent and Business Manager Close cooperation between school lead- ers, the superintendent, and the school board is necessary to efficiently tend the needs of the school district. Mr. Carroll Teague, principal of South Houston High- School, and Mr. Tilman White, principal of Pasadena High School, attend the school board meetings regularly.

He enjoys work- ing, however, and says that the school is his upper- most interest, next to his home and family. lf you're not going to do your best at whatever you at- tempt, then donit do it! is his philosophy. Working closely with the faculty, Mr. Teague encourages each teacher to do his best in his particular field. Of special interest this year has been the experiment in team teaching. After graduating from Jefferson Davis High School in Houston, he attended Sam Houston State College and did post graduate work at ASM College. He received his Masteris degree in science from the Uni- versity of Houston. Frank Fisher, the assistant principal, is in charge of building maintenance, grounds, programs, gradua- tion, and Hwhat Mr. Teague doesn't have time to do!

English Department Strives for Effective Communication South Houston's English department works closely to- gether sharing ideas, pooling resources, and developing a team spirit to teach students the basic fundamentals of the English language, of literature, and of good writing. New rapid reading programs were introduced this year to im- prove students' reading skills and comprehension. Four years of English and also a composition course for seniors are offered. Ina McDaniel attended the University of Houston, where she obtained her BS. degree. Mrs. McDaniel teaches English and sociology and is Cosspon- sor of the sophomore class.

Perhaps Mrs. Ellison is reading the book Pat Horacek is reporting on- she is really paying attention. .1 . ,, First period senior composition class are intently watching one of Sl1akespeare's plays on the screen. Probable thoughts are, What in the world will we have to write about this! Shakespearean plays and book re- ports are important parts in English curriculum. Seniors had the oppor- tunity to attend the Alley Theater and see a stage production of Shakespearels uHamlet.H Sophomores were shown the film of 'cjulius Caesari' after they had studied the play in class. Most Classes are required to read a certain number of hooks and plays during a semester.

Zl History Department Experiments m,,,a+fv For the week of January 8-16, the history department of South Houston used team teaching to present a unit over the Berlin Crisis. The unit was divided into five topics, with lVlr. Kne- hel lecturing first on the problems of occupation of Germany. Mrs. Feazle then discussed the German Federa- tiong Mr. Baker covered economic conditionsg lVlr. Grammer, religion, education and Cultureg and Mr. Satter- white concluded the lectures with the Berlin situation today. Mr. Knehel and Mr. Satterwhite prepare layouts for photographic copies to illustrate the lectures by use of the overhead pro- Jector. Mr. Baker and Mr. Knebel process the negatives for the photographic copies. 22 1n Team Teaehin Much preparation went into re- search and visual aids to give the stu- dents an all-round understanding of the present situation. After the week of lectures in the auditorium, each teacher took his class hack to the in- dividual rooms for a day of questions and discussion. Then everyone was given a test made out by the teachers who did not lecture. Students were asked to write an opinion and to give criticism. In the opinion of most of . the students and the teachers, the jim X program was a success. ,S l l l l l No time for chatter as Mr. Baker lecturesg just listen and take notes. I didn't know we had this many students! gasps Mrs. Singley as she is confronted with piles of test papers to grade. At left Mr. Satterwhite hangs the completed film up to dry.

Become Apt Linguists Every person learns to speak a native language. He may, at the same time, learn to speak a second language. This op- portunity is given to South Houston stu- dents by the four foreign language courses offered. These are Spanish, French, Latin, and German. By studying a foreign lan- guage, a student develops a closeness to the foreign people and, thus, understands them and their country better. Lothar Diess and Christelle Byrne display costumes, a pipe, and a minia- ture band obtained in Germany. Lothar is a native of Germany, and Christelle visited there during a European tour last summer. Latin is no course to be taken lightly, as is shown by the intent concentration on a Latin story by Elliott Wheeler, Jeff Grimes, and Carolyn Chamblin. Herman L.

By actual participation they learn how to handle tools and follow plans. .lesse D. McKinney, woodshop teacher, received his BS. degree from the University of Houston. Along with taking care of the textbooks, the auditorium, and visual aid equipment, he is head of Junior Achievement at South Houston. David Garner, Ronnie Decker, Harry Porter, and Tony DeLeon put the finishing touches on a wood- shop product. Vocational kill me M1 4 '6Looks too good to eat! exclaim third period home economics girls. Making the home a happy and comfortable place to live is an art and science. Success in homemaking requires broad knowledge and skill in managing and doing things.

