Granite City High School - Warrior Yearbook (Granite City, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 328 of the 1982 volume:

Monday morning. The sun has only been up for a few hours. James Dumont is in his office checking his appointments and schedule for the day. Puffs of gray smoke curl into the haze as stu- dents crowd the smoking area. Someone steps out of the school building and raises the flag. Juniors wave to their friends. Teachers gather their assignments and straight- en their desks. They wait for school to begin. A girl in a red car honks at someone to move out of her way. The parking lot quickly fills as seniors gather and look for a good space. The doors of their cars open, they step out and begin to read their assignments for the day. Tempting odors of food fill the air over the cafeteria area. Boys exchange stories regard- ing their weekend. Girls anticipate the coming day. The bell rings. Another school day is under way at South.

South ' s students ' cars are like the stu- dents who own them. The only thing that they really have in common is that each one is different. They may all have four wheels and an engine — at least almost all of them — but that is the extent of the similarity. Students’ cars. Some are new; some are not so new. Some look old enough to be d rawing Social Security. Students’ cars. Some are in mint condi- tion. They are so clean, polished and well- kept that you are afraid to breathe or even lean on them. Then there are those cars that look like they just came out the losers in a stock-car race. Students’ cars. Some were bought cheap, some were expensive. Others cost their owners their life savings, a pound of flesh and a 10-year mortgage on their so- cial life. Students’ cars. Some are shining exam- ples of reliability; they run better than their owners. Other are terminal cases, drawing out the agony to the extent seldom seen anywhere but on soap operas. Students’ cars. No one really knows ex- actly how many there are at South each day. It varies with the weather and with moods of the students. Parents, also, occa- sionally, have a say-so in the driving habits of students. The reasons vary. The reasons vary as much as do the cars that park at school. From the variety of cars that line the streets surrounding the South campus, and fill the parking lot every day, it is probably fairly safe to say the campus has at least one example of every domestic make and model of car pro- duced in the past 10 years plus a good selection of imported ones.

Twenty-four, a typical three number combination for a locker. Rows of lockers lined both sides of the hall. Most all of them looked the same. Inside, however, is where they took on an identity of their own. Found in some of the 49 x 10 x 11 compartments were posters of students, favorite movie and singing stars, cartoons, calenders and other personal effects to help make a locker a little more like home. Many messages in the form of graffiti also appeared on numerous lockers. “Hi!, Meet ya here after school, were just a sample of the quickly scribbled messages that adorned the walls of these metal boxes. Birthday and sport signs put on lockers by friends and secret pals also added to the decor of the halls. I think it is really impor- tant to decorate a player ' s locker. It helps boost their morals, said Senior, Ellen Range. Keeping things inside lockers was some- times a problem. The administrations urged students to provide a lock to protect their personal belongings and school items. After three of my text books were stolen, I broke down and bought a lock for my lock- er, said Junior, Dana Wood. However, sometimes locks did not do the job. I ' ve had four locks taken off of my locker, said Senior, Ronnie Burse. Lockers not only provided a place to store books and coats, but also provided a gathering place for many friends before school. Often seen clustered in front of lockers were many friends laughing, talking or just watching other students walk by. At 7:55 A.M. the warning bell rang. These students soon joined their friends and walked to their homeroom. In approxi- mately 15 mi nutes, the cycle begins again. These same students would once again begin to gather by their favorite locker and stand around for a while between classes. Text and Design by TODD GOODRICH LOCKERS 13 2 1.

HAVE A FRIEND Your high school years can be your happiest and most memorable but with- out friends this would not be possible. Ev- eryone wants someone to share the happy times but also needs someone to help them get through the rough times. This is why friends are so important and why everyone need and wants them. There are classmates that you see and talk to everyday. These friends might help you with homework or make a class more enjoyable. Then there are groups of friends that you go out with on weekends and gos- sip. Many times this group of friends re- main with you throughout high school, college, and so on. The most important person, however, is your BEST friend. He or she is usually the closest person to you other than a close main with you throughout high school. ings, and secrets. They accept you for what you are. Most of the students at Soiuth agreed on the qualities of friends. Jenni Miller, senior, said, I want my friends to be trustworthy, easy to talk to, and like most of the same things I do. You can spend time with your friends in various ways. The groups of friends at South do mainly the same things. Some people go out to parties and activities with their friends, others feel comfortable just sitting at each other ' s house talking or watching T.V. No matter what you do with your friends, it usually turns out enjoyable. So every chance you get try to be friendly to someone you see. The results will be very rewarding.

These and oth- er famous designers appear on the der- rieres of millions of satisfied customers — mainly fashion conscious teen-agers. Fashion magazines dazzle teen ' s eyes with all the bizarre and expensive collec- tions of designer wear, suited for school days and an evening out on the town. Granite City is a conservative town in the fashion industry. Paris, New York, and Los Angeles are the leader in this field. Howev- er, students of Granite City South were not unconscious of the trendy items that are selling these days. Just roaming the halls, one could find from active western wear to the sophisticated preppy look. When asked why people buy designer clothes, a lot of students said they want Calvin Klein ' s because of the name, as a type of status symbol. Renata Brylak, junior, stated I love to shop at Saks and buy my nice dresses there.” The preppy look was everywhere. It was a classic look-neat, attractive and very ex- pensive to achieve. If for some reason you wanted to be called a preppy, just come to school wearing deck shoes and oxford shirt, and of course designer jeans. Then you might want to add little extras such as an Izod belt that is adorned with the ever present alligator. Mike Moore, senior, had a comment about clothing. I love to wear Izod clothes, because my mom buys them for me. I like to feel a little dressed up.” Fads do not always have to pertain to clothes- the feet also can attain the vogue look. Besides wearing Nike tennis shoes, high tops have emerged from the basket- ball court onto the halls of the school. Many students, girls and guys, could be seen run- ning around with white and even orange high tops. After talking about achieving the in-look, considerable amount of time should be used to think about cost. If you can ' t or don ' t want to pay the high cost of designer clothes, you can achieve the same effect by wearing imitations. The quality may not be as good, but the look is almost identical. Darlene Kaempf, senior, remarked, “I like to buy designer clothes because they are more durable and fit better.” Designer clothes and fads might not en- courage everyone to run out and buy such items, but Famous-Barr and Saks are sure tallying up the money. Whatever your pref- erence is in the fashion field, you can bet you are either in style or creating your own fad. According to Chesterfield — Style is the dress of thoughts.” Text and Design by ANGELA GRUPAS 16 DESIGNER CLOTHES FADS 7 1 A line up of terrific looking designer labels and what ' s under them. 2.

DESIGNER CLOTHES FADS 17 1 A COLD SITUATION Winter was the time of heavy coats, snow tires, thick socks, excuses, boots and gloves, and Acts of God. It was also the time of many unanswered questions. How come my car keys fit into the door but won ' t turn? My hand nearly froze when I walked from Mr. Wilbur ' s room to Miss Veloff ' s room. Why did we have school today? The snow plows, four-wheel trucks, and tractors must make a fortune. Why was it so cold in the A-building fifth hour? Monitor didn ' t make it through the winter, did he? Will the buses be on time? Will the buses run? Aren ' t the icicles pretty? Will someone please clean my windshield off? Who piled all the snow behind my car? I don ' t have a dentention slip but my car would not start and then when I finally got it going, I did a 360-degree turn on Madison Avenue. Who splashed me? Why does it get dark so early? Do you believe this — we haven ' t had school for four days this week? What ' s an Act of God?” Text and Design by TODD GOODRICH 18 WINTER 1 A snow-covered drivers education cor remains snow bound, while anxious sophomores wait for the snow to melt. 2.

Many anxious 17 and 18 year olds took time out of their classes and study halls to become a blood donor and help South ob- tain the quota of 150 pints. Throughout the day, students saw their classmates with bandages on their arms and sometimes whitish, pale faces. Still, this did not discourage future blood donors be- cause many students wanted to donate but could not due to the age limit or the parent permission slip. For the first time, the Board of Education re- quested parent permission slips, stated Mr. Eugene Smallman, new Student Council advisor. Granite High South donated 122 pints of blood after the day long ordeal. The quota was low due to the fact of Homecoming Week and the all- school assembly. We will have another this spring and hope it will be successful , says Mr. Smallman. Text and Design by ANGELA GRUPAS BLOOD DRIVE 21 1 .

Everyone involved in the musical, actors as well as band members, sacrificed much to put to- gether a good production. Beverley Scrogging was responsible for directing the play, chreographed by Mar- garet Pennell, conducted by Joseph Owens, and musically directed by Mary Ann Bright. Each year, as with this, their combined efforts led the play to great suc- cess. The 1981 Spring Musical Guys and Dolls was presented on April 23, 24, and 25. The musical revolved around the gangsters of New York and the women in love with them. Major roles were portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Pennell, David Hunnicutt, Jill Lock- hart, and Michael Moore. For many of the Senior participants, the closing of the curtain on the last night of the play was very emotional. They realized this was their last play during their high school years.

SPRING PLAY 25 SMASHING TIME The 1981 Boy ' s tennis Team, coached by Richard Harmon finished a very exciting season with a 16-4 record and an 8-0 con- ference record. The season started with a loss to O ' Fallon which did not seem to hamper the perfor- mance of the team for the rest of the sea- son. The team went on to eventually attain an eleven game winning streak during the middle of the season. This fine record also included a third place victory at the Belle- ville East Invitational Tournament. The Ten- nis Warriors also defeated their cross-town rivals, the North Steelers twice throughout the season, which is an accomplishment in itself. Moving on, the team was also victori- ous once again at the district tournament held at South ' s home courts. This qualified the team for the State finals. “I’m very proud of the team and its accomplishments throughout the sea- son; it was a fine season,” said Coach Richard Harmon. The Warriors finished the season grace- fully at the State Finals with an outstanding record. Coach Richard Harmon stated, I ' m very proud of the team and its ac- complishments throughout the season; it was a fine season! Mr. Harmon looks for a good season next year with plenty of en- thusiasm and excitement from the boys. The Warrior fans are very proud of the Ten- nis Team and its great record for the sea- son.

The 1981 Warriors were coached by Miss Pat Yates. The team was lead by two Senior co-captains Ka- ren Spencer and Ann Chepley. There were nine Seniors on the team along with three under- classmen who will be rebuilding next year for the softball Warriors. Spencer was the out- standing pitcher while Sedabres sparked the offense. The Lady Warriors beat Roxana, Cahokia, and Belleville West to take second in the Caho- kia tournament. The Warriors also placed sec- ond in the Gateway East Conference. Nita Graham said, We had a really good and winning season with all the team members working real hard. With all the effort that was given, we came out ahead. Miss Pat Yates commented, “Next year will be a rebuilding season.” Even though fast pitch softball is not as popu- lar as soccer or football, these girls put a lot of time into the sport. In Edwardsville the sport has been played for a long time compared to the amount in Granite. When Granite played Ed- wardsville, they beat them 3 to 1 and 13 to 5. So this statistic proves that this softball team has much talent. Kathy Juhasz stated, I really like to play fast pitch softball because we get the chance to steal bases. The 1982 softball team will be very interesting since most of the girls graduated. Miss Yates said, Next year will be a rebuilding season. We will have three girls coming back Kim Ross, Vicky and Dottie Smith. Hopefully we will have many girls out for the season.

Drew Geisler was one of the top ten boys in the state who was invited to participate in the mile event at the Proviso West Invitational. Geisler placed sixth in his event. Individual awards were given to Drew Geisler, Most Valuable; Pat Collins, Most Im- proved; Don Keeling, Best Effort; and Jeff Taylor, Team Leadership. Jon Frangoulis remarked, “I am look- ing forward to a good season next year. We have a lot of talented young people coming up.” Jon Frangoulis was one of the outstand- ing sophomores on the team. He contribut- ed very much to the team in relays and the pole vault. He ran the second leg in the 800-relay in the Conference meet which gave them a third place, and he also re- ceived a first in the pole vault. When asked about the up-coming season, he replied, I am looking forward to a good season next year. We have a lot of talented young people coming up.” Next year the Warriors hope to have a really good season, due to the many re- turning track lettermen,” remarked Coach Mel Bunting.

But, they united in hopes for improvement. So everyday after school you saw the runners meet in the annex for exercise. After the warm-up exercises, each person would workout in the event in which they were best at. Many of the distance run- ners, both boys and girls, would have to run to North High School or maybe even to the locks which is approximately 3 miles. Steve Dumont, a long distance runner, was asked what he thought about running with the girls. There really is no difference running with them. Most of the girls are just as good as the guys. Trish Skinner replied, “I love to run be- hind the guys because it makes me run so much faster.” Gina Graham commented, It really makes me try a lot harder because I know the guys are watching me. All of them were so friendly and always willing to help us in certain events. Trish Skinner replied, I love to run behind the guys because it makes me run so much faster. At all the home track meets for the boys, the girls would be at the track helping the boys with the hurdles and the mats. When the boys would be running in an event, they would be cheering the boys to victo- ry. Whenever the girls would have a meet, the boys would do the same for them. With the two teams united, many friend- ships and lasting relationships were formed. Text and Design by TRACI CONKOVICH BOY ' S TRACK 33 A NEW FACE The 1981 baseball team started their practices early in March. They spent sever- al hours after school each day at hard strenuous workouts. When the team began in the Spring of 1981, they were faced with a new head coach — John Modica. Coach Modica filled the position vacated by Conrad Champion. Coach Modica has been coaching baseball as an assistant before assuming the responsibilities as head coach. Coach Modica said, “I have really en- joyed coaching all of the guys. Next sea- son we will be going for bigger and better things. I just hope that all of the guys come out with spirit and that everyone is ready to _ n go. George Jarvis commented, “It would be just great to have an errorless season with everyone’s batting average to be over 350.” The 1982 co-captains for the team are Rick Daily and Joe Schnefke. Their job is to keep their team spirit flowing. They will help lead the Warrior Baseball Team to many outstanding games and victories,” replied Kent Allen. George Jarvis commented, It would be just great to have an errorless season with everyone ' s batting average to be over 350. My teammates would just love it.” Text and Design by TRACI CONKOVICH 34 BASEBALL 1 . Phil Dudak awaits patiently for the ball to reach his glove 2.

Everyone that plays baseball enjoys the vigorous ex- ercise they receive running, hitting, catch- ing, and throwing. The game is well en- joyed at Granite City South not only by the players, but also the devoted fans. The people who play baseball play for different reasons. Some play to receive a varsity letter and others may play just to keep busy and be with their friends. Most, how- ever, play for the love of the game and to belong to a group to have some fun. Kent Allen commented, “We had a lot of young players with not a lot of playing experience.” The Warriors baseball team finished the 1981 season with a 13-22-1 record. Kent Allen was asked how he felt about the sea- son and he replied, We had a lot of young players with not a lot of playing exper- ience. We also went to play in Chicago and had a great time. I will never forget it.” For some the season had many disappoint- ments because of injuries, Scott Greath- ouse was one of these players. He said, It was a disappointment because I could not play against North, but we had fun chaw- ing and killing sap-suckers on the bench.” Despite all the hard times the players had a fun and enjoyable season.

The girls placed second in the Madison County Meet and third place in the Conference Meet. There were ten records broken. The individual records were broken by Mary Bisch in the 3200 and 1600 meter run and Chris Kessler in the 800 meter run. Julie DeR- untz broke the long jump record and flew over the 100 and 200 meter hurdles. Chris Kessler remarked, “We had an even amount of strength in the sprints and long distance which balanced things out.” Chris Kessler remarked. “We had a very competitive and strong team. We had an even amount of strength in the sprints and long distance which balanced things out.” At the end of the season there were awards and trophies given to girls at the banquet for putting much effort into their event.

