Others are willing to lay theirs down for the ideal they believe is right-an ideal of freedom, justice, and peace for the whole world, an ideal of equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of race or religion, color or creed, an ideal which would have every nation a good neighbor with every other nation, cooperative in effort, and commanding mutual respect. Great leaders have seen a future for this ideal in the recognition of the fact that we are citizens of ONE WORLD, wherein all men are brothers. The ocean liner, the telephone, the radio, and the airplane have done much to force a realization of world citizenship. Spacious oceans have become mere ribbons, mountains have lost their peaks. Today there is no isolated country on the map of the world. Today the farthest point on the globe is but sixty hours by air from the spot where you are now. The United States of America was built on an ideal of freedom and equal opportunities for all, not for people of a certain race or creed. So must the world be built. In order to secure the ideal that we are fighting for, we must spread the advantages that we have, so that no one nation is excluded. VVorld peace can not be a reality if one country has a monopoly on those desirable conditions which other countries lack. Likewise, we must accept the responsibilities and problems of the whole world and not just those of our own nation. All important is the fact that we must win not only the war, but also the peace which will follow. Experience has proved that enduring peace does not come from charters and declarations. It must come from the will of the people, all the people, who must approach peace without suspicion or fear and who are prepared to accept it whole-heartedly. World peace must be an international undertaking. That is why there must be unity among all the nations. That is why we must be ONE. WORLD. VVe, the Senior Class, have chosen ONE WORLD as the theme of the l945- EDSONIAN because we believe in that ideal. Wfe have read in history how past attempts for world peace have failed. Thus we have gained from the mistakes of others, for we know what to avoid. Isolation is not the ideal for us because we know that no nation can live .tlone in peace. Our future lies in ONE WORLD, with freedom, justice, and peace available for all the nations. Faith in this ideal is strong within our hearts. We are prepared to follow it to the end, to make it an international achievement. It must never be said that our boys, our fellow classmates, have died in vain. ,f xx . , ,, .il I Y V i V l w 'x Clifford F. McNaught Mr. MeNaught, as we look hack, in retrospect, over our four unforgetable years at Southside High School, you stand out in our memory as the one who kindly urged us to study, reprimanded us for skipping school, warned us against the evils of laziness, and praised us for our accom- plishments. We shall always remember your cheery greet- ing, kind reproach, and helpful advice. Your friendship, leadership and inspiration are among our fondest memories. We, the Class of 1945, are grateful to you, our counselor and guide. CONTENTS Faculty . Senior Class Junior Class . Sophomore Class Freshman Class . Features . Literary Activities . .

Our en- -emies realize this, too. That is why the schools of the' conquered countries have been closed, the textbooks destroyed, and thou- sands of teachers condemned to forced labor or even killed. From history, we have learned that as soon as the people of suppressed countries are taught to think, they desire freedom- and event- ually they get itg for the desire for freedom is the result of true education. This does not mean that only the brilliant or wealthy should be educatedg it means that everyone should be given an equal opportunity for as much education as he desires. The world cannot be truly free unless X all the people have trained minds E are realizing more and ,X r l ,, l i l lla wp P1 which seek the truth. -, ,2l,w,,,:Q: . gi gp . he 'li gig Z 1' 6 - .. so 'V 'Q ,v W K 'FF Kg i g?

Our four years over here Have been full of fun and cheer And we,re proud of our own Southside High. We have worked, we have played, In detention we have stayed, But we still love our own Southside High. We will carry on with a smile and a song, To keep the spirit of Southside alive, So come what may we,re mighty proud to say WE'RE THE CLASS OF '45. 10 ,f X xiii Q V WW Q J Z Z y ? 1 ,sb EACE is the ultimate goal in the realization of , our ideal of One World. Everyone, young and old, who has a friend or relative in active service in this war longs for peace with all the strength of heart and mind. However, we cannot at- tain peace until everyone works for it as vigorously and whole- heartedly as he is now striving to win the war. Some of the members of our class are now en- gaged in waging war. Many more will soon be doing likewise. It is for the rest of us and for the generations who follow to dedi- cate ourselves to waging peace. If we all devote our greatest efforts to founding and maintain- ing peace, this earth will be ited as One World fl xc!! mwgifs rv ,ofa 1 Z , A f l ' ,i 1 . , 91631 I M X X X y, ig ,K 2 lil X' f'-9 ' l ,f'f '7 .r I X: gm ,fy . on ff 'sii 5555 1Eli:5,1 iirs 5 v X ' Q cryi it q reir X 1' ' H I , A,y,.twy X04 w X f' , l if krwy I , , ' ' i fri s X 5 I ' X l X if ,4 R Qu NNNVN 4 3 15 Q 'Y D WE-STERVE LT We pause amid the frolic and gaiety of Senior Day to say, Thanks a Million, to you who have done so much toward making our four years at Southside High School so happy and successful.

