He is interested in the welfare of the students and their contributions to our world. Mr. George has proved his interest in the youth of our community by his untiring efforts in our behalf. Although his contact with students is more remote than that of teacher or principal, his influence is strong and beneficial. There is no student in our entire school community who has not felt the stabil- izing influence of Mr. Kell- amis hand in our affairs. He is a fine example to be admired by all students who are about to involve them- selves in the toils of our world. Qur world is further en- hanced by the presence of a kind and gracious advisor of girls. Miss Penrod, with her unselfish service, has added much to the life of the community. Seniors especially have an appreciation for the person- ality of their sponsor, Mr. Robins. Younger students who sit in his classes look forward to the time When they too will be under his direct guidance. Mr. Leedy Mr. George Mr. Kellam Miss Penrod Mr. Robins M .

Cur World Today 59? 1 . i I , bf QUUIIW Kimi Q V! 4 S x i Q 1 db b YT '11, ,lf X X Xggix n? gf-1:55 lm Exploring By what virtue may we, who are or have been students, refer to ourselves as explorers? To be sure, we do not ride the waves of boundless and uncharted seas, nor do we hear in our ears the weird pulsations of native drums in some strange continent. Instead we explore the uncharted mys- teries of the radio wave, in our ears are the din and bustle of commerce and the factory. Ours must be explorations of a different kind and must correspond to the conditions around us. In our explorations as students, we are probing among the myriad opportunities of our modern world, attempting to find that niche which we may best fill in the world's work. Our present explorations are usually referred to collectively, under the heading, Education.. Education is the best foundation for successf, I shall study and prepare, and then some day my chance will c01ne. -Abraham Lincoln. 'Wife are living in a machine age. This state- ment is an extremely common one today. Training in the industrial arts is vital to the sustenance of this type of life. Mechanics are needed, elec- tricians, metal workers, men and women who are adept in using assembly line tools of many kinds. They are trained for such jobs through shop courses. Not to be forgotten are the engineers and designers who must crystalize those thoughts which have their source in the ingenuity and in- ventiveness of the American. These men lay the groundwork for industry and help us to visualize new things to come. Such persons must have a background of mechanical drawing. Men of in- dustry are needed if the United States is to remain a force in our world of today and tomorrow. The poet has immortalized the plowman, and it is well, for he is a vanishing American. Let us not be mistaken. As long as men shall walk the earth, some shall till the soil that all may be nourished by the products thereof. The plowman of yesteryear is, however, being succeeded by the mechanized and scientific farmer, who must be prepared by courses in current agriculture that will enable him to maintain progress in order that he may continue to supply our needs. Many of us are becoming alarmed at the fact that the world's greatest institution is crumbling rather swiftly and seems doomed to complete destruction unless sounder foundations are built. VVere such intelligence displayed and headlined in bold type by leading newspapers, many indi- viduals would immediately inspect the security of their finances, but they would have lost the point. The home is the world's greatest institution: experience has shown that it is the best means of fulfilling the needs and processes of human exist- ence. Courses in home economics and problems of the home are well in keeping with the times. NVhile you study you should study as hard as you play football in a match game. It is well to obey the homely old adage Work while you work: play while you playf'-Theodore Roosevelt. Our world today is pervaded by certain definite forces. Rushing in on us from every side is the business world of commerce. The merchant has made for himself a place which he has held since the infancy of civilization. Primarily, commerce is concerned with the barter of goods and services and with the occupations incidental to these. Busi- ness, like certain other vocational fields, has its code of ethicsg too often in the past have the principles been violated through lack of emphasis. The modern office force is a complex grouping of efficient individuals and machines. These per- sons must be trained in the use of office equip- ment. Speech is also paramount. The stenographer must possess skills in shorthand, penmanship, and spelling. Records must be kept of every trans- action, bookkeepers and file clerks are needed. The riches of the world pass through the hands of commerce. The object of liberal training is not lecwfning, bu- tdisclpline and the enlightenment of the mind. --W00d1'0w Vlfilson. In our world I think we may safely say that there is one science which is not static but remains unchanged in our day as it has for cen- turies. Two plus two will always equal four. How- ever, individuals do change g we must provide ourselves with uniform conceptions of the laws of mathematics. It is surprising how complex problems which appear so simple may seem. A certain king was staying at one of his hunting- lodges in the forest, and in this house there were nine rooms. He slept in the central room ,and arranged that the twenty-four soldiers who form- ed his guard should be so stationed that there should be nine on each side of the lodge, three in each room. The king's stay was longer than he had originally intended, and the soldiers asked if they might meet on different evenings in one another's rooms, for games and conversation. This the king agreed to, but on the condition that there should always be nine on each side of the house. Before retiring to rest on the night that this new arrange- ment was made, the monarch thought he would go around the lodge and count the soldiers on each side, to see that his orders were being obeyed, and to be sure that none of the soldiers had gone down