mf- Mincipa Although the tenth period bell has often sounded and the swaying doors have closed with finality on the outpouring students as if to signify em- phatically that school has closed for the day, there is one whose hours of service are not measured by the cold face of a mimeographed time chart. She believes it is her duty to provide a home away from home: to surround us with objects of culture so that we may learn to cherish them if we wish. Many places have been beautified by her appreciative touch. The spun glass curtains of the lunchroom conceal with a certain grace a forbidding row of windows, one no longer has to scream to be heard in the sound- proofed natatorium. While the setting for education is being carefully planned, her constant search for excellent teachers never flags. She be- lieves that once the necessary equipment is provided for each student, there is little in school to hinder his achievement, if he, himself, is a willing apprentice. Her concern does not end by providing the tools for each pupil, for she regards the students in South Shore as her children, and she watches the progress of each of them with unfailing interest. Yet, there is something that is as important to her as scholastic achievement, for she realizes that our fundamental happiness lies in harmonious relations with others. This can only be accomplished by participating in the varied events that rotate about the school like satellites about the sun. To her, this understanding of ourselves in relation to others is as important as booklore. It is her wish that by active co-operation the Student Service League will be a true indi- cator of the student's needs and desires. To her who thoughtfully prepares the upward path for us to follow as we acquire knowledge of books and beauty: to one who gives new hope to the discouraged, and salutes the worthy: to her we give our heartfelt thanks- our principal, mln. .gdagefoll Wayan

ur dfiidfanf pnincilaa l MR. ALBERT KOSLOFF In November, South Shore happily received its new assistant principal, Albert Kosloff. Mr. Kosloff, upon crossing the school's threshold stated, l'm sure I'll enjoy my new position very much. As time has passed, the ties between Mr. Kosloff and the student body have steadily strength- ened until at present when there exists a filial relationship between the pupils and him. At all times since his arrival, he has striven for complete co-operation between the faculty and the students. It is felt that he has achieved this by being true to his principle of guiding with a firm, but not a harsh hand. Although new to his duties, he has performed them excellently, and all who have come in contact with Mr. Kosloff admire him for his industrious, friendly attitude which has come to mean so much to everybody at South Shore. 14
