Yet, no governmental authority has declared what may or may not be taught. This is not the American way. This building stands as a symbol of permanence. Each semester one school generation enters as another leaves. The building remains, yet, it is not the same, for a tradition is being formed which will characterize it in the student generations to follow more definitely than any structural details. We like its exterior, its lovely auditorium, its music rooms, its class- rooms, its well lighted corridors, but still more we like the associations with friends-old ones and newly made ones-in the many activities of classrooms, chorus, or athletic games. May we not resolve, however, when first we cross its threshold to make the few short years to be spent in it, years of serious, conscientious training, worthy of ourselves, our parents, and our city.

We are proud of the record which our council has made this year, and want to cite a few of its accomplishments. It has presented four service flags to the school, it has sponsored an inspiring memorial service for those former students who have made the supreme sacrifice, and it has provided a showcase which gives information of interest about our war heroes. It has donated twenty-nine dollars to our Junior Red Cross Relief Unit, it has initiated the collection of one hundred pounds of keys to aid in the scrap drive, and has sent hundreds of pounds of cookies to be distributed to the soldiers, sailors, and marines through the U. S. O. We must not forget to mention, too, that the council has answered Uncle Sam's call by urging the student body to buy war stamps and bonds. All of these activities help to preserve the democracy that we are practicing through our student representatives. Truly, our Student Council SERVES.

This group works side by side with the Student Council, and its work is no less important to the school than that of the Council. Its objective, which is ever before its members, is to make Southwest a better school. The motto of the Coast Guard is Semper Paratus falways preparedj. This same motto can readily be applied to our alternates, who are ever ready to step in during the absence of the regular council members and carry on their work smoothly and efficiently. This, however, is only one service which these students render the school. They have many other 'duties which they perform willingly and well. They serve in the library, the office, the halls, and assist the council members within the advisory groups.

Seven Iver! I SPECIAL SERVICE Sponsor MISS PIERCE As a great amount of student help is needed to operate Southwest smoothly and efliciently, the Special Service Club was formed as an aux- iliary of the Student Council. If you want to help your school, we know of no other organization which would be more profitable for you to join. These students spend much of their time in the service of the school. We cannot begin to enumerate all of the many helpful things which they do, but wherever we turn we find members of this group at work. We find them typing busily for the teachers, assisting in the hygiene ofhce, watching the corridors, helping in the main office, and doing duty at the lost and found station. In fact, if you need a job well done and cheerfully done, just call for one of this group.

A If M A Every American is aware today of the vital importance 4 2 ilk- Al of national defense. Much as we cherish the blessings of ,, ,I W '-. is peace, we know that these blessings, to be preserved, must ,f jf..-.A -1 be defended. g' g i' Americans are proud of the heroic traditions of the United - States Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guards, of their wx records of achievement on land and sea and in the air. They are 1 4, 'n 2 prouder still of the fact that these achievements are not symbols of A: l :- aggression or conquest, but of the defense of freedom. This country ., i has never worshiped military might for itself alone, or sought glory at II, L . the expense of other peoples. Only when the rights of Americans are l threatened do they make preparations for their defense. When such '. T defense is needed, Americans respond with tremendous might. 15. . The Army of the United States is in urgent need of young men to .L .:.. we defend their homes, families, and futures. It needs qualified men, especially Ai in the fields of mechanics, electricity, and radiology. There are numerous '-fl. opportunities, too, for young men who enlist in the Medical Department ..- A to become laboratory, dental, or x-ray technicians. The types of courses . offered to soldiers in Army Schools are counted by the score, and each student is allowed to choose practically any course that suits his fancy- A 1 from meteorology to pigeon raising. Some branches of the Army open ,: to young men are: the Engineering Corps, Quartermaster Corps, Coast - Armored Force, and many others too numerous to mention. Also, men, t not yet twenty-two, who show qualifications for leadership, may compete - for admission to an Officer Candidate School. 51 5 Warfare is carried on on sea as well as on land. The sea defenses --T may be separated into three divisions: the Navy, the Marines, and the i Coast Guards. The first branch mentioned, the United States Navy, is ranked as the finest in the world. The might of industrial America is laboring night and day to produce the most powerful Navy the world has ever seen. Battleships, cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, torpedo XX .QA boats, submarines, and airplanes are being turned out at a terrific rate, and men are needed to man them. For enlisted men there are seven branches of Naval Service comprising forty-nine different ratings through which a seaman may advance according to his skill and experience. Young men desirous of serving in the Navy also stand a chance of being appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis where they receive training equal to that offered by any college in the country and become upon graduation, Commissioned Officers in the United States Navy. In this war as in previous wars, the Navy has answered the call of Uncle Sam and is proudly carrying his banner around the world. Next, come the Coast Guards. They clear the seaways of the world. They patrol the sea lanes for submarines, convoy troop and merchant ships, and in addition, supply crews for transports. They guard the safety of each of the nation's seaports, as well as all vital navigable waters along the coast and far inland. The branches of the Coast Guards are ll A and Field Artillery Corps, Infantry, Signal Corps, Cavalry, Air Force, fl' in if Twenty- I wo -nn -,mu-,.,..-, very similar to those of' the Navy. They, too, have an air force which cooperates with the Army and the Navy patrols in coastal areas. In Coast Guard shipyards all sorts of skilled workers keep the ships in proper repair for sea duty. Coast Guard schools train men to be expert radio and telegraph operators. Many men are needed to keep this great fighting machine going. There is room in the Coast Guards for men who want to fight for freedom: men who want to hear the roar of a depth charge driving a submarine to the bottom of the oceang men who have Victory in their hearts! The Marine is a hybrid. He is both sailor and soldie1'. He performs as an infantryman in the Army and mans the secondary batteries of a battleship in the Navy. ln fact, the Marine must be ready to carry out any service he may be called upon to perform. Promotion depends almost entirely upon his ability to meet the requirements of the rank to which he aspires. The standard of the United States Marines has been carried to Cuba, Panama, Hawaii, the Philippines, China, Guam, and other far- away corners of the world. The Marine serves on the land, on the sea. and in the air. His fine traditions are as old as this nation itself. When- ever the horizon becomes clouded and trouble threatens, the Marine is one of the first to answer the call to colors. This is war-a war for every woman as well as every man. There is a job to be done. The men join the service to fight! To keep them fighting, important jobs at home, full-time, man-sized jobs, must be filled by women to release the men for active war duty. A few of the organi- zations formed for this purpose are: the Waacs, the Waves, the Spars, the Wams, and the Wires Q. and others are still in the making. There seems to be but little we can do individually. But there are a hundred and thirty million of us! Our combined effort is gigantic. All of us must work, and we must work together. Americans are on Guard! a....,. ..... ..... M. .v i., . Tiwnly - three wiw N. 1' , T I 1 f ' HL 40 3:51 4w 1 Gs 's 9,-.-.bf , YRf9imf? ,- pcs 8 x M.

Included below are excerpts from some of these letters which we believe will be of general interest to Southwesterners, who may remember many of these boys: . . . I've enjoyed the Navy every single day I have been here at Great Lakes. To me, it gets better every day. Things here are so clean it's almost unbelievable. We steel-Wool our decks twice a day. Our clothes must be clean always-even our work clothes .... I've run into a few of the fellows from school up here and had a nice talk on the wonderful times we had at our Alma Mater .... Give my regards to the faculty and the new Eights and wish them good luck for me. Bob Nischwitz . . . I'm undergoing pre-flight training here at Santa Ana, California, and have been classified as a pilot .... In the afternoon we have classes: aircraft and naval identification, code, physics, mathematics, maps and charts, and other courses. I have had two years of collegeg so I have little trouble, but for the fellows who have not had much background for these subjects, it is pretty tough. For instance, we covered six weeks of high school physics in three days this week! . . .The food here is good and we get plenty of it. Gene Sommerich . . . I'm out in Camp Farragut, Idaho. We get plenty of food and it surely is good .... Tell the fellows back home that the little training they get isn't anything-we get that much before breakfast! We have about eight or ten boys from Southwest here. Bill Muench . . . I have been out of boot camp for the past five months. When I finished my boot training, they stopped all leaves. Well, I asked for a. leave anyway, and the lieutenant said, No. I then asked him if I could have any time off to die, and he told me to die on my own time after the war, because it is against regulations to die on government time .... Last month ten men from our Coast Guard station went to Alaska. One of these days my number will come up, and I'll be across-l'm expecting' it any day, but I'm not worrying about it till the time comes. Vincent Monaco ...The first three weeks here at Great Lakes is a quarantine period' when no one is allowed to visit anybody. During this period we receive seven different shots: single, double, and triple typhoid, smallpox, dip- theria, etc. Some of my fellow shipmates got sick, but it didn't bother- me at all, except that my arm got sore from being stuck so much .... There is something to do every night even if it is just going to see a movie which is a couple of years old. Between military training and domestic life we are busy all the time. Elmer Michel . . . Here at Naval Air Navigation School in Hollywood, Florida, we are being given specialized pilot-navigation training .... After we finish our training here we will get our commissions, and after navigating patrol Twenty-eight l '-'U uuuuuunnunq' bombers for a year and undergoing more training, we will become fleet squadron leaders or head navigators aboard aircraft carriers .... Ten per cent of the men down here are just high school graduates, so we have to study more to keep up with the college boys. One of my room-mates and I study until midnight almost every other night, and so far we are doing O. K. Vic D'Harlingue . . .I too, when a civilian, wondered where all our fine steaks, chops, and other foodstuffs were disappearing to, but now I know-the armed forces get them, there is no rationing here! Melvin Tielkemeier . . . I am in the U. S. Navy Air Force and at present am attending U. S. N. Preparatory School at Murray State Teachers' College, Murray, Kentucky. I am reviewing some of my former school work, but I'm also learning a lot of new things .... We get up at 5:30 frather early, don't you think?J and hit the sack at 21:30 19.30 p. m.D. They believe in giving us plenty of sleep. We also do a lot of studying, from 19:30 to 21:15 in our rooms. The only time we get out is on Saturday from 17:30 to 24:00 fmidnightj and on Sunday from 9:30 to 21:00 .... Tell all the teachers who remember me hello , Milton Hempen . . . I'm in a tent city which is about twenty-five miles outside the city limits of St. Petersburg. It's really rough here, but I like it. We eat from our mess kits as we sit on the ground. Since the ground is sandy, if one is not careful, he may eat about as much sand as food! . . . In the daytime down here you can easily get a sun-tang however-if you don't dress warmly and cover up well at night, you almost freeze to death. John Schaefer ...I am now in Camp Hood, Texas. We've only been here five days and there's been lots of work to do, but after we get settled it should be really nice. Out here we live in tents and it's really swell-just like living in a Boy Scout camp .... I've gained eleven pounds since I've been in the army. You guessed itg they don't call me Chow Hound for nothing! Charles Wiethuechter . . . I've been here at Navy Pier about two months now but have been going to school only half that time. They had our whole company on K. P. for a month first .... I really like it here, and I'm doing fine in the class and shop .... Our company gets liberty three times a week-Thurs- day, Saturday, and Sunday-but we always have to be in by twelve. Chicago is probably the best liberty town in the country, everyone is so friendly. Bob Mueller ...I'm stationed here at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as a stenographer in the Armored Force Headquarters .... I completed my basic training a couple months ago, and I managed to make a satisfactory mark on my typing and shorthand test, so I landed this job, which I find both enjoyable and interesting. We have wonderful sleeping quarters, regular working hours, and lots of work to keep us busy .... I hope to get a rating in the near future, but regardless, I still find army life to my liking. Yours for Victory, Fred Tornatore Twenty - nine 1 1 .f . . .Here at the Aviation Center We get super G. I. haircuts. They are called Kelly Klips here. If you Want to see some horrible examples come to San Antonio! Ted Kiburz ...Our Whole detachment at Spearfish, South Dakota, is laying away 86.25 from our S50 monthly pay for War Bonds . . . The 310,000 insurance policy we have for flying makes me feel quite valuable. Harry Fey fEditor of ROUNDUP, 19421 ...Once again your irrepressible student Writes back, this time from a distant country. As you probably know, I can't say what I am doing or where I am, but I can say that I'm sure We will do all we can to help end this war . . .I Want to thank the girls of the advisory group fgirls, ah! They're my weaknessl for that wonderful letter they wrote me while I was still in the States. Ray Montgomery . V i A AMEi12icAixi EAGLES 5 4 by berrm-an Ottenad ..