to the village close by, or had allowed any stran- gers to visit them in the lodge. I-Ie looked care- fully round and found that there were just nine on each side of the house, and so he went to rest feeling that none of his men was absent. And yet, all the time, four of them had gone to the village, and were not in the house. I-Iow had the men con- trived with four of their number away to main- tain the full number of nine on each side of the lodge? The next night instead of any soldiers going to the village, four of the villagers who were friends of theirs came to the hunting lodge, and were let in which was against the rules, partly because they brought with them cask of good brown ale. The soldiers spent their time in card playing and merry-making. Vllhen the king looked around, he thought all was right because there were still nine men, and nine men only, on each UI' World side. How was this? 011 the third night, eight visitors came in, and now there were thirty-two men in the house, but as the king still found only nine men on a side, he did not notice the new addi- tions. The soldiers so enjoyed the visits of their friends that on the next night they invited twelve of their friends, and now they found it difncult to know how to arrange the whole of the thirty- six individuals, so that there would be nine, and no more than nine on each side of the house. But at last they did this, and thus deceived the king. On the fifth night, instead of inviting their friends to visit the kingls lodge, eighteen of the soldiers remained behind, and contrived to so arrange themselves that there should be nine men on each side of the house, while the other six soldiers went away to the village. They had a good time and returned safely. How did the men manage to deceive the king on these five nights and keep the same number of men on each side of the lodge, although the number of individuals in the house varied so greatly ? Then there is the one about the farmer who had fifty hurdles and with these he made a sheep fold that would hold exactly one hundred sheep. Later on, as he had a good deal of fine pasture land, he decided to increase the number of his sheep, and so he went to market to buy some more of these animals. Prices were low and although he had intended to buy only about fifty more sheep, he changed his mind and bought one hundred. The result was that, having now doubled the number of sheep that he pos- sessed originally, he would require double the accomodation in his fold. His companion men- tioned the matter. Oh,,' said he, I had forgotten that, but it is easily put right. I must buy two more hurdles and then I shall have suffiicent room. Only two more hurdles to give you double the space in vour fold? You have made a mistake, said the friend. But the farmer was quite sure he was right and hc bought only two hurdles, although his friend said that he would require more. The next day the farmer met his friend. 'KVV ell, I have doubled the accommodation of my sheep fold, and found the two extra hurdles quite suffiicentf, said he, The friend was doubtful, but when he saw the sheepfold he saw that the farmer was right. How did the farmer do this thing? i Getting back to our discussion, let us ever re- member that the elements dealt with in mathe- matics are symbols for substance having size, color, weight, and other qualities and should be accorded recognition as such. In this way we may more easily visualize the place of algebra, geom- etry, and trigonometry in our world. f'The world is so full of a number of things . . 'l and that poet wasn't far from wrong. Man is con- tinually discovering more of them. It has been one of the strong points in the struggle of the genus homoi' for supremacy on earth to make use of these things to advantage. Some authorities tell 1:1 that we are now moving into the age of chemistry, plastics, and many other new and synthetic pro- ducts. Men are ever working to prolong the life span and conquer disease. The various branc'hes of biology are continually being invaded. Man has been referred to as 'spower mad. That is, he is perpetually searching for new and cheaper sources of strength. The physical world is a maze of forces. The study of aeronautics has been added to this so that we may be 'Kreaching for the starsl' in a limitless universe. The interest of a scientist is founded on a sordid feature in human nature usually referred to as curiosity. Inquisitive men have set up the scientific method of thought to give direction to all human endeavor. It has been so ordained that so long as we in- habit our world We must keep mind and body together. Therefore, the body should not be ne- glected. An increasing number of educational authorities are attaching value to courses in physical education. Do vou live to eat, or eat to live? We are continually being told that 'Kthe middle way is the best way g it is doubtful whether or not the individual with a great mind will have the bodily facilities for strength and endurance necessary for sufficient longevity and push', to express the products of his thoughts unless he builds his body in coordination with his mind. It takes a long historical view to understand much of what is happening in Europe today. I asked someone rather well versed in history about certain points the other day, and he explained that they went all the way back to the 12th century in their origin. Not many among us think casually that far back when we discuss the problems of modern c'ountries. And yet these factors will have to be considered in the long runf'- My Dayl' -Eleanor Roosevelt. There seems to be more than a grain of truth in these words. The psychologist must know the case history before he can diagnose. Does it not seem reasonable that we must study the case history of this old world before we can diagnose and treat its problems? But why must I know the case his- tory? I am no doctor of world affairs, what can I do? We are adopting an answer to this question so pertinent to our times. All of us must be Udoctorsw in the sense that we must be able to understand and diagnose these cases If we do not directly treat the case,H we at least influence the parties who do. We must remember that our