In this book, the 1948 Anchor, are pictures of these big events and little events and these people and the classes they attend, the clubs to which they belong, and the activities in which they participate. There are accounts, too, of the progress they and their school are making, for this has been a year of progress at Southport. The school was granted a first-class commission, new clubs were organized, new classes were intro- duced, and plans were made for a new school building. , First picture: Typifying big events at Southport is the senior play, given each fall to raise funds for the Anchor. This year the play was 'fStrictly Formalf, and some of the people who appeared in it are, front, Virginia Hohn and Dolores Nerdingg and, back, lVlarvin Christie, Beverly Baird, Rosemary Arndt, and Bob Bidlack. Second picture: Among the friendly people at Southport who can be seen strolling through the halls between classes are Horton Smith, who is heading for his English class, and Ray Bertram and Tom Swift who are going to shop class. Third picture: One of the biggest events taking place at Southport is the annual Easter Sunrise Service held in Roosevelt Stadium. Miss Blanche Penrod, left, Dean of Girls, was the chairman of the committee for this year's service. C. C. Leedy, right, principal, was also on the committee. Fourth picture: Basketball is as big at Southport as it is in any Indiana high school. Not only'is a Friday night game a big occasion for school pupils but also for the adult fans of the community who fill the gymnasium to capacity at every home game.

SWIFT is the trus- tee of Perry Township, under whose progressive administration Southport High School attained its first class commission as a result of the Indiana University survey. WALTER G. KELLAM, vice- principnl, Booster Club sponsor, and Dean of Boys, has proved a friendly teacher and helpful lender to every pupil of South- port High School. His advice to freshman classes will always assure his popularity. JP MISS BLANCHE PENROD, Dean of Girls, Senior-ority sponsor, and Biology teacher serves Southport girls sympathetically and in a friendly manner. Under her guid- ance the women of tomorrow are formed. C. ELLIS ROBINS, efficient spon- sor of the senior class, has the friendship and gratitude of every senior.

In the school year of IQ47-I948 the progress of Southport High School toward better education shows the true leadership of its executives. Under the township direction of trustee Nelson P. Swift, C. C. Leedy, principal, and the faculty have successfully guided another graduating class through its four years of secondary training. As this school year marks greater strides toward better education, it also marks the true inspiration of Southport High Schoolls student body by its faculty. The senior class gratefully thanks this faculty, those present and absent, for its years of education which will always prove invaluable. FACULTY ADDITIONS . . Two new teachers were added to the faculty at the beginning of the second semester. They are Page 8 Virginia Kelly Betty Stevens B.S. Butler University B.S.

COMMENCEMENT Good-bye, good-bye, dear Southport. I bid thee fond farewell, And all the precious memories That lived from bell to bell. A fond farewell to classrooms, And teachers' harried looks 5 To basketball and football- M ore interesting than hooks! To soldier-'rows of lockers, Garrisoned in the halls, Where many-a sweet flsve minutes Left their imprints on the walls! Where Usteadiesu stood and talked, And seniors dared to scorn The frightened little freshies, Whose thoughts were so forlorn! Good-bye to parties, dances- To operettas, plays- To trackineets and to tozlrneys, And oh, such happy days! To clubs and other soeial life Too nznch to mention here. To that good old Southport High Song, And a rousing Cardinal cheer! Good-bye to all the things I leave- A senior now, I stand In cap and gown-alumnus soon- Dijwlonza in my hand.

Juniors See Many Advances During Their Three Years at Southport This class of juniors has seen three years of progress at Southport. In their freshman year they saw the establishment of the Quill and Scroll chapter, an F.B.L.A. club, and a Latin Club. When they were sophomores they watched juniors added to the Anchor staff for the first time. This year they were the first juniors to be allowed to take journalism. Spanish was offered for the first time, the Speakers' and Woodbutcher's clubs were added to the list. But the greatest step ahead they have beheld was the granting by the State of Indiana of a first-class commission to Southport High School. Next year, these juniors may plan to see more progress-new people, new honors, new clubs, and new classes. ...W 1. Lois Aufderheide V X . ' 5, Q' . . 2.