What Yank can fight without them? They are the people on the home front. It is they that make the military power of the United States. But what is it that they do? How do they help? What can we ourselves do? Let's see. First and one of the most important things we can do is to help finance our government. We can save our pennies, give ten per cent of incomes for war bonds, use bonds as gifts. We are just lending our money after all and will get it back with interest. Another way to put our idle money to use is to give to the Red Cross. What would the wounded soldier lying on the battlefield do without the Red Cross? He would remain there till death granted him merciful release. This organization not only saves lives but gives food, shelter, clothing, and comfort to the stricken. Its work is possible only through us and our donations. Besides giving money to the Red Cross, we may give our services. We can make bandages, pack medical supplies, and if we are sixteen years of age or older and in good health, we can donate blood to save a soldier's life. We must help in any way we can. The Red Cross needs us badly! Now that our soldiers require so much of our food stuEs there is a shortage of some items. To help offset this, we can raise a little of our own food in our own back yards. The government asks us to do this. It is not very difficult. Just a small amount of time and work are needed. A book from the library will tell us what to do. Let's not only dig up ciur ovgn yards but also dig the lots next door, dig up any vacant ground. et's ig. Another important effort-war work. Someone has to manufacture the guns, the tanks, the airplanes, the boats, the everything with which Johnny can ight. Why can't we help? There are many jobs open to us. After school and during the summer we can surely do something. Victory depends upon our productive might excelling that of the Axis. Then there is another type of war work we may do-civilian defense. If TNT should fall on our cities, incendiaries rain their shower of Hame- setting thermite, machine gun bullets whistle their song of death on our pavements, who will help the stricken? Who will report fires, iight fires, do decontamination work, rescue the trapped, clear away wreckage? Cer- tainly the soldier on the battlefield can't. He's busy. It must be we. If we are between sixteen and sixty years of age and are physically and mentally sound, we should do our bit. While helping our country, we will also learn much of value to ourselves. Quite important, too, is conservation. Conservation? Conservation of what? Of everything! For example, tin cans when prepared properly fit takes only a stamp of the footb can be melted down, and the vital tin and steel in them used. We can keep our cars in repair, protect our tires, save gasoline by using it only when absolutely necessary, conserve leather and rubber articles, save paper, wear our old clothes. We must waste nothing! Thirty- rwo If someone should say She's going to sail on- we can remind him that loose words here means lost lives there. We must not believe nor repeat anything we may hear about the government, the army, nor the navy unless the information is official. A rumor-monger might be Hitler in disguise. If we should happen to see a sad person, 1et's cheer him up! If he is a soldier or sailor on furlough, let's show him a good time. We can help sponsor U. S. O. dances and other activities. We can smile and be cheerful. It's the little things that count. Let us also remember this: a person who is weak can not fight. We must keep ourselves physically fit. We must exercise, keep ourselves clean, watch our nutrition. We must also remember that a sound body means a sound mind, and a sound mind is essential in winning this war. Let's keep ourselves fit for service! Benjamin Franklin once said, Half-doing is many a man's un-doing. This applies to every one of us. We must strive day and nightg we must do our utmost, we must work to our limit and exceed our limit in order that one day soon we may bow our heads and giving thanks to God say, We have won!

Members spend Tuesday afternoons making afghans and shelter robes. In prepara- tion for the knitting of afghans, old knitted garments are ripped, and the yarn washed. Then it is knitted into six-inch squares, ninety-six of which are sewed together to make an afghan. Small patches of woolen cloth are put together crazy-fashion into forty twelve-inch squares which are sewed together into shelter robes. Flannelette backing is then tacked to the squares and the whole is bound. At the time of Writing the unit has completed six afghans and six shelter robes which have been donated to the Red Cross. Pupils, patrons, and teachers have been very generous in their contributions of material and money. Members who have served more than forty hours are: Helen Borlesch, Nancy Bova, Muriel Enns, Gloria Griffero, Mary Ellen Hoffman, Frances Miramonti, Mary Montgomery, Dorothea Rockwell, and Emmarose Rush. Thirty - six 43 - n A STREAMLINED CURRICULUM In order that Southwest might better serve the needs of the home front, our administrators have made several changes in the curriculum this year. First aid, aeronautics, everyday English, and emergency mathematics greeted us when we made out our assignment cards. With these was listed double-period physical training classes. Emphasis upon such subjects is greatly needed at this time when we are bending every effort to prepare ourselves to do our share toward gaining victory. We notice, too, the freshmen scurrying into the auditorium at the beginning of the second hour. These pupils form the freshmen orienta- tion groups, which meet daily with a definite purpose in view-that of becoming acquainted with our school. During this period the new student becomes familiar with the library and library procedureg he learns the laws of the schoolg and last but by no means least, he learns what our curriculum has to offer him. Hats off to our administrators who have SERVICE as a watchword! .qi ig Thirly -seven AERONAUTICS QFALLJ Row One: Donald Cla- der, Charles Steiner, Frank Gerardot, Mary Ann Swarztrauber, Mr. Chervenka, Ber- nice Glauser, Raleigh Robinson, Bill Byrd.

