You grah your gym suit and sneakers, dash to the 400 gym, start getting dressedwhile talking ahout the whopper of an English major you're just spin- ning out of, when the whistle hlows. You line up, and then follow the l, 2, ? S and the 4, 5, 6'sg in short, the exercisa intended to keep you physically lit. You climh the ropes, turn upside down and inside out on the rings. and occal sionally indulge in a free and easy going swing. You jump the horses, take high knee hcnds on the stall hars, do hand stands and somerfsaults on the mats with the slight possihility that perhaps you can take a few inches off here and there.

BID TIME RETURN . f ei 43 -Richard I I S12 X Well! Well! Surprises to end all surf prises. Yes, here we are in 11th grade. Do you rememhcr the joy in winning first place with our song at Fun Frolic? Do you remember, though, the look of disappointment on our cocksure faces when we didn't come out first in cheers or in the activities? We also had many of our rootin' tootin' girls outside in the sun drenched hleachers, girls who raised their lusty voices for Southern High and helped in their special way to show the good sportsmanship that Southern has always shown in the past. Of course, we've had our ups and downs. Who hasn't7 ln june, we had our gala hahy partyg and that, I know, wasn't one of our downs. Many girls took part in itg and some young ladies, acted their partsAor was it just natural??? Some of the costumes the girls put together were really very original. They actually showed what the well dressed hahy was wearing. Very, very quaint, and perhaps a hit modern! Stunt nite, also, was a happy occasion. All the Gretas, Hedys, and Betty Huttons atc their wheatics and showed off their talents, and presto, Southern High had a wonderful time. You wouldn't have thought we had so many actresses. Stunt nite really was something. Our school project was, as you all re' memher it, the school store which. in case you still don't rememher it, was located in room nine. We surely did a whopping husiness. Considering the class that was i sponsoring it, could you have expected any' thing hut success? joy to meet all joys! Rememher that scrumptous turkey dance. All the chickens grahhed their favorite turkeys, and they certainly had a hey-day in the old gym that day. By the way, how much did we charge for admission? In ten years, I'll he ahle to collect my hond. T'zve11I,i'-mit' li

Credit is due'to the lunehroom aides and heads and to every cooperative student who has endeavored to improve the appearance of the lunehroom in order to ereate a more healthful, cheerful, and a happier atmosphere. Our Vs7ar Bond Booth in the front hall has accomplished much to eontrihute to our war effort. Southerifs war hond drives have all lween overwhelmingly successful, Being personally thanked hy war heroes at our hond rallies, we have gained a sense of pride and inspiration to lwuy more and more war honds, honds of freedom and seeurity. Much of the success we attrihute to the tireless efforts of our Wxir Bond salesfgirls, and the sponsor, Miss Anne Wimgiiii. We thank them from the hottom of our hearts for so generously giving their time to a worthy cause. We shall rememher Southern's little garden as a particularly lovely spot in very drah surroundings. The many hlankets of snow that covered it, the lovely hlossoms spring hrought forth, and the hrilliant colors autumn kept in store for us will linger in our memory in the years to come.
