These four words are the Hkeyn to a treasure chest of memories . . . of laughter, tears, joy, heartaches and heart- breaks. The sophomore, the junior, the senior, each will look back on his stay here with different memories. To those of us beginnlng our high school careers, South Park holds promise. To those of us who are leav- ing, there may already be a nostalgic glow over the past four years . . . crowded with new experiences, new friends, disappointments and accom- plishments. The staff of The 1954 Spindletop has attempted to capture the spirit of Greenieland in this collection of high school memories. We have the spirit which is created day by day by the composite thinking, seeking, living of the 817 students and 42 faculty mem- bers who are South Park School. ffm'-Uf1.awigxwiL'f41'xL115rk12QY'rEffzff :s i:'.tp,fQ wwgpt.,-V Lg-.f..-3 : -i---,-, , , 5, -4' we -Q-...ft fm,1f-.,-,,.- 1, -.,- - -- ,, ,. .,.. ., -..,- , , ,,,.. .L sr. .-Q,,,,, -LM f-'L f'-W--'-film-L -M'--A - V f ' ' ww1-,a:1.f.-.u'11 b. f.

NEW THINGS HAPPEN Registration proves to many to be the hardest of these activities, for many students cannot choose all the courses they wish to choose. Of course, before school in the mornings there is ample time to catch up on the latest yarns and fads. One of the most successful money-making projects proved to be the magazine sale, which was sponsored by the Junior Class. .,,,..- o-f '.

One phase of its work this year was raising and collecting money for a foreign exchange student. who will attend school at South Park for the school year 1954-55. Early April found the Council sponsoring a benefit barbecue in Greenie Stadium for this project. ln May the group sold tickets to Arrow ln The Dust, which was presented at the Jefferson Theatre. These two activities netted over 8300. A penny collection was l .g 5 started and will finance the expenses of the exchange student. During the year the Council sponsors the Homecoming social. Twirp Week. and the election of basketball queen and baseball sweetheart. New activities added by the Council this year were a coffee for the new teachers. Frontier Dayf' and the taking of school buses to football games.

THAT PENNY GOES A LONG WAY - Members of the Good Sportsmanship League, .ludy Frost, Lamar Sellers, and Marjorie Gib son pause to deposit a few pennies in the col lection jar, tbottoml. The homeroom representatives take notes of all happenings in the Student Council meetings and report once a week to their homerooms. Each student is represented in this fashion. To serve the class as a whole, the represen tatives-at-large are elected to the Council. They react to problems pertaining to the in- dividual classes. ln September South Park played host to forty- two students from the schools in district 6-AAA at the first Good Sportsmanship League meeting. Another phase of the Student Council work is the activity cards issued each fall. The cards are used for admittance to the school socials. in order to vote in the Student Council elections, and to sit in the student section at football games. . 1' 'NX x X e if X if ,,',,, -...Q 'Q C C N nas IZ 1 BAND MARCI-IES IN SIX PARADES Among the local parades in which the South Park Creenie Band participated were the Lamar Day parade.