I oughta know because I was in the same company and regiment that he was. Nobody ever noticed Joe much at first g at any rate, nobody expected much of Joe. He was kinda-well, on the dumb side. Don't get the idea that I think Joe was some kind of a slackerg not that-I don't know how to explain it-Joe was sorta quiet. When one of the fellas would tell a joke in camp, when we'd all gather in the barracks for a bull session, Joe would never laugh outright like he was really enjoying the joke but just sorta grin. Joe was about five foot eleven and a half inches tall and didn't weigh much over 135 pounds. He had a kind of a yellow look on his face. He could have looked fairly handsome, but Joe was always uneasy and awk- ward, even when he would wear a fresh uniform. His shoulders were always slouched as if he was afraid of somebody or something. Even when the Sarge would holler, Attention! Joe's shoulders were still hunched. Now I'm not blowing my own horn, but I'll say that I got the closest to Joe of anybody in the camp. He used to tell me how he lived in a tenement in the lower Bronx of New York and how he always wanted to write great music. But there had never been enough money in the family to get him a music education, his old man had made him work in one of the cheap dives on the wharf where he would play into the little hours of the night for a few cents an hour. W. C. Handy, with his blue songs, was Joe's favorite composer. Perhaps Joe's regard came from playing the blues so much. So much for himg I haven't got much time, so I'll get to the point. One day right after inspection the C. O. came out and addressed us, Gentlemen, starting, he looked at his watch, starting at 3 p. m. you have a week's leave. Next Monday you are to report at camp ready for embarkation. That's all. You're dismissed. Everybody started to talk at once. Nobody had any idea where we were going, the guesses came fast, and were some of them wild. One guy said he thought we were goin' straight oi to Midway. Most of the fellows put their guesses on Australiag a few said Alaska, but nobody figured where we were really going. Finally the crowd broke up, and everyone started for the barracks and packing. Joe said he meant to stay in camp for the week's leave. I started to offer to let him come home with me, but then I knew that that wouldn't be right either. Joe cou1dn't come to my house for just a week and then have to come back to camp maybe never to see a home again. It would only make matters worse. I headed for home, when I got there and announced that I had only one more week before I was to leave-man, did I lead the life of Riley ? That week went the quickest of any in my life. Days were filled up with football games and such stuff, and the evenings were crammed with dates and parties. The week was over about an eternity too soon to suit me. Before I realized it, I was heading back to camp ready to be shipped off' to some lonely, forsaken place. Once back at camp, we didn't get any more time to think than I did at home. Things worked so fast that it reminded me more and more of my induction days when our arms were shot full of all kinds of anti-tetanus and other serums. We were issued extra clothing, and after what seemed to be years were ready to leave for Forty-six 'W' W' al l ff t .3i ports unknown. Our ship was a huge old crate that had one foot on earth and the other in the grave. Great rust blisters stuck out like the scars of an ugly disease. I hadn't seen Joe for about two weeks now, and I was wondering how he was taking the trip and all. I ran across him about the third day on ship. He was looking slightly green around the gills, for we had been having some pretty rough weatl1er. He grinned weakly when he saw me and dug himself out from under the blanket that he had been hiding in. He seemed to be fairly happy about the whole thing except that there wasn't any piano on board the ship. The next day while I was on the prow of the ship, I happened to see land. It was all hidden by a haze and smoke, the kind that hides a steel factory when the forges are going. It was cold. And it seemed even colder after the C. O. announced that we had landed in Iceland. We were to guard some kind of a fort up there. One night we were all at the U. S. O. center-what little there was of it. There was a howling gale outside. The thin door beat against the slim bolt that held it in place. Joe had found a piano and was plinking out some simple tune that didn't have much meaning to it. The rest of the fellows were scattered all over the room, reading magazines, writing letters, or playing with a dog-eared set of checkers. Somebody started whistling the St. Louis Blues real lowg Joe looked aroundg the limp wrists stiffenedg he ran over the keyboard rapidly and let loose with a thumping bass and a trilling treble. He interpreted those St. Louis Blues the way W. C. Handy meant them to be interpreted when he put the tune on paper. The click of checkers stoppedg the scratch of pens stoppedg there was a dead silence. Joe poured his soul out in those few minutes. All the hard- ship and grief that had been his he put in that short tune. His thin pale hands moved over the keys as if they weren't a part of him. The wind seemed to beat wildly at the door in tempo with his soul-shaking, booming bass. And the windows shook, tinkling in harmony with his insane treble. The last note dropped off into silence. The door burst open, and in walked our beefy, bull-necked sarge . I didn't hear what he said clearly, though it was something about somebody's going out to take the watch on the cliffs near the harbor. He must have wanted Joe because Joe was the only one in the room that moved toward the door. You haven't any idea of that storm! It howled and blew. I imagined myself out there on the cliffs. I could picture how a fellow would have to lean against the wind. The sub-zero weather must have gnawed at a man's face like a hungry dog chewing a bone. Then I ran after Joe to give him my gloves. I realized that he was gone. The storm slapped me in the face when I got outside, and it drove me back indoors. I waited for Joe that nightg at least I stayed awake on my bed. About four o'clock somebody stumbled into the barracks. It was Joeg I felt his hands. They were frozen stiff, just like a fish that you buy at the market. They amputated both of Joe's hands. No, Joe didn't ever get the Distinguished Service Cross, no, Joe wasn't a good soldierg all Joe was was a piano boy-just a' W. C. Handy Blue player. . Forty-seven ON FISHING f Prize Winning essay j By KENNETH KAUFMAN What is more delightful than fishing on some cool summer day, when all the world is at rest beneath the shade of the forest trees! It is a pastime so delightful that mere words cannot express it. It is enchanting, something that sends the minds of people into a spell of delight. One sits back against the cool earth of the bank and looks up at the soft blue clouds as they slowly creep across the sky. It is soothing-the stillness of the forest as nature plays about itg the relaxation and comfort one receives while the breezes fan his face. It is exciting-the awe and tension as one's cork bobs on the watery the thrill which comes as one lands a speckled beauty. All of these are part of the sport of fishing. The above rhapsody is in keeping with what most people think of fishing, but as for me, fishing is so dull and so boring that it defies comparison. I dislike fishingg I dislike everything about it. I hate the bobbing of the cork. I hate the stillness of the entire surroundings. To me there is no sport in holding a fishing rodg none in baiting a hook. What is delightful about rising before the sun comes up, feeling one's legs tremble as one slides from his bed? What is delightful about throwing open the window and finding a grey rain-laden sky instead of the blue that betokens sunshine? What is enchanting about a long tiresome auto ride to some swampy, mosquito-infested river where the fish swim by every two or three days? What is exciting about sitting all day on some muddy bank and not having a single bite on one's hook? What is amusing about having some emanciated canine slink up to one's only lunch and quietly carry it away to his hole in the hills? Of course fishing is full of action-the type of action experienced when one wades into some stagnant pool after his fishing pole and stumbles around on the slippery rocks below the surface and ends up covered with mud from head to toe. Yes, fishing is full of action. Then again, is nature so Wonderful? There are picturesque paths, 'paths covered with poison ivy, that lead to some farmer's backyard, where one is welcomed by a musket full of antique buckshot. There are chiggers that play hide and seek over one's anatomy. There are beautiful crows that flutter up above and swoop down, awakening one from a peaceful sleep. Also there are frogs that entertain one with their croaking laughter as he pulls his line from the Water with nothing on it. Why do I complain about a sport which kings and commoners have enjoyed throughout the ages? Fishing is one of the oldest sports known to man. Can generation after generation of men be wrong? Doubtless there are hundreds of delights about fishing, and I suppose I really have no right to condemn a sport that has stood the test of time. I, too, liked fishing before today. In fact, it was my favorite sporty but, you see, I caught no fish today. F orty-eight l- 1, qw? D-I-S-I-L-L-U-S-I-O-N By SALLY CLAPP It was too bad that all three hundred and sixty-five days of the year couldn't be like that one. Balmy spring breezes were whispering through the dainty new leaves that were such a delicate shade of green, tinted with the pink of even smaller buds. The grass was taking on a new appearance, too-last year's dried and brown blades were getting a fresh new growth, induced by the April rains. Everything was so sparkling and clean-just as if the old world had had a shampoo. There could be no doubt about it, this was the most glorious day since the world began. The spring sun, which was warm as it beamed down from a cloudless blue sky, seemed to be smiling a benediction at the budding earth below. There was the first robin of the year-you were supposed to wish- but Christy Carter felt that there was nothing to wish for because she had almost everything she could possibly need or wantg so she wished all would just keep on going. She was so happy that she laughed right out loud at the perky little robin-its head cocked to one side listening for worms. , She looked a little like a robin herself-full of vital energy, which was referred to as Wim, wigor, and witality by the high-school clan. She had luxurious brown hair, which seemed to act exactly opposite to most girls' hair: it curled more tightly when there was rain while theirs grew more nearly straightg but, then, that was because hers was naturally curly. Her eyes were a dark brown, full of expression, in fact, they seemed to talk with a feeling more expressive than her pretty mouth. Somehow they always laughed-no matter how serious she tried to be. She had plenty of time to get home from school because she had risen early and had practiced her scales and exercises for a whole hour. That was one reason she was happy. As she went strolling along, her station- wagon coat thrown carelessly over her arm, she hummed, Count your many blessings: name them one by one 3 they had sung that yesterday in Sunday school. My goodness, Christy Carter, she said to herself, you have millions of blessings to count one by one. Exaggeration was another of Christy's characteristics, millions, that was just too many. Now let me see - she stopped her one-sided conversation and looked around to see if anyone could hear her. She had heard that only crazy people talk to themselves, and she didn't want anyone to get actual proof that she was crazy-she was aware that her friends in a teasing way suspected the fact, but- well, there was no need to give them definite evidence. No, there was not a soul aroundg so she plopped her books down on the ground and herself next to them. She would probably catch her death of dampness, but-oh, well, this was spring, and she didn't care. She continued her monologue, counting off each blessing on fingers with the well manicufedsovals of bright polish. One, well, my practicing is doneg two, I passed that stupid Latin testg three, they had hamburgers and cokes for lunch today, four, Spring has come-Fall has fellg Sum- mer's sun, and it's hot as-ninety in the shade. ' Silly for her to think of that rhyme now, but she always did the least expected thing. She went on enumerating: Five, I'm going to the Spring Prom -that was the dance of the season held at Meadow Lake Country Club- six, and with Tinsley Campbell g-that in itself was enough to make her pink with joy and every other girl green with envy because-well, Tinsley was the heart's desire of Cheshire High. He was tall, dark, and good F orly-nine lookin', played on every varsity from football to tiddly-winks, and sported a white-letter sweater which was simply covered with letters, stripes, and what-have-you-that was figuratively speaking, of course,- covered. He dressed with the best of the squires and outfdanced any of them, and, to top off what was already a double lot, fudge sundae with nuts, he had a neat cream convertible,- Seven-My new formal-ah -there she stopped to think of it as it had been last night when she had tried it on for the family. It was positively out of this world. When she had it on, she felt like a cool green water-fall. She had told Frances Gill that, and Frances had said, Drip with a sarcastic sneer-but then she was a catty soul. Father said all cattyness sprang from jealousy-maybe, he was right, he usually was. Well, she wouldn't Worry about Frances Gill, the world was too full of pleasant things and pleasant people to dwell long on someone like that. Now where was she? Oh, yes,-her waterfall! It was a luscious shade of green chiffon with literally miles of skirt which seemed to float about her. She had seen Niagara Falls once, but it didn't make her feel like that,-powerful and rumbling, but more like the Scenic Falls in the State Park. She smiled at herself as a Scenic Falls-wouldn't she look stunning druling over some moss covered cliff? She stopped talking out loud and began to think because talking to oneself seemed to denote stupidity. She had a wonderful family consisting of one father, one mother, one fourteen-year-old brother, Phil, one ten- year-old sister, Sue, one cocker spaniel dog, Wiggles, and four goldfish, two of which were black, when this was added up, it ought to equal one family to make a seventeen-year-old girl happy. Heavens, she had almost forgotten, one colored maid, Georgia, who had been with the family so long she seemed to be a very concrete part of it. But this stuff and nonsense was getting her no place. She had to get home, the lovely spring day was turning into twilight. As she opened the back door into the shining white kitchen, a delicious aroma greeted her. Hey, Georgia, what's cookin'? she inquired peering into the oven. Honey, dats you all's favorite dish-chicken pie-ah done made it especially for yo', and we's a' havin' pineapple upside down cake besides, drawled the darky. Georgia, you're a gem, and I'm starved, so speed it up. VVhere's Mother? She looked in the oven again-oh, boy! She's done got company. Dey's out on de porch, was her answer. Christy went into the semi-lighted living room. The windows were open and the curtains swayed slightly in the breeze. That same breeze carried her mother's voice in, and Christy heard her say: We don't ever talk about it because that would make it even more diflicult, but our oldest daughter-Well, she isn't really our own-we adopted her when she was just a baby. We try to treat her like the others, but it's hard sometimes -you know. That was all Christy heard, but that was enough. She fled blindly from the room-up the stairs, passed her brother's door, where an odor of airplane glue penetrated the air and a husky voice, which found it difiicult to stay husky but Went sliding all over the scale from husky to shrill, called, Hey, Sis, could you spare me a small loan of fifty cents? I need a new propeller for my old P. C. 40. I'll pay you back Saturday. She didn't even glance at him but went past in a daze. Well what ails you, dope ? was all Phil said, he knew she probably didn't have any money anyway. Sue with the long black pigtails asked, Christy, what does D-I-S-I-L- L-U-S-I-O-N mean ? But this received no answer either. Fifty 5 She went into her own room, turned on the light and stood staring into space. ''Disillusion -indeed-yes, this was it-to the thousandth degree. Her whole world which a moment before had been so completely happy was now a mass of crumbled ruins. Not Mother's and Father's real daughter-that was too hard to believe. She stood with her back to the door and tried to comprehend it, but that just wasn't possible. She tried to cry, but the tears seemed to have frozen into a solid ball of fire and stuck in her throat. Her eyes burned and her hands shook, but she could not cry. She sat down on her bed and looked about the room. It was a pretty room. Mother had made flowered drapes and a dressing table to match, but she had no right to say Mother , that woman wasn't even any relative, let alone her mother. There was a book case in the room. Father had made it, but he wasn't her real father. If they weren't her real parents, then Phil and Sue weren't really her brother and sister-no, it just couldn't be true. That knocked the bottom out of life like sticking your fist through a paper cup-as simple and as ruinous as that. Georgia came to the back stairs and called in her rich contralto voice, Dinnah-come to dinnah, childrens! Christy wasn't hungry any more-even chicken pie didn't sound good -not any more. She isn't really our own -ran through her head until she thought it would surely split the sides. Phil and Sue were galloping down the stairs calling, Hurry, Christy. Yes, hurry-she must hurry. She tried to collect her thoughts and swallow that lump, but it wouldn't go down, it wouldn't come up. It stuck. They had already said grace when she slid into her chair next to her mother -no, Mrs. Carter. Her father boomed in his good natured voice, Well, Chick-a-dee - he always called her that- why the long pan? I thought you would be as gay as a butterfly in a daisy field with the Prom coming up so soon ? Yes, sir-it is nice, but her voice didn't seem to belong to her. If that lump would only leave. She took a big gulp of milk to wash it down, but it didn't help. Christy, dear, please don't drink your milk so fast. I tell Phil and Sue that, but I thought you had outgrown the habit-my big girl. This was from Mother in her soft gentle voice. Yes, ma'am -was all Christy could say. My big girl -where did she get that? Why had they lied to her? That made her whole life a lie. Yes- What did you say, Phil ? she asked coming out from beneath her own morbid thoughts. I said will you please lend me fifty cents till Saturday? Phil reasked in a disgusted tone-fourteen is likely to be a disgusted age-so grown up, you know. She forced a smile and replied, Sure, Phil, I'll lend it to you, and I might even give it to you. ' Hey, Dad, did you hear that? I want witnesses, Mom. Phil could not understand this new generosity. Son, I think your sister has a slight case of what is known as spring fever. It is either love or a summer cold, laughed Mr. Carter. They seemed to be laughing at her, Your sister -why didn't they stop? She had been messing around on her plate, really eating nothing, and the dough in the pie only made the lump worse. Georgia came in to pour more water. Now, honey, she said, you just go right ahead and eat your dinnah. You ain't eat a bit-Ah thought you all was hungry. No, not very, Christy replied. May I be excused, please ? Fifty-one Yes, dear, answered her mother. Do you have much home work? I thought I'd shorten your blue skirt. Yes, I have a history paper to write, she mumbled. Don't you all want no cake, child, interrupted Georgia. You like it so good ? No, thanks, I think I'll go upstairs -was all she could say. Now what done got into her, Mrs. Carter? She ain't sick, is she ? Georgia was anxious. No, Georgia, I guess she is tired. She'll be all right, replied the mistress of the house. Then, dismissing her servant, she turned to her husband, It was a lovely day wasn't it, Stan? Phil, did you play base- ball, dear? In her room again Christy read The Industrial Revolution was a new age -Oh, for heaven's sake, who cared? She couldn't think about school and history now. Everything was wrong, Mother, Father, Phil, Sue, Georgia-all except Wiggles and the goldfish, they were different. Wiggles was scratching on the door. He always came up with her at night when she did her home work. He was good company for dull work. He was a playful red streak as he sprang on the bed with her. He was so comforting that when she buried her head in his soft silky back the tears which had been stuck so long seemed to flow out like a perpetual spring. Wiggles couldn't understand, but he was a comfort. He licked the drops of salt water with his pink tongue and ran around on the bed trying to make it out. Christy finally fell asleep with her arm around Wiggles' neck and her curly head on his. It was thus that the Carters found her when they went in to see if she were really ill, but, as Mrs. Carter covered her up and turned off the light, she said to her husband, Poor dear, worn out. I bet she didn't do much history. Christy woke up about two and lay staring at the black velvet sky studded with a trillion diamonds. She decided then that there was only one thing to do-run away. Leave her family , school, friends, yes, even the Spring Prom and Tinsley Campbell. It would be hard, but that was all there was to do. Not our own daughter seemed to be written in bold red letters on the ceiling, laughing a mock to her. Yes, she would run away. Where? Well, she had 313.93 That would last a while. For the rest of the night she lay plotting and planning, and by morning she knew just what she would do. Her head was heavy and her eyes smarted, but she dressed. She would tell her mother she was spending the night with Sarah, then she would take a suitcase and leave this afternoon. As she took her place at breakfast she could not help but feel a little sad. She loved that lovely gracious woman she had learned to call Mother, and the friendly man who called her Chick-a-dee, and Phil who wanted fifty cents. She could give it to him and still have 31343. She guessed she would. She loved Sue, who wondered what D-I-S-I-L-L-U-S-I-O-N meant. Well, she only hoped she didn't find out like this. She loved Georgia in a different sort of a way. She surely could make good chicken pie. What was that Mother was saying? I have to rehearse today for the play the Women's Club is giving. Is it a clever plot, Stan,-Adopted Daughter. Mrs. Baxter and I practiced here all yesterday afternoon. I'm the adopted daughter's mother. Pm really wild about it. I used to think I wanted to be an actress. But that was before I knew how nice it was to have three wonderful children. Why, Christy, what are you staring at? Is my face falling? Are you well? No, Mother darling, everything is fine--yes, wonderful. Fifty-two YOU'VE BEEN A-CLIMBING f Prize Winning poem Q By KATHLEEN MARSHALL Have you seen a city dreaming in the dawn's first rays. When the housetops all are misty as dreams of far off days? Have you seen a city rosy in the morning's clear, clear light. The streets' soft curling ribbons tied 'round tiny houses bright? Have you seen a city dozing in the brilliant noonday glare. The window panes all blinking in the still warm air? Have you seen a city quiet in the soft and dusky eve, The rooftops hazy coral 'midst the twilight's soft, grey weave? Have you seen a city's glamor in the night's dark wrap. The night, it's shining tresses, and the lights, a Juliet's cap? If you have, you've been a climbing: for 'tis only from the heights That you'll see a city's splendor cast in ever changing lights. ON REVOKING THE MUSES By RAYMOND GRIFFITH O Muses Nine, so overworked from years Of literature! O slaves of Milton, Poe, And Keats, for ages you have turned kind ears To poets telling of their trials and woe. Countless are the hapless scribes who'ue turned To you when stuck with some most trying line. And who. when you their place of fame have earned. Forget their debts to you, the Muses Nine. Your work is done: let writers struggle on alone. For years enough have you not done your best For them? Turn wooden ears when poets moan: Return to your Olympian friends and rest. But when you're gone, your guidance we shall miss, And poets will turn out such dross as this. fAcce-pted for publication and given HONORABLE MENTION by the National High School Poetry Associationb 1 iii nik 1 X.,-ggggss, - Fifty-three IS THIS WORTH FIGHTING FOR? By MARY ANN STEINMANN It's amazing to think that in just one day the lives of so many people can be changed. Remember that day in December of 1941? I do, and I know I shall never forget it. Many became angry, but some reacted differently. Jack was one of the latter. He lived in a small town in a small corner of the U. S. A. He worked in a gas station, and, although he wasn't very prosperous, he was happy. Midville was just a typical little town, where everyone knew everyone else and all went to the little church at the corner on Sunday morning. It had gas stations, a church, a little cemetery, and a main street. On Main Street were grocery stores, drug stores, and the motion picture theater where everyone from Grandpa to the smallest baby went at least once a week. The problems and hardships of one were the problems and hardships of another. Jack had his problems, too, but his biggest one came on December seventh. Midville was stunned with the news, but the stout-hearted citizens took up their daily routine with double strength and determination. Jack had peculiar ideas about this war. Why should he iight someone who had never done anything to him or his family? It was the other guy's war, so let him fight it if he was foolish enough to, but not Jack. He was too smart. One day, as Jack was working, a friend of his from boyhood came to talk to him. Jack looked up from his work and his eyes widened. What happened to you? Did they finally get you, Bill? Bill proudly brushed a piece of lint from his new uniform. No! I enlisted. It's about time you'll be going, toog isn't it, Jack ? For some reason Jack was becoming uncomfortable under the even gaze of his old friend. 'Tm keeping out as long as I can. After Bill's departure, Jack noticed Bill must have left his magazine on the table. Jack stuHed it into his pocket and forgot it until that evening, when taking the magazine out, he thumbed through it. There was nothing else to do now. All that could be heard from the radios was war, and the newspapers reminded you of it every time you picked one up. Suddenly a picture, Washington at Valley Forge, caught his eye. Turn- ing back a page, he began to read. At first his eyes skipped over the sentences, but finally he went back and refiected slowly. Washington was crossing the ice-laden Delaware River, he was spend- ing the bitter winter at Valley Forge, his men were starving and freezingg but, finally, in the midst of defeat came great victory. It was a victory that would live through history because it won the Independence of the United States. Then came the Constitution 5 Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, finally, the Gettysburg Address, with words that made Jack wonder as he came upon them. . . .that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that govern- ment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. For an instant the type took gigantic proportions. When had that been written? Long ago, but it was peculiar how those very words held true today. Now the dead referred not to the Gettysburg dead but to those Fifty-four '1 - unsuspecting victims of Pearl Harbor and everyone of those who had given their lives since that day which will forever live in infamy. Sud- denly, all those speeches and songs Jack hadn't been able to quite figure out began to disentangle themselves and make sense. A great surprise came when the doorbell rang next morning, and the postman handed him a long white envelope with an official stamp. This little thing had worried him for so long, and it wasn't really anything to be afraid of. He was American and always had been. This was just one of those little duties Americans like him could perform in return for the privileges of Americans. He'd get right in there pitching! If everyone does his share, young men like him and Bill will soon be able to go back to their small towns and Main Streets with a tough job well done. F LIGHT By BOB HORTON 1'ue watched the streaks of silver in the blue: I'ue seen the gleam of sunlight upon wings And wished myself aloft, high in this new, This unknown Held of which the poet sings. 1'ue heard the moan of motors in a cloud, And, peering, seen a dot of light so far Away. and yet advancing, gleaming proud. As if it had the brilliance of a star.

