A few years after that, a group of Penn- sylvanians boarded flatboats at West Virginia and drifted down the Ohio. They landed in St. Louis, but settled in sand-prarie land about six miles inward on the Illinois side of the Missis- sippi. They gave the name of Six Mile Prarie to their settlement of a few cabins. The year was 1817. By the time Illinois became a part of the Union on December 3, 1818, Madison County had 5,256 inhabitants and an acreage of 15,650 square miles. In the late 1850 ' s and during the Civil War, Six Mile Prarie became the home of scores of German immigrants who purchased much of the land. A man named Calvin Kinder was partly re- sponsible for one of the name changes of Six Mile Prairie. He was a prosperous farmer in the area and soon Six Mile Prairie was called Kinder Station, in respect to his success. About this time, the townspeople decided to construct a district schoolhouse. Mr. Kinder suggested that they construct a build- ing that could be used as a school and church. So, in 1858, a two-story structure was built, (the present site of Emerson School) Several years after that, industrialists F. G. and William F. Niedringhaus began their in- dustrialization idea of Granite City. The family was already well-known in St. Louis for their manufacturing of light-weight kitchen uten- sils. William F. Niedringhaus purchased 3,500 acres of land in Kinder Station in 1892. By 1893, he hired St. Louis ' s city engineer to lay out plans for a city. He filed the plat on May 20, in Edwardsville, the county seat. Also in 1893, the Post Office opened with ).S. Chase as the first postmaster, lames McRoberts patented a process for casting steel in green sand, a discovery that revolu- tionized the industry. Granite City was on it ' s way. The town site occupied what had been the corn field of William E. Barco. Each block was divided into lots 50 feet wide. Longitudinal streets ex- tended northeast and southwest in gridiron fashion, except Niedringhaus Avenue. It ran due east and west. Niedringhaus Avenue had the added dis- tinction of being the only street with a formal name; the others were given numbers or let- ters of the alphabet. Some of the major streets were renamed later and became known as Cleveland, Delmar, Grand, State, Madi son, etc. Several industries were established in 1894- the American Steel Foundries, the (now ex- tinct) Markle Lead Works, the St. Louis Stamp- ing Works (of Illinois), and the Granite City Steel Plant. The word granite was chosen to commemorate the principal product of gran- ite-ware. Because the Niedringhauses believed that good living conditions for the people who worked in their plants were essential to sound industry, they donated property on which churches, schools, a hospital, a Y.M.C.A., and other civic buildings were built. In laying out the town, they planted 14,000 trees, built 100 houses, made provisions for sewers, built a water works and a gas plant. They employed Professor L.P. Frohardt, gra- duate of Central Wesleyan College at Warren- ton, Missouri as the city ' s first teacher. Others employed were Miss Cassie Listman, Miss Emma Pettingill (Mrs. Petrie), and Mr. Grans. Also in the late 1890 ' s, the Niedringhaus brothers built a cross levee at a cost of one thousand dollars to protect the town from floods. A small Negro colony built their homes along the levee. A group of Magyars 1 settled an area on the west side ot town, soon to be referred to as Hungary Hollow. The influx of immigrants eager for work in industry continued. So, by the 1900 ' s, Granite City was a husky thriving place, a new bonanza for merchants and steelworkers. The mills hummed 24 hours a day and money jingled in every Granite Cityan ' s pocket. But soon a quick housing shortage devel- oped for Granite City ' s 3,122 inhabitants. Even sleeping rooms were scarce. Many single men lived in saloon-boarding houses. These estab- lishments carried unforgettable names such as the Yellow Dog, the Blue Goose, and the Big Four. Workers also resided in various rows of flats and cottages known as Big Six, Little Six, Big Ten, Ink Bottle Row, and the Fifty Brick. In the summer of 1901, lots were sold in a new subdivision called West Granite. In that same year, two new schools augmented the educational system, one near the levee for the blacks, and one for the whites on the west side of the tracks, near Lincoln Place. Viola Jones was Granite City ' s first black teacher; later a housing project was built which carried her name. In the spring of 1903, the Mississippi River rose suddenly. Pumps ran 24 hours a day to keep the siep water down. But on June 3, the pumps broke, and areas surrounding Granite City suffered severe flooding. Granite City itself remained comparatively dry except for the west end of town across the railroad tracks. Dr. Robert W. Binney made house calls dur- ing the great flood in a row boat. He also performed the first operation in the new St. Elizabeth Hospital. Dr. Binney was known