As soon as someone asks another person to join the team, bad thoughts come to their mind. They think track is just running, exercising and running with not much fun involved. No matter what sport you go out for, there is plenty of enjoyment, but you have to have fun at the right time. When Mary Romine was asked what she likes about track, she replied, I really love to run because it is so much fun. We do a lot of crazy things.” Julie De Runtz commented, “When people cheat In practice, it not only hurts them but it hurts the whole team.” Every year at the beginning of the season, everyone gets the enjoyment of running the halls and steps. Each coach always has a cou- ple of people who like to sprint only when they are running past the coach. During the other time, they are either stopping to get a drink or just taking a leisure walk. Most of these people thought that they were being real sneaky, but the coaches knew which ones were guilty. He could find these guilty” people as soon as time trials started. They usually are real tired after a long run. This is not the time to be goof- ing around”. Julie DeRuntz commented, When people cheat in practice, it not only hurts them but it hurts the whole team.” Text and Design by TRACI CONKOVICH GIRL ' S TRACK 41 A NEW START Commencement is a dawn of a new be- ginning that enables the senior to begin a new life - either attending college or enter- ing the job market. On Friday, May 29, 439 seniors participated in the graduation ceremony that for some ended on a sad note. Now the newly graduated seniors were supposed to be able to begin a new adult life almost immediately after May 29. This was difficult for some, since during one ' s high school years responsibility is not taught, it takes years of experience. Others thought that graduation was the most glorious and enjoyable moment in their life. Finally, they were able to maintain a full time job and make money for them- selves. Some had to start making college choices which was a tedious job for many. There are various colleges and universities to choose from and total confusion was usually the result for the senior. 439 chairs were meticulously arranged on the once active football field, awaiting the entrance of the future graduates. The platform contained the school board offi- cials, principal, assistant principals, and oth- ers, preparing their speeches in order to make this graduation the best ever. The entire football field was filled with anxious parents and relatives, waiting to see their son or daughter, niece or nephew, receive the diploma from Thomas Miofsky, school board member. Then the field was occupied with anxious seniors who resembled dots of black and red confetti on a perfect and still sky back- ground. Stillness fell over the crowd as Sherri Burns sang the words to Star Span- gled Banner , that reverbarated through the motionless air. After everyone was through recognizing their heritage as Americans, Captain Donald Salsbury of the Salvation Army, devoutly stated the invo- cation that touched many seniors and their families. James Dumont, principal present- ed an intriging speech to the graduating seniors. Mr. Dumont mentioned various spe- cial moments of the seniors past four years and talked about their future plans, hopes and goals. James Dumont then left the po- dium and presented the salutatorian Mike Zigovich. (Continued on page 45) 42 GRADUATION 5 1. Nita Graham, class valedictorian delivers her speech, entitled Edu- cation.

Nita Graham, the 1981 class vale- dictorian began to talk on Education: The Initial Step.” All 439 seniors had their eyes focused on the speakers and some of their nervousness prevailed on the crowd. Ev- eryone was waiting for the moment of graduation. During the course of the ceremony, a breeze swiftly swept the hats off of many seniors. The warm summer air was not around on this graduation night and jack- ets had to be worn in order to keep warm enough. On a table in front of the seniors, layed their four years of hard work, rolled up on a piece of paper. They knew how much a diploma meant to them and for some it represented a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of growing up. James Du- mont presented the class to Superinten- dent B. J. Davis, who then acknowledged the Class of 1981. The 439 faces lit up when they knew they were the unforgetable class of 81 -nothing could take that away from them. Thomas Miofsky, Secretary of the Board of Education awarded the diplomas. One could hear many underclassmen yelling for their senior friends as they were approach- ing the platform. This part of the ceremony was the peak, yet it took too much time to personally give the diplomas to each sen- ior. Ten seniors received Principal trophies for their outstanding efforts in academic studies. These ten seniors held a 5.0 aver- age their entire school years. As the names droaned on, seniors were becoming anxious for the end to become near. After Paul Zimmer received his diplo- ma, the seniors yelled and knew they had made it. The commotion finally resolved and the ceremony resumed to normal. Reverend Dennis Rutledge of Central Chris- tian Church said Benediction. The Alma Mater was sung by Sheri Burns and memo- ries poured from the verses. The seniors contently listened to the Granite City South band as they played the Corona- tion March.” Hats flew and firecrackers ex- ploded — the seniors officially graduated.

All the girls rushed home from school to prepare for an evening that they had all been waiting for throughout their high school years. The May Day nominations for Queen were chosen by the seniors during a class meeting. The voting took place in home- room and the elected Queen was an- nounced that same day. The First Attendants to the Queen, Chris Jenkins and Patricia Petty, and the Second Attendants, Linda Barunica and Patricia Petrunich, walked down the aisle to await the crowning of the Queen. On May 8, 198 1 Vickie Griffith, the retiring Homecom- ing Queen of 1980 turned the crown over to the new May Day Queen of 1981, Becki Price. Before the procession began, the girls shared many unforgotten memories of the past, but as the night grew older, the big celebrations began. The final6 of the evening ended with the Traditional May- pole Dance. Although the senior boys who served as ushers were greatly thanked, the most im- portant man of the evening was Tom Tra- cey, who acted as the Master of Ceremo- nies. Let ' s hope that the Traditional May Day Program will continue to be a big suc- cess in the years to follow.

In spring, many girls sign up to become one of the per- formers at May Day. They had practice at least one hour a day and had many afters- chool rehearsals in order to prepare for the senior ' s special day. Costumes were needed to make each skit unique; the performers fran- tically shopped to obtain the requirements. Mary Brandt stated, ' I enjoyed being in a skit because it was a special way of saying good- bye to the senior girls, instead of just sitting in the audience. The practice was worth it! Linda Hill and Charlotte Charbonnier have been active together in May Day for the past three years. Mrs. Hill stated. May Day is a tradition that has been alive for many years. It gives all the senior girls an opportunity to cher- ish such an experience. It’s hectic, but I enjoy it, stated Mrs. Char- bonnier. We are planning May Day all year round. To open the skit section of the program, S.L.A.C., directed by Mrs. Charbonnier per- formed ' Moving Right Along . They were ar- rayed with cardboard boxes that resembled boats, trucks, and cars. The 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th hour P.E. classes gave marvelous perfor- mances doing modern dance and aerobics. The pom pons, under Patti Sharp presented a routine to Does Your Mother Know . Southern Express Swing Choir, directed by Mary Bright, vivaciously danced and sang, that gained at- tention from the guests. Then the Flag Girls presented a routine to Rainbow Connec- tion . These skits represented the personality of each member in the club and May Day helped the organizations to show their spirit. Throughout most of the evening, the guys were not included in the ceremony and skits, besides helping as ushers. This time however, the senior guys proudly danced with the beautiful senior girls to Could I Have This Dance? The hoop skirts swooshed as the male leads directed the girls into a graceful turn and curtsy. To end the entertainment section, Marty Altenberger sang the theme song, Every Women in the World . Organizing May Day was not an easy task for the eager performers, but the job was well done and well worth it. Text by ANGELA GRUPAS Design by TODD GOODRICH MAY DAY 53 3 1.

Football and soccer players lined up with their escorts, dressed in red and black, to reach the bonfire, however, the sky was not kind to them and the bonfire did not exist this year. However, during the day, an all school assembly was called for 6th and 7th hours, to commerate all the homecoming activities and sports games. This was the first time such an assembly was held and the event was successful. School and class spirit was shown as the cheerleaders tried to boost the winning spirit into everyone in the bleachers. Throughout the entire homecoming week and weeks before that, clubs furiously began to organize floats for the annual parade. Speech and Theatre members sold buttons while Red Pepper members sold homecoming ribbons. All the clubs were trying to convey a message to the students — Stomp the Steel- ers and they all did a fantastic job. Traditional homecoming mums were sold by Student Council members and and were silk in order for the lucky girls who received the mums to be able to keep them as momentos. Play cast members worked deligently on the play in or- der to make it a success, since the teachers strike delayed school. On Wednesday night, the musical. Bye, Bye Birdie was presented and the coronation fol- lowed. The play and coronation was repeat- ed again Thursday night along with a soccer tournament called the Tournament of Cham- pions held at South. The schedule of events created a problem for three soccer players who were on the court and could not attend the Thursday night coronation. The soccer tournament lasted three days, with Vianney claiming the title, and South coming in second along with Reitz Memorial and Riverview Gar- dens. Signs were strung around the school, halls, on lockers, and in the gym and cafeteria. Spir- ited Red Pepper members attended a deco- ration meeting held on the Sunday before homecoming week and tried to get the rest of the students in the mood for homecoming and it ' s various activities. Friday was the day everyone was looking forward to and when it arrived, many seniors began to realize that this was their last home- coming of their high school years, and Friday represented the end. A pep rally for the foot- ball Warriors began the day and kept the stu- dents and players in a winning mood. Many students were dismissed early to prepare for the parade and the rest of the student body was dismissed at 2:30. There were many clubs in the parade with the Vocal Department win- ning 1st, Hockey cheerleaders receiving 2nd, and Red Peppers 3rd. These floats and the homecoming queen and escort were shown to the crowd at the football game. Granite City South played North which ended with a 38-8 score. The loss did not affect the fans because of the enthusiasm of homecoming The activities did not end after the football game for the cafeteria was rocking to the sounds of Jay Berry, and many students could be seen enjoying the music. Homecoming 1981 was a success and an experience for all that participated and spec- ulated. Text by ANGELA GRUP AS Design by TODD GOODRICH AN EVENT TO CELEBRATE Who will be the next Homecoming Queen and King? Being the popular question of the week among students, the mystery is not known until minutes before the coronation be- gins. The Homecoming Court attended by ten nominated couples consists of Mary Jenkins, Pam Stavely, Angie Griffith, Jane Lee, Kim Ev- ans, Mary Brandt, Dee Dee Durburow, Sandie Laster, Sue Burnett, Dave Paz, Dan Edwards, Ken McManus, Joe Schnefke, Mike Moore, Bob Lovins, Roger Smith, Brian Willis, and Mike Bun- jan. The newly elected Queen and King were Sandra Mendoza and Rich Moore. Mrs. Kambarian was in charge of the Home- coming coronation for the past five years. This year, however, Mrs. Klaus was in charge. Each year one staff member is elected to hold the ballot of the Homecoming winner and are sworn to secrecy. Not even their spouse is to be told. The Homecoming Court will surely be re- membered long throughout the years. Court nominee Mary Jenkins replied, I was surprised and honored. I was super excited and ner- vous, but it was great! We had so much fun getting all dressed up! Not only do the stu- dents enjoy the suspense, Wendy Kambarian summarized the occasion by saying, I par- ticularly enjoy the suspense, beauty, and ex- citement of Homecoming, Text and Design by TODD GOODRICH « I s 60 HOMECOMING 1 Sophomores show what they consider superior class spirit dur- ing the Homecoming assembly. 2.

It was pre- sented at South ' s auditorium on Wednesday and Thursday, October 7th and 8th. The play was a humorous show that kidded the rock-and- roll rage and its superstar Elvis Presley. The book was written by Michael Stewart and first starred on Broadway in 1960 with Dick Van Dyke. Conrad Birdie is the character who portrays Elvis Presley. If this singing sensation is drafted into the army, his agent Albert Peterson will lose his commissions and not have enough money to marry Rosfe Alvarez. Rose has a scheme to write a song called One Last Kiss which Birdie will sing to a teen-age admirer. If the song is a hit, they can live off the royalties. Kim Macafee is selected as the lucky girl. Throughout the story, Kim and her beau, and Rose and Albert drift apart. At the end of the show both couples are hand in hand again. The play was under the direction of Ronald Pennell, head of the Speech department. Mar- garet Pennell choreographed the dance num- bers while Mary Ann Bright was in charge of fhe musical direction. Not only were cast members hard at work, but Beverley Scroggins and her Stagecraft classes spent many hours constructing the set. Mr. Pennell said, I chose Bye Bye Birdie because last year the Homecoming play was a serious piece and I thought it would be more fun to have a light play as the Homecoming play. I was extremely pleased with how well the play came off with only 3 l z weeks of practice. The kids did a good job. Due to the delay of school, there was little time for learning lines and dance steps. Even with this obstacle, the play made a terrific impression on the viewers. Having a part in the play took hours of hard work and determination, but the students enjoyed being a part of the performance. Beth McNeilly, a senior, summed it up by saying, This was the first play I have ever participated in. I thought it was my last chance to be a part of Homecoming since it is my Senior year. Although there was a lot of time involved, the audience ' s response was reward enough. Text and Design by NANCY NOLAN HOMECOMING PLAY 65 1. Todd Goodrich. Gail Frazier, Bob Goode.

Organizing the Prom was a big responsibility for Student Council, which hosts the Prom every year. Renting of a hall large enough to accomodate all Juniors or Seniors who wished to attend was a task in itself. Hiring of caterers to handle the food and picking a band to keep the guests entertained through- out the evening were some of the larger jobs in preparing for the Prom. Many jobs that were extremely important are often overlooked such as, printing of the tickets, programs, ar- ranging for souvineers, and decorating the ballroom as well as acquiring workers to work at the Prom. After much planning, these jobs were accomplished with great success. Not only is much preparation done by stu- dent council in arranging for the Prom, but those attending find themselves busy finishing last minute details before they leave for the big evening. First, the girls rushed out to care- fully select a gown that was just perfect. Then many trips were made to make sure that the fit was just right. Shoes, purses, and jewelry were a few of the needed accessories to add that finishing touch to the gown. The boys also had much to do in preparing for that glorious evening. Renting of a tuxedo and shoes was the big event closely followed by cleaning the car, ordering flowers, and of course acquiring a pair of precious tickets. Much time and cooperation was spent in making the 1981 Senior Prom a grand event that will be cherished by all who participated. Text and Design by MARY JENKINS 1981 PROM 67 1.

Meridian Ballroom, Edwardsville Illinois. Lavish gowns and tuxedos filled the ballroom and the excitement grew as the Prom began. Toastmaster for the evening was Senior Pat Collins who toasted the good times. Student Council President, Susan Jefferies then welcomed all the guests to the Prom and wished them a memorable evening. Rich Miller, Senior Class President read the prophecy which was then fol- lowed by the invocation by Dave Edwards. A buffet dinner was served. After dinner the dancing began with the theme music First Time by Styx. Fast and slow music filled the air as friends and couples swayed to the music in any fashion they wished. At the end of the Prom, many couples did not stop there. Instead they went out to dine and dance some more. Friends and couples made the most of this special occassion and let nothing stop them from having an ex- cellent time. When asked about her Prom night, Angela Grupas responded, It was like a dream come true. The evening was great from start to finish. The girls and guys looked great all dressed up! Asked the same question, Gail Frazier replied, It was a special event. I thought I would feel out of place at a Senior Prom since I was only a Junior, but I didn ' t because I was with all my friends.” The Prom was definitely a success for all who attended and will be remembered by all as a fun-fulled evening of glory!

In Advanced Art, the students had the opportunity to gather all of the skills that they had aquired during the past three years in order to successfully complete the four major projects required . These projects, which dealt mainly with oil paints, consisted of a beginning still life, a copy of a masters painting, painting with a knife, and an impressionistic technique. When the students had finished all of these projects, they were free to work on anything they wished. Although there are few Michelangelo ' s in the world, Phyllis Weiss, the Advanced Art teacher feels that art talent is not rare. Many students have the talent that can carry them perhaps throughout the first few years of Art which would be Art 1-4. However, as the level of Art increases, the students able to handle it decreases. In fact, of all of the people who have art talent, perhaps 5 out of 30 at the most, have exceptional talent. Most of the students who had carried an Art class every semester throughout their high school years were serious about the class. They felt that this would help them in later years with college and future jobs. As Phyllis Weiss said I feel like we give them a very good background.” Most of the students in Advanced Art are working toward an art-oriented job in the future. However, before they can realize this goal, most of the students must attend an art college for at least two years in order to even be considered for a job. Even though it is rare to find people with exceptional art talent Senior Deanna Hayes who is preparing for an art-oriented job in the future, feels, as many other students do, that the talent that was in Advanced Art was outstanding.” Text and Design by KIM DEGONIA 7 1 .

Computer Principles aquaints students with all aspects of operating a comput- er. The student learns to use a data re- corder, better known as a key punch machine, so that the student may devel- op one way of supplying information to the computer. Students learn a program language RPG III which is Report Gener- ated Program in order to communicate with the computer and spends a major part of their time writing programs in the RPG III and operating the computer, an International Business Machine (IBM) 3. As a result the student can make wise ca- reer decisions regarding their future in computer related fields. The Computer Principle course is a wide open field. In some colleges the Computer Principles course is the most popular. In order to teach Computer Principles the teachers have to take a programming language stated Joseph Hanson. When asked what are you getting out of the course senior Julie Johnson replied The computer Principles course gives you the background and the basics of Computers. The course is also very inter- esting. Besides being a popular high school course it is becoming very popular in col- lege. The only requirement is that the student know how to type.

What exactly does being a senior entitle you to? Well, first your the head of the school with three classes below you to pick on. The funnest of course being the lowly freshman. The seniors also are honored by Homecoming court and Class traits. The girls are given a spe- cial honor with May Day. Prom is also a big event for the seniors, for they realize it is their last year. At banquets and assemblies much recognition and sympathy is given to the sen- iors because it will be their last. All in all being a senior was a very special position to hold in the high school environment. Text and Design by TRACI CONKOVICH and MARY JENKINS 1 .