His- tory points out all too vividly how nations are concerned only with their own selfish interests in fixing their treaties of peace and do not consider what will be the results. The victor dictates the terms to which the conquered must submit, and the usual procedure is to be as harsh and cruel as possible to the beaten foe. However, to secure terms of peace satisfactory to all parties concerned is next to impossible, but a medium can be reached by compromises-by give and take methods. Were fair and just terms reached, there would at least be some small chance of a lasting peace. Of course the main object of all peace terms is to bring the conflict to a close. But there are a few different underlying objects of peace terms, and most of them are not good. For instance, as mentioned above, sometimes the object is to punish the defeated country and crush it utterly. An example of this is seen in Bismarck's policy at the end of the Franco- Prussian War when France was completely defeated. Bismarck's plan was to weaken France so that she could not rise again for at least another generation by imposing a tremendous indemnity and by occupation by German troops until it was paid. But the plan backfiredg France paid off her war debt within five years and started arming for a war of revenge- culminating in the World War I. The Versailles Treaty itself is said to have been partly responsible for the present World War because of the harsh treatment of Germany. The German people were bitter and naturally turned to a leader who promised to avenge Germany's injuries and to give their country what they considered to be her place in the sun. So it is seen that treating a conquered nation cruelly only brings on a war of revenge. What about the other extreme? Might that possibly work for peace? At the close of the war between Germany and Austria in 1866, Austria was thoroughly defeated. Bismarck chose the wise policy of being very lenient with Austria in their peace treaty, and thus secured Austria's gratitude and loyalty. The excellent results of his good treat- ment of Austria is seen in Austria's alliance with Germany in the Franco- Prussian War, instead of an alliance with France, as France expected. Of course the very best results could be obtained if all nations making the peace would cooperate in an honest effort to promote a lasting world peace. We should be concerned now more than ever about peace terms, because when this present war is over, peace will be the greatest problem existing, and the length of the next era of peace for the world will undoubtedly depend on the type of peace treaty we make. There have been varied opinions expressed concerning the type of peace to be formed-especially if we win. If we lose, we shall probably not have much to say about it. One result of peace that has been observed many times before is the balancing of the world powers by treaties and alliances. This system has failed miserably so many times that undoubtedly it would not work this time either. One system, which seems to be the plan of the Axis nations if they win, is the world domination by the victor. However, it is obvious that a few countries could not hold the whole world in subjugation long, and such a plan would work only against peace. It is reasonably certain to believe that the Allied nations have not considered this type of peace. To be sure, some people do hold that the Axis nations should be punished Fifty-six for this war-should be stripped of all industries and reduced to farming nations in order that they could never build up military might again. But it is doubtful if such drastic measures would ever be taken. Some. people believe that after the war individual nations should use their own armies and navies to keep other countries in hand. Others think that some sort of plan on the order of Wilson's League of Nations should be adopted, only with authority backed by an international police force. Some feel that there should be organized a United States of Europe, under a democratic government such as we have in America. Others are of the opinion that the different countries of Europe should be divided up accord- ing to races, languages, or nationalities. In the Atlantic Charter set forth by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill eight ideals of peace, which might be used effectively in the new peace treaties, are expressed. The Atlantic Charter states that the United States and England are seek- ing no territorial gains in this war. It says that territorial changes and forms of government should be determined by the people, and freedom of trade and access of all countries to raw materials are guaranteed. It lists as ends to be achieved the aims of disarmament and freedom of all men from fear and want. Clarence Streit, a newspaper correspondent, gives another possibility for a lasting peace in his book Union Now . He proposes a federal union of a number of free nations at once. This Inter-Continental Congress would have full power over making war and peace, over trade, money, communication, and citizenship within the' Union. Here again the countries of the world would have to sacrifice some of their sovereignty. To go on with this plan, all the nations of the world would gradually be admitted and a United States of Man, a Government of the World, Where each nation would have voting power in proportion to its self-governing population, would be established. If it worked, this plan would undoubtedly eliminate all future wars of any importance. It appears anyway that whatever forms of government are established throughout the world, democratic systems will be insisted upon, because only when. people control their own destinies is peace possible. It seems that the importance of peace treaties as peace factors cannot be overestimated, but it also seems that terms which will promote a lasting peace, and which will be just to all are most difficult to bring' about. From past experiences we see that punishing an enemy only culti- vates hatred and a desire for vengeance. The type of governments set up throughout the world is also an important factor in securing a world peace. Although many plans are offered, the only ones worth considering are plans whereby the people have the power in their own country and can rule as they choose. Thus, democratic forms of government, which always prove best in the long run, will exist everywhere, people will be at least partially satisfied, and the world may see a peace longer than it has ever known. i QQWQQQQQQ V' i F if fy -seven PATRIOTISIVI AS AN AMERICAN SEES IT By GLENN SCHULTZ What is patriotism? I do not know exactly 3 it cannot be expressed in mere words. It is something one has to feel deep down inside of him, it is something that makes one feel as if he were willing to give his life if need be for what he thinks is right. Ask Nathan Hale what patriotism is, or better still, ask the men of Bataan. They can give you a modern meaning of the word. Nathan Hale said that he regretted he had but one life to give for his country. The men of Bataan will have no such regret. Sick, hungry, and weary, they fought on against insurmountable odds and faced death a dozen times during those last fifteen days of hell. Are all patriots men like Nathan Hale or the men of Bataan? No, most of them are just like you and me, ordinary people, the people behind the man with the gun. Our patriotic job is to increase production so that our soldiers will no longer have to face the overwhelming superiority of machines, as did the gallant men of Bataan. Perhaps you have been to the movies and have seen the people there voluntarily rise and sing our national anthem. This is quite different from the totalitarian idea of patriotism, which consists in forcing a browbeaten people to revere a mortal man as God. Adolf Hitler is already beginning to feel the crushing power of our voluntary patriotism as the American armed forces sweep forward, supported by the tanks and guns made by the Jew, the Italian, and the German, who, in large numbers, constitute our American citizens. When this war is over and a new and, we hope, better world emerges, there will be a new honor roll of American patriots. This honor roll, cast in bronze or chiseled in granite, will be seen in many public places. It will contain the names of Colin Kelly, Douglas MacArthur, and James J. O'Hare-men matchless in their courage, bravery, and heroism. In it also, but only for the mind's eye to see, will be a name standing for those countless Americans who stood so solidly behind the men at the front.

