Of Thee I Sing We have tried to create in this yearbook a faithful account of our performance which began back in 1944 when we, the Class of January, 1948, entered upon the first scene of our drama at South Side. Since Mrs. Simon has done so much to aid us from the first moment we began to act our parts as high school students, it is only fitting that we should dedi- cate our yearbook to her, our Class Adviser. It was Mrs. Simon whose sympathy and under- standing made her experience with us the pangs of fear, doubt, and anxiety, which belong to the inex- perienced actor, It was she who helped us to Overcome the awkwardness of the neophyte, who directed us with firmness and kindness so that we were soon playing our roles well and even having fun. When we bungled our parts because of scholastic difhculties, MRS. ROSE P. SIMON it was Mrs. Simon who scolded, encouraged, and sympathized until the production moved forward once again. The excitement of electing student directors, of having our classmates run for G. O. offices, of re- hearsing the senior show, of attending endless com- mittee meetings and of emerging finally as a pol- ished troupe—all these highlights we shared with Mrs. Simon. Although the parts we played at South Side may soon be forgotten, we shall always remem- ber with pleasure the years spent here, years which our Faculty Adviser helped to make wonderfully pro- ductive, Though we act many new parts, the roles we played at South Side will remain forever in our hearts, And so, in sincere appreciation, we dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Rose Simon, the best Faculty Ad- viser ever!
