Principal Richard C. Krebs
The most wanted commodity in the world today is tne ability of young people to
think, to plan, a nd to act intelligently. And, the planned experiences of high school
have b een geared to h elp you do just that, whether it be in t h e offices of business
enterprise, in the laboratories of scientific research , or at the machines of industry.
What you have achieved thus far, however, is but the beginning of J;he education
which will continue throughout your entire life.
Many of you will continue your formal education in colleges and universities;
many will go directly into employment or into our country's service. Whatever the
course, there will be new problems and new challenges, opportunities to learn and to
achieve. The wise person w ill meet each challenge with honesty and forthrightness;
,the w ise person will seize each opportunity to learn and to serve.
As you face up to your responsibilities, as have the generations before you, it
is our hope that the idea ls and the faith on wh ich your school experiences have been
based may be a motivating· force in your life. With this hope, we wish you well, our
graduates of 1958.
Assistant Principal Howard R. Sorensen, pictured at
r ight, keeps a busy day with his duties a s Director
of Guidance, Athletics, Student Activities, a nd At-
tendance. Mr. Sorensen has contri bu ted much to th e
student body of South by edi ting their actions.
"The most destructive force in t he world is not
War or Disease or Fire. It is-Indifference. Indif -
ference works havoc upon indiv iduals and upon
groups. It destroys our homes, our schools, and our
churches. Our antidote for Indiffer ence sh ould be
interest and intelli gent action expressed with loyalty
and gratitude. The importance of sch olarship is not
attaining it, but using it."
Guiding Southites toward a better understanding of
their high sch ool life are South's counselors . They
have a big job to fulfill from the time we enter as
freshmen until we leave a s seniors. This job in-
cludes s uch problems as sta ying in school, the right
subjects to take, discipline, and participating in
~xtra-curricul ar activities. The program s they pre-
pare are to accommodate the s tudents for whatever
course seem s mos t advisable after graduation.
So, to these people who have done so much for all
of us, we wish to say "Thank You" for helping make
our years here at South enjoyable and memorable
ones. A more profita ble future lies ahead for our
'!lass because of this most efficient staff.
Pictured above are the boys' counselors, left to right,

Student Council presents Mr. C. A. Sheets, their
former sponsor, with a television in appreciation of
his long and devoted service to South High.
The students of South High wish to
ackno\.vledge their appreciation to the faculty
for the wonderful job they are doing. At
times their work may seem in vain, but our
teachers do not give up easily, and they are
determined in their efforts to make us bet-
ter citizens and prepare us for the future.
In return, we give our deep gratitude and
our sincere thanks for the tireless hours they
have devoted to us.
South High's faculty can boast of two Omaha
Education Association presidents.

Southites took a keen interest in club activities and r eaped t he pr ofits
and pleasur es offered by organization. Pleasure was provided by the
parties. dances, and various other s ocial functions . By learning to live
democr atically t hrough group dis cussions, choice of t he majority, and Cb-Op-
erative action in committees, the students profited from t heir memberships
in clubs.
Like frosting on a cake, group activities supply the extras which make