More clubs are open to them in their second year-YVoodbutcher's, Hi-Y, Latin, G.A.A. and Lettermen's Some sophomore boys even graduate from the reserve to the varsity teams. More sophomore names are found on club activity committees. Peggy Glenn, a sophomore, was one of the highest salesmen of the magazine drive, The Speakers, Club elected Ralph Yount, sophomore, as its president. Two physical characteristics for which the '47-'48 class is known are its tall boys and its twins. Such towering fellows as Dave Bertram, Kenneth Montgomery, Louis Schmaldfeldt, and Jack Armstrong as well as other sophomore ugiantsn give the class a record in height. The twins include the Lipp girls-Joyce and Carol, the Csborns-David and Martha, and the Campbells-Charlie and Charlene. Charles was not able to attend high school this year because he is currently studying in Kentucky to be a jockey. The big, purely sophomore social event of the year is the annual sophomore party. Of course they may always attend the get-togethersn of the clubs to which they belong. Pupils in their sophomore years End several new subjects open to them--Latin, Spanish, physical education, world history, typing, shop, and several others. .ff 2. Betty Bland 1, 3.

Aspiring Freshmen Use Progressifveness an Page 32 Friendliness As They Look Ahead The freshman year is a big year for any high school pupil . . . he begins his high school career. There are new people to meet, new courses to take, new activities to enter, and new steps in school life to begin. Last fall, two hundred forty-seven freshmen entered Southport High School, swelling the school population to seven hundred fifty-two. This year the freshmen have achieved. For the first time a freshman was named to the Perry News staff as photographer. The basketball team won the county championship. The orchestra elected a freshman, Lois Fort, as one of its officers. Freshmen Anita Williams-and Kathryn Dampier are two cheer leaders. While freshmen naturally ind fewer school activities open to them than to upperclassmen, the Speakeris Club was added to the list of organizations . . . Future Homemakers, Future Farmers, and Booster Club . . . as a club freshmen could join. Most school social events with the exception of class parties are open to freshmen. Their big social event of the year is a picnic held in the spring. During this first year of high school, pupils lay the foundation for future high school courses. Pupils planning to take a commercial course begin in their freshman year by taking general business. Those interested in industrial arts take mechanical drawing. Artistically or musically endowed pupils begin studying these courses. Probably the most valuable and universal freshman subject is guidance in which pupils study vocations and their own aptitudes. r. Robert Anderson 2. Harold Anweiler 3. Barbara Bader 4. Dana Bailey 5.

Honor Organizations Set High Ideals Page 44 Progress in Southport High School is symboliged in the school's chapter of the National Honor Society. 'Membership in this organization does not depend upon the virtue of scholarship alone. All qualifications of all pupils are rated on a mathematical scale by the committee of teachers. These statistics were compiled through an efhcient survey of each pupil's record. This record is made by each of the pupil's teachers in his high school Career. Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school journalists, was organized at Southport in 1945. The chapter was named for Eugene C. Pulliam, owner and editor of Tlzel Indianapoli: Star. The fundamental purpose of Quill and Scroll is to advance the standards of high school publications. The Masculine Set Has Its Own Clubs To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character,', is the purpose of the Southport Hi-Y Club. ln order to become a member a boy 1nust be at least a sophomore, maintain average grades, and must have a high moral code. This year there are more than forty boys belonging. Their oHicers are Dale Bough, president, Bob Bidlack, vice-president, Carl Kauffman, secretary, Richard lVIiner, treasurer, Robert Mannixlg, chaplain, and Nlarvin Christie, sergeant-at-arms. Sponsored by Mr. Leichty, the club has been an active organization this year. The boys have sponsored three convocations for the student body, two skating parties, and a Father-Son Banquet. The Letterman Club is an organization of Southport athletes who have earned a letter in one or more sports. All lettermen do not automatically become members of the club, they must participate in an informal initiation. No further qualifications are to be met, but each member must remain a loyal pupil and set good standards in his daily conduct. The lettermen do not have duties of the school specifically assigned them, but they usher at basketball games and sell Booster plaques for cars. Sponsored by Bert G. Haviland, football and wrestling coach, the boys, officers are Dale Karstedt, president, Wilbur Elsner, vice-president, and Benny Harbin, secretary-treasurer. Page 45 Active Girls .loin G. A. A Page 46 D95 The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion is composed of sopho- more, junior, and senior girls who have taken or are tak- ing physical education. Under the leadership of Mrs. Lucille Miller, this organiza- tion sponsors dances in honor of athletes, a talent show, and play nights for the girls. The most important event during the school year is the formal athletic dance in May. At this dance the coaches present awards and letter sweaters to those boys who have earned them. To the most outstanding G.A.A. girl, a trophy with her name en- graved on it is presented and placed in the trophy case.. Awards are also given to those girls who have been active members for three years and have participated in seventy-five per cent of all the clubls activities. In addi- tion to this dance, which is in honor of all the athletes, there is one in February in honor of the basketball play- ers, and still another in the fall in honor of the football players. The new officers of the G.A. A. are Betty Goebel, presi- dent, Della May Hartley, vice-president, Lillian Smith, secretary, and Dorothy Huck, treasurer. The out-going of- ficers are Betty Anderson, president, Margie Tuttle, vice-president, Anne Wade, secretary, and Mary Lou Baker, treasurer. Miss Vir- ginia Kelly as sponsor is serving during lVIrs. Miller's leave of absence. Southport Girls Hafve Their Clubs, Too The Senior-ority is an organization whose purpose is to aid the development of a well-rounded personality in junior and senior girls. Social, informative, and religious meetings are held to introduce the girls to situations they will meet in later life. Activities of the group include the initiation, Thanksgiving and Christmas programs, the decoration of the Christmas tree in the hall the week before vacation, and the Mother and Daughter Tea. The Senior-ority helps girls to round out their school life and prepare for maturity with all types of events. Miss Blanche Penrod, the sponsor, is an excellent example of her doctrines in her duty as Dean of Girls and as sponsor. Officers are Joan O,Brien, president, Rose Jeffries, vice-president, Maxine Haines, secretary, and Betty Watts, treasurer. Top: The junior members of Senior-ority pose with Miss Penrod and officers. Bottom: Senior members get their pictures taken, too. l i I S x Page 47 I l Page 4-8 Homemakers Of The Future Practice Now This club is open to any girl who has had one semester of home economics training.