The endless hours of hard work have brought their recompense - the personal satisfaction of a job well done. The way has not been easy. It has been beset with numerous difficulties and exacting toil, but diligence and perseverance have been the qualities that have brought them through. Here, we honor the members of the Class of 1945 who have gained their just reward. Mary Kathryn Callahan E. Jean Dawley Sylvia L. Denton Beverly J. Dewey Marjorie Ford John P. Harrison Lois R.

JANIE Janie, the Senior play, will always be the high peak in the successful career of the Class of '4-5. This was an exceptionally modern and timely production as it depicts the harum- scarum frivolity of everyday adolescence under the influence of a nearby Army camp. Although the performances may have appeared polished and effortless, one can only half imagine the tireless hours spent in the making. The cast will never forget nightly rehearsals followed by drugstore sundaes, the horror of unlearned lines, the excitement of the Hrst dress rehearsal, the nervousness before appearance and the thrill of opening night. These exper- iences and many others are only a small part of what goes on behind the scenes. Due to thc capable direction of Miss Florence Callahan and the excellent cooperation of the entire cast, Janie was both a dramatic and financial success.

A AAAAA AAAA A JDUNLAP746 V V ' The Prophecy of the Class of '45 It is the year 1965. The sunrise of Peace has flooded the world with Justice and Enlightenment. Universally, men are equals, Democracy is the by-word of the age. Let us go along with a scholarly group which has gathered at Southsidutopia, a living monument of blood-stained feudalism. Our band of pilgrims approaches the center of the region, the castle Southside. We are greeted by the keeper of the gate, Michael Diveris, who places us in the hands of Jean Dawley, Chief Chaperon. Going ahead of us she gives orders to the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Sir William Lindsay. After the evening meal we ask to see the inside of the castle. Descending to' the dungeon, we are introduced to Ray Neal, Captain of the Guard, who tells us that the dungeons are filled to capacity. His sentences are punctuated by blood- curdling screams from the room behind him. Entering, we see Russell Neiley standing over Jack Harrison with a pair of clippers and Perry Klinger sitting on his chest. Going out, we notice a barely decipherable number, 212. Going down a passageway, we see Al Cicconi, serving sentences for splitting an infinitive. We are attracted by the horrible screams from the courtyard. Peering out, we observe the dentist, Tony Italiano, whacking poor Don Jones on the jaw while Bill Lantz, the Castle Jester, looks on. Night falls and our host prepares a sumptuous banquet in our honor. Our spread is delicious, no sign of rationing here. After dinner we hear Charles Rice, eminent statesman, and listen to the music of H'ambone Hamlinas concert en- semble. As dawn is breaking the guests are carried to their rooms by Jack Tilling- hast and Don Piper, two of the more sober-minded of the castle guard. In the morning we go over to the tower where we find Ralph Lyman trying to interest the gulls in his plot to overthrow Southsidutopia. Looking out of the window, we notice a large plank protruding from a wall slot. As our guide starts to explain its purpose, a large procession mounts the stairs to our right. Clio Decker is prodding two comely wenches, Carolyn Bly and Mildred Kerlin, before her. They are forced to walk the plank, having been found guilty of running in the castle halls. As it is getting late we go to dinner. Before dinner,we see an ice-dance and figure skating exhibition by those professional extraordinaires, Shirley Mann and Ann Fredericks, on artificial ice patented by William Pensinger. After the meal we retire to our rooms and plan our return to the outside world. None of us likes the feudal system as it is established in Southsidutopia. Wish- ing to return to the outside world, we leave the next day saying good-bye to our old friends and return to our land where Science with firm hand has fashioned government in the light of the Ideal. 40 f UR world is peopled with human beings of various colors, creeds, customs and religions, but it is our task to live peaceably together. We are all created equal i-n rights and, therefore, should realize that everyone is entitled to his own beliefs. Every group of people has traits of character and cultur- al achievements which are worth sharing with other people. A mutual desire for peace and a willingness to be friendly neigh- bors will increase our under- standing of and our respect for people who do not think, act, or look just as we do. The new Scout slogan, Scouts of the World-Brothers Togetherl' is suggestive of the type of world- wide tolerance which is essential , if we are to live in One lVorld. ' ',,' ?

