Often honor students don’t re- ceive the recognition they justly de- serve. To win honors they enter de- bate tournaments, compete for scholarships, and writing awards. Four members of the debate class represented South at the state championship again this year. Bill Metcalf wrote an article that was in Illinois History, a monthly magazine published by the state of Illinois. The NEDT winners received a certificate for scoring a 90% or bet- ter on the nation wide test. Honor students help build a good reputation for South. Honor Students Add To South’s Reputation 26

Donkeys Assist In Defeat Of North When the whistle sounded to start the donkey basketball game, the senior lettermen dragged their donkeys to the center of the court to get control of the ball. Rick Fer- nandez kept his donkey under the basket waiting to receive the ball; and Danny Stanton ' s donkey walked him up and down the court, while his teammates playe d basketball. During the game, the faculty cheerleaders cheered South on to victory over North. Rick Fernandez led the Warrior donkey attack with six points, Mr. Brown scored four, and Joe Parente added two for a to- tal of 12 points. South ' s defense was built primarily around Mr. Bo- ren’s donkey-pulling tactics. As the seconds ticked off the clock, the South rooters were not the only ones with smiles on their face. The joyous lettermen had guided their team to victory and ac- cumulated over 800 dollars in doing so. 25 ■