The officers leading the forty-four members this year were as follows: Oscar Stone, president, Robert Bader, vice-president, Jim Flickinger, secretary, Arthur Rahke, reporter, and Bruce Smith, treasurer. Some of the principal activities of the organization have been a Father and Son Banquet and a summer camping trip to a state park. S. H. S. BOOSTERS WORK HARD . . . The Booster Club is the only organization in Southport High School to which any student may belong. It sponsors one dance each year for the entertainment of the students and fornifr members of the club, usually in celebration of some athletic event. The principal duty of the Booster Club is to encourage the school spirit. Because of this, -the club sponsors pep-sessions given before each important athletic contest. Planning of these pep-sessions and the dance is the duty of the ofhters-Nlarvin Christie, president, Dale Bough, vice-president, Betty Anderson, secretary-treasurer, and the sponsor, Mr. Kellam. At each pep-session a skit, lasting from ten to twenty minutes, which portrays the school spirit is presented by a school club. At the beginning of the school year, ive yell leaders from a corps of try-outs are chosen to lead yells during the season and to encourage school spirit. This year they are Don Hartley, Anita Williams, and the Dampier sisters-Baa hara, Suzanne, and Kathryn. The pictures down the page arc of a dance, the officers, one of the numerous skits, and the yell leaders in practice in the front lobby.

Divided into beginning and advanced classes, the club celebrates the traditional Roman festivals, particularly the Stygian Revels, or Halloween, the Saturnalia, and the Lupercalia. Under the guidance of Mrs. Elsa Majors, Latin teacher, the club meets in regular club periods, after school, or occasionally during class time. Roman customs are carefully studied and preserved. This is shown by the election of Roman oflicials as club ollicers-Consuls, Quaestors, and Idyles. Through the various activities of the Latin Club, students find the study of Latin a more interesting subject. The top picture shows the beginnersg the bottom the advanced. lsage 50 z .J M 1,4 ,M TOP PICTURE: THE STUDENT ORGANIZATION First Row Barbara Sponsel, Kathryn Dzuupier, and Ted Helderinan.