Oh, to view the open sea And feel in its vagrant tides A kindred soul to my wandering heart- A heart where adventure rides. NATUREYS PHILOSOPHY By JEANNE ZELLER Leaves of red touched light with gold Swirl to the earth, dead dreams Of a glory and warmth that yesterday In the veins of life did run. Covered with wintry frost and snow Huddled and cold they wait For Spring's light laugh and joyous days That summer sun will bring. Fifty-nine Sixty BRAVE ALOHA-LAND By RAYMOND GRIFFITH Oh land of peaceful days, of golden sun And waving palms: oh home of brown-skinned men Who romped in play upon the warm sand beachg Of women with exotic, tropic flowers In gleaming hairg oh isle of orchids rare, Of sugar cane, of skirts of grass, of leis: Beloved Aloha-land, where are you now? The fiery sun did rise in full array Upon that one December Sabbath morng It gently waked a drowsy, quiet land From peaceful, fearless slumber through the night. The multicolored birds quick flew from roosts To search for some nice breakfast for the day. The people rose most leisurely, put on Their Sunday best to go to church this morn, It seemed that there was so much to thank God for- Their tranquil land, their happy homes, their friends, For what they've had and for the good to come, Their prayers were stopped as severed with a knife: They raised their God-filled eyes to see a sky Near darkened with most terrifying shapes, Emblazoned with rising suns upon their wings. These shapes were planes whose purpose was but on To blast this lovely isle from off the globe. Hawaiian eyes were filled with wonderment: They could not understand what it might mean. They saw bombs rip the work of many years: They helpless watched a world of joy torn down: They saw Jap bombs destroy their dreams of peace, And substitute the tears and blood of war. And as the smoke clouds slowly rolled away, And as the battle guns subsided fire, Then they began to realize the truth, That thus America had been betrayed. Stout-hearted land, you've felt the fury full Of the incensed Mikado's wrath and ireg You've known the hurt of battles fought and lost: You've felt great pain and seen your children felled By bullets from the enemies' cruel guns. Yet all these things and more canlt cause collapse Of men whose faith is strong and staunch as yours. The world shall feel the might of men betrayed. You'll stand forever, brave Aloha-land. 9 -u-F-5 FV V WE STAND TOGETHER By MARJORIE HARRISON Why should I love America? I did not choose to be born here. Yet I do love my countryg I am thankful that I was born in America. For here, when I was born, I was regarded as an individual with a future, not as a part of a vast mechanism to be used for the benefit of a despotic power. Here my parents were able to dream of and plan a future for me. In many parts of the world this would have seemed fantastic. When I was quite young I started to attend Sunday school, where I learned, among other things, that our Savior was born of the Jewish race, which today is despised and rejected by many nations. This right of religious freedom is guaranteed to us because the Colonists had not for- gotten the sufferings their forefathers had to bear in Europe just because this freedom was not guaranteed. Today the Bible is forbidden in many countries that are in the hands of dictators. Our Sunday schools and churches are important to us in another way, for they illustrate another precious right, freedom of assembly. Without this privilege the common people could easily be trampled under foot by a tyrant or by some political group. Without great cost to my parents I was able to enter a public ele- mentary school, where I learned not only the three R's, but also how to think and act for myself without a thought of militarism. I learned of the brave deeds of the Pilgrims, of the Revolutionists, and of our many great presidents, who founded and preserved America just for us. There I was taught facts, not propaganda. Now I am attending a St. Louis public high school. Now, more than ever, I realize the great extent of our liberty. Our Student Council is one outstanding example of democracy in the school, for representatives are chosen by the students to formulate rules to make school life more pleasant and to discuss common and individual problems of students. In our school newspaper I see an illustration of another truly great privilege, that of the free press. The Colonists, who refused to ratify the Constitution as it stood, with- out a guarantee of their inalienable rights , had good reasons. Was it not for these rights that their fathers had braved the stormy ocean in small boats, depending solely upon the Windg had cleared the forests to build their homesg had battled the elements of nature and the hostile Indians? Was it not for these rights that they themselves had put down their tools and nets to take up firearms and rout the Redcoats at Lexington? Did they not fight the battle of Bunker Hill and endure that severe winter at Valley Forge for these very rights? .We are thankful that our ancestors deemed these rights precious enough to be defended, not only on the floor of the early assemblies, but also on bloody battlefields. Once again it is the duty of all Americans to stand together to defend these rights just as in 1917, when President Woodrow Wilson said, Our duty, if We are to do this great thing lfight and win World War I1 and show America to be what We believe her to be, the greatest hope and energy of the world, is to stand together night and day until the job is finished. Sixty-one Sixty-two TRILOGY By JANE SYMONDS DA WN From out of night's star-studded lawn Appears an amber beam whose glow Reveals unending hope, 'Tis dawn Unveiling earth's treasures below.

