Lbf1f121QQiL 7ktwuLtiLtli?0?fuL6Z27WMM Individuals draw together When over 2,500 people spent five days a week together at GBS, groups or Cliques formed amongst them. Cliques derived from clubs, or from similarities that students and teachers exhibited. People in the same group could be found gabbing or working together during their lunch, free time, passing periods, or before or after school. The following is a brief synopsis of all the cliques at South: BANDIES-lf a student shows up in Geolo- gy class with a tuba, he's got to be a bandie. Bandies play in the GBS Marching and Sym- phonic Bands and can usually be found hang- ing around the Music Department. They are basically down-to-earth kids who are also fre- quent partiers. SQUIDS-Squids spend their weekends partying with their chemistry and calculus problems. A typical squid is usually very easy to spot amongst other GBS students. He is clean-cut, wears glasses, is always attentive in class, and carries either a calculator or slide rule on him at all times. PREPPIES-This is a predominantly fe- male category, although there are some guys at South who have surrendered to the prep invasion, sporting coordinated docksiders, dickie pants, and oxford tops. A preppie al- ways allows ample time in her daily schedule to perfectly mix and match tomorrow's out- fit. This includes barrettes, purses, jackets, makeup, and any other suitable accessory they may think of, in addition to clothes. The vibrant purples, kelly greens, lemon yellows, and flourescent pinks they wear make them extremely noticeable, even from the opposite end of the hall. Being preppie does have it's drawbacks though-it's expensive to keep buying different-colored alligator shirts and Bass shoes, and, of course, all these invest- ments will be wasted when the fad wears out. See ya, later alligator. ANTI-PREPP-IES-Anti preppies are thor- oughly and totally opposed to the prep mode of dress and have thus far refused to conform to prep standards. They usually wear any- thing they please, including ever-popular Le- vis or Lee jeans, gym shoes, and any non- preppie top. 22fCliques At South JOCKS-To be a jock, one must be involved in a sport. Jocks love to be seen in their gym clothes and are always eager to exhibit their athletic abilities whenever they know they have an audience. In addition, they have, in a combined effort with the burnout clan, man- aged to leave no hallway or walkway uns- cuffed with hiking boot marks. RAHS-RAHS-Cheerleaders socialize within their own groups, but wouldn't dream of being seen with anyone outside their own circle. They go out with jocks and wind up cheering for them as well, no matter how bad the team is doing. They're the only ones who will scream V-I-C-T-O-R-Y when GBS is losing 28-0 with one minute left to play. FACULTY-Faculty members are the only people who are totally alert during the entire school day. In order to maintain this level of energy, the average teacher consumes at least four cups of coffee a day on the job. At GBS it is very easy to tell who the faculty are. They're the ones with chalk dust on their pants, and can be seen pushing AV carts, or covering their ears in the halls when WGBS is on. They usually walk in pairs for protec- tion. JOURNALISTS-Be careful of what you say around a journalist, the next time you see it may be in print. School reporters believe there is a bad side to everything and are constantly trying to find some hidden scandal in every story they investigate, as they walk around with pencils stuck behind their ears, flashing their press passes at parapros. They are the most nosey, persistent people at GBS. BURNOUTS-Burnouts have definitely left their mark on GBS. The burnouts have unofficially declared the bench outside cafe- teria l25 as their common school hangout, but they can also be seen around the outside of the greenhouse, and in the parking lot. They seldom make an appearance in anything other than jeans. In order to make it to practice on time, football players carry their equipment with them as the end of the day nears. LV !,7LKfVV.4'-ij 'ww' -1' A960 Wa to form .i chq es DEBATERS-Debaters believe t ey are tl best thing that ever happened to GBS. Th assumption is a bit bold, although their r cord is indeed impressive. Debaters have gt real class though. They are the only studen who would ever show up at school wearing three-piece suit and carrying a briefcas Never casually ask a debater his opinion c whether or not the federal government shou establish minimum educational standards ft primary and secondary schools, unless you got time to listen to an oral recitation ofz in-depth research paper. ' Etruscan hopes that no one is offended by its satirical look at South's cliques, as it was not written with malicious intent.

Learnin process continues despite big break As the minutes ticked slowly by on .lune 1, almost every student daydreamed about :ing outdoors, instead of being cooped up in classroom. Finally, the bell rang and sum- mer was underway. But, for some students, immertime also meant summer work. Several students had their ups and downs. ttending a summer workshop had its hassles hen it came to the nitty-gritty of studying, ,lt students managed to find time to have in once studying was finished. Clubs such as pbate, Etruscan, Oracle, pom-pon and ieerleading were sent to programs across ie nation to improve their knowledge and :ills for the coming school year. 'Debaters, for instance, attended workshops 1 Georgetown University, the University of 1edlands, the University of Louisville, orthwestern University, Illinois State Uni- zrsity, Augustana College, and the Universi- of Kentucky. I think the institutes pro- ded the many students who went with the ,n and experience of meeting new people. It so taught me better research skills and a better insight on the upcoming debate to- picsj' commented sophomore Eugene Baime. Etruscan and Oracle staff editors represented GBS by attending Ball State Universityis journalism workshop. Twelve of the varsity pom-pon squad mem- bers participated in competitions held at Northern Illinois University and Rockford College, winning numerous awards. Camp is an experience everyone should encounter, it was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, commented senior Renee Hrejsa. Twelve of the varsity cheerleaders journeyed to Bradley University, where they brought back three awards. Senior Jenny Laystrom became a semi-fi- nalist in the Miss Illinois Teen All-American contest, held on Aug. 16. 'gl feel so very fortu- nate to have had experienced this and I felt good representing Glenview and teenagers all over, remarked Laystrom. South students didn't just travel through- out the nation, they crossed the Atlantic as well. Eleven students had the opportunity to A. IA become student ambassadors and studied in several European countries over the summer. lt was an opportunity of a lifetime, and if I had the chance to go again, I definitely would, commented senior Lisa Nordgren. These students were not chosen on a volun- tary basisg they had to be screened, and they attended several orientation meetings before being selected to become U.S. student am- bassadors, These ambassadors had a mission to per- form when they were sent abroad. It was their duty to promote world peace and understand- ing by extending their friendship to others. The ambassadors' mission was successful because the students were able to grow as people and develop their self-concept while establishing lifetime friendships with their host families abroadf' stated Miss Sue Schnackenberg, who cbaperoned the group. The summer of '81 proved to be a valuable one for students. They acquired the exper- ience of competition and promoted world peace and understanding. Alumni Mark Koulogeorge and Jeff Wortman won the National Forensics LeaguejNational Debate Cham- pionship at Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 15 - 19. While acting as a U.S. student ambassador during the summer, senior Kristen Griesser visited several European countries, such as Lucerne, Switzerland, along with 10 other students. Summerf2l