Plivabevh Veislev, Kathleen Yeomans, Frank The Doings of the Underclassmen The green Freshmen have not turned out to be quite: so green this year. It is their good fortune to have Mom,' Bogart and 'cPop Krouse as advisers. The class showed wisdom when it elected Dave Eichner, President. With the whole class cooperating, the Freshmen presented a highly successful White Christmas Dance. Delighted with their success, they went on to present a dance with their older brothers and sisters, the Juniors. Still, not quite satisfied, the Class of '48 gave one of those ever popular skating parties at Grotto Park. Some of you must have some bruises to remind you of this event. With such a good start, who can tell what their future years will bring? The Ksophisticated Sophomores got off to a grand start as Freshmen. Under the capable guidance of Miss Carrnody and Mr. McWilliams, Bob Groezinger, as President, led his classmates successfully through the ordeal of the Freshmen Dance. Yes, the spirit of St. Patrick must have been present at that 'Shamrock Shuffle. As their second year approached, Miss Carmody, aided by Mr. Lantz, again took over the Class of ,fl-7. Dick Parsons was elected Sophomore President. Our patriotism was certainly aroused after that Call To Arms Hop. In February, the Sophomores joined with the mighty Seniors to give that super Hatchet Hop in lfVashington's honor. The climax of their year came on March 16, Sophomore Day. With heads held high and in their chosen colors of green and white, they occupied the cherished seats in the center section of the auditorium. No one could possibly forget that grand assembly and dance, given by this year's Sophomores. The 'gjolly juniorsl' were Freshmen, once, too. That was way back when Keith Brooks was President. It was a grand year for them, and for those of us who remember Sylvia Davidson as teacher in the Freshmen assembly. Miss Butler and Miss Jenkins helped them to make quite a profit on their Freshman Dance. To show their appreciation to the school, they presented a fifty dollar War Bond to the Student Loan Fund. Those Freshmen boys must have sacrihced a lot to buy that jeep, too. As Sophomores, they elected joe Sandore, President. Miss Barber and Mrs. Adams took them in hand as the year began. Their L'Square Dancel, was a memorable event. In February, the Seniors and the Sophomores held a '4Buddy Dancef, Most of you went, of course, To Kiss the Boys Good-bye. Then on Yearbook Day, the Sophomores honored the Seniors at a Yearbook Dance. As Juniors, they elected Doug Dalrymple, President, but since Uncle Sam had other ideas for Doug, Bill Groezinger took over the oflice. They honored the Dem- ocrats and the Republicans at a Pre-election Dancev by raffling a donkey and an elephant. The Junior skating party gave us an evenings diversion, too. In March, with the Freshmen, they presented an enjoyable and profitable dance. It goes without saying, however, that the Prom was the social event of the year. We, the Seniors, won't forget the fun our younger brothers and sisters have given us through the years. 48 HE future promises a changing world, one in which noiplace is more than sixty hours from any other. This means that more people will not only be traveling to foreign countries, but will be taking jobs in these countries. It will be nothing out of the ordin- ary to take a job in South Amer- ica or China. The extension of travel opportunities by air and the vast expansion of pe-ace-time industrial organizations will great- ly multiply the variety and num- ber of occupations for which Y0l1l'1g people must prepare. Avi- ation, television, and scientific re- search will challenge young and old to train themselves for new occupations as technicians, ad- ministrators, and skilled workers. One World, determined to be peaceful and cooperative, will produce many new and interest- ing occupations. I A H 7 ' . e Q ,I X l A Ky, W J DUN LAP 214, ' EDTUIRES Southside High - One World in Miniature Southside High is a beautiful school-a friendly school. Through the years it has established a very favorable reputation for itself. Parents are eager to send their children to gain knowledge from its capable teachers. We, the students,'are proud to call it ours and are appreciative of the numerous opportunities it provides for us. Southside owes its good name to the many students who have attended it, and those who are still attending, for, it was and still is their spirit of cooperation that has given Southside High a good, solid foundation. Like other institutions of learn- ing, our school tutors students of many foreign heritages. There are Germans, Italians, Greeks, Negroes, and English all working together. In assembly we march to our seats and sit together, we salute the American Flag together, we repeat the Lord,s Prayer together, we laugh and we sing together. We are all working for the same ideal-to gain .the valuable knowledge which will enable us to be better citizens, that we may work and live peacefully together. Within our little world of education, are representatives of practically every foreign nation, working and playing, peacefully with each other. Jean Balch, Hannah Kaufman, Gloria Wombough are of German descent. Laurel Whitney and Mary Proseus are of English heritage. From Wales we have Miss Jones, Phyllis Williams, and Donald Jones. - Glio Decker and Clara VanDyke boast of Dutch blood. Michael Diveris and Irene Greven are of Greek descent. Pat Sullivan and Donald Aderhold are Irish in descent. French blood flows in the veins of Arletta Snyder and Mary Fancher. Helen Haflett is a descendant from the American Indians. Delsa Barton has true Spanish blood. Ruth Panosian is of Armenian heritage. Southside High School is a conglomeration of every foreign race, but there are no prejudices within its walls. We, the students, have displayed a friendly will and a fine spirit of cooperation with each other, regardless of different heritages. We have worked together to promote the interests of each other, and to raise the: standard of our school. We have acheived, in our school, the ideal for which vxie are lighting this war today, for we have become a unified group of many peoples ' v 1 . . J offering the same, equal opportunities to anyone and everyone desiring to make them theirs. Senior S is for sorrow felt in leaving, E tells of the endless gayety, N is the name our hearts keep singing, I is inner peace, tranquility, O is for the oath of our endeavor, R is right, and right we try to be. Put them all together, they spell Senior, A word that brings great pride to me. 50 Southside Celebrities Dick Hamlin - Our own Harry James. Eugene Tuttle - The piano-tickler of S. H. S.