Page 51 peeeh Makers Tune p Progress was made at Southport this year when the Speakers, Club was added to the growing list of school organizations. Under the direction of Mrs. Kathleen Ritchie, public speaking teacher, members present plays and programs, hold theater parties, and practice readings and pantomimes. All freshmen, sopho- mores, juniors and seniors who are interested in public speaking and who attend meetings regularly are in- cluded in the club. Picture above: Meinbers rehearsing the play, The l3ishop's Candlesn are, left to right, Ann Bleistein, Nfarianne Cohee, lVlary Io McCal- lister, Alan Wirikle, and Ralph Yount. Picture below: President Ralph Yount gives the Speakers' Club mem' bers a sample of uhotv talkin' at a bi-weekly meeting. NWeedbutehers Set To Work A new organization at Southport is the Woodbutchers' or Craft Club. To be eligible for membership boys must have had one year of shop or two years of mechanical drawing instruction. The charter members have bi- monthly meetings called 'Kwork nights. At these times the boys work on their projects and have a recrea- tion period. Plans are being made for basketball games and parties. Some of their projects have included end tables, telephone stands, What- nots, shelves, book-ends, book cases, and record holders. The following officers served this past year: Bill Sawyer, president, Ed Frazier, vice-president, Bob Rans- dell, secretary. Picture above: Club has a regular meeting to talk it raver in the shop room. Picture below: Little woodbutch- ers work on some of their projects. Page 52 X, if Librarians and Ojflice Girls Help Facult Each period two girls, who are taking a commercial course or are interested in ofhce work, work in the administration offices. They run errands, ring bells, collect ab- sentee slips, type, and answer the phone, thus freeing the principal, vice principal, and dean of girls from such tedious tasks. In addition to the regular force, there are extra girls who help VValter G. Kellam, vice-principal, at the beginning of every grade period with the recording of grades. Two girls assist lVlrs. Alice Black, librarian, in the library each period and before school. They stamp books and cards, file cards, shelve books and magazines, help pupils choose books, and run errands for Mrs. Black, relieving her for the more important tasks that school librarians have. , Page 53 Y Secretaries and Traffic Boys Also Help Things Run Smoothly Page 54 Each year lldr. Elwood Miller, typing teacher, prepares a list of capahle typists wh'ch is given to the faculty. From this list each teacher selects the girl he or she wishes to serve as his secretary for the school year. i These secretaries are often unsung heroines in the Work they do. Running errands, mimeographing tests, and typing letters are some of their duties. Under the sponsorship of Ray Linson of the industrial arts department, the Traffic Cluh parks all cars attending Southport's major evening events-footliall and basket- hall games, plays, concerts, and operettas. The Traflic Boys are admitted free to these events. The club is divided into three squads which rotate their duties at the events. At the end of their work, the boys receive raincoats in retern for the unsung service they had given the school. Captains of the three squads of seven each are, squail one, Jim Osborne, two, Bob Brunning, and three, Dick Prather. 1 1 1 Journalistic Minds Publish The Perry News The year 1947-1948 marks the 25th birthday of the Perry News, a monthly newspaper published by the two journalism classes. It is a recorder of progress at Southport. A staff chosen from the classes is supervised by Miss Marie Fraser, journal- ism and English teacher. The publication has been granted membership in the Inter- national Quill and Scroll Organization, The National Scho- lastic Press Association. and the Indiana High School Press Association. The paper won third place in the Sigma Delta Chi journalism contest sponsored by Indiana University.

The big night of the year for the instrumental music departments was the spring concert, presented by the or- chestra and band. The band made its final appearance of the year on the commencement program. Picture at right: Mr. Warble fixes a screw that was literally loose. The Orchestra Concerns Itself With Melodies The Southport Orchestra, directed by Ivan Warble of the instrumental music department, has several opportunities to display their talents each year. It is called upon to play at the special religious programs at Christmas and also provides the music for the junior and senior plays. The annual operetta is produced in co-operation with the vocal music department. This year the orchestra and the band gave a joint concert in the spring. The orchestral productions require extra time and practice which are seldom realized by the student body. Each year orchestra oflicers are elected by the members. They are Elinor Moeller, presidentg Elsa Carter, vice presidentg and Lois Fort, secretary-treasurer. lvan Warble explains just how he wants it to his instrumental talents ' T 171 . ,1 .ies , .. ...- Page 59 S0lVIE SCENE BEHIND THE BATON ., . .