They have participated in many ac- tivities sponsored by student council and var- ious other organizations who promoted school spirit. School spirit is a very important part in making high school years fun and successful. It is also important in making all the activities possible. Because of the enthusiasm of the Warriors, Granite City South offered many activities. Some of these included the prom, tacky day, Holloween contests, dances, pep rallies, and the blood drive. At many of the sporting events, school colors, red and black could be seen all through the crowd. Special cheers are also done as the students not only proved their school spirit as an individual, but also as a class during class yells. The Warrior students were especially happy and spirited when their favorite team won and they could let their true spirit shine!

They did this by their ap- parel. Going school shopping at the beginning of August was a necessity for some. Either putting away winter lay-a-ways, or getting the left over summer bargains helped students get pre- pared for the on coming school year. Fads were popular among many students. It usually appeared as though the seniors started the fads, while the freshman followed them, wanting to be just like the seniors. As the year progressed, seniors were looking forward to graduation, and were not as inter- ested in impressing people. The second semes- ter had its faded blue jeans, t-shirts, and sneak- ers for everyone.

In spite of the mass confusion of seniors entering and exiting the large area, it was great for all seniors to get together in one large group. It wasn ' t held every week or sometimes even every month, but only when there were administrative reasons which made the meetings necessary. These meetings includ- ed passing out college information, prom themes, voting on Homecoming queen and king, senior announcements, and other items of importance. Although most of the meeting went along smoothly, there were some students who felt the seniors ' behavior had room for a great deal of improvement. Sometimes information had to be repeated twice because of a few seniors talking and making it difficult for the others to hear. Aside from all that, the meetings were a great way for the seniors to conglomerate in one big room to learn and discuss senior busi- ness and senior happenings.

The struggle to “make it” through high school was nearly at its close. As seniors, everyone made plans for col- lege, jobs, marriage, etc. This left them with a sense of apprehension. They were leaving behind friendships that were begun as frightened freshmen huddled together in awe of the high school environment. Also, they must leave the teachers and classrooms which became so familiar to them. This was an abrupt change of scene for some of the senior members. This change, however, was something they had to ac- cept. They had to accept the sense of good-bye. Most of them did — with a sense of confidence given to them by their high school teachers and high school years at GCHS-S.

On dates they dined at local restaurants, saw the latest movies, or attended dances and other activities sponsored by various clubs and organizations at Granite City South. Some students were asked exactly how they liked to spend their nights and a few replies were, “We have a great time especially when we get wild and crazy!” said Tom Miller. Jim Petty commented that, “I love the weekends!” Whatever the activity or event there was one thing they all had in common: they all made the most of their “southern nights.” Text and Design by TRACI CONKOVICH and MARY JENKINS 1 .

She stayed with four different host families for approximately two and a half months at a time. All four families and her counsler met her at the airport when she arrived in the country. The Australians ' ideas of America is having large cities and Hollywood. They say that they are not impressed with Hollywood and it gives our country a bad name. But Carole had her family send pictures of various country areas and National Parks to show them otherwise. Carole said that she got to see much of the country side and she loved it. Carole went to an all girls school where she was required to wear a uniform. She took Ge- ography, Biology, Math, English, and French. Carol commented, My classes in Australia were so much easier than they were at home.” With all the fun that she had, she missed being with her friends and family.

Parents are with each one of us when we say our first words and take our first steps. When- ever anyone has a problem or cannot figure some- thing out, our mother or father will be the first one to offer their help and support. During our high school years, parents rearrange their schedules to see that everything is done the way we like it. If a student is involved in some kind of athletics and needs to buy some equipment, who do we look to for the money? Our parents. During the day of a big game, mothers have much plan- ning to do, such as making sure that their daughter or son ' s uniform is clean and ready to wear. She also has to figure out how she is going to feed her family when each one of them comes home at a different time. Then there are the loyal parents who attend their child ' s event. Some of them sit in the stands yelling and screaming the team to victory. Not many of the athletes realize all the time and effort that our parents put into our lives. Th ey try to do the best they can to make our lives happy. What would we possibly do without them? Text and Design by TRACI CONKOVICH and MARY JENKINS 1.

Of course, it shouldn ' t be surprising that time flew — what with all that we managed to do. But still, it seemed that not too long ago we were just mere freshmen, awed and some- times amused by the happenings at South. Then came our sophomore year. We grew up a little this year and we were no longer at the bottom. As juniors we thought we were tops, and anticipated what it would be like to be a senior. Nothing could beat that year. But it did. The senior year was the best. So much to do, so much to talk about, and so much fun. We certainly didn ' t waste any time. We saw other seniors at football games, and at McDonald ' s afterwards. Not all of our time was spent eating or just having fun. Some- times being a senior was just plain hard work. One such time was writing the term paper and themes for senior composition. Then almost before we knew it, we heard Mr. Dumont over the P.A. system wishing all of us a Happy Thanksgiving. Soon after that, it was ea rly Christmas shopping and a few weeks later, we saw doors decorated for Christmas time. There were concerts to go to and presents to wrap. Shortly after our Christmas holiday, the first semester end- ed. Courses changed and everyone sparked up for a few months. Then time began to drag again. Soon we were saved by the Easter vacation. From spring vacation came June and it was downhill all the way.

The rooms and halls were full of displays, teachers, parents, administrators and students. The evening began at seven-thirty with the parent- teacher visits. At eight-thirty Principal James Dumont welcomed the visitors and introduced the guest speak- ers. Displays of students work filled art rooms, while com- puter demonstrations were given in the business and mathematics areas. Jostens offered free refreshments to everyone while displaying their class rings. The night ended with evaluation sheets being distrib- uted to the visitors. They answered questions concern- ing their views of the importance of the open house.

I did not know I could be thanked so much, for I have enjoyed teaching and never thought of it as work. commented Ms. Mitchell. The invocation was stated by Theresa Gwas- dac followed with a speech from Julie DeRuntz. A corsage was presented to Ms. Mitchell, along with a plaque, as a rememberance of 30 years of dedication. There were still 30 field hockey teams in the St. Louis area, but Edwardsville was the only school on the lllinios side. The program had to be resolved because of a distance problem; playing lllinios schools such as Spring- field, remarked Ms. Mitchell.

Excitement rules the air. Anxious faces pass each other in the halls waiting for the last bell for the year to ring. Students talk among themselves about their plans for the summer. Some will go on vacations to exciting places, others will spend their time at their favorite hang- outs. Many will get summer jobs. And the seniors will try to make this the best summer before they enter college or the working world. For seniors this is a special day for it is their last day of high school. Some crys are heard echoing down the halls as the Seniors realize they are going to go their seper- ate ways. Yet, they are happy to await for what is in store for them in the future.

To intro- duce the program, twelve girls danced to punk rock music. After the punk rountine was com- pleted, the four teams plus the faculty com- peted in various races. Although victory went to the faculty and not the Seniors, the class had very much spirit and showed an overall win. The Seniors that participated and did a super job were Scott Greathouse, Jim Petty, Tom Kowalski, Lydia King, Dee Dee Durborow and Pam Stavely. This year a group of brave guys dressed up as cheerleaders and Scott Abbott was one of the courageous. I never realized cheerleaders had to work so hard,” he said.

Students and their families should feel proud since accreditation gives assurance that the school meets those minimal yet rigorous condi- tions. Dr. John S. Kemp, NCA State Director at the University of lllinios congratulated South High on its continued accreditation. The school has been a member of the North Central Associ- ation since 1907,” he added. A total of 625 schools are accredited in Illinois. Seniors Gail Poole and Pam Stavely remarked, It ' s nice to know we ' re accredited for so long. The North Central Association is the largest of the country ' s regional accrediting agencies. This agency evaluates and accredits school that recognize their strengths and limitations, and have programs to help meet the needs of today ' s students. James Dumont, principal, commented, Be- ing accreditated for 75 years is an example of our own standards and our competency to ad- just over a period of years.

In the first day the boys were given lovely lady buttons which they display on their shirts. The object of the contest was for the student not to talk to the member of the opposite sex for the entire day. If by some unlucky chance someone speaks to the opposite sex, they were required to surrender their pin to them. The girl with the most buttons at the end of the day was de- clared lovely lady. On the second day the girls received the macho man buttons, and the boys attempted to persuade the girls to talk. The winner became the macho man. These two days were composed of fun and craziness. Most student usually lost their buttons in the early hours of the day ending their role in the contest. The participants were known to do almost anything to make the opposite sex talk.

It seems as if this is a continuous cycle from first grade to college. As soon as the freshmen enter the school, the struggle begins. Some people really enjoy for an older classmen to bother them because they real- ize that they are being noticed by a Senior. It can let a freshman show that he has older friends. Many times people try to show off and say that they are going to beat a freshmen up, but the funny thing about it is the freshmen can be much stronger and taller. The greatest part of a high school cycle is being a senior. The seniors are on top and they do most of the ruling of the school. Now it is their turn to take freshmen and put them in lockers upside down. Many people of the school look up to the seniors and some even try to follow them as to what they should do. Now that the seniors are on top, the cycle will start over since they will be freshmen in college or at the bottom in the job market.

This gave the students a feeling of maturity. The students now realized that they were ready for graduation. This was a long-awaited moment. A representative from Josten ' s helped them in measuring for head size and length. This gave them a pre-graduation feeling, and a special feeling now because they had almost reached the peak of their school years. This year, as it was last year, the seniors were able to keep their caps and also their gowns. The color for girls was red and boys wore black. The tassels were red and black. Students with a 4.0 average or better were able to purchase a yellow tassel to signify they were among the honor students at South.

It was almost as good as the final bell. Dispite all those cafeteria jokes, the food was pretty good. Where else could you get a gold- en order of hot crisp fries right out of the frier for 40c? Every student used the lunch hour for some- thing different. Many students chose to go to the cafeteria to eat, while others just stood outside talking and watching girls or guys walk by. Some studied for tests, while others decid- ed to nap or just stroll around. Not everyone, however, stayed at school. Some walked to near-by places to snack of goodies. Others walked to a quiet place to consume what was in their brown bag that mommie made for them. All in all, lunch was (and still is) a great time in the day.

In addition to recooperating from the previous three years, the seniors were chal- lenged with a rigorous curriculum. There was English. Two more semesters were only required for graduation, but these two would be the toughest. There was the English Literature course, and Senior Composition, theme writing and more theme writing. The P. E. classes were a little better. At least the seniors were able to select what they wanted to take before the juniors, sophomores, or freshmen. The last two semesters were definitely the toughest, but they were also the best and the happiest for most senior students at South. Text and Design by MARY JENKINS and TRACI CONKOVICH 1.

It was the time all the Ethnic Literature students would get a real taste of what ethnic” was all about. On December 13, the annual ethnic banquet was held at South in the cafeteria . A colorful array of good ethnic dishes were spread all over the tables in a beautiful display. Students who attended were asked to bring an ethnic dish, so there was plenty of food to go around again and again. Some of the delicious smorgasbord included lasagna. Crab Rangoon, rice pilaf, pita, and raisin bread. The persons responsible for this glorious affair were Helen Veloff and Dorothy Votoupal, sub- stitute for Wendy Kambarian. It was their re- sponsibility to get all the arrangements made and decide on the types of entertainment for the evening. Some of the entertainment includ- ed Polish dances performed by the SIU-E East- ern European Dance Troupe.

VICA programs emphasized respect for the dignity of work, high standards in trade ethnics, workmanship, scholarship and safety. The club also helped to unite in a com- mon bond all students enrolled in trade, industri- al, technical and health occupations. VICA began at a Constitutional Convention in Nashville, Tennessee as an organization for high school students. The Illinois Association of VICA is a charter member of the National Orga- nization founded in 1965. Involving others in the community, mainly speakers from labor and management, was of great importance. Relating with industry was a vital factor for members preparing for the working world. National recognition was given for achieve- ment in competitive activities. The members could compete in their area, on a national and state level.

The class consisted of both lab and lecture days. The acceler- ated classes were taught by R. William Rotter, with Kenneth Gattung and David McClain teaching the regular classes. The class es consisted mainly of Juniors, but there were a few energetic Sopho- mores who participated also. A few Sen- iors took the course this year because of their busy schedule the years before. Most of the students agreed that even though the class had its rough spots it was still fun. The favorite part of the class were lab days. When Tom Stegemeier, a Junior, was asked why he took the class, he said, IO like science and I am college preparatory. Tom remarked that he en- joyed his class because Mr. Gattung got his point across in a funny way that made it interesting. When in the classroom, the students took notes and worked problems relat- ing to their labs. They were also required to learn the valences and abbreviations of the elements. Experiment days were also a part of the schedule. These were the days that most students enjoyed b e- cause they were able to work with chemicals, electronic balances, and centrifuges. A required portion of the course was to identify two out of four unknowns. Throughout the year, the stu- dents worked toward learning proce- dures to determine these chemicals. Mr. Rotter said, “I have been teaching the same class for eighteen years and I still haven ' t gotten tired of it because there are always different personalities and faces. He tried to teach the accel- erated classes somewhat like a college course but kept it so high school kids could handle it. The students were required to learn certain rules and regulations about the lab so accidents would be prevented. They were required to wear goggles and aprons while in the lab. In the eighteen years of Mr. Rotter ' s teaching, no one has ever been seriously injured.

To prepare themselves for their profession, they enrolled in the Vocational Child Care program offered here at South. One re- quirement for the class was to have taken the Beginning Child Care class in which stu- dents learned the behavior of different age groups and how to deal with them. There were three teachers involved with this course — Catherine Riebold, Jean Nel- son, and Barbara Coleman shared the du- ties required to teach the class. Mrs. Nelson supervised the students who worked with the children up to two years old. Mrs. Rie- bold oversaw the class containing the three to four year olds, while Mrs. Coleman was in charge of working with the mothers. The schedule for the week consisted of two benefitial portions. Mondays and Fri- days were set aside for planning days when they discussed problems that arose and planned the activities for the upcom- ing week. On the remaining days, the chil- dren and mothers came to class. The two hours the children were at school were oc- cupied by playing, learning, and snacking. During this time, Mrs. Coleman would dis- cuss problems with mothers and try to ad- vise them on how to handle certain situa- tions that may arise. Lori Allen, a junior enrolled in the course, said, I believe this class will help me to bet- ter understand children and cope with the everyday situations that arise.” Text and Design by NANCY NOLAN 120 VOCATIONAL CHILD CARE 6 1 .

The struggle to make it through high school was nearing its close. Approaching the senior year, a junior was making plans for college and what lies beyond. There was also a certain apprehension. He was leav- ing behind friendships that were begun as a frightened freshman huddled together in awe of their environment. He must also leave the teachers and classrooms which had become such a familiar sight. But this departure was a worthwhile gesture. South prepared him for such an abrupt change of scene. It gave him the confidence to ac- cept what must be in the future.

The roar of students flashed into the halls as the students were passing to their next class. Did you hear about,”, She said that? , What happened to?” I can ' t believe it.” These were many of the things you heard in the hall between classes. Everyone getting all of the new information and passing on the old. This is what went on during the seven minutes you were aloud between classes. Hall talk, everyone did it because no one wanted to be left out. Everyone tried to keep up with the latest gossip and passed it on. This is what hall talk was all about, being with your friends and sharing some laughs. Everyone enjoyed the time they had be- tween classes even if it was just to say hello to some one. These few minutes broke the monotony of the day. It allowed you to relax and have a good time. What if you weren ' t aloud to talk in the halls. How would you have told your best friend about that cute boy who smiled at you? Everyone looks forward to going in the halls to share their news of the day.

The amount charged is twelve dollars for the school year. This is the lowest price in the area. Some schools charge up to thirty dollars per year and others are making students purchase the books that are used in class. Some complaints have been made by parents who have several children in school. I know this puts an extra burden on parents, says Mr. Allen Kennerly, but it wouldn ' t be right if we didn ' t charge every- one. Last year you were allowed to pay six dollars at the beginning of the year and another six dollars at the end of the first semeste r. This was a long process and took twice the amount of work. This year you were required to pay the full amount at one time.

Being on top, after your thirteen year climb would make anyone full of excitement. Just the thought of graduation is enough to make juniors struggle through their history, chemistry, and health classes. In the elev- enth year of high school, a student should start planning and preparing for college, such as taking an ACT test. Other students maybe taking classes to prepare them for work right after high school. Many people felt that the classes were alot harder their junior year, than any other year. Chuck York comments, I wish I could believe the teachers were just craming everything in this year.” They also have good times and memories from their past years. Such as, follies, soccer games, football games, weekends and just having a good time with their friends.