I felt all alone in such a large place, And gloom began to spread down o'er my face g I dragged down the hall keeping eye on each door Till I realized too late I was on the wrong floor. Fear replaced gloom as the seconds sped past, As I feared I'd be late for my very first class! I skipped up the stairs, but was stopped by a frown On the face of a Senior just coming down. I stopped in my tracks - watched his finger extend Down the hall to the stairs at the opposite end. Then he spoke, his gaze fixed in a threatening glare, Use these to go down - go up over there! I finished the day - how, I cannot explain, Remembering my troubles, sorrow, and pain, But Iill never forget it as years pass on by, For, 'twas fun as a Freshman in dear Southside High. 55 Suggestions for Theme Topics The Pleasures of Loafing. - Thomas Backer.

I see the lazy swirl of smoke from factory chimneys, I see the workers toiling, faces streaked with mingled sweat and dust, I see the agonized faces of men, dying on a distant battle-field, I see the tears of mothers and sweethearts as they hear of a loved oneis deathg I see foaming water cascading over great falls, I see the shimmer of fish in tranquil streams, I see a peaceful summer sky, billowy clouds and dazzling sunlight. I see a large formation of bombers in the air - spreading death and destruction, a rising sea of flame behind. A I see a beautiful deer standing in a peaceful forest, I I I I SCC see its dead mate, food for a farmeris family, see a beautiful house, filled with the 'laughter of children, the slums of New York, ragged children fighting in the streets, see a young boy playing baseball, a cripple watching with tear-filled eyes. And what do you hear, Eddie Ostrander? I hear the rollicking laughter of water, rushing over rapids in a mountain stream, I hear the last gasp of a sailor as he sinks beneath the waves to a watery grave, I hear the whistle of a trim yacht, sailing on calm seas, I hear the mournful bellow of a fog horn in the mist. I hear the clang of steel, the drone of motors, the shouts of men, the sounds of a mighty America surging forward to a brilliant future, among the world of men. Edward Ostrander First Prize-1-Class of 1947. The Bells f The flickering lights of the city were slowly extinguished, leaving behind only the stars as silent guardians over the peacefully sleeping city. The night was very dark and had the crisp tang of a tart apple. The rustling trees cast grotesque shadows on the ground, giving emphasis to the dull glow of the moon. The snow had begun to fall, spotting the sky with tiny flakes like dancing specters in the dark. Then with sudden violence the angry wind lashed out with undaunted fury, whipping the snow about like a tornado. Then the fury subsided as quickly as it had started, and the snow fell once again slowly, spreading wide tiny parachutes gliding to the earth and mantling the night with an ethereal radiance. The bridge was located in the center of the city and was an everlasting pride 58 to its loyal inhabitants. All types and kinds of people passed over the bridge. Young and old, rich and poor, lonely and contented. Many of them found rest and renewed hope in the church just the other side of the bridge. It was no special kind of church. Catholic, Protestant, and Jew alike could find refuge within its sheltering walls. Tonight it lifted its delicate spires through the mist of snow as though giving praise to the Almighty. The bridge was dark and, at first glance, looked deserted. But, no, a boy was standing at the railing alone. He had his shoulders hunched and the collar of his shabby coated turned up against the biting wind. He was very young, not more than seventeen, but his face was hard and his mouth was set in a stubborn line. He stood there staring at the wind-whipped maelstrom below him and a slight tremor passed through his body. In its muddy turmoil he could see the stars refiected like splashes of silver on liquid ebony. It looked very deep as it rushed on its never ending way. Very deep. He leaned a little farther over the edge and stared fascinated. This would be an easy way out. No pain, just the blessed sense of deep rest. Down there, there could be no wrong side of the tracks, no condemned nationalities. He could do it. Then let them talk 5 he wouldnit care 3 he wouldn't even hear. As he gripped the rail with the sudden decision of youth, a hand fell on his shoulder and he wheeled around. He faced a small, rather tattered man with a care-worn countenance and a kindly smile. His eyes were a deep, intense blue, almost like the sky, and his look was understanding. Don,t do it, son. He spoke quietly. . Why not? the boy flung at him savagely. What business is it of yours? His hands clasped the railing behind him and his whole being was shaken. It is my business though, son. Perhaps you won't understand now, but you will later on. Life isn't so bad when you look at the beautiful side. Look at the sky. A vast expanse of glory encrusted with sparkling crystals, each one separate and in a different shape. Think it over, son. Give life another chance. The boy turned around and lifted his face to heaven, letting the cool snow caress his cheeks and lift his spirits. When he turned, the little old man was gone. Then the great bell in the church tower rang, and a mad exhilaration filled his heart. He folded his hands and lifted closed eyes to the stars while all around him bells seemed to ring, lifting his humble prayer to an understanding Father. From the church tower the old sexton, with eyes like the sky, watched the boy walk away with new confidence in his step, new faith in his heart. Anne Marie Flynn First Prize - Class of 1948. 59 A Prayer Lord, help me live a gentle life, One free from evil's might. Lend courage through the bitter strife And peace throughout the night. If days are long with endless work, As some are sure to be, Grant patience, Lord, that will not shirk The tasks assigned to me. Though rough the climb up life's high mount And hard the blows that fall, Send strength from thy oe'r-flowing fount That I may bear them all. Then when the end is near at hand, My only prayer shall be, That, though not great or rich or grand, My soul will dwell with thee. Patricia Painton Honorable Mention -- Class of 194-7. Can You Hear Me, American? Can you hear my anguished cry struggling to pierce the clouds of oppression? I am the Greek youth -H dulled, embittered, beaten by war. I cannot tell the world of my hopes, my dreams of liberty, I cannot stand erect to meet what lies before me, I cannot bow before a God I do not know, for I have- been damned to a ruthless submission in which I lead an animal-like existence. Only the brain and soul of me are comparatively free to wander in the land of wonder and doubt. I have heard that somewhere there is a land that offers peace. Although my mind is brimming with perplexity and confusion, I cry to you for help. Can you hear me, American? Can you hear my eager plea striving to rise above the din of battle? I arn the Chinese youth-hardened, saddened, orphaned by war. For endless years I have wearily trudged along the winding roads of my country, seeking and never finding the welcome warmth of security. Victim of needs - knowing hunger never satisfied, thirst never quenchedh I look toward the future with fear and appre- hension. I know of you, American, your skillful warfare, efficient potency, ad- vanced medicines playing minor but important parts in our eventual victory. My ancestors called you a white god, I know of you as an aid, an ally. If you but touch my country with a finger of relief, we can frugally bring about widespread 60 benefit. Your national wealth is our promise of liberation. Although my mein is stoic, I send a silent plea. Can you hear me, American? Can you hear my anxious voice echoing across the ocean of differences which separate us? I am the English youth-frightened, retarded, bent by war. My meager existence has become so habitual that I am appalled by your copiousness. I not only admire, but also envy your ingenuous, egotistic patriotism 5 it is character- istic of the great, altruistic nation which you are. When I pause to compare our respective homelands, I realize the prime need of brotherhood and cooperation between us. This is being accomplished by our executives g nevertheless, there is a lack of complete understanding between the citizens of your country and mine. The future holds a better promise of durable peace if the English speaking peoples of the world meet on grounds of unity. Although my message is shaddwed, it is direct. Can you hear me, American? I.