actions toward other countries, our neighbors in our worldf' are carried out through a represen- tative form of government. We must exercise our voting privilege and must cultivate an intense interest in world affairs if we are to prevent an- other war. The background material afforded by courses in world history and United States history should perhaps be made tantamount to a require- ment for voting and citizenship. Surely our oth- cials need this information. The past is not dead: it will haunt us, for better or for worse, till dooms-day. Q Southport: Orpheus with his lute made trees, And the mountaintops that freeze, Bow themselves when he did sing: To his music, plants and ffowers Ever sprung, as sun and showers There had made a lasting spring. Everything that heard him play, Even the billows of the sea, I-Iung their heads, and then lay by. In sweet music is such art, Killing care and grief of heart Fall asleep, or hearing, dief' -Shakespeare. Our world may never see another Orpheus, but it shall see many of his disciples. We find that we may express ourselves more truly in poetry than prose. Indeed, the greatest things which life can hold are best expressed in verse. To this form we then add the Hne intonations of music, bring- ing more senses into play in order that this form of beauty may be carried into the depths of our consciousness. Music is the poetry of the mu- sician. If no words are expressed, we form in our minds our own interpretation and sequence of impressionsg the musician sets the mood and tempo. Much of our contemporary music is lack- ing in such qualities, it appeals to the basic senses of rhythm and harmony inherent in most us and does not penetrate into the higher plateaus of human thought. Courses in vocal and instrumental music strive to cultivate the Orpheus in every individual so he will be capable of expressing every shade of thought and feeling and appreciat- ing the artistry of others. Primitive man knew little of music but the resonance of a drum or hollow log, which were capable of rhythm only. Music for our world must be that of advanced civilizationg it must be the Angel's Song. However, the musician is not the only human being who can express himself in divine terms. Some of us Find beauty in the material things of God's creation-a smiling face, a sunlit street, a tree, a cloud. There is that impulse to reproduce these scenes so that our brother men may be able to appreciate such scenes of beauty also. Music has inspired the painting of pictures as material art has in like manner inspired music. Through material forms of art we fix the finest things in our culture in what we wish were immutable mediums so that our impressions of art may be presented to coming generations. Do we not seek to perpetuate the memory of our great by the work of sculptors, architects, and painters. Ma- terial art often expresses a mood, attitude, or other characteristics. Photography can never re- place true art for true art has a soul, the soul of the artist. rrEdZflCGfi07Z is one of the sm'esf means of en- Iiglztmzing and giving just ways nf thinking to our rifi:mz.v. --George Mfaslzington. VVe have been speaking about 'four world g just what do we mean by this term. We refer to a world in which you and I, the Frenchmen, the German, the Negro, the Hindu, and all the peoples of the world have a share. To this end experts are attempting to show us that many people before us have aided in the evolution of our present cul- ture. We have common background with a num- ber of the earth's peoples. Courses in the Latin language give us insight into our foundations of law, custom, language, institutions, and political science, thus gaining a place in our world of today long after its golden age has past. Man is an animal that writesf' Thus spoke Homer of old. There is an ancient legend which tells us that when a man first achieved a most notable deed he wished to explain to his tribe what he had done. As soon as he began to speak, however, he was smitten with dumbness, he lacked words, and sat down. Then there arose-according to the story-a masterless man, one who had taken no part in the action of his fellow, who, had no special virtues, but afflicted-that is the phrase-with the magic of the necessary words. He saw, he told, he described the merits of the notable deed in such a fashion, we are assured that the words became alive and walked up and down in the hearts of all his hearers. Thereupon, the tribe seeing that the words were certainly alive, and fearing lest the man with the words would hand down untrue tales about them to their children, they took and killed him. But later they saw that the magic was in the words, not in the ,, . . man. -Kipling. The written and spoken word are potent weapons, but these have other this is to be our world, we must be share with others, to communicate make known our needs, feelings, and man's most uses too. If prepared to with them, many other things. Language is one of a nation's greatest institutionsg it behooves us as citizens to be fa- miliar with its use. If we are to be understood by our fellows, we must follow some uniform system in our speech and written work. Courses in grammar have been initiated for this purpose. In the world of the accepted author and the pol- ished speaker we see the ultimate in English. Suppose our nation were to be destroyed by some great disaster, earthquake, or some such happen- ing. Suppose by chance one of the few surviving examples of our language were some love letter, note, or other carelessly constructed matter. Per- haps a fragment of wall would remain on which future ages might read vile and obscene matter placed there by us. Do we wish to leave such things as examples of our culture? Good use of English appeals not so much to the niceties of society as to simple logic. Courses in public speak- ing concentrate on influencing and moving others through speech. Orators have been on earth a long timeg new methods of communication now carry their words afar. journalism deals with in- formative types of writing. The people of our world want to know what is going on. They know and feel the weight of national and world affairs upon themselves as individuals.