Practicing for their duties with the band at ball games are twirlers LaDonna Dailey, Betty Goebel, Margie Tuttle, Phyllis Jensen, and Patty Tuttle. Page 60 Musical Dramatics Are Productive Every year the vocal department produces an operetta which provides funds for the purchasing of records, choir robes, and music. Last year, The Belle of Barcelona, a musical three-act comedy, was produced under the direction of Mrs. Charmion Kaiser. The operetta took place in Spain and was influenced by beautiful Spanish music and rhythmic Spanish dances. The colorful costumes, worn by the dancers and chorus, were appropriate for the stage settings. A few of the main characters were George Huber, Mary Jo McCallister, Nancy Ford, Wanda Storey, Russell Sanderson, Jack White, Mike Sinclair, Edwin Clark, Beverly Cox, Richard Miner, and Stephen Osborn. This year the new director, Mrs. Gyneth Luginbill, and her six vocal music classes, furnished the school with the lively operetta, Pickles, Nancy Ford, Russell Sanderson, Ed Clark, Maxine Haines, and David Walton were a few of the main characters. The Hower chorus watches the fiesta dancers, Maxine Haines, Dorothy Van Winkle, Berdennamae Bernloehr, and Maxine Foster, but principals Richard Miner, Wanda Storey, Nancy Ford, and Mike Sinclair have business of their own.

Senior Actors and Actresses Gi e Their All One of the big events at Southport is the senior play given in the fall to raise funds for the Anchor. This year's play, directed by Mrs. Elsa Nlajors, was Strictly Forrnalfl a gay comedy about a typical group of teenagers and their problems. The big problem of the girls in the play was to obtain dates for a dance. Jane Cutler, Betty Anderson, and Sally, Rosemary Arnclt, had almost succeeded in getting their respective boy friends, George Ahern, Bob Bidlack, and Jim, Allen VVinkle, to ask them, but Sally's man-eating cousin, Mat'cia comes to town from New York and quickly adds George and Jim to her collection of males. Both girls then turn to Elroy, Nlarvin Christie, who is already being pursued by lVIarilyn, Judy Niorgan, and Rose Tilton, lVlary Frances Hummer. It takes Cindy Collins, Dolores Nerding, from Duccyville, Iowa, to solve the problem but she has tussles with mumps, prize winning CllI'SyCl.Il'fl'lCIllLllTlS and family feuds before She'gCtS every girl Zl date.

Junior Thespians Tr On Mask Of Comecl Future Katherine Cornells and Maurice Evanses of the junior class present the class play in the spring to raise money for the Junior-Senior Reception. Last year the play Mrs. Ritchie directed the juniors in was You Canlt Take It With You, a comedy by George Kauffman and Moss Hart which was a successful Broadway play and Hollywood movie. Dale Bough plays the part of Grandpa, who shows a wealthy couple, Bill Stumph and Anne Wade, that there are some things you canlt take with you and that the really happy people are the ones who live for different things. Itls a philosophy the rest of that topsy-turvy household catches. This year the juniors presented The Great Big Door Stepjl a comedy portraying the life of the Cojans of Louisiana. It tells of the attempts of the Crochet family headed by Elsa Carter and Ernest Eaton, to get a house that would do justice to a magniiicent door step they found on the Mississippi.

Practice, guided by Coach Bert G. Haviland, starts before school each year. The fruits of this hard work are shown by the fact that Southport was beaten by only one county rival. Defeats were suffered at the hands of larger city' schools. The varsity lettermen are as follows: Ray Bertram, Kenney Wheeler, George Shafer, Dale Bough, Jack Whitaker, Glen Wilson, Dan Skinner, Harry Arthur,fRussell Sanderson, Bob Mac- Beth, Dick Maffett, Archie Eller, Tom Swift, Richard Baker, Clarence Long, Wendell Jones, Bob Jaus, Dave Bertram, Bill Smith, Bob Wheeler, Bob Manning. The teams captain was junior Bob Wheeler. Glen Wilson wasan all-county guard and Dale Bough received honorable mention. The team record is as follows: Opp S.P.

