FLY ING FINGERS .

The show case in our new
building was not empty
long. Within three weeks,
the South High matmen
presented Mr. Krebs with
the State Championship
trophy.

Our principal's en~rgetic boosting
at Pep Rallies did much to heighten
school spirit.

It was a happy Mr. Krebs
who received the State
Championship Basketball
Trophy from Coach Cornie
Collin and his team only
one month after the wres-
t lers gained the top spot.

True success is a variable rnea -
ured in ter s of one's aims . He who
aim at nothing is almost sure to hit
it. He who would achie e et his
level of aspir ations high.

Your formal education has been
keyed by that to which you a pire;
the knowledge itself but a potential,
the magnitude f which is determined
by what ou put int it; its worth ul-
timate! t be realized in its con-
structive use.

In the continued d elopment of
the pattern of your li e , may you
set your thoughts upon things of
value ; spend your strength in the ful-
f illment of noble purposes; be faith-
fu l to responsibility h rLhing erv-
ice above gain.

PRINCIPAL RICHARD C . KREBS

Mrs. Krebs joined her hus-
~and to view and participate
rn many South High activi-
ties.. They are pictured at

took part in the Homecoming
Cor onation ceremonies.

As a graduate of South High y ou will become a li vi ng-
svmbol of your Alma Mater. Should you com pr omi . e Sou t h
High's standards, the tradition s a nd hi gh h onor of :v our
school will be lessened. When :vou s ucceed yo ur vi ·tories
will reflect glory upon her name. Since South Hig h ca n
rise no higher than t he achie vem ents of her ·ons and
daughters, our anticipations for the future brighten when
we reflect upon your combined recor d of achiev m e nt dur-
ing the past four years. We hope tha t comin g- ge nerat ion s
of students will rise up to thank you for what you have
done and will do in her name.

Assistant Principal Howard R. S or en se n, pi ctured at

All of South High's·faculty and students were sadden ed by the death

of Mrs. Inez Pereg oy Sherman on November 12, 1959 . Mrs . Sherman, who

had been the head librarian at South for 25 years, had been ill for nine

weeks before her death.
Among her accomplishments was the or ganization of t h e South High

School Library Service Leag ue on April 1, 1935 . She is also credited with

guiding many students into library work. However, Southites r em mber

that she was interested in all the activities of the school and was often

seen in the stands cheering Packer t eams on to victory. .
One of the many tributes to her was made by a Librar y Service League

member who remarked "Our library in fact our whole school won't be the

same without Mrs. Sherman. The1~e wasn't anything sh e wo uldn't do

for her students."