Just 8,003 more shingles to go! ex- claims Dennis Pet- tis as she puts on the final touches on her term project in mechanical drawing. Variety of Trades Although agriculture is the old- est and most important of human occupations, the use of scientific knowledge and training in the pursuit of agriculture is a rela- tively recent developmentf At South Houston the students get a working knowledge of farm life and farm enterprises by entering livestock shows and participating in judging contests for plants, livestock, and meat. Ralph Sheram and Gene Sollock relax after a hard day's work. Ralph Sheram, teacher of voca- tional agriculture and co-sponsor of FFA, received his BS. degree from Sam Houston State College. Gene Sollock acquired his BS. and M.Ed. from Sam Houston State College. Along with teach- ing vocational agriculture, he is co-sponsor of FFA. ':P0rkchop Holcombe shows off his lamb chops. What Would You Like to Know? Librarian Margaret Rose Lodge received her B.A. and l3.S. from Rice University and North Texas State College respectively. Besides her many duties as librarian she also sponsors the Library Club and the National Honor So- ciety. Like a giant brain that remembers all that scientists, historians, poets, and philosophers have thought and learned, the library makes this knowl- edge available to each student of South Houston High School. This year 600 new books have been added. At present the library subscribes to five newspapers, seventy-five periodicals, has seven different encyclo- pedias, and has over 6,600 books, or ten books per student. For the benefit of the student body the library is open each Tuesday and Thurs- day afternoon for afternoon study. Muriel McCarley, who is new here this year, assists both in the library and the attendance office. Bill Marsh and Nancy Winkler sign into the library to check out books for reports.

Even the Healthiest tudents Sometimes Need First-Aid Teaching students and their families about proper diet, personal cleanliness, and other ways of preventing illness is the job of the school nurse. She also takes part in many community projects, such as polio-vaccination and chest X-ray campaigns. The clinic is a place to aid students in cases of sudden illness and to administer first aid.

How hard it was for some students, after taking it easy all sum- mer, to get hack into the routine of classes and homework, but how good it was to see everyone again! Thir- teen hundred Trojans started the school year of 1961-1962. What's this? Late to class already? lt seems as if Pat Cer rone and Wayne Baily just can't get back on schedule. One of the exciting events of the first few weeks of school was the arrival of the fiberglass Trojan, given hy the senior class of 1961. Dewitt Lang and Richard Pearson find that the first few days are always confusing as they gather up extra desks from over- crowded classes. 57 Mr. Teague welcomes Trojan Exes hack for the homecoming game with Texas City. Football Is An old tradition-enthusiastic cheerleaders lead students in yells at the Baytown pep rally. A new tradition? Senior girls showed quite a hit of school spirit before the Pasadena football game when about twenty of them rode bicycles decorated with red and white streamers to school and then home again. Center of Activity in Fall Everyone loves a football game. ln the fall pep rallies, homecoming, ribbon sales, the marching hand, and the cheerleaders all hecome the center of activities. Throughout the 1961 season Trojan spirit was high with the f'Big Red winning four games and losing six. ,lust what do they serve to drink at football Volunteers from the Trojan band added much pep and enthusiasm to morning rallies.

Libby Karns and Judy Bell take time between classes to read some of the clever posters that cove-1'ed the hulls. How did this candidate get into the race? Seniors Build Seniors entered Trojan halls as excited up- perclassmen prepared to start their final year in high school. Senior rings soon arrived and were Worn With a sincere feeling of pride. So quickly did the year pass that almost he- iore anyone realized it the Christmas formal, senior play, and senior prom were only wilted corsages and cherished memories.

Headline Year 'fl just canit wait until lim a seniorlw is probably the most frequent phrase in a student's vocabulary. For juniors, not only at South Houston, but also around the nation, the doors to the Big Event are about to be opened. Being the biggest Wheel in the school has both advantages and disadvantages. One must live up to the expectations of the younger students and assist where help is needed. Also comes a whole Pandorais box of new and unique preclicaments and situations. How those trials and emergencies are met and conquered will determine the future of the new upperclassmen.

Young men and women gain new experiences in sports and learn important material taught in health classes. - South Houston is no exception.