The boys rallied sufhciently to down lVIanual's frosh by a score of 21-20. The Frosh were Bill Byrum, Carl Brehob, Mitchell Cheatham, Bob Egenaff, Jerry Grummell, Ken Harbin, Glenn Hager, George Holdereth, Huber, John Hurrle, Charles Johnson, Dick Jordan, Gene Kirby, Art Leary, Lee McGathey, John Pittman, Ken Puckett, Charles Rathsman, Charles Rau, Jerry Rhinehart, Jack Sealey, Don Gillum, Don Stovall, Don Johnson, lVIarvin Sweeney, Jack Swift, Don Milenbaugh. Under the guidance of coach Kenneth Wasson, of the industrial arts department, the hard- practicing and seldom appreciated reserve football team built up a record of three victories from Shortridge, 31-7, Ben Davis, 14.-7, and Manual, 27-o, at the end of the season. They were defeated by Cathedral, 7-13, Tech, O-14, and Howe, 6-26. Reserve boys are often being interchanged with the varsity. Those who weren't named on the varsity are as follows: Clarence Long, Dave Bertram, William Smith, Tom Riggs, Jim Fryman, Joe Hurrle, Jack Hall, Art Hagerty, and Bob Baker. Southport Wrestlers All Wwtpped Up In Work Southportls Cards again had a good wrestling record to show for countless hours of hard Work. Coached by Bert Haviland and captained by Harry Ar- thur, the Cards defeated An- derson, Lafayette, and Short- ridge in duel meets, while losing in two meets with Crawfordsville. The Cards finished seventh in the State meet, with five of the twelve boys making' up the winning places. Bob Ransdell grabbed second place in the IO3 pound class to show the way. Other boys placing were Harry Arthur, third, and Dick Maflett, Bill Calaway, and Dale Bough, fourth. Back to bolster next year's team will be Bill Calaway, Dick Carey, Bob Moore, Dick Griesemer, Art Hagerty, Frank Ketihum, Jack Pol- lard, Jerry Mack, James Fry- nian, and .Tim Moore.

Basketball Varsit Downs Old Rifvals In his second year of coaching at Southport, Jewell Young led his basketball squad through another successful season. lnterspersed with several defeats, the record is still a worthy one which shows why the team added such difficult opponents to the defeated lists. The 194.7-1948 varsity began the season as follows: Nlarvin Christie, Ray Bertram, Kenney Wheeler, Bob Wheeler, Bob Jaus, Richard Miner, Bill Stumph, Bob Bidlack, Bob Boltz, Horton Smith, Glen Wilson, and Richie Theil. As the season progressed, the reserve and varsity inter- changed several players. Among those receiving upper-team berths were Jack Armstrong, Dave Bertram, and Louis Sclnnalfeldt. Teams defeated were Elwood, Center Grove, Washington, Lawrence Central, Shortridge, Cathedral, Decatur Central, Warren Central, Franklin Township, North Vernon, and Howe. This does not include the sectionals.

At the end of the season, several players were promoted to the reserve team. Headed by Coach Ken Wasson the reserve team, almost completely composed of sophomores, provided plenty of thrills and excitement in their pre-varsity games. 1 N I lu it , Baseball Lettermen All Ready For '48 Games Coach Rav Linsonls 19.4.7 Southport Baseball Squad won seven games while dropping five. Many strong teams were on the Card's schedule, including Male of Louisville, Kentucky State Cham- pions5 Garfield of Terre Haute, the Wabash Valley Kingpinsg and Ben Davis, lVIarion County leaders. Returning lcttei-men include pitchers Gene Dietz, Dale Karstedt, and Brad Fort, lIllClClLl31'S Dick Theil and Disk Mine1', and catcher Dale Craig. Returning Trackmen Clean Out Spikes The spring of 1947 saw Southport High School thinly-clads lose 6 meets yet muster all their skill and energy to place a surprising third in the county track meet. As :L result of this several of the harriers went on to compete in the sectionals. Lettermen who returned in 1948 are Bob Bidlack, Benny Harbin, Horton Smith, Bob Jaus, and Russell Sanderson, all upperclassmen.

Hail to Thee, Our Southport High . . . Although Southport High School has had an original pep song beginning Hail to Southport High! for many years, it has not had a serious Alma Mater song. This was remedied by seniors Nancy Ford and Dolores Nerding who wrote the original music and words respectively. Written during the second semester, the song was harmonized for choral singing and orchestrated. It is recorded at the United States Patent Office. This Alma Mater song was composed at the suggestion of the journalism department. , ALMA MATER SONG Hail to thee, our Southport High- Alma Mater true. Faithful, ever loyal, we Shall remain to you. Red and white, bind us fast To the days of yore. We will laud thee, Southport Praise thee evermore. High, Hear our vow to ever trust, Ever honor thee, In the days of youth spent here, Through eternity.