It rang! The class rushed out of the room. You rushed out to talk to your friends. You knew you didn ' t have much time. Sud- denly you realized the group you were standing with grew smaller. You took off down the hall in a mad dash. Instead of wanting the clock to speed up, you wished the time would have stopped com- pletely. “When will it ring? you think to yourself. Your heart pounds nervously. When you were only a few feet from the door of your class, the bell rang. You were caught this time, but you told yourself it would never happen again. Once again you found yourself waiting impatiently for the bell to ring only this time you happened to be in lunch, standing outside on the stairs in 20 degree temperatures. Sometimes you felt as if the bell had a mind of its own-delibertly trying to keep you out in the cold. “Why doesn ' t it ring? you wondered. It never had seemed that long before. Right before you felt as if you had lost all Reeling in your body, the bell rang.

All of a sudden your team scored and the fans were going crazy, full of excitment and joy. There are many people who have a favorite team and go to their games to cheer them on to a victory. These people are called fans. The fans at South High School cheered their teams on to many victories, as in soccer, wrestling, volleyball and other sports. The people at South were glad to have winning teams to cheer for and the teams were proud to have fans to support them. School spirit was also an impor- tant role. Large crowds represented the amount of spirit along with school colors, pep rallies and cheers. School spirit also meant alot to the players. It gave them large crowds to perform in front of and gave them motivation and determination to win. What would it have been like without the fans? A game in process and your team did something rewarding, but no one was around to cheer them on. Also, when a team didn ' t do well, the fans were always around. Most of all you couldn ' t have had fans with- out the team but you couldn ' t have had an enthusiastic team without the fans.

You no longer see girls in their poodle skirts wearing their sweet- hearts class ring on his high school sweaters; nor do they meet at the nearest ice cream parlor to share a malt with two straws. In the 60 ' s, the Friday night scene was at the roar- ing high school hangout where couples were dancing to some real rock and roll. Throughout the years, dating has been based merely on the male asking the female out for a pizza or a movie. Many have said that those were the good old days, but times have changed. Now there isn ' t anything un- usual for a girl to call a boy first, or even ask him for a date. Junior, Fritz Brewer gave his opinion on the topic, I wouldn ' t mind at all. In fact, I would rather a girl call me first. At least you would know you got them where you want. Now days womens rights are equal so what ' s the difference? Although every girl has their own opinions, most girls feel free calling guys, whether it would be on a personal bases or just a friend- ly chat. Missy Callis, junior, says, of course I ' d rather have the guy call me first, but if that ' s what he wants he wants you to do, sure I ' d call him. Now the question is, should the girl still have to pay if she asked him out for the date? Tony Segobiano, junior, states, I wouldn ' t exactly get mad about them payin, but I wouldn ' t want them to. Looking back through the years, you can see there have been many changes in dat- ing. But dating was, and still is, the best past time.

There were exciting times, hap- py and sad times and changing times. Many of the upper classmen had good times by picking on the lower classmen. Some of their tricks were to tell the freshmen about the elevators to the third floor and about the swimming pool above the auditorium. Exciting times came around especially when South ' s athletic teams had their games. Other things that put excitment into the routine days were the assemblies and pep rallies. These events gave the students a break from their everyday happenings. Students were often heard talking about their daily routine and how things didn ' t change. Most of them didn ' t realize how many changes took place from day to day. The greatest change was the people and enviroment around them. People change from their freshmen year to their senior year. Even the styles of clothes and surroundings change. There were always good days and bad days, but your high school years will be your best years.

But for many going to school in the summer is an easy way to get ahead in credits as well as to make up lost credits. Many students feel it is easier than the regular school year and gives them a chance for one more elective. Although many students would go to summer school they find they cannot due to the cost. The cost was $37.50 per class, each class was taught for two hours. The reason for the high cost was due to the lack of funds prevented the state from covering the cost for summer education. The $37.50 fee was usea for paying the teachers. For teachers it is harder for they have to teach in six weeks what is normally taught in a semester stated English teacher Mary Perdue-Tapp. For many teachers they don ' t mind the extra money and since summer school is only taught two to four hours a day, they have the rest of the day free. For Home Economics Teacher Cathy Reibold, It is the only time I can teach Consumer Home Man- agement. It ' s also nicer because there is not any study halls or lunch hours. Although many teachers like teaching summer school and like the extra money there are still a few who would rather not. Many teachers would like to go on vacations or some that signed up to teach just did not get picked. I have a little boy and wanted to spend time with him during the sum- mer, stated Andrea Brodzinski, Home Econom- ics Teacher. The teachers from both South and North that wish to teach summer school signed up and were picked by seniority. The classes taught were decided by the amount of students that signed up for a particular class. Having summer school taught at both South and North enabled the students to take more of the classes they wish. Among the classes taught were American Literature, Oral Communications, Ethnic World Literature, Freshman Literature, Images of Man, and Senior Composition in the English Depart- ment. In the Science Department Physical and Life Science were taught. Civics and American History were taught in the Social Studies De- partment. Art was also taught during summer school. Twelve teachers from South participat- ed in the summer education program.

Most of them were anxious to see their old friends and meet new ones. For some, it was painful, after returning from the wilderness of Colorado or the beaches of Florida. It was hard for them to get adjusted. New activities were lined up to keep them busy and occupied, such as Homecoming, soccer , football games and dances. As school began, so did the daily routine of classroom work. School always seemed to have its ups and downs. Some day were filled with excitement while others were just typical . Half way through the fall semester, students adjusted to life at South. Classes, homework, and tests all became part of their days. The days off of school, however, were greatly appreciated. This gave them extra time to be with their friends and have fun. Text and Design by DANA WOOD 140 JUNIORS 1 Bill Mullen stands outside in the cold, waiting for the bell to ring 2.

Times have changed. This year the city in- stalled stoplights for the sole purpose of easy exiting for Coolidge Jr. High and a new en- trance for South. Although there is no longer and officer to direct traffic, there still remains problems. While the mad rush to go home after school begins, many students violate the four Do Not Enter” signs. For the people that walk, the activated sto- plights come into use by simply pushing a but- ton. Most of the students, however, agree that the new stoplights enable the students to an easier and faster route to enter the parking lot. Text and Design by DANA WOOD 142 JUNIORS 1.

Those were the grade school days. But what happened? After you got a little older it really didn ' t seem to matter, boys and girls were pretty neat. Mo st girls found out you wouldn ' t get sick if a boy looked at them and the boys found out that girls weren ' t so bad to hang around with after all. Many students had groups that they hung around with in high school. Some of them were all boys, some were all girls and some were boys and girls. Guys and gals liked to get together and have parties or just go places togeth- er. Some of them would go on dates while others would just go as friends. Many students went to the show, athletic and other school events, parties and concerts. Going in groups made it fun and more exciting. It also brought up many interesting conversations.

Students who participated in Earth Science at G.C.H.S. South learned how to arrange facts to come to a conclusion. Earth Science was taught by Miss Beverly Frazier. Miss Frazier said, I enjoy teaching Earth Science, and since I am the only one teaching the subject, I can pick and choose what I like, and what the students like.” She continued, In Earth Science I, the students like to study rocks and minerals, tepographic maps, glaciers, and a little bit about the ground and running water, volcanoes, earthquakes, and weathering. In Earth Science II, we get into learning astronomy and meter- ology.” This year, the Earth Science II classes have a new toy”. Its name is the Wea ther Watch machine. It is a study center that receives the National Oceanographic and Atmo- spheric Administration weather. It allows the students to check their own forecast, and make local predictions. Miss Frazier commented, Most people do not consider it a Science”. The students, how- ever, find out that it is not all that easy.” Text and Design by CHRIS PETERSON EARTH SCIENCE 147 Do you know who designed the chair you are sitting in or the cabinet in your homeroom? It could have been a draft- ing student that graduated from one of the drafting programs at South. Drafting is a profession that goes back to ancient times. After all, someone had to design the pyrimids of Egypt, the May- flower, and the Empire State Building. The Applied Arts courses offered at South prepare a student for a job right out of high school, or at least ready him for a college program in one of the many fields. Most students found the courses to be beneficial. Phil Klutz commented, I have really learned a lot in drafting so far, and I plan to be a draftsmen after graduating. Through these courses, students learned more than just a trade. They learned how to congenially cooperate with each other and to work together.

They no longer had to tolerate the tortures of being a lowly freshman. After experiencing a year at Gran- ite South, teachers, hallways, and room numbers were all familar to the sophomore; and now, they had the chance to direct the freshman around the campus. The more seniority a student gains at high school, special privileges follow. This type of arrangement coincides with the military on a smaller scale. The sophomores still look up to those of high authority, the upper classmen, but still treasure the feeling of not being last on the totem pole. Sophomores have the privilege of more electives in class chosing, and have different P.E. classes to chose from. The sophomores had worked hard and long to reach the position of third rank and they intend to gain more respect as they enter into another chal- lenging grade — 11th Text and Design by ANGELA GRUPAS SOPHOMORES 151 Don Cathey Andrew Causey Craig Cavins Larry Chamness Cheryl Champion Jihoon Chang Paula Chronister Dana Churovich Evette Clark Rosa Clark James Clayton Darin Clements Phil Clutts Pam Coad Donna Coakley Dan Cochran Matt Coffey Denny Cohen Cassie Lynn Conner Joe Connor Tinette Cook Tammy Cope Sim Cormier Judy Cotner Lisa Coury Bonita Cousart Jeffery Cox Nathan Crane Robert Crawford Vicky Creek Jeff Crisal Denise Darnell 1.

Being sixteen for a guy seemed to be more important since he can drive around and go girl looking . This was also the case for the female sex as long as they went guy looking . Sophomore Mike Sikora wanted to turn sixteen so he could drive around. I am not really interested in car dat- ing-not right now anyway. Sixteen is also a special time for the sopho- more girl too. Angie Owens, sophomore said, Sixteen is special to me, mostly because I will hopefully get a car. Many parents do not allow their daughters to date until they reach the legal age of 16. I am not allowed to date until I reach sixteen, so I am eagerly looking forward for my birthday! , stated Lisa Beswick, sophomore. Sometimes the reason for turning 16 is dating, getting a car, or the ability to drive. To some, it ' s just not important. No big deal to me , replied sopho- more Shirly Siler. I have been dating already and driving isn ' t that important to me . Sixteen is a stepping stone to more and bet- ter things. 21 is a lot better than just being 16 , replied Bob Dietrich, sophomore. Turning sixteen also has many drawbacks and added responsibility. Driving a car filled with elated sophomores on a Friday night might sound like fun, but it can end in a nightmare if the new driver does not know the responsibility. Still, even after stating the handicaps of being sixteen, almost every sophomore was looking forward to the chance of saying yes, I am finally 16 years old.

One of the causes for the the extended time is the stairs; they are located everywhere. Even to enter the school, the students have to walk those treterous stairs. Students trample up and down the stairs in order to reach their prospective classes. Somehow they can never be avoided. Causalities have been caused due to the in-between class rush. On a typical school day, you can see injured classmates, with their crutches, desparately trying to conquer the stairs. Sophomore Debbie Green stated, I hate the stairs since I usually have to rush to class and then end up late. I avoid them as much as possible! A group of juniors remarked, “It is hard to walk the stairs espe- cially wearing heels. Also, the traffic is two-way, which usually results in confusion and tired legs. The stairs aren ' t liked by the teachers either. They have to travel the same paths as the students and therefore obtain the same attitudes. Willis Whitfield, Science teacher, remarked, “I depend on the stairs to get my exercise, although I hate the long commute between classes. Here at Granite City South, the stairs are used for various “different purposes. Before the homeroom bell rings, students can be seen sitting, standing, or even doing their homework on the stairs. If there was a poll taken at Granite City South, one could probably expect the students would much more enjoy a school that consisted of only one level or contained elevators.

RIPOFF Without a doubt, everyone attending Gran- ite City High South will have a major in P. E., that ' s right, the required class of P. E. For many students, P. E. meant putting on a suit getting exhausted and feeling sloppy the entire day. Others like P. E. and its ever changing varied ciriculum. The freshman had the worst time when it came to P.E., since they were required to take a certain course. Don Deterding, newly ac- quired P. E. head, stated, We require freshman to take a variety of courses to gain a funda- mental knowledge of various sports. Another group of students had a rough time in their P. E. classes — the sophomores. The sophomores were able to chose their courses, however, seniors and juniors had priority over them. I still did not get the class I wanted. The sophomores just get the leftovers. remarked sophomore Karen Hunt. This system had been operating for only a few years and the faculty felt that the program ran smoothly with a minimum amount of com- plaints. Sure the underclassmen will complain, but wait until they are seniors stated a con- cerned senior.

PLEASE Keeping track of almost 2000 students was not an easy task for officials at Granite City South, so therefore a system of identification was needed — I. D. ' s. During ones freshman and junior years, I. D. pictures are taken by Mr. Robert Gagliano ' s students and are updated during the sophomore and senior years. During the rush of the beginning of school, students line up above the gym and eagerly pose for a Polaroid snapshot that is later encased in a plastic card. For all the years that I attended South, I only used my I. D. card about twice , remarked Traci Conkovich. Robert Gagliano, described the I. D. program as a good experience for the students involved in process- ing the pictures. They develop prevocational skills, learn responsibility and the ability to socialize with other stu- dents. Many students like getting their I. D. pictures taken only if they turn out, however, other students dislike getting their pictures taken again and again.

The competition was rough, as always, due to the excellent performance of each girl. Here at Granite City South, each potential cheerleader had to try out again and again for each sport, and believe it or not, the process does not get any easier. Individual cheers had to be learned along with basic stunts, school song, jumps and a group cheer; which added up to alot of hard work. At try-outs, I felt very self- conscious and embarrassed I was anxious to know the re- sults, remarked senior cheerleader Nancy Nolan. After being chosen as a Warrior Cheerleader, the fun and work never ended. The newly chosen cheerleaders had a responsibility to the crowd, to lead cheers, and a responsibil- ity to the team, as supporters. Throughout the years. South ' s cheerleaders have maintained their excellence gloriously and will continue to do so in the future.

Whether it be during a class, football game, or just walking in the hall, you can always count on a sophomore to look happy. Everyone loves a smile and nobody smiles like a sophomore. With a smile on one ' s face, what could possibly go wrong? Just by smiling to a person who seems depressed, can bring a frown into a full bloomed smile from ear to ear. Sophomore Rhonda Odell stated, It seems when guys are around my smile is around too. There are many reasons why a sophomore smiles. What kind of problems does a 15 year old possess? The sophomore year is a time to make friends, have fun and think about growing up and becoming a senior. Sure, there are responsibilities, but for some the weight of such concerns, do not shrink the smile of a sophomore. ”1 am always smiling because I am not a freshman anymore and can look forward to becoming a senior. , replied sophomore Eric Gunderson. For some sophomores, no one has to tell them to say cheese , for a dimpled smile is constantly on their faces; while others, find only certain special times to show their pearls. When I am in a good mood, I smile. Something as silly as falling up the stairs can make me laugh, remarked sophomore Cindy Castile. A smile is usually accompanied by fun and good times. Their enthusiam won them many friends and helped them make their sophomore year, a worth while one.

A school ring is more than just a piece of jewerly. It is a con- stant reminder of the students high school years— both good and bad— and it marks the beginning of a new life. Ordering your class ring wasn ' t as easy as some may think. Many high pressure salesmen show the sophomore dozens of styles and in- scriptions to choose from — enough to leave the buyer confused. The price is another item that concerns many future ring buyers, espe- cially their money-conscious parents. Due to the increase in the price of gold and labor, rings have become a costly investment. Many soph- omores were asked about the price of school rings and when they would like to purchase one. Numerous students had the same opinion. Sophomores Debbi Newman and Beth Hein want to buy their class ring their sophomore year. Since I am paying for the ring, I would like to wear it as long as possible.” , stated Beth Hein. A majority of interested sophomores said they didn ' t care what the price of the ring is because their parents would pay the bill any- way. Several students purchase class rings in order to carry on a family tradition. Others buy class rings because their friends, parents and rela- tives influence them. There are some that feel class rings are a waste of money, and their attitude was quite understandable. Class rings are just not for everyone. Sophomore Jennifer Robinson stated, I ' m not that concerned about buying a class ring, mostly because I am not interested in wearing jewerly.” Whether you chose a smooth stone or a fac- eted stone, gold tone or silver, a diamond or a ruby, or both, you will cherish every moment you wear your high school class ring.

