' Alice Tucker Emily Eiiglish Gdve The senior class of June, 1931, respectfully dedicates this magazine to Miss Alice Tucker and Mrs. Emily English Gove, both of whom have taken a sincere interest in the success and welfare of the class. Both have been assistant group teachers with the class: Miss Tucker worked with Mr. Miller in behalf of the boys, and Mrs. Gove assisted Mrs. Goodrich in the girls' group. Both willingly and unselfishly gave their time and ideas to the class and have aided them as individuals to graduate. ' Mrs. Gove had charge of many of the girls' group activities. When no longer acting in the capacity of assistant group teacher, she willingly gave up her time to take the job of Class Day adviser. Miss Tucker al- ways took care of the parties, activities, and programs for the boys through the 12B grade. She carried on this work last semester by taking charge of the sale of the senior play tickets. The proceeds of the play went for the senior banquet.

In how many different times, places, and ways that word is used! But again Southwestern employs it, with deep feeling, and to you, coming seniors, Southwestern extends its most sincere greetings. You who have advanced from grade to grade must carry on the age-old tra- ditions which Prospectors before you have so effi- ciently upheld. Your e11tra11ce i11to the senior class is perhaps a great event, but it can be a still greater one, if you will consider your entrance with unlim- ited enthusiasm and plan to work and strive as your forerunners have done. You must keep South- western's emblems, the pick and spade, ever shin- ingg never permit them to become useless, They have been used for nine years, you must preserve their beauty with an unbounded zeal, worthy of a true Prospector. If you are willing to strive to the utmost, you are worthy of preserving the schoolis reputation un- blemished. The reputation for high scholarship and for playing the game squarely is one of which any- one may be proud. You 111ust maintain the school's high standards in scholarship and other achieve- ments that have been made by your predecessorsg above all, it is your opportunity to improve previous records. P Hepes Realized HE PROSPECTOR has reached his ninth year of prospecting this semester. He has toiled for the realization of his hopes and ideals, How well he has been rewarded this year! Much credit is due him for his organization of the football team which secured the famed Dart- mouth Trophy. Ever present in this team bur11ed the fire inspired by the ideals of this brave Pros- pector. Hard work, fair play, embodied in the very atmosphere which surrounds this school, kept every- one searching for the best. Not o11ly did the Prospector infuse athletic teams with his magnetic touch, but the debating team experienced a very gratifying selnester. The debaters won their first five debates, although they were unfortunately eliminated in the state semi- ilnal tilts. The music department brought considerable glory to the Prospector, by furnishing six delegates to the National Chorus. He is proud of the honor of producing such talented singers. The Prospector's mouthpiece, the school publi- cation, received national recognition as a first class newspaper. Proteges of this virile Prospector, in the form of clubs, have contributed much to the school's social program, besides giving letter banquets, man- aging the second hand bookstore, serving tea on special occasions, alld elaborating upon some phase of school work. Believing in the adage that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, the Prospector secured entertainment for his followers. Dances, mass meet- ings, parties, and outings were conducted by him during the course of the term. lncreasing honors and awards are gaining a wide reputation for the Prospector. Whenever his name is associated with that of his contemporaries it is mentioned with respect. The reimze Plaque HE school debaters have toiled industriouslyg and for the first time in the history of South- western, they have received the Free Press bronze plaque. This award is presented only to those schools whose debaters successfully entered the state elimination contest. Southwestern and North- ern were the only teams in the district to enter this elimination with a record of five victories and no defeats. When the Prospectors engaged Redford's team, the judges decided that the Red and Grey team had the advantage, and the loss of the Red- ford tilt eliminated Southwestern from the tourna- ment. The plaque, symbol of intellectual achieve- ment, will long bear the inscribed names of the de- baters, Helen E. Farkas, Max Reck, Jean McLean, and Jack Jones. ' Most high schools are well known because of their athletic records. Southwestern is one of the few which is not only respected as an opponent in sports, but is also admired for the mental power of its debaters and other public speakers. Page Three
