“Ж. Optimist Жын Sido Such Shot был W, the Class о January 1948 resen í 00000000 0 o q Q Q 9 o o o Q 0 © е е As the curtain descends on our lives at South Side, we of the Class of January, 1948 reluctantly take our leave. We enter a trou- bled, confused, uncertain world, but a world that we hope to make better by the eager, earnest spirit of our youth. Aware of the seri- ous responsibilities we must as- sume tomorrow, we would spend today in reminiscence of the scenes and acts we loved so well, for which of us does not at some time cast one longing, lingering look behind? And so now, yes, even now while the stage sets are being taken from behind us, while the prompter reminds us that it is late, that the play is over, let us wistfully turn the pages of THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES. PHYLLIS SMITH, Editor. Barney OoNNE RK

ur rincipal MR. ARTHUR W. BELCHER Principal To the Graduates of January 1948: I like you. Perhaps that isn't any secret. Yet some- how it is not given to boys and girls to have any real idea of the regard and esteem in which they are held by their teachers, of the love and devotion of their parents. MISS MARIE WOLFS Vice-Principal I like you because you have liked South Side and have been happy here, because so many of you real- ized that you were a part of South Side and that you could help make it a better school, We shall alw ays be in debt to those who put together this handsome OPTIMIST, who worked for the G. O., who played in the band or sang in a musical club, who played on the teams or acted in a play, and most of all those who learned their lessons day by day and stayed awake in the classrooms. On the other hand, there are shirkers and drifters who put out as little effort as possible, idly passing the time with their own individual whims or busying themselves for extra pocket money at an unnecessary part-time job. Wise statesmen fear for America if more and more citizens refrain from voting, , stand aside while others work for public affairs, churches, or community undertakings, and sneer at those who lay a few bricks more than the minimum stint for a day's work. I shall be interested in your future. May you always carry with you the same good cheer, wholehearted cooperation, and mutual friendliness that you exem- plified at South Side, as you worked and played to- gether. May cach of you continue his education at college or by part-time courses to the end that each may feel himself a useful part of the community. ARTHUR W. BELCHER