A swim team was formed consisting of six involved girls. They worked from September to November at the Tri-City Y.M.C.A. pool. The interest became aroused when several parents organized the team that was coached by Karen Smith. Since the team did not compete against rival schools and just participated in the district meet, the team was unable to qualify in the district team award. If they could, they would have received 7th place out of sixteen teams. The girls on the team have been a family unit for many years on various swim teams. Freshman Lisa Baldwin stated, All of us have been together for so long, I hope the program goes on and on. I am happy we beat North. At the district meet that was held in Springfield on November 14, the 200 yard medley relay team captured third place. The team is growing, for next year will bring more interested and enthusiastic swimmers to swim the team on to victory.

As sophomores and juniors approached the age of sixteen, the job market was flooded with anxious new employees, ready to conquer a new experience — a job. Sopho- more Vicki Smith stated, I want a job desparetly so I can earn enough money for a car. I just have to wait until I turn sixteen.” Maintaining a job and a school career was not an easy task for some. Having to close the store, long hours, and tedious tasks exsist for all the new workers, along with book reviews, term papers, and tests, proved to be hard work. Karen Moore, sophomore, stated, I would like to have a job during the summer months, but not during the busy school year.” Jobs are not that easy to come by these days. Janet Shelely, junior, remarked, I ' ll take a job anywhere they will accept me. I definitely plan on working and going to school.” There are many odd jobs available for the less than part time employee. Sophomore Lisa Payne replied, I have been working at a summer camp in Missouri since I was fifteen years old and I can- not wait until I can work again. I enjoy meeting new people and the money is all right too.” Jobs provide excellent experience for those who are interested in a career or even attending college. Sophomores and juniors that have jobs now, will be grateful later when they move into more authority related positions due to seniorty or experience. I will probably work my way through college to help with the costs and gain exper- ience. I enjoyed working with young boys at a camp,” remarked Junior, Bruce Holt. Think about getting involved in jobs, activities in school, or volunteer work, because one of these days, you might be getting paid for writing one of these stories.

You have overcome what is consid- ered by many to be one of the roughest classes required of the freshmen. The diffi- culty in the class begins in many of the grade schools, even though they are usu- sally unaware of it. Many of these schools don ' t put enough emphasis on the basics of grammar and writing. Because of this, the freshmen were hit with an eye opener during their first year of high school. The lack of preparation in previous schools also produces a high rate of failures in Freshmen Composition. Recently, however, the teachers realiz- ing the unawareness of the incoming fresh- men, decided to send a letter to the fresh- men and their parents at the beginning of the year, explaining what is expected of the students in order to pass the class. Some of the requirements include bringing a pen, pencil, paper, and their books to class every day and writing a minimum of twelve themes — three of which are book reports. Since this was the last composition class required of the freshmen until their senior year, they tried to understand and remem- ber everything that was discussed. Even though this was a difficult task, it does pay off. The writing skills learned in Freshmen Composition must be applied to every English class taken. When asked about the writing skills that must be learned, Helen Kuenstler simply replied, It is a very useful tool.” Text and Design by KIM DEGONIA FRESHMEN COMPOSITION 171 1.

This includes terms, laws, and basic wiring knowledge. John Headrick taught the class to any girl or boy interested in learn- ing where electricity comes from, how it works, and what it does. Mr. Headrick stated, I would like to defeat the lack of knowledge the students have of basic electricity.” The activities and skills done in class consist of learn- ing the color codes, reading meters, building modules, basic wiring and performing experiments. Many of the students continue their studies in elec- tricity to further their knowledge for later use, while others stop with basic electricity. Courses in electricity at South attempted to teach the students how basic electricity works. In addition to learning wiring techniques, the students were taught how to apply these techniques to daily living and a practical way.

They entered unsure and frightened; but were also always eager to become a part of the GCHS-South tradition. Fresh- men, Jeanie Dodson says, The high school ' s a big change from Catholic schools. You have more freedom to do what you want, meet more people; even changing classes is something new! Robin York was asked what her first impression was and she replied, It ' s more adventerous and you feel older. Even at home your parents are more lenient and let you do a lot more stuff. If you didn ' t know, freshmen were the number one people to get tortured by the upperclassmen. Even though the little freshmen were teased and tor- tured by the upperclassmen, don ' t worry, they too will one day have there turn to get revenge.

The students rush to the bath- room to check their hair, make-up, and clothing to see if everything looks OK. Students wear anything from T-shirts to sweaters, or even to an extent of matching their shirt with their eyes to highlight their features. Although most students only purchase one set of pic- tures, two seperate packets with different poses are available. You recieved twelve wallet size and one five by seven individual for only $3.25. It is not required to buy individual school pictures. To have your picture in the year- book, yearbook pictures were available in black and while. Nick Mangoff, of Hollywood Andrews, has been shooting South ' s pictures for quite some time. Nick stated, Not only do I take pictures for the two high schools, I also have to shoot all of the elementary and junior high schools too. Even though all of the schools from the district are taken by Mangoff, he quickly distributes the pictures within a short time. To get a vague ideal of how many pictures he takes, the freshmen alone has a total of 460 pictures.

I have worked as a school nurse for 20 years, and my last five years have been here at South,” re- marked Mrs. Bartles. Every morning Mrs. Bartles was faced with a busy and time-consuming day. Last year, for example, there were over five-thousand stu- dents who signed into the nurses office. Most of them were ill or just needed some minor first aid. She must maintain health records on all stu- dents. The records are kept on results of all clinical procedures, such as throat cultures, hearing and vision test. Also, an up-to-date emergency card is kept on all students and staff members. Even though Mrs. Bartles has many chores throughout the day, she is always looking for- ward to seeing students.

The freshmen class was ready for high school, but was the high school ready for them? Apparently not, awaiting so long for school to begin, the freshmen were very disap- pointed when school was postponed. School did not open until September 3, 1981. Although everyone missed waking up at ten o ' clock, watching their favorite soap opera, or staying out late every night, everyone knew that school had to start. Most of the incoming freshmen were overly prepared for school to begin. Just when summer started to get boring, new activities flared up and the fun began. Even before school was re- opened, many freshmen were already engaged in fall sports, pom-pons, and band practices. Still others waited for school to begin to support their favorite team and to join the various school clubs and activities. Before long, everyone was getting used to the every- day school life. While the school year progressed, the holidays became more and more appreciated. Although Christmas and Easter are favorites to the students, every- one always looks forward for summer to return.

On the first day of school, all of the new clothes are worn, everyone stands in big groups, and the incoming freshmen appear to be very shy and out of place. But as the years pass, you begin to see T-shirts and tennis shoes all worn by the upperclass- men, and the wild characters of the students soon comes out. Freshmen have a tendency to act like others want them to rather than be theirselves. Many are worried about what they look like and what people think of them. Each year of school, a student changes to some extent. When you are a senior, you no longer care what you look like or how people look at you compared as to freshmen. Junior, Sarah Mason says, When I was a freshmen, I do admit being shy and unaware of what was going on. Now, since I met more people, I can be myself; not only to my friends, but to others as well! ' ' The students that are freshmen this year may appear to be quite different when they are the big seniors. The shy and innocent student in ' 82 may be the wild and crazy student in ' 85. I will guarentee you, a change will take place.

While it was not always easy, most of them strived through the year to complete the dreaded courses. During the freshmen year, there are three re- quired classes and one elective. Struggling through Freshman Composi- tion and Literature, a Math course, a form of Science, and P.E., a freshmen schedule could tend to be rather tough. Among the elective offered to freshmen were art, typing, introduc- tion to business, clothing, foods, and shop courses. Although you do select one elective, freshmen really have no choice at all one semes- ter. Sonya Adkerson, stated, “The head of the department usually sends the counselor permits for students. As for the electives, I usually ask students what there plans are for their future, then look at that to see what electives would be best for them.” Entering high school can be different from junior high, not only con- cerning the activities offered, but the classes too. “The high school teacher expects more from the student. The kids should be more grown up and hold more responsibilities, says Mrs. Adkerson. If someone should happen to fail a course, they are advised to enroll in summer school so that they won ' t fall behind in credits. By the end of the year, a freshmen should have completed 4.52 credits towards graduation. All of these courses combined provide the freshmen stu- dent with a sound basis for the following three years of study.

The shy but eager freshmen soon braved through the cold temperatures to watch the mighty soccer Warriors defeat North. The over-crowded bleachers at the football games were filled with cheering freshmen who dis- played their red and black colors. From the opening games of soccer to the closing of the baseball season, most fresh- men had school spirit. Very interested in school spirit. Coach Don Deterding was asked what he thought about freshmen spirit. He replied, I think freshmen don ' t really know the meaning of spirit. They ' re usually shy and don ' t want to look silly; very reserve. But once they see how the upperclassmen act, there atti- tudes change. Not all freshmen supported the Warrior teams in the begin- ning of the year, but as the school year progressed, they became more involved. As young and as restless as they may have seemed, the shy and unaware freshmen soon became the shout it out loud fan.

Each year, it seems like the freshmen get smaller and smaller. Is it different being smaller than every- one else? Freshmen, Laura Austin says, “It doesn ' t bother me at all being little. It is hard to fit in clothes that looks my age. Laura is only 4 ' 8 . Not only are the freshmen short, the faculty consists of many short teachers also. Mrs. Cynthia Hormell, standing at 5T ' says, “It ' s fantastic being short. You can always look up to everyone. Many small people have different view points on the subject. Who ever said be- ing short is all that bad?

Going out for lunch or cruising around on the weekends becomes an impossible task. For instance, if a boy wanted to take a girl on a date, where would they go? You would probably find the couple sitting at home watching T.V. or being dropped off at the movie theater by one of their parents. On the weekends, you could always find a group of freshman walking around at McDon- alds waiting to bum a ride from an upperclassman. What do freshmen really do without a car? Fresh- man Pete Moore said, I usually talk my brother into giving me a ride somewhere. It isn ' t really that bad though; everyone ' s got to walk sometime. Although most licensed drivers wouldn ' t be seen walking anywhere, just think of the poor freshmen ... all waiting to turn Sweet Sixteen.

Social Studies APPLE A DAY The computer age had captured Granite City South for the first time this year. With the help of Mr. Arthur Eardley, math teacher, and other concerned teachers, two Apple computers had been bought recently. One might ask what will the average student do with a micro-computer? The Apple is great for stud- ies in higher mathematics and also in other related areas. The computer is a processor that can alpha- betize lists of names, send notices to teachers, and do time-consuming tasks in minutes. Mr. Eardley stated, ' ' The students seem to have a great amount of interest in the new computers.” There are two lunch computer classes offered. We get into some complex math, so an interest in math is needed to work with these machines, re- marked Mr. Eardley. Maybe in the future, an hour class will be taught.

Mr. Noeth has been employed at Granite City High School South for 23 years. His titles have included counselor, teacher, and as- sistant principal. The computer has been here for nine years and used excessively everyday. Without this machine and its operators, the students, faculty, and administrators would be lost in confusion.

Some of them worked throughout the summer and were fortunate enough to continue at the same place of em- ployment throughout the school year. Others, however, had jobs that were limited to the warmth of the summer sun. When summer came to an end, so did their jobs. If employment was still desired after school began, they were able to go to the Vocational Career Education Office and visit with Roy McConkey. If they wanted co-op jobs, they could talk with either Al Turner, Jeanette Holder, or Mike Rousseau. The student with a good attitude and skills will always be wel- come by any employer,” commented Roy McConkey. The ambitious student had many choices. Some of the vast opportunities offered during the year ranged from sales and stock position to inventory control clerk to housekeeping at the local hospital. Without a doubt, the qualities necessary for job success include attitude, reliability and skill achievement.” added Jeanette Holder. And without a doubt, many of the South students qualified.

Al Turner finds his job interesting and challenging FACULTY 199 WOMAN OF THE YEAR When speaking of dedication, thoughtful- ness, and understanding it is natural that Mary Perdue-Tapp ' s name would arise. In her 9 years of teaching English at Granite City High School-South she has been called upon to provide help and understanding. Whether it be a freshman with theme corrections or a senior with term paper problems, Mary Perdue-Tapp has been known by the student body as the person to see for help. Mrs. Perdue-Tapp graduated from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale with a Bachelor of Arts in English and history. She later returned to school at Southern Illinois University at Ed- wardsville and earned a Masters degree in counseling. Mrs. Perdue-Tapp remarked, In order to be an effective English teacher, dedication is a must.” Dedication is clearly present in Mary Per- due-Tapp; she spends at least 10-15 hours each week grading papers, preparing for daily lectures, making up exams and quizes and reading the daily assignments. Her dedication can also be seen outside of her classroom. Among her many activities she is co-sponsor of the National Honor Society and the wife of Nedwin Tapp and the mother of two girls, Ame- lia and Anna. 200 SPOTLIGHT TEACHER MARY PERDUE-TAPP Not only is she looked upon highly by her H students, but also by her fellow faculty mem- I bers. Miss Helen Kuenstler, English department head, remarked, In Mrs. Perdue-Tapp ' s 9 years of teaching at South, she has consistently been cooperative and enthusiastic.” Fellow t English teacher and co-sponsor of the National Honor Society, Miss Helen Veloff remarked, Mary is a very special person who touches the life of everyone she meets in an exceptional way. I ' m happy to have her as a colleague, but more than that. I ' m happy to have her as a friend ” In summarizing her years as a teacher, Mrs. Perdue-Tapp said, Both in my teaching and in my personal life, I have tried to celebrate the strength of the human spirit. Through my own sorrow and happiness I have learned that, H| above all, communication and honesty are H| paramount. I hope that students through me, H| are able to see that with correct communica- H| tion and powerful literature, their world can be mm made great.” I Through her dedication, thoughtfulness, and B9 understanding, Mary Perdue-Tapp is truly HI South ' s Woman of the Year.” PH Text and Design by TODD GOODRICH I-.

The bell rings and brings to an end the near silence in the halls of South. Another school day is under way. For our schools secretaries, it is a signal to ready themselves for anything. In their day, they may deal with a sophomore ' s scheduling problem, counting book rental money, or just exchanging conversation with some seniors as they pass by their office. Somewhere, people get the image of secre- taries as sitting behind a desk doing their nails, and taking coffee breaks — not the secretaries at GCHS South. They perform many essential tasks such as recordkeeping, payroll, federal and required reports. They answer phones, and take care of student attendance. There are many secretaries located in the many offices throughout the school. Vera Smolar works in the guidance office, while Helen Favier works in the library. The main and attendance offices both have their own secretaries also. The many hours of typing and paperwork done by the secretaries often goes unrecog- nized. Many do not stop to realize that we should be grateful there are these very impor- tant people who cause our daily routine to function properly. Design and copy by CHRIS PETERSON 2 202 SECRETARIES 1.

What they do not realize is that some of these daily routines are performed by persons who usually go unnoticed. These persons are the custo- dians. These gentlemen keep the school warm and comfortable during the cold winter months, clean the entire building every evening, and spend many hours keeping the furnaces clean and operat- ing. Don Padgett, head custodian, says, There is always someone at the school, whether it is a custodian to do clean-up, or the ' boiler people ' to do minor re- pairs.” So, as you shuffle through the halls of South High School each day, keep in mind and give some thought to the per- sons who keep it all together” for you.

The 1 and 13 season of overall scores was played with hard work and dedication by all of the members on the team. This year,” said Pam Miles, there were many young and inexperienced members.” The many long and hard hours of prac- ticing did pay off for the girls. Theresa Gwasdac and Joan Boker went to districts in singles, while Gloria Milianis and Nancy Jones went as doubles. Pam Miles stated, “This year there were many young and inexperienced players.” The doubles team of Pam Miles and Dina Lombardi were expected to do well at dis- tricts this year, but an emergency stopped them from going. At the annual banquet for the girls, senior Theresa Gwasdac was given the most- valuable player award, and the most im- proved player award was given to Dina Lombardi. The team will miss returning seniors, Joan Boker, Theresa Gwasdac, and Pam Miles, with many returning players for next year. The team expects to have a much better season in the future.

