■ - N ■- ' ' r i a ( dedicated faculty members strive to impart a bit of their knowledge to young Americans seeking wisdom and truth. The answers are not always there, for many questions have no answers; yet, discussions are carried on and ideas exchanged so that students may learn to explore their own beliefs, to respect the opinions of others, and to develop their own theories. Thus, South Side stimulates the pursuit of knowledge, encourages the development of good character, and fosters the establishment of a good set of values.

the First Goal- EDUCATION Finding that teachers are always willing to offer help, Dave Eaton re- ceives a little mathematical advice from Miss Mabel Fortney. Striving to present the best possible educational oppor- tunities, South has added new facilities — new classrooms, the girls' gym, and the remodeled chemistry laboratory, to name only a few. Accompanying these physical changes have been advances in teaching methods and techniques: South now offers three courses — college preparatory, commercial, and general — so that each student may select subjects to best prepare himself for his chosen future. Furthermore, South lanes classes in English, mathematics, Latin, and physics to encourage each student to work to his capacity. These laned classes include special' courses, which give superior students the opportunity to cover extra material and to delve into subjects more deeply than do other students. Exercising their mental powers, students concentrate as they work on an assignment to be handed in the following day.