as the Dean of our Physicians. Free mail delivery came about in 1906. The 2 year 1907 brought a Depression and Hungary Hollow became known as Hungry Hollow. In November of 1910, the McKinley Bridge was opened. It was named after the U.S. Senator of Illinois, W.B. McKinley. In the spring of 1911, Dr. F. E. Tully acquired a new combination touring, outing, and sleeping car. It had the speed of 40 horsepow- er, had its own electric clock, grademeter, pathfinder, and speedometer. Also in 1911, the Washington Airdome was built. It gave Granite City an outdoor theatre which allowed playgoers to remain comfort- able as well as entertained on the hot summer nights. St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital opened in the same year. It was operated by the Sisters of St. Fran- cis. It was previously known as the Lutheran hospital. The year 1912 brought an experiment with the 8-hour work day. It also brought about an increase in hourly wages. Between 1905 and 1915, three schools were built. They were Logan, McKinley, and Gran- ite City High School. In 1921 the Granite City Park District formed and Wilson Park opened. It offered approximately 72 acres of recreational park area for Granite City residents. In 1929, the public library and City Hall buildings were built. The Federal Housing Project was approved in 1940 so that Kirkpat- rick Homes were built. The building project contained 150 dwelling units. Granite City and Nameoki merged into one corporation in 1950. This gave Granite City the largest population of the Tri-City complex with 41,000 inhabitants. Madison and Venice were the two other components of this prin- cipal, industrial area. Granite City was known as the Pittsburgh of the West. This was due to its metal pro- ducing capacity. Granite City covered a land area of 7.4 miles, and it ' s proud slogan was We are the Industrial Magnet of the West. Do to Granite City ' s rapid growth, it was selected as an All-American City. It achieved this award in 1959. At that time Granite City had 21 schools and 64 churches. Granite City ' s impressive Chain of Rocks ca- nal and dual locks system established the city as an important river terminal. In the 50 ' s and 60 ' s, industry gave Granite City a name that was nationally known. It re- presented millions of dollars in investments and exchanges. Some of it ' s industries includ- ed Granite City Steel Company; A.O. Smith Corporation; General Steel Industries, Com- monwealth Division; and Miles Laboratories, Incorporated Marshall Division. A.O. Smith Corporation recognized the growth potential in Granite City and in 1954 erected a 320,000 square feet modern auto- mobile frame assembly plant. In 1971 another 24,000 square feet was added to the plant. Miles Laboratories, Inc. became affiliated with Union Starch and Refining Company in 4 HISTORY OF GRANITE CITY October of 1966. It was the second largest plant within their corporation. On July 1, 1970, the Shasta Beverage Com- pany opened its doors. It was located on Highway 3. Another new industry moved to Granite City. An ample supply of good houses were avail- able to the people of Granite City. The resi- dential section near Wilson Park had homes priced within a range of $20,000 to $75,000. These homes were approximately 15 to 25 years old. The newer split-level homes sold from $22,000 to $45,000. Residents of Granite City could expect to pay anywhere from $87.50 per month to $150. if they wanted to rent an appartment. Price, of course, depended upon the facility, location, and square area. The area around Granite City grew rapidly also. The 630-foot Gateway Arch in St. Louis was completed in 1965, and the impressive Busch Memorial Stadium (home of the St. Louis baseball and football Cardinals) came along in spring of 1966. Also a few miles from Granite City was Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. S.I.U. Edwardsville was one of the fastest growing commuter universities in the nation. Students from Granite City could receive quality college education just a few miles away from home. Granite City ' s population was growing so rapidly that another high school had to be built to house the many secondary students. In 1973, North High School opened. Many of the students had to seperate from their close friends. James Dumont was principal at South and Gilbert Walmsley at North. The North students became known as the Steelers and South students were still the Warriors. For the next few years, everything went smoothly. Enrollment was still up in both schools and businesses in Granite City main- tained a good existance. But things didn ' t remain the same — even for this industrial town. Businesses began to close. The foreign car market invaded the U.S. The little cars with good gas mileage were advertised on television, radio, and maga- zines. With the price of gasoline soaring, the small cars looked very appealing. Also, with the high sales of small foreign cars, the Ameri- can automobile industry