But for Granite City South ' s girl ' s tennis team, it is a lot of hard work. Some of the girls started practicing at the beginning of the summer. While others waited until the school year began to show their talent. Paul Grieves was the team ' s new coach this year. Mr. Grieves is a teacher at Grigsby and a wrestling coach. He has played tennis since his junior high years. “Coach Grieves is a good coach, he is enthusiastic and cooperative with the team.’’ remarked Senior, Pam Miles. When he heard of the opening to coach the team, he took it. What a coinci- dence! he said, I know most of them. Mr. Grieves picked Mike Papes to be his assistant coach. Pam Miles, a player of two and a half years commented, Coach Grieves is a good coach, he is enthusiastic and coop- erative with the team. The girls were really close this year. The team rode to meets in school vans and when there are less peo- ple you have the chance to joke around and have fun. Text and Design by CHRIS PETERSON GIRL ' S TENNIS 211 SIMPLY STUNNING Behind every team there is a group of girls who put much time and effort in help- ing the team be victorious. They stand be- hind the players in all moments of glory and defeat. Each cheerleader must meet qualifica- tions to become and maintain being a cheerleader. Each time of try-outs there are different requirements. There is a vari- ation of things that are to be done: school song, stunts, creative cheer and a group cheer. There is usually a board of five or six judges who evaluate each girl on their per- formances. After each participant has been judged, the sponsor collects the evaluation sheets from the judges and will tally up the scores. Beth Callis stated, “It was a fun exper- ience and I will always be able to look back at a lot of good times.” Once someone is selected as a cheer- leader, they have many responsibilities awaiting them. They must maintain many membership requirements such as a C- average, attend all practices and orga- nize cheers are to name only a few. It was a fun experience and I will always be able to look back at a lot of good times, stated Beth Callis. Pam Stavely was selected as the cap- tain of the football cheerle aders. She com- mented, I have been cheering for a long time and I really like it. Many people think the purpose of a cheerleader is to just get in front of a crowd and cheer, but if you look behind the scene there is much more to the idea.

They were to play them on Satur- day, October 17, but there was rain and tornado threats so the game was played on Monday night. Rick Daily played a very good game and the coach commented on his actions. He ' s a class kid. You throw the ball there and he ' ll catch it. With all the strain and effort that was put into the game, the Warriors lost 20-6. Coach McKe- chan encouraged the team with a positive attitude of the football program. They still play with intensity. We care and they care. We ' re not quitters! “They still play with intensity. We care and they care. We’re not quitters!” said Coach Jerry McKechan. Warriors traveled to Hannibal, Missouri to play an undefeated, eighth ranked team in the latest Missouri large school football poll. They put on a good show by having a lead in the halfway mark with a score of 15-14. Hannibal came back in the second half by tallying up eleven points on the scoreboard to make the final score 25-15. The Warriors then returned home to again tackle Belleville Althoff on their home turf. Luck was not with the Warriors as they were defeated 21-0. After the defeat to Belleville Althoff the South Football Warriors were to be the visiting team to the Granite North Steelers. The Warriors closed out their season with a loss to North 27-14. Coach and the entire team were visible disap- pointed at the outcome of the game and the season. Coach responded They played their hearts out, they kept plugging game after game even after the losses. When you get 16 and 17-year-olds crying after the game, that shows heart, charac- ter, and pride. I ' m proud to be associated with these boys! FOOTBALL 215 CHANGE OF STYLE Pre-season practice was halted before it began because of the d elay of school. Un- der IHSA rules, teams could not practice officially while the teachers were out. When the practices finally did begin, the team had to adjust to a new coaching staff with Jerry McKechan as the head coach. The boys and coaches exerted much effort and enthusiasm at practices for high hopes for the upcoming season. Coach McKechan commented, “The main goal of the season is to bring a change of attitude to the program. It has really been a factor in the past. As far as we ' re con- cerned, last year is over, and you ' ve got to look to the future. “The main goal of the season is to bring about a change in attitude to the program,” commented Coach Jerry McKechan. During the summer months the boys spent much time in getting local sponsors to purchase new equipment for the weight room. The equipment will aid in strengthen- ing and maintaining a strong team. An- other aspect to a strong team is a healthy diet. “Before each game the players went as a team to Charlie ' s restaurant for a proper meal. The reason we go out to eat together is so I can make sure the boys eat a lot of protein-filled foods that will digest easily, stated Coach McKechan. Follow- ing the meal the team had meetings in a conference room where they discussed the offensive and defensive strategies for the game. To make sure the team mem- bers kept their minds on the game, the coaches had the team stay in the gym so they could concentrate. Granite South opened their season against Belleville East with a defeat of 62-0. continued on page 219 216 FOOTBALL 1.

Their next opponent was the O ' Fallon Panthers. “We improved from last week at least a hundred percent. Everyone, from the players on down worked real hard, commented Coach McKechan. Warriors were defeated 28-22 but put up a good fight. The Warrior scor- ing started when John Linhart launched a pass to Dan Harris for six points. Linhart once again reared up and fired a 31 -yard pass to Joe Schnefke. Rick Daily added two points with a run. Dan Harris scored his sec- ond touchdown of the game and Rick Dai- ly ran the ball in for two more. Granite Warriors fought a bitter football battle against the Edwardsville Tigers. It was the first Gateway East Conference game for the team and they lost 27-22 in the final ticks of the clock. John Linhart commented on the game, “Everybody did a good job. They played good when they had to, I just wish we had one more chance. Mr. MeKechan was proud of his team, “We have nothing to be ashamed of. We ' ll be back. We were so close but yet so far away. “Everybody did a good job. They played good when they had to, I just wish we had one more chance,” stated John Linhart. The Granite Warriors then traveled to Cahokia where they fell to a 34-12 loss. The Homecoming game was next on the schedule against the cross-town rivals North Steelers. High hopes of excitement and enthusiasm filled the team, coaches, and the fans. The game was filled with ten- sion and pressure but despite all efforts the Warriors were defeated 38-8. Disappoint- ment was felt everywhere as the Home- coming week came to a close.

Some of the credit for sparking the spirit went to the Harriers Coach Richard Harmon and as- sistant coach Charlotte Charbonnier. Eight of the Granite City South female Harrier team advanced to the State finals at South with a third place finish in the Sec- tional meet with a total of 135 points. Top finishers for South were Mary Bisch, Mary Romine, Kathy Juhasz, and Michelle Shoe- maker. In the boys race the Harriers had only one State qualifier, Dave McLean who finished in eleventh place. The boys team finished in eighth place in the Sectional with a total of 218 points. Coach Harmon who has been coaching the Harriers for 28 years was very satisfied “We increased our work-outs and we improved our running, that way,” re- marked Junior, Mary Romine. with his team when they did exceptionally well at the Madison County meet. In the boys race McLean finished second, Jim McQuaide third, Steve Dumont sixth, and Ron Brown in eighth place. McLean and McQuaide both received medals. In the girls race Bisch finished in first place, Romine in fourth place, Juhasz in seventh place. Shoemaker in eighth place, and Connie Williamson in twelfth place. Bisch, Romine, Juhasz, and Shoemaker all re- ceived medals. Many runners showed a drastic improve- ments from last year. As Mary Romine said, “We increased our work-outs and we im- proved our running, that way. Those who showed drastic improvements were McLean, McQuaide, Juhasz, and William- son. Another part of Cross Country that is not a requirement is the 500 mile club. To be eligible for the 500 mile club, an elite group of runners, one must independently run a total of 500 miles throughout the Summer.

Dave McLean qualified for State along with Mary Bisch, Mary Romine, Kathy Juhasz, Dana Ev- ans, Connie Williamson, Michelle Shoemak- er, Angie Grabowski, and Angel Clark. A pep rally was held to honor these runners and wish them good luck at Peoria. South ' s Cross Country team has the four top runners in the area. They were McLean, Jim McQuaide, Bisch and Romine. The Cross Country team is a co-op sport. This means that the boys and girls run to- gether, but not against one another. Cross Country does not have a regular schedule as do the Football and Soccer teams. Most of the meets are tourna- ments. Two of the biggest Tournaments won by South were the Alton Top 10 in which South placed first and Edwardsville where the Harriers placed second. One highlight of the ' 81 season was a tie against Belleville West in a dual meet. “If there was a dual meet this season we’d win it,” said a confident Coach Har- mon. Second tie in a dual meet in 27 years and they were both against Belleville West said Coach Harmon. South has been a winner the past three seasons, winning the Gatewary East Con- ference Championship and sending runners each season. The Warrior Harriers are the only Cross Country Champions the GEC has ever had, however they did not win it this season. Chaokia dropped Cross Country from it ' s extra curricular sports. Since Belle- ville Althoff doesn ' t offer it either, that leaves only Granite City South, North, and Edwardsville as conference schools with Cross Country teams. The students who participated in Cross Country did so for various reasons. Some said because they ran well in P.E., others because someone suggested it to them, while Jim McQuaide said because I ' m dumb and it ' s much work. Other members of the team included, Gary Earhart, Jeff Kraus, and Todd Scrum. Text and Design by GAIL FRAZIER CROSS COUNTRY 223 PRACTICE . . While other students enjoyed summer by swimming, staying out late and goofing off, the Granite City South soccer team prac- ticed diligently on the field in the hot sum- mer sun. Practice started August 13, aver- aging two practices daily, mainly pertain- ing to get-in-shape exercises and scrim- mages. The practices got us ready for the upcoming game. We scrimmaged while Mr. Baker made note of what we needed to improve on,” stated senior Greg White. The varsity usually practiced with the J.V., sharing soccer technique and experience. With the teachers ' strike, practices were cancelled and the boys practiced on their own. The first game of the season against Lebanon had to be re-scheduled since school has to be in session on the day of a game. The pressure of a late season did not affect the team, and they started the season with pride and dignity. “The practices got us ready for the up- coming game. We scrimmaged while Mr. Baker made note of what we needed to improve on,” stated senior Greg White. The boys on the soccer team undergo strenuous physical exhaustion, but what about mental fatique? As any other sports team, the soccer team prepares for the game by warming up and practicing. But, Mr. Baker sees to it that they all have done some mental thinking about the game. I do not try to psyche the team up. I stress preparation on skills and game situations, remarked Coach Gene Baker. Much goes into playing soccer besides playing soccer. Mr. Baker scouts various ri- val teams and reports to his players the key opponents to watch out for. Coach Baker feels that it is the coaches duty to scout the teams, not the players themselves. So after the season closed to an end, soccer ended, right? Wrong. After the win- ter passes and the grass becomes green again, the soccer players will be out on the field again preparing for another challeng- ing season.

Groups of coaches have not contributed as much to Illinois prep soccer as Mr. Baker has single- handedly. One look at the Illinois State Final record book, and one can see that Coach Baker is a perfectionist and usually gets what he wants. In my coaching career, I have always had a group of boys who I could trust and have good personal rela- tions with , remarked Mr. Baker. Soccer can be a highly emotional game so the players are prepared mentally and phys- ically. Mr. Baker has been offered to coach many college teams but is content to stay at South. Soccer in the Granite City area is more than a sport-it is a tradition that people of all ages take deep pride in, he stated. Mr. Baker ' s main goal is not only to win games, but to elevate the game and to develop a soccer program that can be compatible to the St. Louis area. “Soccer in the Granite City area is more than a sport — it is a tradition that people of all ages take deep pride in,” Coach Gene Baker stated. I love the sport and you have to enjoy playing the game if you want to win. I ' m very hard on the players and at the same time close to them, stated Mr. Baker. Dur- ing his free time, one can find Mr. Baker on the phone finding colleges for his senior players. I advocated a continuation of education, and help the players find a col- lege that offers a good soccer program, he remarked. This year Gene Baker was named as the recipient of the Msgr. Jimmie Johnston Award by the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame Committee. The award is given by the committee only to people it feels have made an outstanding contribution to soc- cer in the St. Louis area. Preparation, fundamentals, tradition and pride. Little things mean a lot in soccer. Baker ' s been doing a lot of little things right for a long time. Text and Design by ANGELA GRUPAS SOCCER 227 WHAT A SEASON Let ' s face it, a tradition of 5 state cham- pionships had been broken, but to recol- lect about the past season only brings thoughts of good times and games won. The season ended with a 15-4-5 record; one that any school would be proud of. It ' s been an enjoyable season and the kids have a lot to be proud of, Gene Ba- ker stated. The season started off great as usual with the first 2 games being shutouts. Then there was the first tie of the season against North that began the string of ties that were left to come. The Tournament of Champions originat- ed at South, and was held here again dur- ing Oct. 8-10. The Missouri state champions participated along with Reitz Memorial (In- diana state champions) and Riverview Gardens. This year South did not come out with top honors: Vianney beat South 2-1. The season ended with 11 shutouts and winner of the Gateway East Conference. “It’s been an enjoyable season and the kids have a lot to be proud of,” Gene Baker stated. A Sub-sectionals were tough for South. South tied Collinsville 1-1, but then beat Madison 6-0 to regain confidence. On Hal- loween night North and South locked horns. After an overtime and penalty kicks. South reigned with the score of 4-2. Then after the celebration, the tradition was broken; a southern team went to state this year but it wasn ' t South. Collinsville beat South 1-0 on a wet, cold day. Feelings were hurt, players angry, but the under- classmen were optomistic: there is always next year, The soccer cheerleaders cheered the Warriors through fog, rain, mud, and had an exciting time doing so. The squad consist- ed of 4 seniors and 4 juniors, with two girls returning from last season. Ellen Range was the elected captain and had the added responsibility of organizing cheers and practices.

V. soccer team coached by Mel. Bunting. Each year freshman come to the Granite soccer pro- gram in hopes of becoming a Granite South soccer team member. A member of a winning team that is a tradition in the Granite City area. But, before their hopes could be fulfilled. Coach Bunting prepared them, worked with them, and enjoyed them. Bunting doesn ' t mind being Baker ' s assistant. I ' ve had the opportunity to work with the best soccer coach around, stat- ed Mel Bunting. Mr. Bunting was also a part of the varsity unit as well. I have no qualms about coaching on the sidelines in the var- sity games, too, remarked Coach Bunt- ing. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with the best soccer coach around,” stated Coach Mel Bunting. The J. V. team sometimes does not enjoy as much publicity as it deserves. Their games could be and occasionaly were as exciting and grueling as the varsity games. Many J.V. players dress for the varsity games and help fire up the varsity players who have not had the chance to partici- pate yet. At the end of the season as it was time to hand out the awards, the varsity mem- bers who have helped the program in dif- ferent ways were recognized. The tradi- tional banquet unveiled three awards to four important players. Most Improved was Scott Vickers. The Warrior Award or Unsung Hero Award went to Rich Moore. The re- cipient of the Most Valuable Players Award were David Paz and Greg White. The tri- captains, Greg White, David Paz, and Joe LeMaster received applause for their hard work.

They ended their season placing fifth out of ten teams. The Warriors had twenty games in all losing fourteen, winning four and tying two. Var- ious teams that South played in the 1981 season were Wood River, Roxana, Ed- wardsville, Alton, Collinsville, Red Bud and North. There were eleven players in the 1981 season. First place honors were won by Larry Holder and Ken Rapp in the Granite City North Scramble. Fifth place honors were won by Rick Bicanic and Gary Brown in the Centralia Best Ball. There were also many flights won in the Edwardsville Invitational. Winners were Larry Holder, Ken Rapp, Rick Bicanic, Gary Brown and Randy Thurman. Boone Chaney commented, “The team did fairly well in all. Larry Holder is quite a good player and I’m sure the others will be successful next year.” Sophomore Randy Thurman was named second All Conference and voted Most Im- proved Freshmen. John Tackett was voted best Freshman player and Larry Holder won Lowest Average. These three Warriors won trophies for their abilities along with these honors. Ken Rapp was named Honorary Mention All Conference. Holder won many other ti- tles. He qualified for the Sectional Tourney with a score of 79 in the district. Larry was named to the Belleville News Democrats All Area Team (top 12 players). He was also named to the first team All Conference. There will be seven remaining and new freshmen who will be joining the team to make their 1982 season a successful one.

The season was very impressive. The only weakness of the team was that the boys were only able to practice once a week, on Thursdays. The improvements that the team made over the years was due to the playing of more discipline hockey and the over- all team ' s desire to win, said Captain Deron Bridick. There were two reasons that South ' s Ice Hockey team was not a school sport, like soccer or football. One reason was the sport is too expensive, and the other was that South was the only school in the state of Illinois that had an Ice Hockey team. “The improvements were due to the play- ing of more disipline Hockey and the overall team’s desire to win,” said Captain Deron Bridick. The coaching staff also helped in the disipline area. We thought that Coach Dix and Steve Dioneda should be commended on their hard work, commented both Tim Phelps and Deron Bridick. Most of the players on the team intended going on and playing hockey on the college level. My first goal would be to play hockey on the college level. The competition is great and it is very difficult to reach the top, commented Phelps. The team had three captains. They were Deron Bridick, Tim Phelps, and Gary Brown, who suffered most of the season with a broken ankle. The seniors this year were the first group of players who played for the complete four years of hockey. Coach Dix selected twenty players, however only fifteen were allowed to dress for each game. The starters were select ed by their ability, remarked junior Bill Schriber.