The clouds slowly begin to gather, and the heavens become black. In the air it is felt that some- thing is brewing and that this something will soon come to a head. After a short time the first of the handiwork of Thor is heard, the low rumble of distant thunder. Bolts of lightning streak through the sky, and a gentle breeze becomes a strong, stiff wind causing everything to be in a whirl. All that is light and not securely fastened is thrown into the air. The sea becomes turbulent and lashes against the rocks like a caged beast. The wind and lightning cut and destroy, like a Scythe, everything that lies in their path, all that are strong and courageous enough to try to oppose them. War can sometimes be avoided by expert diplomacy for, unlike the storms of nature, which must run their full course, the course of mortal storms may be diverted by those who possess high ideals and keen fore- sight. But many more live only for today, thinking that yesterday is past and that tomorrow will never come. It is just such people who are slow to come to the aid of their country in times of distress, while others fight and die on many battle fronts so that succeeding generations may live in freedom and peace. Slowly, very slowly, after the storm has done its worst, it starts to recedeg the wind, the lightning, and the thunder become less violent, until only the rhythmic patter of the rain is heard. Finally this too ceases, and once more all is filled with calm and quiet. The sky clears and the sun shows forth its radiant beams in the form of a rainbow, an indication that the storm is over. But there still remains destruction on the one hand, and bitterness in the hearts of people and confusion in their minds on the other hand. Woden is the victor and the only victor. However, harmony seems to be achieved for the moment, a harmony that is con- tinually threatened by the greed and desire for power of a few who will risk mortal conflicts rather than forego their own selfish ambitions. It is said that, like storms, war shall follow war until the day of eternity, when men will at last live together with their Creator. WE.

Sixty-three Sixty-four rf---wg fx OCEAN 'S WEALTH By JEAN MITCHRICH The waves beat on and on and on: Their foamy crests rise high and fall. An endless song they ever sing, 'With ceaseless voice they ever call. And far beneath them lie concealed The treasures of a thousand years As to her breast the ocean grasps The gems, the cause of many tears. For there beneath the salty spray What can a chest of silver buy? 'Tis only on the earth above, To gain such wealth a man would die. And mockingly the sea laughs back At those who from her depths would take The things which she had claimed her own, Whose bondage she will never break A crown of jewels a king once wore, May now some mermaids brow adorn. A ring a princess may have prized- Now on the bottom lies forlorn. Ironic? Yes, ironic, true. Yet 'tis our greed doth make it so, Our enemies are we ourselves. It s not the sea that is our foe. --:E:e:: '- he,-!f?T?5i5i5 f 25--.11 - .- 1- Q-.gQg,1- i 4 A - . ,- . , .- -. -.1 ' V' V' ..:fj,:f-5- . 1i:1a-fm ai 1-zfgml:-igrfaf.

No matter how dreary the morn may be, these singers come trouping into Room 400 with bright and shining faces, eager and ready to begin their favorite hour of work. As this is Southwest's most advanced singing group, our operetta principals as well as members of the chorus come from it. The choir also participates in the Band Show and furnishes entertainment for meetings of the Parent-Teachers' and Patrons' Associations. However, the service which these students give is not limited to Southwest alone. At Christmas we find them caroling at Union Station and bringing cheer to the children at the Shriners' Hospital. At other times in the year they do their bit for the U. S. O. and Various churches. During these grave times when it is so important to keep up the morale of our people, the A Cappella Choir does more than merely entertain-it renders a deiinite service.

It provides the next step in advancement after the freshman chorus groups, and it is here that many of our operetta stars are born. Although it does not strive to sing the most difficult numbers, neither does the Mixed Chorus indulge in kindergarten songs, rather its purpose is to educate the students' taste to better musical things. W'hen We ask a member of the Mixed Chorus about its activities, the reply usually is, Well--we sing. This statement brings forth the whole function of the club. This year it has studied songs such as: Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise, The Lost Chord, and the Prayer from Hansel and Gretel. This fall the Mixed Chorus participated in the operetta Katinka as part of our excellent singing chorus. Members were dressed as peasants in the first act, wore street clothes or harem costumes in the second, and evening clothes in the third act. They also took part in the Christmas program for the students, and they plan to enter the South City Contest on May 4 and 5.

MONACHESI During the seventh period as we conjugate our verbs, wrinkle our foreheasds over diflicult math problems, or puzzle over lab experiments, we hearfthe soft sweet notes of a waltz luring us away from the more prosaic things of life and inviting us to enter the world of music and romance. It is the Southwest Orchestra that we hear. This orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Monachesi, has improved greatly during the last two years and can now be ranked with our finest musical organizations. Its member- ship has increased to eighty-two. It does its bit for the school by taking part in the operetta and playing at the graduation exercises.

This is a marching bandg a band which steps out proudly on Field Dayg a band which backs its athletic teams loyally from September until June through defeat as well as victoryg a band which is a credit to its school as it marches rhythmically to its own music on Clean-Up parades and other civic functions. At a time such as this when the nation is at war, our band with its patriotic music gives a lift to our spirits.

Have you ever wondered where all the beautiful dancers in our operettas come from, and where they get their training? We'll let you in on a secret. We don't borrow the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo or the Rockettes for the night, they're Southwest's own Girls' Dance Group. Under the able guidance of Miss Hachtman this group is one of the reasons why our operettas are such great hits. The most outstanding group dance, this year as every year, was the Waltz Ballet. In the usual production of this type the performers number about twelve, but Southwest had no less than forty or fifty! Another outstanding group Was the tap, Which combined the beginners and the more advanced performers. The beautiful costumes for these and the other numbers were designed here at Southwest, and in the Russian Mazurka and the Toe Ballet scenes, the girls made the costumes them- selves. Besides providing entertainment for the students, this activity culti- vates an appreciation of beauty and teaches the members co-ordination of movements in rhythm. Seuentg-eight I COLLEGE CLUB A Presidents RAYMOND GRIFFITH and BUD GROVE Vice-President EVELYN HOMEWOOD Secretary ETHEA MCRAVEN Treasurer WILLIAM BRAUER Sponsor MISS LONG The College Club of Southwest meets every Wednesday. Originally its purpose was to aid the students in their selection of a college, but because of the war, the scope this year has been widened. The club has taken upon its shoulders the task of enlightening the student body as to the relationship between the armed forces and the colleges. Just what could be offered them at college before they entered the armed services as well as the advantages of the various branches of service has been the theme of several auditorium sessions. During these sessions speeches were presented by the members of the College Club and also by speakers from different branches of the armed services. The branches presented were: the Army in regard to the army reservesg the Navy in relation to the Naval reserves, the Marines, their duties and requirements, the Cavalry, its history and achievementg the Coast Guard, with its widened field of usefulness: and the women's organizations with the services they are rendering.

This term a new club has been added to Southwest's roll, and surprisingly enough the mem- bership is limited to Two's. Founded by Herman Ottenad, sponsored by Miss Byrne, the purpose of the English Club is to provide the younger students an outlet for creative ability and active management of their own club. A prospectus of future plans has been formulated, informal debates have been held, and many new books have been attractively introduced to the club by Miss Cordell, Southwest's librarian. The club hopes to publish some day a mimeographed magazine containing short stories, poems, and scientific papers. In the course of time other term pupils may be admitted to the membership. I iiiiiii iiiii D LATIN CLUB The Latin Club meets in Room 303 on Thursdays of even weeks. Mem- bership is open to students who are taking Latin now, irrespective of se- mester, and to those who have taken Latin in the past. The purpose of the club is to foster a lasting interest in the study of Latin. This year the members joined the Junior Classical League, a nation-wide organization of almost 500 chapters. Through this affiliation the club will receive suggestions for activities and will, in turn, be expected to report interesting activities of its own.

SMITH MEMBERS David Dell Wallace Sheets Clarence Bergman Dick Schroell Clara Dale! Auten Charles Yehling Jimmie Brown The Mathematics Club under the direction of Mr. C. A. Smith is one of Southwest's most interesting organizations. Since most of the members are boys who will soon be in the armed forces, and since the need for mathematics is so great at this time, the club has taken up some of the studies pertinent to the war. Among these are the study of navigation, such as triangles on the earth's surface, and the study of maps. Neither of these are simple subjects, but they have proved very interesting to the members. TRANSPOR- TATION CLUB The Transporta- tion Club is com- posed of students interested in city transportation by street car and bus, and its membership is constantly grow- ing. The club has been extremely act- ive, and last Octo- ber had a transit display in the showcase which attracted much attention. Members in the past year have inspected the P. S. C. car shops, taken a trip over into Illinois on the I. T. S. electric line, and participated in several railfan eiccursionsf' touring the city over various lines in their own chartered trolleys.

In what other organization do the members assemble at seven A. M. to go for a two or three mile hike? The purpose of the club is two-fold: to conserve our bird life and to educate the public in the ways of birds. In connection with the former, the members of the club study the characteristics, the habits, the color markings, and the calls and whistles of the various birds. To teach the public about birds, they participate as assistant group leaders of the St. Louis Bird Club in the bird Walks at Tower Grove Park, the Missouri Botanical Gardens, and Forest Park. To interest the student body in this work, the club sponsored a bird- house building contest. Preceded by an interesting display in one of the corridor cases, the contest offered a subscription to the Pioneer as a prize. Russell Weiss won with a very rustic, bark covered model. If the war has you worried and school has you down, take a bird walk. It's a guaranteed gloom Chaser!

The club is conducted under the able supervision of Misses Nagel and N uebling, biology teachers. The club was named in honor of Dr. Edgar Anderson, the eminent scientist. At the present time Dr. Anderson is working in California for the Rockefeller Institute. He is doing research Work on American food- plants in cooperation with certain Latin-American scientists. The regular meetings of the club take place every other week, but there have also been several field trips. The members of the club have visited the Educational Museum, the Gradwohl Laboratories, and Purina Mills. An interesting talk on embryology was given by Nick Nauert, a medical student and former member of the club. Several members of the club have been working on special projects such as: the work on the circulatory system of Oscar, the club's wooden maniking a study of the adulteration of foodstuffsg and a study of spiders.

You are right. They are members of the Girls' Swimming Club, heading for the Y. W. C. A. where they meet every week. Miss Sullivan sponsors this enthu- siastic group whose members are divided according to their swimming ability into three classes: beginners, intermediates, and swimmers. The beginners learn the fundamentals of floating, breathing, kicking, and div- ing. They then are ready for the more diiiicult work of the second group. The intermediates learn strokes and additional diving forms as well as generally improving their techniques. The third group, which is known as the swimmers, practice life-saving and endeavor to pass either the Red Cross Junior or Senior tests.