Said one to the other, Now listen, you, twog There's a certain rumor that canft be trueg That man descended from our noble race. The very idea is a disgrace. No monkey ever deserted his wife, Starved her babies and ruined her lifeg And youlve never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk, Or pass them on from one to another, Till they scarcely know who is their mother. And another thing you'll never see, A monk build a fence 'round a cocoanut tree And let the eocoanuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monks to taste. Why, if I put a fence around a tree, Starvation will force you to steal from me. Herefs another thing a monk won't do: Cro out at night and get on a stew, Or use a gun or club or knife, To take some other monkey's life. Yes, man descended, the ornery cussg But, brother, he didnft descend from us. fF. H. Gillespie, Arsenal Tech. High School, in TECH-niques. It would seem that someone were not satisfied with the trend of modern life and rightfully so. This is the concern of sociologists today. Primar- ily, sociology is concerned with the way in which people get along together, live together, their associations. In view of the many wars and ru- mors of wars which have invaded our peac'e it would seem that such studies were invaluable. The divorce, crime, and other factors compose a mnltiude of domestic problems. Courses in social and vocational guidance help to fit us into a place in our World. In the world to come we will have to utilize all of our talents to best advantage to make more jobs for our increasing population. America must remain the land of opportunity H Economics is an increasingly vital subject, as it deals with the basic causes for many of our social problems, domestic and foreign. Business is based on economicsg also monetary matters claim this source. Courses in United States problems and United States government prepare us for citizen- ship. If ours is to be a government of the peoplef, we must know the background and inner workings of it and become acquainted with the many ways in which it touches and influences our lives. The problems of our nation as a whole are many and complex today and it is time we began to consider them. The shortening distances of our world tend to make the earth a neighborhood of peoples. Courses in war geography bring home to us this fact and acquaint us with geographical factors and modes of transportation. This course seems to contain much of the essence of the idea that our world is one worldf, There seems to be a trend away from the old type of commencement speech in which the speak- er stresses that which has gone before and what shall come after, warning and admonishing in regard to what the future may or may not hold. However, if we are to consider the graduating senior to be successfully educated, we take it that the student has now come to the point at which he accepts c'ertain truths as self-evident. These truths are reviewed in the following creed to which all graduates would do well to pledge themselves. I KNOW: That I am here. In a world where nothing is permanent but change, And that in degree I, myself, can change the form of things. And influence a few people g And that Iam influenced by these and other people, And that I am influenced by these and other the work of men who are no longer alive, And that the work I now do will in degree influence people who may live after my life has changed into other formsg That a certain attitude of mind and habit of action on my part will add to the peace, happiness, and well-being of other people, And that a different thought and action on my part will bring pain and discord to others, That if I would secure a reasonable happiness for myself, I must give out good-will to othersg That to better my own condition I must practice mutuality 5 That bodily health is necessary to continued and effective workg That I am ruled largelv by habit, That habit is a form of exerciseg That up to a certain point, exercise means strength or ease in effort, That all life is an expression of spirit, That my spirit influences my body, And my body influences my spiritg That the universe to me is verv beautiful. and everything in it good and beautiful when my body and my spirit are in harmonious moody That my thoughts are hopeful and helpful un- less I am filled with fear, And that to eliminate fear my life must be dedicated to useful work-work in which I forget myself g That fresh air in abundance, and moderate, systematic exercise in the open air are the part of wisdom, That I can not afford. for my own sake to be resentful nor ouick to take offense: That happiness is a great power for good. And that happiness is not possible without moderation and eouanimity: .A nd that the reward which life holds out for work is not idleness nor rest, more immunity from work, but increased capacity, Creator difirzflties, more work. --Elbert' Hufvbard.