The pungent smell of pine was everywhere. Suddenly, a hare poked his pink nose out of the brush and sniffed the morning air. N o, there was no danger. He hopped out into the sunlight and stood basking in its warmth. Then, giving a playful twitch to his ears, he went off in search of breakfast. Amid the branches of an oak came the song of a finch welcoming the new day. The weasel crept noiselessly out from behind a fern and darted down one of his narrow trails. Soon an owl Hew through the air and came to rest on the branch of a large pine. He had been hunting all night. It would be good to sleep now. Below him, two pheasants advanced cautiously, their sleek feathers glistening in the sun. Far off in the distance, the rat-tat-tat of a woodpecker echoed and rc- echoed through the trees. The bees droned busily as they gathered nectar. The ferns swayed slightly in the breeze. High above, fluffy clouds sailed past, their whiteness accented by the deep blue of the sky. Suddenly, the shrill cry of blackbirds shattered the stillness. There was a loud whir of wings as they circled higher and higher in the air. Almost without sound the fox slunk through the bushes. The tip of his bushy tail swayed gently to and fro, betraying his agitation. His red eyes burned. Would he ever be able to roam the forest without those black marauders screeching the way they did? How he hated them! They warned his prey for miles around of his presence. Slowly he continued on his way until the green foliage completely enveloped him. The forest was fully awake now. The new day had begun. Patricia Painton Honorable Mention-Class of 1947. 61 America The Beautiful A tiny, talkative stream, gossiping with every boulder and pebble, bustles through the valley until she comes to the swimming hole. Here she pauses in her hurried passage to enjoy the shouts of laughing, carefree boys who swim in her cool waters. She cannot stay long, however, and as she hurries on she passes a tiny steeple- crowned town nested in the wooded hills which are crossed by trails made by Indian feet. A chuckle of silvery, muted laughter is the expression of her emotions when she passes a bridge and sees a young soldier and a starry-eyed girl holding hands, gazing wordless at the pine crested hillsides. i As she journeys on, she passes between fields of pasture land where cattle browse. The banks of the winding channel are shaded by silver-green willows, which furnish a place for bird choirs to peal out their songs. The stream tumbles over irrigation dams and gives water to the green truck gardens. Before long she comes to a city where spans of curved steel bridge her. These bridges support busy, hurrying, multicolored trucks and autos. The busy streets are lined with silver lamp posts and stores with gay window trimmings. She sees streamlined, modern office-buildings whose revolving doors whirl as crowds pass in and out. The stream goes on, past white cottages and red brick factories. On she flows until she joins a greater river. Together they make their way to the sea, turning turbines, irrigating land, providing cities with water, cleansing the countryside. This stream knows America. She has seen farms, villages, and cities. She has seen Russian architecture in churches, Jewish synagogues, cross-topped steeples. She has heard the native Romance language of section workers, heard mill workers talk with homesick longing about northern fjords, heard the soft melodious utter- ances of a black dock-worker, listened to the Cantonese of a yellow-skinned cook. She knows America--knows what makes America beautiful. It is not just the countryside, but the races, languages, religions, and traditions which have become an indispensable part of A1nerica- the beautiful. Lois Schoonover Honorable Mention-Class of 1946. 62 School As I See It School, how we love to complain about it and fret because we must be there! We look forward to the time when, diploma in hand, we set out to be no longer encumbered by books or conjured by classroom walls, and yet I see it as a golden period through which we pass. True the pattern is shot through here and there with darker hues. It is not all joy and light. There are failures, and disappoint-- ments, and fatigue, and doubt, and fear, but on the whole they are only the darker colors of the background which make the whole plan more beautiful. I believe our failure to appreciate this fact is that we see the matter too closely. It is as in viewing an oil painting. Gazed at from too close an angle, it is a mere blur of splashes