The image that you create in the future is dependent upon the habits that you are
now formulating.

Success does not bloom over night like a flowe r from a bud. Many hours of hard
work and years of schooling are necessary to pre pare one for the adult life. Daily
preparation of assignments, promptness and regularity in attendance, and the acquisi-
tion of knowledge are some factors that lead to success.

The staff at South High School is dedicated to aid each and every s tudent to pre -
pare you for the future. We hope you have taken advantage of thi s dedication.
