Let's

Open House visitors appeared to find the
challenge of our daily classroom work intriguing.

During 1964, an election year, records will play an important role in the lives of
United States citizens. Records of Congressmen's votes, records of legislation passed,
records of promises fulfilled, records of every public official from the President on
down will be on review. Throughout the country, politicians who are proud of their
records will bring attention to them with that well-known phrase "Let's examine the
record." If the record is a good one, it is openly displayed and often referred to. If
it is not, its possessor frequently feels constrained to gloss over it as best he can, for
records form a link between the past and the present.

Those of us in the graduating class of South High School feel that our record is
worthy of examination; therefore, we have chose n that time-honored American e x -
pression "Let's examine the record" as the theme for our yearbook.

High school records have become especially important to us. Records of attend-
a nce and punctuality, records of academic and character development, records of
activities and club participation, records of service to our school--all these have
been a part of our daily lives and thoughts. They will play an important role in de-
termining our success or failure in the future. For the past is built of records, and the
future will have only what is given to it by the past.

In the years to come, our record will stand as a t!ec isive factor in our lives. It will
weigh heavily in our aspirations and in the decisions made by those who will refer to
it as an assistance in discerning the true character of our working ability, steadfast-
ness and capabilities in the field concerned.

This, the 1964 Southite, deals with only a small section of the record of South
High School' s students and pe r sonne l, with but a single year in their record, as yet
not complete. But, because of this record in 1963- 1964, we have faith that the fu-
ture will feel the impact of th e educational institution which did its part in equipping
these students to make their ultima te contribution to the welfare of the world.

examine the record.

What Southite wi ll e ver forget the pull and tug of the early morning or the hurried snatches of conversa tion
in the last minutes before school.

Our year included

a record of sorrow.

Southites Judy Stillmock, Student Council
president; Kathy Gillogly, Junior Represe nta -
tive; and Donald R. Stewart, Sponsor, stand
for a moment to look at the In Memoriam bulle-
t in board for our late President.

companies, is shown lowering
the flag to half- mast after con-
firmation of the President's
assassi nation.

On Friday, November 22, the record of the year 1963 was written in its blackest hour. For on this day the
peop l e of the United St ate s fe lt a common shock as they learned of the assassin ation of their thirty -fifth Presi -
dent, John Fitzgera ld Ke nnedy.

So it was for the students, faculty, and e mployees of South High. Stunned disbelief was their first reaction
as th ey hea rd of the shooting. This was replaced b y a sense of uni ted sorrow in the loss of our President when
the y receiv ed the fateful news of his death.

Dr.

Krebs

South
High
School
Principal

The future is built on the foundation of the past . For each of us, that foundation
is the record of what we are, and what we have done . But, the record is never end-
ing. It grows with us; can we grow with it?

It is our hope that your record is but a point of beginning; that your aspirations
may be of the highest, thus bringing both happiness and that sense of personal satis-
faction which accompanies genuine achievement and honest endeavor- -truly a record
of richness.

An expression of anxious but hopeful concern
became habitual with Dr. Krebs at South's sports
contests during the 1963-64 athletic season.
Here he was caught glancing at the scoreboard.

P. S. We won this game against Westside on
January 311 58- 54.

He appeared more confident as he pinned the
cadet colonel pips on the shoulder of Battalion
Commander Donald Stevens at the Military Ball
on February 21.

The principal of South High,

He seemed even more rel axed at the gala Latin C lub banquet when he was treated to a "Roman" feast and
the servile attentions of a student " slave. "

Nancee Connelley

The 1963-64 Student Council has
reached a high pinnacle in student life
and government at South High School. A
prevailing attitude of service has been
foremost in their minds. Efforts to make
Homecoming one of the finest were most
successful. Firsts include the Royal Cere-
mony in the new auditorium and a Faculty
Reunion Tea.

T e achers were honored during Education
Week with a breakfast and flowers. An
afternoon with the children at Child Sav-
ings Instit.u.te increased the a pprec.ia t·ion
for the spirit of Christmas for the C o uncil

m e mbers. Routine activities , including
the noon ~ance and the Council Store,
w e re services rendered for the benefit of
the stude nt body in hope s that this school
ye ar at South High was successful, har-

monious, and memorable for all of us.

and their sponsor work hand in hand with
