Foreign Language Clubs Any person interested in the Ancient Greeks and Romans was welcome at a Latin Club meeting this past year. lts members partici- pated in roller skating, bowling, and Christmas caroling parties. They had a booth at Homecoming and even visited a Nursing Home to visit with the patients. The Russian Club is open to any student in- terested in Russian culture. Some of this years activities included Russian folk dancing and singing, Ukranian Easter Egg painting, and a trip to see the Beryozka Dance Company. The Spanish Club exists so that students who share a common interest in this language may share in activities. This year the club did much fund raising and had a very popular and suc- cessful taco stand at l-lomecoming. The German Club is another club whose pur- pose is to stimulate interest in a language. As usual the club's super beetle made its ap- pearance in the Homecoming Parade. Slide presentations and German games are some of the activities on the agenda at a meeting. The club's big trip this year was to the Brown Bear Restaurant in Chicago. South's French Club was very active this past school year. The members attended a French play at Rosary College, French movies at Elmhust College, and went to North Central College to see an International Dance Troupe. On Valentine's Day, the club had their tradi- tional Valentine Cookie Delivery and then closed out the year with a trip to a French Res- taurant. one hundred twenty-two LATIN CLUB - D.

The New Student Government A school and the students within are constantly changing. And because of this, it was felt that student representation at South should change with them. So this year marked the beginning of the new Student Government. lt was basically formed with the hope of achieving greater student adminis- trative communication through the President-Prin- ciple Board and the establishment of several specif- ic committees, manned by both faculty and inter- ested students. The President-Principle Board acted as the major advisory council of the government. Consisting of Dr. Neumann, President Margie Schleyer and six- teen elected students ffour from each classl, the board discussed many aspects of the school, including topics ranging from student apathy to South's image in the community. Among the activities carried through by the new board was the organization and presentation ofthe l972 Homecoming Coronation and the conducting of the mock Presidential Elections in November. By opening the student government to the entire student body, many interested students who were never before involved in the old student council became active in the newly formed committees. Disciplinary problems, environmental problems and student orientation to high school, as well as a wide variety of topics concerning our school were exam- ined and in many cases plausible solutions came about. All in all, the new form of student government is thought to be quite successful. And, of course, it is hoped that next year will prove to be even better for student involvement and representation at South. fu
