AP classes est year of our lives? Busiest! Preparation for college was on the mind of many seniors during 1984. Some chose to enroll in one or more of South's Advanced Placement courses, allowing them to exper- ience college-level learning situations with- out the pressures of college life. A.P. courses were offered in English, math, and history, as well as music and art. But besides the academic experience, what else will be remembered about the A.P. classes? Students in Calculus, the A.P. math class, remembered Mr. Mosman writing prob- lems on the board and saying, Any child on the street knows the answer to this, when actually the answer was a mystery to even his brightest students. Mr. MacKnight was remembered for wearing his wool cap in class and drinking cranberry juice on days he felt himself catching a cold. And who could forget his system of classroom disci- pline? Get out-of-line in class and he would throw a chalkboard eraser at you! Max Niel- son continued to test his patience one day and found herself sitting in the hall outside his room. jimmy Pigato enjoyed hearing Mr. MacK- night's life story, but missed out on his Martin Luther King presentation. Sharon Morrow remembered Peter Reilly laughing at the racey parts of the poems discussed in A.P. English. Mr. MacKnight's Friday essays may have been nerve-wracking, but Mr. Hadden's D.B.Q.'s Cdocument-based questionsl in A.P. History caused extreme anxiety. Lisa Kalibak and janet Schultz probably spoke for many history students when they said the DBQ's were the worst. I hated them more than anything in the world, ex- claimed janet. lt seemed like the only per- son to get 20s on them was Peter Reilly. The seniors of 1984 will always remember the valuable lessons taught to them in their A.P. classes, but they will also remember the good times and the varieties of individuals that made high school unforgettable. -I.

Scott Meinert Dumb jock? Naaa. .just listen to this Scott Meinert stood out among students at South High, and not because of his 6'2 frame. Thanks to a fast-break and slam dunk that couldn't be beat, many people were familiar with his name. Most were familiar with the athletic side of Scott. He started all three of his years at South on the Varsity basketball team. In 1983, he went to the State Championship game. In 1984, he broke the school record for individual scor- ing of 37 points in one game by scoring 41 points. Scott was an exceptional athlete - but he didn't fit the dumb jock image. He was a member of the National Honor Soci- ety, and given a National Merit Letter of Commendation. One well-known fact was Scott going to Stanford - one of the many subjects dis- cussed in a brief interview ... Meinert: I've just signed a Letter of Intent and am getting a full-ride scholarship. Sword 81 Shield: Why did you decide on Ken Parksion Brenna Peltier Sherry Perrault jeff Peterson Stanford? M: The climate and the attitudjes influ- enced me the most. It would be nec or to see a foot- ball game and be able to take my I ball outside in November, get a little tan ... S8iS: Most people aren't conte themselves. Is there anything yo changed? M: I'd want to be 6'4 , hav ing my nails, improve my the Aborigine culture, dri S8452 Speaking of driving, tto play shirt off, nt with u'd like e a vertical jump p chew- apprecizjtion for 3 or 4 better, uhh, smile more, sto v e bette care to some of your greater feats? M: llaughl Ah, I rolled through my garage door, flower bed, dented Kim took out the Babbitts' mai a truck, drove tt Ronai's lboxes. ' all one year. I'm doing better this S8tS: What were your f South? irst thou mention backed Irough a car, and That was year. Jghts at M: A lot of people, a lot of very private people. Now I like it. The people possess positive attitudes, really a bunch of good people, a lot of cute girls .. and lim Schiess is GORGEOUS! Scott surprised many people. The out- ward impression he gave wasn't always what was there. Scott had a great sense of him- self. He conformed somewhat, but he had beliefs that he wouldn't hedge on, the sign of a reasonably mature person. A lesson everyone must learn no matter where they are now, or how they perceive themselves now, is that they still must move on to another level, something more de- manding than what they may ask of them- seIves, said Scott. There is always room for improvement. -K. Hanel Marni Peterson Gary Phillips Kathleen Philp Yvonne Phoenix Paul Pickerell jimmy Pigato Marlin Pose Mike Pose 22-Seniors -..-5 T 1 .L YL 'TNI Y 4. . f
