In all Greek mythology the noblest ideals are those associated with Athena. Merely to express our am- bitions is often a help toward their realization. Wisdom, which includes virtue, is more practical than knowl- edge, and is a goal worth striving for. Athena might well be chosen as the one to whom Junior High boys and girls should give especial honor. 'llll flD6I110l'l8l1l Miss Clara B. Sackett For many years Miss Sackett was a faithful teacher at the Southern. Her chief aim was to build character, and she taught the pupils to embrace those qualities present in herself, such as reliability and co-operation. All that was hers to give she gave. SERVICE KEY AWARD The service key of Phi Delta Kappa, a national educational society, has been awarded the vice-principal of our school, Mr. Walter W. Newcombe. This honor was conferred on Mr. Newcombe for seven years' membership in the fraternity and for advanced professional study in the Graduate School of Education of Boston University. Mr. Newcombe is a member of the Alpha Lambda Chapter at the University. In 1931, a similar honor was conferred upon Mr. Shepherd, master of the Southern. A Word of Sympathy The Southern Bell Staff offer in the name of Faculty and Student body an expression of their deepest sympathy to Miss Campbell and the Misses Murphy in their recent sor- row. The Southern Junior High School wishes to thank parents and friends for their help and co-operation throughout the school year. Raymond E. Shepherd, Principal. 0 .MELA A A A -no A.

2 O O I O O O 0 O O O O 0 O THE SOUTHERN BELL Valedictory of the Class of '35 We, who are graduating today, have reached a certain goal. I do not say it is the ultimate, but rather, an important step toward a later goal. We are, as it were, like a mountain climber or explorer who has won through to a sought-after stage in his journey. And, as he does, we pause for a moment on an eminence to look back over the hills and val- leys, the ups and downs that we have traversed. As we take this view, there come to mind certain impres- sions and benefits that past exper- ience has given us, benefits that we feel are most valuable to take on with us, and for which we are most grate- ful. What has Southern given us, helped us to find, which we will never forget, -though Latin declensions and alge- braic equations may slip our minds? A sense of fair play-by long tradi- tion on the athletic field and in the schoolroom. A tradition to play a clean game, be it football, or the doing of school work, or any work whatsoever. Some ability to think and use our minds as instruments, not as sponges for the mere sopping up of book-stuff. When an unexpected problem has to be met, in school or ou'side, we can 1'eason our way through it better now, I believe, because of Southern's train- mg. And then again, we feel that at Southern we have learned in some degree to see the real values, not to be always misled by seemingly sig- nificant externals. Lastly, we believe we know, as Kip- ling puts it, that the playing of the game is more than the game. In other words that the effort and spirit that one puts into a contest or a task of any kind is very often of much more value than the outcome. These things are treasures beyond price. It is easy to say we are grateful, for we are grateful, but true gratitude lies not in what might be said here and now, but in what, from now on, must be done by every member of the class. Actions speak louder than words , by actions we must show in what measure we are grateful to Southern for what she has given us. I do not wish to give the impres- sion that these treasures are realized only by a graduating class just as it is leaving school. Every single class is receiving them, and as we must ex- press gratitude and show that these benefits have become inherent in us by actions now to take place outside of school, so must the classes still here show by their actions in school that they are conscious of receiving these benefits by helping to keep up tradition founded on these very things. In this it is the little actions that count, it is sportsmanlike conduct in assembly hall ,and class room, not seeing how much can be got away with, it is a cheerful spirit of help- fulness about the school, it is putting oneself out to do another fellow a favor, especially the new boy and the boy who does not fit easily into the usual recognized school categories, and, what counts more than anything else, it is friendly co-operation, 11013 only of boys with principal and teachers, but of everybody with every- body else. In speaking, however, only of what we have received, I have left out half the story. When we say with pride that we have received this from Southern, can we say, too, with Still more pride, that we have paid South- ern in kind? Good explorers and mountain climb- ers, while attacking a difficult enterprise, leave after them, as they go, tools and provisions that will aid the others of the same expedition who are coming up behind. To have done that, figuratively speaking, is our class's deepest hope: To have upheld the traditions of Southern, and perhaps to have helped by our lives here to give to others those benefits that we have received. Classm Will We, the graduating class of '35 of Southern Junior High School, being of sound mind, do hereby declare this document to be our last Will and Testament after all our debts and ex- penses have been paid: We leave to the incoming class the newly covered Hoor in the north wing with the hope that the Latin pupils will not wear a visible path to room 221 or 319l Signed, III-1. We leave to our successors our library and hope that they may ob- tain as much pleasure as we in brows- ing among its books. Signed, III-2. We leave to the future III-3's our Poets' Corner, overfiowing with lit- erature, also, our Winged Horse An- thology. May they both bring en- joyment, culture, and learning to all. Signed, III-3. We leave to the class '36 our great reputation of being the first class to respond to the various school projects. We trust that the pupils of III-4 will carry on for us. Signed III-4. We leave our class motto: Honor Not Honors. May it inspire our suc- cessors to greater efforts for South- ern! Signed, III-5. We leave to our followers our desks carved with marks initial. Signed, III-6. We leave the noise of passing trucks, laboriously plodding up Vinal Avenue. Signed, III-7. We leave behind our empty seats, which we hope will be filled with jolly, yet ambitious pupils. Signed, III-8. We leave, with regret, our un- hatched frogs' eggs, scratchy pens, sh .k.L. library catalogues, sharps and Hats, and figures of speech. Signed, III-9. We leave our precious books, well- worn and thumbed, which go to prove how studious we are! Signed, III-10. We leave our great height! Since last September, when we became Sen- iors, we have felt so much taller than you. Signed, III-11. We leave to the occupants of 106: Mr. McMahon and his bag of tricks: His trick of a little ten by ten, And his famous saying Do it again. His trick of announcing homework galore, And, if you grumble, he'll give you more. Then, if he should get real mean, The boards and desks you'll have to clean. fContinued on Page 321 . J