suffered. People were being layed off from many of the Granite City plants. With no jobs available to these skilled workers, families began moving out of town. They looked for other industrial areas in the U.S. where they could put their talents to good use. The late 1970 ' s were not good years for Granite City. The once prosperous A.O. Smith plant closed. The plant that manufactured modern automobile frames was no longer in operation. Granite City Steel was forced to cut it ' s staff. Union Starch closed. The plant that con- verted corn into products such as corn syrups and sugars, starches, corn oil, and gluten meal and feed closed it ' s doors. Granite City Steel began to decrease the number of workers needed to keep the plant in operation. The once heavily-employed American Steel closed its doors in 1982. More families moved out of Granite City. Moving families meant children moving out of the area. Less and less students were at- tending the schools. In the spring of 1979, three elementary schools were forced to close. They were Mc- Kinley, Stallings, and Washington. The enrollment still declined. Because of this, and increasing costs, the school board needed answers to many questions. To be or not to be, to close or not to close, to tax or not to tax? These were some of the questions that faced the school board. They gathered statistics on finance and enrollment, and studied the maintenance, upkeep and en- ergy costs of the district. On February 1, 1983, the board announced to the citizens of Granite City it was necessary to close more school buildings. The buildings scheduled to close were North High School, Prather Junior High School (to be operated as an elementary school), Emerson, Lake, Logan, Nameoki, and Johnson elementary schools. It would become one big high school again — no North and South. The junior high school students would attend Coolidge and Grigsby, and the elementary students attend- ing the schools due to close would be dis- bursed among other elementary buildings throughout the district. 3 Taxpayers voiced their ideas and opinions at several meetings. No teacher, student, or par- ent wanted their school to close. But there was no alternative. The graduating class of 1983 would be the last North and South class. Just as it was in the past, South would once again become Community High School. It would be a little more crowded in the halls, but the adjustment would have to be made. To successfully carry out this change, a combined effort of everyone would be neces- sary. 4 Granite City would still have one of the finest school systems in Illinois which would provide thorough and sound education for our children — whether it be in one or two high schools. Granite City, also, still had all the key elements necessary to producing another prosperous and industrial site here. Possibly if this combined effort was put to proper use, good fortune may once again be synonymous to Granite City — that Granite City would make a new beginning and that the most successful years in the history of this great city would still lie ahead.

Here at Granite City Hign School South, a student can talk to any one of nine teachers who have celebrated tneir silver an- niversary in the teaching profession. Much has changed since 1958 at South. Among one of those changes is the name of the high school itself. What is known as South” was once referred to as Granite City High school and also as Granite City Senior High School. Twenty-five years ago in the days of saddle oxfords, horn-rimmed glasses ana crew cuts, 1500 students attended this high school. The January and June graduates were in separate areas of the senior section of the yearbook. Miss Lucy Parrish was in charge of publishing the Warrior yearbook. Juniors sponsored the Senior Prom and attended an annual boat ex- cursion on the Admiral. The sophomore class of 1958 was the largest ever to enter Granite City High School. The freshman class was non-existant at this time for the ninth grade was located in Coolidge Junior High School. The 1958 Homecoming theme was Granite High Heaven. The Warriors defeated Pana 33-0 in the Thursday evening Homecoming football game. The Homecoming court con- sisted of Queen Gerry Spurrier and her two attendants, Judith Prewett and Cheryl Squires. May Day was presented by the Physical Education Department. The program, All in the Abstract, came to a close with the crowning of May Day Queen Peggy Wallace and her attendants Helen Hicks and Judy Carey. The sports uniforms may differ from those that are worn today, but the sports themselves were quite similar to those South has now - football, basketball, and baseball. However, soccer, hockey, and girls sports were not yet part of the athletic program. Lettermen jackets have retained their same style for 25 years. William Schmitt and Joe Fedora coached the wrestling Warriors. The previous year Granite City was run ner up in the state wrestling tournament. Another common name, Ricnard Harmon, was coach of the cross country team as he is today. Even though Coach Keitn Parker ' s football Warriors had one of their best seasons offensively and defensively, the final score was never in their favor, and they had a losing year. The Asiatic flu added insult to injury as it struck the team in the middle of the season. Fashions, hairstyles, activities, and sports may have been replaced over the years, but nine familiar faces are here today as they were 25 years ago. They are still here today with the same determination and love for teaching as they had when they began. i 1. Mr. Al Zebio worked as hard 25 years ago as he now does. 2. Miss Helen Kuenstler carefully checks the attendance. 