After getting off to a bad start by losing the first two games to Franklin and Elwood by small margins, we finally hit our stride by beating Center Grove and VVashington in that order. Upon being unsuccessful with the next four attempts the team finally broke their losing streak by beating Greenwood at the homecoming game. After our Christmas vacation we began the New Year by defeating Howe on their own floor. VVith another victory at the cost of VVarren Central the varsity prepared for the County Tourney but met defeat in their first game with Lawrence Central. The following week we met Ben Davis, the newly crowned county champs, but were set back by a slight margin. After winning from Franklin Twp. we met Tech and were defeated in the last minutes of play by three points. Our next engagement was successful at Martinsville but the following evening we received the only trouncing of the year from the powerful Broad Ripple Rockets. We c'losed the Hnal game of the scheduled season by an unexpected victory over Decatur Central. Although Southportys won and lost record is not impressive, it can easily be said that the students and basketball fans of the community are all proud of Southport High School's 1944 and 145 basketball team.

The wrestling team of 1945 has done very well despite the fact that only two lettermen remained from last year State Champs. Mr. Pitcher reports that Mounts and Johnson were the spark plugs of the sport, but some fine work was done by the new members of the team. In addition to Johnson who is again a State Champion, Barton and Smart took seconds in the State with McCauley a third place winner, and a fourth place went to both Mounts and Glenn.

The Student Organization is so-called because it is an organized group of students representative of the school. Each home room elects a representative to the organization. Under the guidance of Mr. Leedy, the group promotes the interests of the students and the sc'hool. During the year, they sponsored a stamp and bond drive climaxed by a dance for which students purchased war stamps as admittance. A Homecoming Dance and magazine drive were also sponsored. F. F.A. Lloyd Bennett Don Wilkiiis john Smart Vice President Treasurer Reporter John Peal, President Fred Mounts, Secretary Mr, McCormick, Sponsor The Southport F.F.A. chapter is a part of the State and National organization which is known as the Future Farmers of America. It is under the able leadership of Mr. McCormick. Their first and main objective is to enable the boys who are interested in Agriculture to keep abreast of the times and to incorporate new and better methods into their farming. The Southport Hi-Y Club is a member of the state and national high sc'hool Y.M.C.A.

Hi-Y A varied program of projects, speakers, and other services was the club's fare for the year. Southport sent a delegation to the State Older Boys' Conference at Richmond this year and to district conferences. Scrap collee'tion projects were continued, speakers and programs presented to the school included Frank Liddle, State Secretary of the 'KY.U Emphasis was placed on church and Bible appreciation, vocational studies, and discus- sion of current problems. This club is effective in many fields of preparation for our world as evidenced by the fact that it received a plaque awarded for the work of last year. There is the hope that the 1945 season will also be a winner. G. A. A. One of the most popular clubs at Southport is the Girls' Athletic Association. This club is made up of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls who are interested in athletics. The activities ot the club this year consisted of the annual 'KFootball Round-up dance, play nights, and a volley ball tournament. Mrs. Miller is the sponsor of the club.

Senior-ority Senior-ority is an organization whose aims and purposes revolve around the personality development and cultural growth of the high school girl. The club's membership is open to those junior and Senior girls who are interested in these ideals. This year the membership is eighty-five. Throughout the year, Miss Penrod, the sponsor, and the ofhcers arranged meetings and social events that carried out the purposes of the organization. The Initiation Ceremony, the Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, a Mother and Daughter Meeting, a fashion show, and the Senior Recogition Breakfast were among these meetings.

Band One of the most colorful spectacles at our! ballgames is the marching of the band led by the majorettes. They spend a great deal of their time preparing for the annual Indiana State Band and Orchestra contest. The band is one of the vital links 'in helping our school lind its place in the world.

Anchor Stall This year, as in the past, the Anchor Staff has tried to put out the best book possible. Despite the war-time restrictions, we hope that we have succeeded.