Eighty-six BADIVIINTON CLUB Sponsors MISS SULLIVAN and MR. WILLIAMS If we had lived in days of old, we would have enjoyed a game known as battledore and shuttlecock. Time marches on , and we no longer hear of this old diversion. We do hear of one called badminton, and Southwest has an up and coming Badminton Club. Should we ask any member of the club to tell us what connection exists between this club and the ancient game, he will tell us that badminton is a modern version of battledore and shuttlecock. This enthusiast will also tell us that two or four people may play at one time, that it may be played indoors as well as outsideg and that, although it is a game which requires skill, it is one which can be enjoyed just as well by a novice as by an expert. He will tell us, too, that although the primary purpose of badminton is to furnish a way to while away an idle hour pleasantly, it offers, at the same time, an excellent means of gaining healthful exercise.

Nim-lg 1 ' THE PIONEER Service to Southwest might well be the motto of the Pioneer, one of the outstanding service-rendering bodies at Southwest. Heading the list of its numerous duties is the task of informing the students about important sports and scholastic events, exceptional students, humorous class-room incidents, and other information of a general nature. In order to publish a paper which will perform these duties well, it is necessary to have well-trained staff members and reporters. To assure Miss Murphy, faculty adviser for the Pioneer, of such a staff, two con- secutive advanced composition courses are now offered. The first deals chiefiy with instruction in writing for print, while the pupils in the second semester of the course write and plan every issue of the Pioneer. Southwest established a precedent among city high schools when the students voted to pay for and send to each Southwest alumnus now in the armed forces a subscription of the Pioneer. Numerous letters to the faculty indicate that the boys appreciate and enjoy reading each issue of the paper. And after all, why not? This year, for the first time, the Southwest Pioneer received a first honor rating from the National School Paper Association.

In this, SouthWest's sixth ROUNDUP, the staff has attempted to produce a better, more comprehensive yearbook than ever before. Believing that a yearbook's primary duty is to present a graphic record of the past year, We have included material which We believe will be of interest to the Whole school rather than to particular groups. War-time situations have necessarily increased the numerous problems confronting a yearbook staff, but we have put forth our best efforts and feel that here is a book which any Southwesterner can be proud to possess.

Come on and hear! These words were on the lips of many Southwesterners last fall. No, they weren't referring to Irving Berlin's ragtime classic. They were singing the praises of Libero Monachesi's Band Show, which was the lead-off treat of the fall semester. A minstrel show was the first attraction of this success. Our two comedians, Red Stewart and Gail Anderson, scored as the two end-men, and Dayton Lierly took the part of the interlocutor with sophisticated dignity. Other talented Longhorns provided various kinds of entertain- ment: Lester Allen showed the power of his twinkling feet: Gerry Boehne rendered an accordian solog Don Ruhland played the harmonicag and the Double Male Quartette added to the performance by singing several selec- tions. Then the charcoaled comedians tripped off the stage while the audience showed their satisfaction by loud applause. Vazoil, the Vim-Vigorating-Vitamin-Vitalizer'' sponsored the Radio Broadcast in the next feature. The radio stars were Betty Petri, Minnie Baudo, Jane Howlett, Mattie Scuito, Margaretha Evertz, Mary Stulce, and Nell Funke, all of whom sang solos. Emma Jean Kraemer with Don Ruhland, and Betty Martin with Dick Watkins pleased with duets. A dance duet by Katherine Spanos and Lester Allen met with genuine approval as did a solo by Ellamae Berblinger. Marjorie Davis and Laverne Tancill amused the audience with recitations. Southwest's Band, the band we consider the best band in the land , climaxed the program with patriotic selections. Two majorettes danced and twirled as the crowd cheered. Then a special chorus sang a song of this war under the symbol of this war-V for Victory. Ninety-Hue KATINKA Katinka's visit to Southwest on December 10 and 11 proved very enter- taining as the talented Southwesterners, after many weeks of planning and rehearsing, presented this musical comedy masterpiece of Otto Har- bach and Rudolph Friml to a capacity crowd both nights. Hats OH to the cast whose cooperative eforts made every moment of the performance unforgettable! Margaretha Evertz portrayed the heroine very effectively, while a familiar character of former operettas, Dick Watkins, added another triumph to his list as her lover. The antics of Bob Stewart and Gail Anderson provided the comic element of the show. Songs by Nell Funke, Emma Jean Kraemer, Dayton Lierley, Anthony Bossi, and the male quartette helped Katinka skip gaily along. The dancers, under the direction of Miss Hachtman also played an important part in the operetta. Katherine Spanos, S0uthwest's well-known ballerina, had the solo part in the attractive ballet scene. There was also a dance duo by Katherine Spanos and Lester Allen, Southwest's Fred Astaire, which brought down the house. Costumes, created by Miss Hachtman, who was aided by the artistic pencil of Bernice Zerbes, brought the gaiety and romantic color of far- Ninety -six away Russia, Turkey, and Vienna to Southwest's own auditorium stage. The vivid coloring of the Russian outfits and the soft pastel shades of the scene in Turkey reminded one of a picture in technicolor. The sheer beauty of the ballet in white and silver, together with the brilliance of the evening clothes in Act III, will long be remembered. Beauty reigned throughout this operetta.

Nina! u V scuwv DRAWING CARDS FOR DULCY THE SENIOR PLAY The year's at the spring and spring at Southwest brings many fine things but none finer than the Senior Play which was held in the South- west auditorium on May 13 and 14. This year's class gave us Dulcy , a comedy in three acts by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. Why need we describe it? We came, we saw, we enjoyed! Nedra Peck was a second Lynn Fontanne Dulcy, and Lester Allen took the part of Gordon Smith so admirably that we now wonder whether we will hear of Lester's becoming another Alfred Lunt rather than following the footsteps of Fred Astaire as we have predicted. James Bidlemann, Ellen Vellios, and Peggie Bacon made the Forbes family live for us, while Gerald Boehne, Harlin Waller, Ray Griffith, and Jim LaClede proved their histrionic ability as Schuyler Van Dyck, Tom Sterrett, Vincent Leach and Blair Patterson, respectively. Nor must we forget that Nick Ivazes portrayed Henry in a very satisfactory manner. Miss Reilly's senior plays are always outstanding. They possess that something which puts them over. This year's play was no exception. In fact, let us whisper it, we believe Dulcy leads all the rest.

This year saw the Longhorns gain undisputed title to second place in the Public High Schools' football league after losing to Beaumont in a post-season playoff for the title of city champions. The Steers, clad in their new green and gold uniforms topped with lightweight plastic helmets strikingly similar to those worn by the paratroopers, adopted as standard the popular T formation which had proved so effective in college football. SOUTHWEST 6-SOLDAN 0 In their first league game the Longhorns defeated the favored Tigers, scoring their lone touchdown on a pass, De La Roche to Middleton, in the third period. A serious scoring threat in the first quarter was snuffed out on Soldan's two-yard line. The game was characterized by South- west's stubborn defensive play which effectively prevented Von Lehsten's gridmen from threatening our slim lead. SOUTHWEST 6-CENTRAL 0 Central put up a stiff fight this year and held the Steers scoreless until the final period. Glenn Schultz snagged a Redwing aerial to set the stage, Om' IIl!I'li1I'nd Om' five plays advanced the pigskin to the nine, and Al White smashed through for the lone tally. Frequent fumbling throughout the game was responsible for nullifying several threats by each side. SOUTHWEST 13-ROOSEVELT 13 The Southwest-Roosevelt battle was one of the most thrilling games of the season. The Steers drew first blood in the opening minutes when, in a beautiful demonstration of power, teamwork, and T formation, they swept 70 yards to pay dirt in nine plays. Southwest then kicked off and Stricker, Roosevelt's speed merchant, took a screened reverse from the receiver and shot into the clear for a touchdown. The Riders kicked the point to lead 7-6. In the second half, following vicious drives by Schultz and De La Roche, Paul Oliver smashed over from the ten and Pucci booted the all-important extra point. Stricker tallied again later to tie the score, but the Southwest linemen broke up the try for point. SOUTHWEST 12-BEAUMONT 13 A final-period Bluejacket rally which ultimately cost Southwest the league championship highlighted the Southwest-Beaumont contest. The Steers scored their touchdowns on T formation plays in the first half, and the Jackets for rather, Harry Exler's mighty pitching arml connected via the air route in the second half. The Longhorns scored first after taking Beaumont's poor punt on the Jacket's 35, but missed the extra One Hundred Two point. Shortly afterward, as he was being tackled, Bill Kehm, ball-feeder on the T , lateralled to De La Roche, resulting in a spectacular 65-yard run for the second score. In the second half, with Beaumont in possession on our 30, Exler rifled a pass to an end on the goal line for their score, and Steger kicked the point. Late in the final period, Exler dropped back to his own 30, picked out his man, and let fiy a long pass which hit the jackpot for the winning touchdown. SOUTHWEST 19-McKINLEY 0 Only a shivering handful of faithful rooters saw the Steers trample the hapless Goldbugs in a cold, dreary Monday afternoon game. The three touchdowns hardly tell the story because our gridders were down in McKinley territory from beginning to end. They outrushed the Gold- bugs 330 yards to 31 and made ten first downs by rushing as compared to McKinley's one. The Longhorns scored early in the first period from the ten-yard stripe, and Schultz tallied in the last quarter after Bob Danner had raced 45 yards to the McKinley two. De La Roche, behind beautiful downfield blocking, made the final score on a 65-yard dash, and Oliver added the extra point. SOUTHWEST 15-CLEVELAND 0 The high-riding Steers gored the Cleveland Dutchmen in the last scheduled game of the season, thus earning the right to play Beaumont, with whom they were tied for first place, in a post-season playoff for the championship. The Longhorns gained an early two-point lead with a safety, and led by this slim margin for three quarters, but in the closing four minutes of the game they racked up two quick touchdowns for a convincing victory. De La Roche tallied from the Cleveland six for our first touchdown, and Oliver plunged for the extra point. Danner dived over for the second touchdown just as the final gun sounded. SOUTHWEST 6-BEAUMONT 13 Playing on a snow-covered field that was hardly ideal for anything but a snowball fight, Southwest's Longhorns were defeated in the playoff game with the Bluejackets. The players fsome of whom wore gloves! stood ankle-deep in the snow, and, after a particularly savage tackle, closely resembled snowmen. It is doubtful if a game could have been played under more unusual conditions-the yardage stripes were com- pletely invisible, and the referees could only guess at the location of the ball. The first score came after Beaumont lined up in punt formation on their own 18. Catching the Longhorns by surprise, Exler ran the ball instead, going wide around end and outrunning his pursuers for a mag- nificent 82-yard touchdown dash. The Steers came back in the third quarter when Steiner recovered a Beaumont fumble on their 38. A 35-yard pass, Schultz to Ebinger, placed the ball on the three, from where Danner smashed over. The Jackets' second touchdown resulted from one of several fumbles which plagued the Longhorns in the final period. Oliver intercepted a threatening pass and was dropped on the 12. Two plays lost yardage, and then a T lateral misfired and Beaumont recovered the ball behind the goal for a touchdown.