All of the digging, spiking, serving, and re- ceiving done by the players nightly result- ed in a weak 6-19 record. Was there any reason? This years season was three weeks shorter than last years but the girls still played the same number of games; which meant trying to cram all of the basics in a few practices. Before school even started, 43 girls participated in two to three prac- tices daily just to be ready for the opening game. Twenty-four of the girls continued to play with the team for the entire season. Having an all-senior team last year, with the exception of Julie DeRuntz, led to a young and inexperienced varsity team. But, the girls still kept on playing and chal- lenged other skilled schools. If experience is the answer to success the forecast for next years team should be brighter. Wilma Schulze added, Players will have to have diversity to be able to improve their serves and receives of serves. Once this is accom- plished, higher goals will be possible.” “Players will have to have diversity to be able to improve their serves and re- ceives of serves. Once this is accom- plished, higher goals will be possible,” said Wilma Schultze. Miss Schulze ' s volleyball career began in the spring of 1973. This was the first year Granite City had a high school interscholas- tic team. Coaching volleyball for nine years now. Miss Schulze never knew in her high school days that her past experiences with volleyball could be applied today. Miss Schulze participated on her high school volleyball team which led to college play and then on to other volleyball organiza- tions. Text and Design by GINA GRAHAM VOLLEYBALL 237 VOLLEYBALL GAME GAINS INTEREST This years varsity team was neutral con- cerning the ability of skills of the players. Receiving awards this year for their well- done performances were Allison Boyd, valuable setter and server, Julie DeRuntz, valuable spiker, and Cheryl Krug, valuable receiver. The team was led by their har- dearning captains. Seniors Julie DeRuntz and Cheryl Krug. Other varsity players who contributed their skills are Diane Walten- berger, Trish Skinner, Theresa Soellner, Jen- nifer Robinson, Vicki Smith, and Gina Gra- ham. Captain, Cheryl Krug commented, I had a lot of fun this year at practices and games. We could of played better, but then again, we could of played worse.” “I had a lot of fun this year at practices and games. We could of played better, but then again, we could of played worse,” comments co-captain, Cheryl Krug. A new face around the volleyball scene is assistant coach, Cynthia Hormell. Cynthia has been coaching for two years now, and has learned that a good volleyball game is a work of art.” What exactly does an assistant coach do? Mrs. Hormell replied, “I conduct prac- tices, follow directions, and help supervise to help the girls correct their errors. Coach Hormell expressed her impression on the future season. ' ' We have some strong freshmen who could dramatically improve their skills in the next couple of years and be an asset to varsity.” Cyn- thia ' s knowledge and never dying enthusi- asm is an asset to South ' s team.

The girls basketball team had such a successful season last year that high hopes were placed on the girls this season. However, at the close of the 1980-81 season, seven very talented seniors graduated, leaving a young, ambitious, but inexperienced team to carry on. Included in this group of girls were only two seniors: Theresa Gwasdac and Shawna Li- ley. Out of all of the girls on the 1981-82 basket- ball team none of them had ever played in a Varsity game. The girls were led by Coach Gary Morgan and Assistant Coach Barry Schroeder. They were aided by manager Joe Betts. Because of this lack of experience. Coach Morgan was forced to explore all of the options offered, which included using freshmen in Varsity games. Along with a lack of age, the Lady Warriors were also faced with a lack of height. “All in all, our season wasn’t that bad consid- ering the fact that none of us had ever played Varsity before. Plus, it’s been a lot of fun.” remarked Theresa Gwasdac. The girls had only a few members on the team who really possessed the height needed for the game. Despite the many disadvantages that were included in the team, the girls remained opti- mistic during the season. As Theresa Gwasdac remarked, All in all, our season wasn ' t that bad considering the fact that none of us had ever played Varsity before. Plus, it ' s been a lot of fun. Everyone connected with the team felt that this was an important season for the girls. The tough rebuilding year gave everyone an opportunity to gain the valuable experience that was needed. This was especially helpful to the younger players and all of the girls planning on returning next season. In reviewing all of the factors, the ladies were to be commended for a job well done.

Perhaps the two most talented girls on the team were Juniors Nancy Jones and Trish Skinner. Another girl on the team who was an important asset to the team ' s dedication and determination was Senior Theresa Gwasdac. All of these girls domi- nated the team ' s ambitious drive throughout the season. As Shawna Liley, Senior on the Var- sity team, commented about the leaders, I think Nancy Jones and Trish Skinner worked great together as a pair, and I really believe that their talent made up for a great deal of our lack of age and experience. One of the memorable drives led by these talented girls was a surprising victory over Cahokia. “I think Nancy Jones and Trish Skinner worked great together as a pair, and I really believe that their talent made up for a great deal of our lack of age and experience,” said Shawna Liley. Many of the girls felt that this was perhaps the best game of the year and one of their most satisfying, due to the fact that Cahokia had beaten the Lady Warriors earlier in the season. While the Varsity team had an average sea- son, the Junior Varsity team managed to pro- duce an even better record with the help of Coach Morgan and Coach Schroeder. Even though the girls possessed a great deal of talent, the turn out of fans at the games was, once again, in very small numbers. Most of the people who attended were the players ' fam- ilies, and a few friends and devoted fans. Although the girls had a rough rebuilding year, the ladies were able to pull through it, due to their talent, drive, and determination.

Coach Schmitt has also held titles such as National High School Wrestling Coach of the Year, President of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, chairman of the Illinois High School Association Advisory Wrestling Committee, secretary of the National Wrestling Coaches Association and wrestling rules interpreter for the Illinois High School Association. His titles and accomplish- ments create just a small part of the talented man. Coach William Schmitt stated, “I enjoyed considerable success in the sport during my high school and post-high school years and decided that I should contribute to the per- petuation of the sport for high school boys.” Coach Bill Schmitt depended on the hard work of his assistant coaches and the wrestlers. Mike Garland and Larry Carli were an essential ingredient to the success of the wrestling pro- gram. The 1981-1982 wrestling Warrior ' s season was not very successful when viewed with re- spect to many of their past seasons, but rela- tive to what many other teams hoped to ac- complish they did have a good year. Coach Schmitt replied, Hard work and dedication to the sport along with the conviction that you will succeed because you are better prepared than your opponents makes an athlete a true champion. According to his definition, this year ' s team had many true champions. Coach Schmitt chose wrestling as his sport to coach because of his past experiences. Out of all his exciting meets, Mr. Schmitt ' s most memorable point was coaching all the many Granite City boys who made wrestling their sport.

The team had lost six State tournament qualifiers and two State tournament placers. The only returning lettermen were Mike Neibur, Mike Trgovich, Jon Frangoulis, and Ken Dowdy. The demanding schedule began with a dou- ble dual at Edwardsville ending with two victo- ries over Centralia and Edwardsville. Their weekend also consisted of a quadrangular meet against Stephen Decatur, Decatur Mac- Arthur, and Bloomington. The wrestling Warriors smashed all the teams with determination and aggressiveness. Coach William Schmitt stated. Our progress is about what I expected, al- though I didn ' t think we ' d be that well off victo- ry wise. Coach William Schmitt stated, “Our progress is about what I expected, although I didn’t think we’d be that well off victory wise.” South found itself in an unusual position going against East St. Louis. They needed victories in the last three bouts to win and got them with the efforts of Ken Dowdy, Dave Brown, and Doug Graham. South kept its winning streak with a victory over Parkway North but was handed their first loss by Francis Howell. Before the annual Holiday tournament. South received another victory over Normandy High. During the Holiday Tournament, South placed sixth. The season resumed with a win over Belleville East. That same weekend, they faced a double dual where they lost to Pekin and beat Peoria. Belle- ville West shut out South before the Warriors regained their confidence and beat Parkway West. The next two games were dissapoint- ments for South. They lost to both Hazelwood and Roxana. Recovering their winning streak. South acquired five victories over Lindbergh, Cahokia, McCluer North, Columbia, and Quin- cy. Due to an early deadline the North and Belleville Althoff games and districts, regionals, and the State Tournament were not covered. Text and Design by NANCY NOLAN WRESTLING 247 TRADITION Again during the Christmas holidays. Granite City High South hosted the 21st Annual Holiday Wrestling Tournament. Over December 29th and 30th, sixteen schools competed against each other for the title. The annual affair fea- tured Missouri powerhouses Riverview Gardens and Hazelwook Central. Also competing in the meet were Granite City North, Roxana, Nor- mandy, Pekin, Belleville East, South, Lincoln, Ste- phen Decatur, Bloomington, McCluer North, Cahokia, Ritenour, Wood River, and Jackson- ville. Coach Schmitt played down South ' s chances at defending the championship which the Warriors have won 11 times in the twenty years of the tournament. All of these schools were in the top ten in the St. Louis area, Schmitt said. We were in the top ten too, but we didn ' t have the quality wrestlers to com- pete with those schools. After the second qualifying session ended, the leaders of the tournament could already be seen. “All of these schools were in the top ten In the St. Louis area,” Schmitt said. “We were in the top ten too, but we didn’t have the quality wrestlers to compete with those schools.” Riverview held first place with Roxana and Normandy running close behind. Granite City North Steelers were in fourth while South was in sixth. Three of South ' s wrestlers placed in the top three of the tournament. Doug Graham gave South a pleasant surprise by taking the heavyweight championship. In the 155 pound class, Jon Frangoulis claimed third, while Sam Givens received third place at 132 pounds. South placed sixth, however Riverview won the tournament. The participating teams and coaches looked forward to the tournament because it came right at midseason. This enabled the coaches to get a look at their wrestlers and get an idea on what work was needed for the rest of the season.

The wrestling cheerleaders, wrestling queens, and wrestlerettes encouraged and assisted the wrestlers during their season. The wrestling cheerleading squads consisted of varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen squads. These groups were chosen at the beginning of the season and were hard at work from then on. The varsity squad cheered at all home and away games. The cheerleaders and wrestlers had a close relationship because of the many long wrestling meets spent together. The fresh- men and junior varsity squads each backed their teams at home meets. All of these girls supported the wrestlers by yelling encourage- ment along side of the mat. Mindy Wood, sectional wrestling queen, stat- ed, “I was honored to represent the wrestling Warriors as a queen and manager. This made me feel like an important part of wres fling.” The wrestlers themselves picked two groups of girls to represent their team. These two groups were the Holiday and Sectional Wres- tling Queens. The queens distributed the tro- phies to the winners of the tournament. The groups were chosen because of their encour- agement throughout the season. Mindy Wood, sectional wrestling queen, stated, “I was hon- ored to represent the wrestling Warriors as a queen and manager. This made me feel like an important part of wrestling. The wrestlerettes were the hardworking girls who helped assemble, run, and disassemble wrestling matches. These girls volunteered their hours after school, weeknights, and weekends to allow the wrestling team to compete. They also performed tasks during the performance of the meets. No matter what group seemed more impor- tant, they were all needed and appreciated by the coaches and teams. With the aid of these groups, the Warriors had an enjoyable and rewarding season. Text and Design by NANCY NOLAN WRESTLING QUEENS CHEERLEADERS 251 COACHES CORNER I bet the student body didn ' t realize we had an all-state basketball player on our hands. It ' s true, Don Deterding once was recognized in Collinsville as an all-stater in 1952 and later rose to be an honorable mention All-American while attending Southeast Missouri College. Now the super star coaches here at South and has been for the last 12 years. The 1981-82 season started on November 1 with a long three hour practice, consisting of both Varsity and Junior Varsity players. Since each practice period had been carefully planned the long three hour practice at the beginning of the season, simmered down to a satisfying hour and a half. The boys had plenty of practice time inside regulation times. If a player prac- ticed too much, sometimes he wanted to es- cape from the sport for a while, because it might get boring. The beginning of this years ' season did have some difficulties, but later pro- gressed greatly. Coach Don Deterding re- marked, Though the losses in the beginning of the season were very close and frustrating, I feel the boys lost confidence with theirselves. “Co-captains, Joe Schnefke and Ken McManus, both demonstrated superior lead- ership on and off the court. They not only encouraged the team, but also hustled their fannies off,” replied Coach Deterding. By winning four of five games, the boys re- gained their confidence which was good. Even though the team did not have any goals set for the season, they took one game at a time. The highlight game of the season would be considered the victory over Collins- ville. This accomplishment was the first win against this rival in 1 1 years. Co-captains, Joe Schnefke and Ken McManus, both demonstrated superior leader- ship on and off the court. They not only encour- aged the team, but also hustled their fannies off. replied Coach Deterding. A big factor this basketball team lacked was height. Other than that, the team was well dedicated and disciplined. All I asked was that they played good ball said Coach Deterding.

The opening victory against Bethalto proved to everyone that the Warriors were tough to beat. The continuous high scorers Ken McManus, Joe Schnefke, and Pat Linhart, car- ried the mighty Warriors through many nerve- racking games. With the help of the ballhan- dling guards, the Warriors controlled most of the games with their dribbling and play work. Though everyone knows the ball cannot sink into the basket on every shot, Tom Miller, John Linhart and Jim Petty also contributed their standings. Proceeding on with the season, the team expressed their talent at the Holiday Tourna- ment with an overall record of 1-3. Since the round robin tournament consisted of very many high rated teams, the Warriors finished in fourth “I was very pleased with Collinsville’s de- feat. The game was very outstanding in more ways than one. South has not beaten Collins- ville since 11 years ago. This game should be remembered,” said Coach Don Deterding. place. Next, recooperating with the heart break loss against rival Granite North, the team turned around and beat the 4th rated Collinsville. The boys played an outstanding game and should be congradulated. Don Deterding added, I was very pleased with Collinsville ' s defeat. The game was very outstanding in more ways than one. South has not beaten Collinsville since 11 years ago. This game should be remembered. The Warriors slump was then terminated. Even though South was earlier defeated by North, South later proved their potential in a returning victory over our cross-town rival. The season coul dn ' t of been as successful if all of the players didn ' t contribute their fullest potential. Returning juniors from the junior varsi- ty squad, and the Linhart boys, will carry the Warriors to another year of exciting basketball. Text and Design by GINA GRAHAM and DANA WOOD BOY ' S BASKETBALL 255 WORKING HARD Yelling at the games, pep rallies, and being devoted to the team, the cheerleaders sup- ported the players through thick and thin. The seven smiling varsity girls followed the basket- ball Warriors to every home and away game. The enthusiasm and high spirit of the girls contin- ued to pertain till the last sound of the buzzer. Not only did the varsity squad cheer the War- riors to victory, but the junior varsity and pom- pons also contributed a great deal. Varsity cheerleader captain, Pam Stavely, added, It was an honor being elected captain and I ' m sure the other girls enjoyed cheering as much as I did. We were all glad to be a part of the team.” Although you always seem to read about the thrilling plays and moves, the basketball team could not have existed without the faithful managers and stats. “It was an honor being elected captain and I’m sure the other girls enjoyed cheering as much as I did. We were all glad to be a part of the team,” said Pam Stavely. Grudging through every practice and game, the manager must attend just as many events as the players do. Assisting the coach in any way possible, the managers were an important asset to the team. Sophomore manager, Billy Forrest, concluded Being a manager did take a lot of time, but in the end, you were able to have alot of fun.” Another aspect of the game was the stats. Being in charge of counting rebounds, assists, shots, and the scorebook, the stats also had fun getting to know the players and more about the game. Senior stat, Mary Jenkins, exclaimed, The bus rides and the games were always exciting, though the job did have its responsibilities. It was not as easy as it sounded!” Since being a stat didn ' t have any given re- wards, Mary added, Just by getting involved made a stat ' s job worth the trouble.” Text and Design by GINA GRAHAM and DANA WOOD 256 BOY ' S BASKETBALL 1 John Linhart drives for two. 2.

Since the boys are together for such long periods of time, friendships expand. Some may think fun is prohibited when playing, but a lot of good times are formed. Senior Jim Petty said, Most of the players got along pretty good. In basketball, there ' s a time to have fun, then there ' s a time for strictly basketball. Since practice was a daily routine for the guys, players felt that practice was hard but enjoyable. The practice sessions were held mainly to correct game play mistakes, which the players realized. This years boy ' s basketball program consist- ed of two co-captains, Joe Schnefke and Ken McManus, who proved to be great assets to the team ' s victories. What exactly was the job of the captains? Captain, Joe Schnefke, replied, “My job mainly was to relate the players problems to the coach. Senior Jim Petty said, “Most of the players got along pretty good. In basketball, there’s a time to have fun, then there’s a time for strictly basketball.” Being a co-captain was really a fun, memora- ble experience. Not only did the team have highly skilled members, academic wise, they were out- standing. For instance, validictorian Larry Hold- er, State Scholar Joe Schnefke, and National Merit Scholarship Winner from South, Ken McManus were all members of the National Honor Society. The players thanked the fans, cheerleaders, managers, stats, and the coaches for all their support. Senior Tom Miller added, “Without the cheerleaders, and especially the stats, the team wouldn ' t have anyone to pep us up. They really help out alot on the court. Also, they helped out when the crowd was rowdy. Text and Design by DANA WOOD and GINA GRAHAM BOY ' S BASKETBALL 259 2 1.