of color, but observed from an appropriate distance the plan of the artist becomes clear and distinct. So it is with school. So it is with all of life. In contrast to our darker moments here, we find the joy which only achievment can bring. A good mark on a report card is so small a thing to mean so much. A test paper returned with a None on it gives an exalted feeling of well-being I am sure no later success will ever quite equal. There is a quiet happiness to be found, too, in just being a part of it all, in being one with the others, to feel, to enjoy, to learn and to strive with them toward one common goal. We call that School Spirit. The world calls it Democracy.,' They are the same thing. I have found in school a world in itself, a world which offers quiet, orderly routine in a larger world where there is no order. When I enter the school in the morning and hang my coat and hat in my locker, I feel I am safe. I belong here. I will go to my homeroom and my classes. They are for me. For me the lessons of the day, for me the opportunity to progress and the teachers to guide me, and for me the chance to learn not only how to make a living, but, what is of far greater importance, how to live. For me there are a thousand doors to be opened for the asking, plus the effort I am willing to make. From a little, narrow, mean-minded, cold-blooded world, I come to a realm of light and warmth, and by stretching a bit I may be able to touch the Very highest star. It is with regret I think of the. time when I will no longer be here, when buzzers, report-card day, and assemblies will no longer be for me. I shall never be a great shining light in this world. I have no desire to be. It is also doubtful if I have made any contribution to the school, or if in the future she will ever proudly point to me and say, Once she was a student here, but what I have derived from the school is definite and tangible. True, from the standpoint of the world, whose standards are false, my benefits are small, but I know better. VVhat I have learned is mine. No one can take it from me. It has become a part of me. From it I have gained a wider viewpoint of life, a truer standard of success and values, and faith and hope and courage for the future. These, after all, are the main things. These are, I believe, the desire of the school for us all. And so I see our school, Southside High, a great and beloved guardian. Through her doorw.ays an endless stream of youth is passing, gay, and young, and eager. To them she offers priceless gifts and to them she flings a challenge, which, if accepted, will make life, come what may, a great and wonderful adventure. Anne Marie Bullock Honorable Mention- Class of 1946. 63 This Is America Hello, Stranger! Enter freely. You are welcome. This is America. From a land of persecution, want, and oppression you have come. You have come to seek freedom, security, and friendship. Let me introduce you to your chosen land. As we leave Ellis Island you can plainly see the skyline of New York, our great metropolis. Is it not a heart-thrilling sight? Does your blood not throb with patriotism for this, your adopted land? But wait-why do you look surprised? Is it the sight of those dark tenements huddled silently in the shadow of the towering skyscraper? Is it the look of suffering upon the face of that small urchin in the street below? Did you think that America was perfect? We, too, struggle constantly with want. Now let us travel southward farther. Here to our left is Washington. See the white buildings of the law. Are they not impressive, awe-inspiring? Sure-ly you can find no fault in these. Do you question why the legislators, chosen by the people of this land, bicker, argue, battle constantly? Should they not be furthering America? That is merely part of a great game. Every government has its faults. Even American government has its faults. Now we are approaching the Deep South. See the Spanish moss upon the trees. Smell the ,intoxicating aroma of the flowers. Who could ask more of a paradise? What is it that catches your attention? Is it the azure of the Southern skies, or is it the homes of the poor Negroes built in squalor, wretchedness and filth? Can we help it if we are undernourished ? say some. We cannot provide for everyone. Now you've seen a section of America. Is it not the land of your ideal, land of opportunity and freedom, land where every- one has an equal chance. Surely we can see its many faults. We are conscious of its imperfections. But, friend- show me a better land.

