Ever Changingg Always Striving To Improve Since its beginning, Fargo South High has been ever changing, always striving to improve what they already have. Ten years has brought about many changes here at South, not only in academics but in all the other areas. Like all schools just starting out, South had its complications. For the first four months of the first year, South was without a gymnasium. Not only was the gym uncompleted but the whole area beyond the present day gym doors was still under construction. This included the music rooms and home economics rooms. The gym classes spent a lot of time walking outdoors and when it rained they watched films. The music classes met in the basement where the ILC Klndependent Learning Centerl is now located. Other problems that confused the first year at South included uncompleted class rooms and the entrance of the freshmen into the high school. According to Mr. Otto Bernhoft, Southls first principal, the freshmen were resented', by the older students. Mr. Burnhoft was the principal at Central High School before it burned down and he remained principal at South until 1970. Many things were changed during those first years at South, including the shortening of the class periods from 55 minutes to 40 minutes. The chemistry classes were one of the biggest reasons for changing the class period length because 55 minutes was not enough time for a lab and a double period C80 minutesl was just the right length. eighteen-Academics One of the best changes made at South in th' last ten years was the addition of the vocationf wing and the journalism equipment. Anothf positive move had to do with the Music, Art an Phy. Ed. Departments. Before the change was made, the students did not receive any credit towards graduation for their work. In addition another chemistry class, Chem Study, and the early morning gym classes were added to the curriculum. Since South opened its doors ten years ago, there has been a decrease in the enrollment for advanced science and math courses. Mr. Ed Raymond, South's present principal, believes that this is one of the major reasons for the lower scores in the mass testing iScholastic Aptitude Tests and American College Testihg Programsl because the advanced classes teach the students to think in patterns. In the beginning, South had a dress code, but this caused a few problems and it was soon decided that the code was something that South didn't need. Mr. Bernhoft believes that the code was the major problem in the years that he was at South, however, there were never any major discipline problems. The open campus policy was started in l969. Mr. Bernhoft feels that for the good students it is a T ,-QSO!