Under the supervision of Eugene Smallman, advisor of Student Council, and the leadership of the president, Jim Crews, the energetic members were involved in many projects that benefited the school and the community. Student Council had many major projects that they were involved in during this year. The blood drives that were held were indeed very successful in achieving their desired goals. The Christmas baskets which were bought with the money that students and clubs had donated were also very successful. Even though the usual goal of $25 was raised to $30 for the homerooms, many still were able to which there goal. The Prom was also a very impor- tant responsibility of Student Council members, who did an excellent job in organizing it. The council also arranged the Almost Anything Goes Christmas assembly. Students represented their classes and competed against the other classes and the faculty in very unusual games. The faculty members were de- clared the winners of the competetion. The council also held dances and sold flowers and secret messages that students could send to each other. Student Council in- deed had a very active year in improving the school for the students and the community for the citizens. Text and Design by KIM DEGONIA 262 STUDENT COUNCIL 1 .

All of the athletes at South who have shared this experience de- cided to get together and form two cluPs. For the girls, there was S.L.A.C. (South Lead- er Athletic Club). The sponsor is Mrs. Charlotte Charbonnier. She has sponsored the club since its beginning in 1979. The club meets on Thursday mornings at 7:30 a.m. in the Rythmn Room. At these meet- ings, they discuss fund-raising ideas, This years officers were: Julie DeRuntz-presi- dent, Nancy Jones, Mary Romine-vice-presi- dent, Mary Bisch-secretary, and Roxanne Aleksandrian-treasurer. For the guys, there was the lettermens club. The sponsor is Greg Patton. He has been the sponsor for five years. The lettermens club has many fund-raising ideas. They sell cheese, and sponsor a donkey basketball game annually. At the donkey bas- ketball game, the teachers from South and North compete against the lettermen from both schools. The lettermen raise the money to buy equipment and needed things for the athletic department. Greg Patton said, This year we bought an ice machine, and within the next couple of years, we plan to buy a color video tape machine. The officers of this year included: Dave Paz- president. Rich Moore-vice-president, Rick Daily-secretary, and Mike Bunjan-treasurer. Being in S.L.A.C. or lettermen would be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Paula Koch commented, Everyone notices a guy in a lettermen ' s jacket. It helps to promote other people into going out for sports, so they can earn a varsity letter, too.

The girls who belonged to this club put much time and effort into the things that they did. They usually met twice a month to discuss busi- ness matters or to decorate the school and paint banners. At sport events, the Red Pep- pers helped the cheerleaders cheer the team on to a victory. The Red Peppers arranged pep rallies for the teams before important games. This gave the teams enthusiasm and determination to win their games. Secret Pals and scrapbooks were a big part of this group. For secret pals, each girl picked a team member and became his secret pal for 3 days. This consisted of decorating their locker, secretly delivering treats to their classrooms and doing special things for them. Each senior athelete recieved a scrapebook made by a Red Pepper. The scrapbooks were made to thank and to show the appreciation of the seniors hard work. This year Red Pepper ' s had some changes. Nick Petrillo became their new advisor and ju- nior, Cheryl Thompson became president. Other members of the board were Angela Grupas, Mary Brandt, Pam Miles, Lori Allen, Kim Daughtery, Chris Siers, and Lisa Walker.

The students in the class also do the lighting, hand out programs and take tickets at the door. This is a very important class, it re- quires hard work and time, but it can be enj oyable also. Kim Callahan, advanced stagecraft student comments, It ' s a fun class, because books aren ' t involved.” Beginning stagecraft involves the learn- ing of the stage and getting to know how things are done. Advanced stagecraft does the construction for the perfor- mances. Stagecraft students take on great re- sponsibilities. Their time is always valuable because of the deadlines they have to meet. There are many students who stay after school to work on the scenery. This also gives them extra points toward their grade. Not only does South stagecraft students construct the scenery for South ' s presenta- tions, they also contribute to North ' s. They help build the scenery and do the lighting for North ' s productions.

Any Number Can Die was a mystery containing everything from an undercover detective to a mysterious robed figure whose identity is unknown unto the very end. The action of the play takes place in the living room of Raven ' s Head, an old mansion situated on a deserted island off the coast of North Carolina. The time period is the late twenties which was displayed very well with the wonderful costumes worn by the entire cast. The play begins with all of the heirs of a dead man, who have assembled together for the reading of the will. The murder of Roger Masters, played by Michael Moore, soon begins a series of many mysterious happenings. The play was a big success due to the long hours that were given by the members of the cast, the Stagecraft students that worked on the set, and the director, Mrs. Ruth Klaus Text and Design by KIM DEGONIA 7 WINTER PLAY 271 Stagecraft students in the club are: Row 1: Linda Bergfield.

To qualify as a member of the club, it was neces- sary to first be a member of the National For- ensics League or the International Thespians. The members ranged from being a part of stagecraft or acting to competing in debate or individual events. Every year the club sponsors the activities during Homecoming week. They were respon- sible for selecting the Homecoming theme, as well as choosing the band for the Homecom- ing dance. To promote school spirit, the club sold Homecoming buttons. The money re- ceived from the buttons, the play and the dance, went to the Speech department. Other activities which the Speech and The- atre Club were involved in, including arranging the follies, judging the follies, and awarding the winning class a trip to a play or musical. The sponsor for the club was Ronald Pennell, head of the Speech department. He has been the sponsor for seven years. The students who organize the meetings and activities are the representatives: Mike Moore, president; Mark Smith, vice-president; Kim Evans, secretary; and Karen Abrams, treasurer. Pam Miles, a senior member of the club, said, It is both an honor and a lot of fun to be a part of the Speech and Theatre Club. The club recognizes all the hard work you put into becoming a member of the National Forensics League or the International Thespians. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to join.” The purpose of the club was to recognize the students and their accomplishments. At the end of each year, the club sponsors an awards banquet for the members. Text and Design by NANCY NOLAN SPEECH AND THEATRE 273 1. Junior.

They were organized by Mary Ellen Johnson, teacher of the Ad- vanced Journalism class, and led by Mike Moore- Editor-in- Chief . Mike was aided by his assistant editors who included Robin Campion, News Editor; Mark Smith, Editorial Editor; Roxanne Aleksandrian, Feature Editor; and Joan Boker, Sports Editor. The hard workers produced approximately two issues per month, each issue costing 25c The staff also published special editions, which included the Literary Edi- tion and the Senior Edition- both costing more than the normal price. There was also a Cub Edition of the High World that was published not by the regular staff in the Advanced class, but by the students in the Beginning Jour- nalism class. The High World covered a wide variety of subjects dealing with current news, sports, editorials, and features. The staff members were responsible for writing the stories, drawing the layouts, and making all the preparations that were needed to get the paper ready for printing.

South ' s Band was in large measure responsi- ble for promoting school spirit. The Band played in school events such as, the football games, soccer, and basketball games, also the band played at Homecoming, the May Day Festival, at Pep Rallies, and also at several concerts dur- ing the year. Students who attended South ' s last home Football game had to have noticed something different at half time. The band was attired in their new marching uniforms. The uniforms consisted of new blouses and hats. The blouses were white with a red and black sash with SOUTH ' ' printed in white letter- ing. The hats were red with white plumes. This particular type of uniform was styled after the drum and bugle corps uniforms. The Warrior band received many compli- ments on their new uniforms. Their first chance to show them off was at a marching band con- test held at Eastern Illinois University. The band competed against two bands from this area, Edwardsville and Highland. The Warrior band placed fifth out of ten places at the competi- tion, which was excellent postioning for it only being their second year of competition. The band established the number one marching unit in the Metro East area after being victorous over the bands from Edwardsville and Highland. Seniors in the band were Pam Box, Carolyn Burns, Kim Ross, Hope Lee, Darren Halva, Tom Marcus, Rich Kohl, Debbie Reeves, James Ab- bott, and Terry Loyd. Band members were required to pass six ba- sic requirements. The requirements were in playing and clap- ping rhythms, minor and major scales, knowing musical terms, and attending all concerts and rehearsals. The Stage Band performed at concerts which included old and new jazz music. The piano, drums, bass guiter, trumpets, trombones, and saxophones made up the Stage Band. South ' s Marching Band played a vital part in promoting school spirit during the home games, and pep rallies. Individual members of the band went to State Competition for solos and en- semble as did the entire band. The band was under the direction of Mr. Joesph Owens.

The Swing Choir consisted of twenty four mem- bers, twelve boys and twelve girls, plus three alternates and two accompanist. The group worked on a meledy for the State contest which was held in March. Last year the Southern Express Swing Choir earned a perfect first place rating at the State Contest. During the winter and spring seasons the group gave a concert at South and performed at churches, parties, and other schools. have found the ' 81- ' 82 Swing Choir to be an enthusiastic and enjoyable group to work with. They are a talented group of students. I am looking forward to their competing at the Contest and hope they will realize their poten- tial as well as sustain the good reputation this group has built in the past years,” commented Mrs. Bright. The members each chose their own dress attire. This year the boys chose kelly-green crew neck sweaters and white shirts, and khaki colored pants. The girls chose print dresses with basically the same colors. The Vocal department offered hundreds of students the opportunity to develop their musi- cal talents and perform at various community events. The Department consisted of several different choirs; each specializing in a certain type of music. Music was the only course in school where a group of students got together and willingly accept the direction of one person. It is a unique learning situation since other classes en- courage individualism. Advanced Mixed Chorus is a highly selective group of students that consist of juniors and seniors. They are chosen for their ability to read music, the ability to cooperate in a group of activities, and their voice quality. They perform a wide variety of difficult sacred and secular music. The local chapter of the Modern Music Mas- ters organization was founded in Park Ridge, Illinois in 1958. To be in this organization one must maintain a ”B average in all academic subjects and an A” average in music. One must be of good character and demonstrate a spirit of cooperation, and serve their class and school. Students must either Sophomores, Ju- nior, or Senior.

They are otherwise known as the Dixie Dolls. There are four officers of the squad: Sandra Edwards, captain; Roxanne Aleksan- drian and Laura Schanks, co-captains; and Sandra Laster, historian. The girls began their hard work during the summer and worked throughout the school year after school. The practices consisted of practicing routines for their upcoming perfor- mances. The squad performed at soccer, foot- ball, and basketball games. They also partici- pated in the Homecoming parade and pep assemblies. All of the girls on the squad become very close after the long hours spent together. When asked what she liked best about being on the pom-pon squad, Sandra Laster, a senior, replied, All the girls on the squad get along well and are like on big happy family.” A CHEERFUL GLOW The Granite City South Flag squad consisted of seventeen ambitious girls. The squad per- formed before and during games and at half time. The captain of the Flag squad was Hope Lee. This year the girls did not have to be a mem- ber of the band to participate in try outs. They practiced during the summer, during the first part of fourth hour, and after school to perfect their routines. After performing at soccer and football games and promoting school spirit at pep as- semblies, the girls become close friends and enjoy being with each other. All of their hard work pays off when they participate in contests with the band and re- ceive some type of recognition. Text and Design by NANCY NOLAN 284 POM PONS FLAG GIRLS 3 1.

The co-sponsors of the club were Helen Veloff and Mary Perdue-Tapp, who is new to the organization. The National Honor Society is a very beneficial organiza- tion, which tries to become involved in projects to benefit the school. National Honor Society has operated a book- store with books at a discount rate. However, the mem- bers voted to discontinue it due to the fact that in recent years very few students took advantage of the services offered. The members were considering such projects as tutoring and possibly selling yearbook covers for the 1981- 82 school year. During the Spring of 1981, 36 juniors were initiated into the National Honor Society. Out of these 36, the officers were elected. The officers include Larry Holder, President; Sue Burnett, Vice-President; Kim Evans, Treasurer; and Mary Brandt, Secretary. The National Honor Society is very beneficial to the members in the future because they are able to refer to the organization on college and job applications. Howev- er, as Helen Veloff was quick to point out, Members of the National Honor Society should be concerned with more than a line on a college application. They should sincerely try to be of service to their school. Seniors Pam Stavely and Gail Poole said, We feel that being accepted into the club is an honor and a reward for our friends and ourselves, because all of the hard work we ' ve put into school is being recognized.

Var- ious students joined the club in order to learn all about photography. DeeMana Spudich, the club sponsor, instructed the students on the proper techniques for the cameras and the darkroom. The club had no specific meeting days, but they managed to meet as often as possible. The students who became advanced in the procedure and demonstrated superior quality in their pictures were asked to join the yearbook staff. However, due to a lack of ex- perienced photographers, Nick and Norman Mangoff, of Hollywood Andrews, were needed for many of the pictures taken. The officers of the club were Todd Goodrich, President; An- gela Grupas, Vice President; Kim DeGonia, Sec- retary; and Nancy Nolan, Treasurer. Text by KIM DEGONIA OFF TO WORK The Future Secretaries Association met once a month, this year to raise money for the annual field trip. The group, consisting of 28 girls, includ- ing the sponsor Mrs. Pat Rich. We raised mon- ey by selling glass mugs, photo albums, and calendars,” remarked Dana Wood. During the scheduled meeting, guest speak- ers arrived and presented to the interested business women, possible jobs and career plans. A court reporter, Mary Kay cosmetic representative and a Certified Public Secretary attended the meetings,” commented Mrs. Pat Rich. To become involved in this club, the student must have taken three business courses, have a C average and be at least a junior. At the conclusion of the school year, a banquet was held where Miss FSA and Jr. FSA were chosen and commemorated.

The club was smaller in number than usual, but that didn ' t stop the foreigners from being an active club. The members of the club make up alittle bit of Spain, France and Germany. Senior Kim DeGonia stated, I enjoyed being a member because I got to meet with students who were interested in other cultures. John Sellmeyer, sponsor remarked, The at- tendance at meetings was small, but the club still tried to raise enough money for the spring trip. The trip, in past years, consisted of foreign language members and various Spanish class students. Hard work, fund raising, and after- school meetings all proved worth while at the end of the school year.

Todd Goodrich, Mary Jenkins, Traci Condovich, Angela Grupas, and Gail Frazier attended the three-day affair, that consisted of movies, slide shows, and completing a 40 page yearbook with a staff of over 200 able bodied journalists and photographers. I think the trip was very beneficial for all of us, especially the new members,” remarked Todd Goodrich. Mrs. DeeMana Spudich, year- book sponsor, attended the camp and was seen around snapping pictures. Connie Grupas accompanied Mrs. Spudich and learned the fundamentals of photography well enough to receive the Star Student Award. The sessions lasted until the wee hours, as the deadlines crept up on the steady workers. As the trip came to a close, the yearbook staffers were full of ideas and ready to go to work — only one problem — school would not start for another two months. Then school resumed and the ideas learned at camp were popping up in the new year- book. The 1981-82 yearbook staff included, Todd Goodrich, editor. Traci Conkovich and Mary Jenkins, assistant editors. Seniors Angela Grupas, Nancy Nolan, Kim DeGonia, and Gail Frazier. Juniors included Dana Wood, Gina Gra- ham, and Chris Peterson. Yearbook was not fun and games. People had to be interviewed, copies, and captions written, pictures taken and developed, designs formed and then all of these pieces had to be placed together like a puzzle. Everyone had their part to do and if not done correctly, the editor made sure that it was. Deadlines seemed to arise when pictures were not yet developed or a layout could not be located, or in the middle of Christmas vaca- tion, or during Final Week. At that time, type- writers were clicking, pictures were being iden- tified and staff members could be heard say- ing, Can anyone help me think of a title. Quick!” At the end of February, a new editor was named and the process for the spring sec- tion began. A new staff was chosen for the upcoming year and new plans were ex- changed. All this hard work was not done in vain. When the product began to take form, smiles were present on every staff member. The finished product was produced by ten hardworking and creative student.

My staff and I spent many long hours assembling this book, and hope you enjoy it. I would like to thank DeeMana P. Spudich for allowing me the chance to make changes ana for all the much needed assistance she pro- vided. I would also like to thank Traci Conko- vich and Mary Jenkins for assisting me in editing and for all their support. I would also like to thank the entire staff for their help. I want to wish Chris Peterson all the best next year and hope her staff is as cooperative as mine has been. We ' ve had our problems along the way, but I think the staff worked together to complete an outstanding yearbook. Todd Goodrich, 1982 Editor 1.