War Stamp and Bond Council The system for buying and selling VVar Bonds and Stamps in Southside High School is a well-organized, well-administered one. A group of ten girls is assigned certain home rooms. Representatives from the homerooms bring money and orders to these girls. The money and orders for the entire school are then combined. Stamps and bonds are purchased at the bank, and those buying stamps receive them on the afternoon of the day they are bought. Bonds are ieceived in two or three days. This group of girls worked especially hard in the Sixth War Loan Drive. Margaret Creven and Carolyn Bly, a volunteer helper, rated highest in the sale of bonds. A task such as these girls perform week after week is not one gaining praise or benefit to them but is a task which definitely aids our nation's war effort. Certainly all praise and appreciation is due these girls for their excellent work and fine sacrifice. Miss Grube and her group planned a contest held among the four classes- Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior- to see which class would first obtain the sum of S4-,815-wa sum which will purchase a war machine called a weasel on whose side a plaque bearing the name of the class will be placed.

The duties of the twenty-tive members of this year's staff are numerous but not diiiicult. The staff assists Miss Barber in filing cards, keep- ing magazines in order, and the usual clerical desk work. The work done by the members of the staff is of great value both to the school and to the staff members. - - MISS Jean Barber Librarians ' 'i ' M iss Margaret Workley Members Helen Biainculli Judy Broich Barbara Case Barbara Chapman Jeanne Clark Joyce Clarke Dorothy Bullard Betty Carr Mari-on Cook Marjorie Cuyle Margaret Easton Shirley Enyedy Sally Feldmann Ruth Hammond Irene Knapp Barbara Kuster Marilyn Miller Second Semester Ann Fredericks Lois Hoffman Laura Manzari Theresa Masia Janice Raplee 73 Janice Raplee Delores Rothwell Ramona Steinback Shirley Taber Jane TenBroeck Betty Wilson Monta Rohan Laura Scheasley Shirley Taber Jane TenBroeck Lewert, Chapman, Walp, Snyder.

