is The SCRAPPER SENICR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1931, approximately 150 insignificant freshmen entered the portals of South Side to begin their four years of higher education. It was so vague at first. Bells rang when least expect- de and everyone jumped up and hurried into the halls where all was noise and confusion. Gradually they became azcustomed to the rules and regulations and soon were interested in the different clubs and activities. It was in this year that the R. O. T. C. Unit won the annual government inspection and the Army Day review parade trophy. The weeks and months passed and finally their freshman year was at a close, and these students assumed the more dignified title of sophomores. As sophomores they began to make names for themselves. Ona Simmons was elected one of the cheerleaders for the fotball squad. Already others were becoming identified with athletics. Many of these sophomores were becoming prominent in various clubs. Margaret Frazier won ninth place in the National Meat Poster Contest and was awarded a prize of 310. Geraldine Presley won second place in a Drama Contest held by t.he Howard-Krauss Society. In the spring of this year the South Side fioat won first place in the Cotton Carnival Parade. Time passed, and so did the title sophomores, for now tlhey had finished two years in high school and had entered their third year to become juniors. At this stage of their path these juniors left their seats downstairs and took over the more desirable seats in the balcony. During this year Venus Kourvelas was a Red Cross representative in Washington, D. C., and Margaret Frazier won first place in a Poppy Poster Contest which entitled her to a scholar- ship at the Art Institute of the South. Frances Babin, Dorothy Brown, James Cogswell, Ruth Jolley, C yde Dixon, and Robert Cogs- well were elected to the National Honor Society. Other classmates were awarded letters in athletics and were outstanding as leaders of clubs and organizations. Time traveled fast and so did these juniors, for at last in September, 1937, their long-awaited goal was achieved-they be- came Seniors, with all the dignity and privileges seniors enjoy. They began paying dues and holding class meetings. The following class officers were elected: Robert Porter, president, Clyde- Dixon, boys' vice-presidentg Ona Simmons, girls' vice-presidentg Ruth Jol- ley, corresponding secretaryg Mary Cain, recording secretaryg HBV- erley Burton, chaplain: Venus Kourvelas, girls' treasurerg Wyman Mansfield and Albert Feeble, bcys' treasurers. ' Later more class officers were elected: Ona Simmons, prophe- tessg Boyce Le Duke, testator, and Margaret Ragsdale, historian. The class chose By Our Efforts We Hope To Risei' as their motto. The rose was chosen as the class flower, and red and white as the class colors. - Clyde Dixon was elected captain of the football team and Cur- tis0J0hnsey, co-captain. Among the cheerleaders were Craig Mane-rs, James Galbreath, Helen Walker, and Geraldine Presley, I sc V -I-