The team held first place for nine weeks but then was sorely weakened by the graduation of four star players. Our Cagers defeated Roosevelt 28 to 13 in their first league game. The Rough Riders got but one field goal in the first three periods and only four during the entire game. The team's record was further improved when they trounced Soldan and handed Blewett a stinging defeat 38 to 16. This victory, like many of the others, was sparked by the Four Horsemen , Boekemeier, Jennings, Becker, and Rubich. The Longhorns also defeated Cleveland 16 to 12 in a breath-taking contest. The pace set by our team was fast and furious, but at half-time Cleveland was leading. Tension rose to the boiling point in the third quarter with numerous scuffles breaking out, but Southwest tied the score and then pushed ahead to win. Rubich, Bahn, Becker, and Boekemeier were then lost through gradua- tion, a loss which definitely impaired the team's strength. The team was upset by McKinley but came back gallantly to win over Central to tie for first place. The final test came, however, when the squad was engaged by Beaumont. They held Beaumont in check during the first half, but were overwhelmed in the closingquarters, thus losing their first place berth. One Hundred Six ST. Louis PLIBLI IQ4-2 TENNIS CHAMPIONS cz H VVM. AITAIN DAVIS LEONQIID wgpqg TENNIS Captain Bos DAVIS Coach MR. GERBER The fighting spirit of this yea1 s tennis team produced an interscholastic championship. This is the first tennis championship that Southwest has gained, and the boys largely responsible for the team's success are as follows: Bob Ziervogel, first singlesg Bill Ziervogel, second singles, Bob Oliver, third singlesg Leonard Lueken and Captain Bob Davis, doubles. Each of the boys in the singles won his seven matches to gain the in the double division Lueken Against Cleveland, Beaumont, matches, but the doubles lost, and Soldan, both singles and uad piled up the grand total of championship of his respective class, while and Davis tied for third place with Soldan. and Roosevelt, the singles won all of their while against Blewett, McKinley, Central, doubles won out. In all, the Longhorn net sq twenty-five matches won against only three defeats. This is a good enough record to give any tennis team a championship. Because of the graduation of Bill Ziervogel, Bob Davis, and Leonard Lueken, only Bob Ziervogel and Bob Oliver will remain to participate in the coming year's tournament. These two boys will form the nucleus of the new team which will try to repeat the success had by the previous squad. The Longhorn net squads have climbed from eighth to first place. and, under the able guidance of Coach Gerber, will finish many more success seasons. D Om' Hundred Scum ici-1 SCHOOLS 0: N ff 3 ' , 9' BASEBALL Captain GEORGE KEHM Coach MR. YOUNG Although the Southwest baseball nine began in fine fashion, their slump in mid-season led to an unexpected downfall. Toward the end of the season they did, however, make a determined fight to overcome the great odds against them by taking two of the last three games. The boys opened their season by trouncing Soldan, seven to two, but then went into a tailspin by losing to Central, Roosevelt, Cleveland, and McKinley. Coach Young's squad, however, came back to steam-roller Blewett, to the tune of twelve to tive, only to lose again to Beaumont five to three in a hard-fought contest. The team revenged its previous defeats at the hands of Soldan by trampling the Tigers sixteen to two. Mirrelli, despite a few defeats, pitched good and steady ball, while toward the end of the season, Jennings, the team's second sacker, developed into a star pitcher. These pitchers were ably assisted by Mort and Tomlin- son. G. Kehm was the regular receiver, with Danner serving as an able alternate. G. Kehm, Tomlinson, Therina, and Danner proved to be the sparkplugs of the team by making batting averages of .488, .447, 359, and .355 respectively. Other members of the team were as follows: B. Kehm, Therina, Heath, Pozza, Alberding, Alotta, Oliver, G. Bauer, Ward, and Middleton. Of this team only six boys remain to play in the 1943 season. Also missing will be the team's excellent coach, Mr. Young, who has left Southwest to become a member of Roosevelt's faculty. One Hundred Eight 1' ' .jd-' , I sv.

KITTLAUS Enjoying a successful year, the Southwest Thinclads rounded out their 1942 season by placing third in the interscholastic track and field meet. The mighty juniors supplied the team with over half of the total number of points, 85 M, but in spite of this excellent showing, Roosevelt nosed the team out of second place by a margin of two points, while Beaumont took first place. The juniors walked away with the honors and a trophy by outpointing every high school which they met. Novak established a new record by broadjumping a distance of over twenty-one feet. De La Roche ran first in the 100 yard dash, while G. Schultz and Novak did the same in the 440 and 50 yard dash respectively. De La Roche also ran second in the 220, and Shepard added to the Junior's total number of points by placing second in putting the shot. The Juniors' relay team, composed of Novak, G. Schultz, W. Schultz, and De La Roche, ran third in the meet. The Seniors did not fare so well as the Juniors, but they did manage to collect 31 points. Warne and Guth placed Hrst in the pole vault and high jump respectively. Fairchild placed first in the high hurdles, while White came out second in the shot put. Although the midget team defeated Roosevelt in points, they lost to Beaumont. Ziervogel tied for first place in the high jump, and the other points were added when the midget relay team placed third. The track team, under the guidance of Coach Kittlaus, put up a very gallant fight, one which will be remembered a long time. Om' Hundred Nim- I .V 1 GOLF Captain RICHARD MICHNIOK Coach MR. BREW Row One: Bob Bauer, Donald Nies, Richard Michniok, Joe Michniok. Row Two: Richard Overbcck, Charles Bauer, Gene Bauer, Mr. Brew. Under the wise guidance of Coach Brew the Southwest Golf Team iinished third in last season's tournament. Only Soldan and Beaumont stood between them and that coveted first place. This record is neither better nor worse than that of previous years as the Longhorn Linksters have finished in third place four times and in fourth place once since the golf league began five years ago. Two new lettermen, R. Michniok and E. Fesler, emerged from last season's tournament, while F. Mayer received his second award. The players' scores in the tournament were as follows: Moritz, 91-935 Mayer, 85-859 Michniok, 83-87g Fesler, 93-93g J. Michniok, 102-883 and Bauer, 103-107. During the season J. and R. Michniok, Mayer, Bauer, and Fesler won four out of six single school matches played. In two practice meets with Roosevelt our Longhorns held the Rough Riders to one victory. This was quite an achievement as Roosevelt's team is a very aggressive one. In the first match the teams tied-Moritz and Mayer winning, R. Michniok and Bauer losing. Fesler closed his match in a tie. In the second match Richard and Joe Michniok were on the winning side, while Mayer, Fesler, Moritz, and Bauer held their opponents to a tie. Of these players only one letterman remains for the next tournament, Captain Richard Michniok, Mayer and Fesler having been lost through graduation in January. The tournament is usually held at the Forest Park Golf course, and the four best contestants are awarded letters. With a little more experience the Southwest Linksters will be riding high and far on the top of the league. --- One Hundred Ten B BASKETBALL Captain ROBERT WAELTZ Coach MR. POLSTER The primary purpose of the B basketball team is to train boys for next year's varsity, and this season's squad gained much experience and seasoning under the guidance of Mr. Polster. The team owns four victories at this writing-single victories over Roosevelt and Fairview and a double triumph over South Side Catholic High School. An especially exciting game was the second victory over South Side in which Southwest won by one point. One equally thrilling was the encounter with C. B. C. which the Green and Gold lost by the small margin of one point. The boys on this squad are used to fill any vacancies on the A squad, and if we may judge from this year's performance, they can amply fill any gaps which may occur. Because of the mid-year graduation several members have already had a chance to make the grade on the varsity squad. With a large number of the varsity veterans returning, and a depend- able B team which can rise to any emergency, we are looking forward to having a championship team next year. Row One: Tom Kehm, Bill Bevan, Bob Edens, Bob Ziervogel, Lew Farrand, Richard Overbeck, Harold Clerc. Row Two: Coach Polster, Robert Waeltz, Gale King, Donald Nies, August Ducheck, Alan Tiarks, Frank Daniels. One Hundred Eleven 5!'ACL0t ' K iQ Y-Q ,f f WU f J'7s Ll ', ,rfrf J L ,VX 1.

GERBER captain RICHARD MICHNIOK At the close of school each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, you will find an enthusiastic group of boys Working with a will on parallel bars, side horses, and other apparatus. For good muscular development and for keeping the body in top physical condition, nothing can be better than the Gym Club. A boy who participates fully in the club learns through practice to become master of his body. Any boy is eligible for membership in the club, and if he practises industriously and develops good cooperation, he has an excellent chance to make the team, which is composed of the more proficient members of the club. From the last of September to the latter part of March, these boys Work hard, preparing themselves for the big tournament in which the schools of the St. Louis District participate. Members of the gym team must perform six exercises in the tournament: three prescribed ones and three optional, and are judged on their performance in each. The team is expected to make a good showing this year as five letter- men from last season have returned. The complete membership of the club and team is as follows: Row One: Lyle Heap, Kenneth Weber, Joe Michniok, Richard Michniok, Roger True- blood.

R on Middleton One Hundred Sixty The ROUNDUP staff takes great pleasure in presenting to you-the future citizens of America-this 1943 issue of the ROUNDUP. We have selected as our theme Service , which we feel is particularly appropriate in these times when Americans are beginning to realize that the service of all of us is required if we are to achieve Victory with a minimum loss of money, materials, and precious blood. The flower of American manhood, including many from our own school, is serving its country on the far-flung battlefronts of the world, risking life for Freedom. We who are yet in school, though we cannot shoulder arms and fight the foe, have countless other ways in which we may serve our nation and thus do our bit toward that day when the forces of Tyranny will be forever shackled. To you graduates who are about to undertake the responsibilities of Manhood, may we of the yearbook staff say that we hope that this 1943 ROUNDUP will preserve for you many pleasant memories which you will cherish for years to come, and to you who will be here at Southwest a while longer, we express the fervent hope that you will prepare yourselves while yet in school for the task of rebuilding the war-torn world after Victory has been achieved. -Your Editor.
