SERIES: 83498
TITLE: School histories
DATES: s 1988.
ARRANGEMENT: none

DESCRIPTION: Before the closure of South High School in 1988, two histories were compiled to commemorate its 57-year history. A 35-page pamphlet, "South High: A History 1931-1988", was written by the school's yearbook adviser and student staff members. A 30-minute videotape recounting the school's past achievements, "South High: A School for All Seasons", was produced by an alumnus of the school. Both histories were released during the school's gala remembrance (May 9-13, 1988), and reflect the principal's (Dr. LaVar L. Sorensen) view that "South was not being closed because it was the worst high school, but because it was the best."