For special occasions, such as the Senior Play and Graduation, the orchestra always fumishes the music. All Southside thanks the orchestra for the part it plays in our school life.

It has coordination, consideration, a respect for fair play, and what is most important, a friendly spirit. Wherever they go, our American soldiers are taking not only freedom, but baseball. They are: teaching children and adults in every part of the world to play. If this con- tinues, the day may yet come when there will be true World Series Baseball games. Then we should live not only in an Amer- ica which likes to play, but in a world which likes to play. Hatred and cruelty do not Hourish in an atmosphere of friendly competi- tion. The spirit of good sports- manship and the fun of playing together can be strong forces in the attainment of peace in One World. L WHITNEY HT1-11337105 Third row: Asst.

The Frosh and Sophomores have been working on the various types of apparatus and have been doing callisthenics in their gym classes. The war has brought about the need for a tough, durable and capable body in every person entering the armed forces. Mr. Riley has been shaping his students into healthy, wholesome youngsters and has been disciplining them so that they will not have to undergo such a severe change when they enter the armed forces. An intramural basketball schedule was organized with the object of keeping competition centered among Seniors and Juniors, as one group, and Frosh and Sophomores as the other. This schedule worked out successfully although it was not completed until March. ' Another innovation took place in basketball this year. Mr. George started a series of games between the classes of Southside and those of the Academy. During March, wrestling and boxing held the upper hand in school competi- tion and a very nice tournament was held. On the whole, the athletic situation has improved at Southside and the under-graduates are looking forward to an even better season next year. lnterschool Basketball In the first interschool schedule ever played between the Academy and South- side, the S. H. S. teams ended in a tie with the Academy for game honors. The Southside quintets did, however, roll up the greater number of points, 242-227. Southside's Freshman team found the sailing smooth as they took both games from the Academy five. The Sophomores and Juniors lost one game apiece and won one game. The Senior team was defeated in both of their encounters with the Academy team, which was made up of Regional and City League players. The basketball competition between schools was very well received and both schools are looking forward to renewed competition next year. SCORES E. F. A. S.H.S.

K Girls' Athletic Association The purpose of the Girls, Athletic Association is to promote and organize athletics for girls, to carry on these sports and activities, and to adapt them to the needs and abilities of all the girls. It also aims to create a feeling of friendliness between the two high schools of Elmira and to provide a social outlet for girls. All girls of Southside High School are eligible for membership in the Girls' Athletic Association providing they have obtained passing marks in three out of four or four out of five academic subjects during the preceding semester, and have participated in two sports during one or two preceding semesters.

' The purpose of the Physical Fitness Program in New York State is to develop fitness through motor skills. It also aims to develop and maintain a high degree of physical efliciency to meet the demands of war, and to develop skill in self- protection, coordination, strength, and balance. The ultimate success of any nation at war depends upon the physical strength ,and endurance of its people. Whether they are engaged in the Armed Forces, in the production of war materials, or in the protection of the civilian population, our people must be able to .endure the many obstacles which confront them. While the Physical Fitness Program for boys has been stepped up, the fitness of girls on the home front is also important. The activities for the promotion of this program have been drawn up to pro- vide a full and varied program. In order to achieve all-round development, including strength, flexibility and coordination, a series of conditioning exercises is included in each class period. Group activities, such as basketball, softball and bowling, supplement the Fitness Program to produce further development along with increased endurance and skill. Also included in this program are the emergency skills which aim to develop the technique of self-protection and the ability to render assistance to others in an emergency. Such skills are crawling through and under obstacles, vaulting, dodg- ing, and falling. An intramural program of sports is also offered to the girls. Through points received by participation in these sports, by attendance, by dress, and by class work, the girls are eligible for awards. If a girl earns 65 points, she receives numerals of the year she graduates, and if she gets 85 points, she receives an E. This year, the teams of S. H. S. and F.. F. A. participated in interschool basketball. The girls of E. F. A. won over S. H. S. by a margin of two games.