8 25-YEARS � Teach ing has been a very inter- esting experience along with being very enjoyable. It has been said you learn from your ex- periences and the same goes with teaching. When I came to Granite I expected one year to be good. I ended up staying 28 years. There has been a lot of talk of how kids have changed in the last 25 years, but I don ' t think so. I think the kids are as nice as ever. I have enjoyed my 29 years of coaching at Granite City South. I have many memories I will cherish all of my life. 25-YEARS 9 A quarter of a century sounds like a long time, but it really isn ' t. I feel as if I have taught half the people in Granite City. In many in- stances, I have taught all the members of a family. I can say, without reservation, that working with people has been very satisfying and that I have never been bored one day. “It’s been fun, but a lot of hard work! Yes, I have seen many changes in students, particularly in attitude, but there are still plenty of fine, eager students to teach.” I can remember when teachers sponsored classes and held class parties. When I began teaching, the 8th grade was in the building. I miss the closeness, and the family-like relation between the faculty. The teachers lived in Granite City, now they are spread out. It has been a good place to work. Teaching is an enjoyable career, but after 32 years I think it ' s time to quit. 10 25-YEARS The first few years I taught at Granite South were rather enjoyable. Then came the stu- dent caliber change. I guess you can say that teaching is like marriage, it ' s for better or for worse. “I have enjoyed working with students. That may sound a bit trite, but it is ab- solutely true. Yes, there have been changes, but im- portant changes, no. Hair became longer then it got shorter. Basically I have en- joyed teaching.” Teaching has been good. would not have stayed for 25 years or let alone for the 29 years I have stayed unless I did not enjoy my work. There have been disappointments over the years, but of course that is all a part of life. It has been an enjoyable period of my life. 25-YEARS 11 AT BAT 1 BALL STRIKE OUT BUSCH 3 1.

The enthusiastic peo- ple rocked the stadium with cheers and whistles as the last world series game of 7 was about to begin. The devoted supporters were restless after beating the Brewers 13-1 the pre- vious night. Many stayed after the sixth game in order to camp out in the line that encircled the stadium. This was to assure them of a ticket for the final game. It was obvious that not only the fans were enthused. All of the Cardinal heroes thundered out onto the field one by one as they were introduced. As Ozzie Smith went to his second base position at the start of the game, he did a back flip. The final game was on its way. In the early innings, the Cardinals squandered opportunities against Brewer Pete Vucko- vich. Finally, the Cardinals got one run in the fourth on singles by Willie McGee, Tom Herr, and Lonnie Smith. The Brewers tied the score in the fifth inning with a home run. Then the Brewers used a little Whitey Ball to move ahead in the sixth inning. Milwaukee led 3-1, but only for a little while. Ozzie and Lonnie singled and doubled successfully to left field. Keith Hernandez singled to right field sending home the tying runs. By this time, the crowd was going wild. Hendrick then hit a single to right sending home the run to pull ahead to 4-3. Lonnie Smith opened the 8th inning. Hernandez was walked deliberately and Hendrick flied out. Porter lined a single to right field scoring Lonnie. Brauns singled to right and sent Hernandez home, giving the Cardinals a 6-3 lead. With three fast outs made by the Brew- ers, the 1982 series was over. The Cardinals were WORLD CHAMPIONS. Fans rushed to the field. It became a field of red. Fireworks exploded overhead. The whole world was looking at St. Louis. Outside the stadium, Brewers pennants were burned, while anything containing the word Cardinal or World Series sold for no less than $5.00. Screams of delight poured from miles around the stadium as the celebration be- gan. The Cardinals were now the World Champions for the first time since 1964. by Chris Peterson 1.

They had the coaches and the ability to make it happen, but they also needed one more important ingredient. Fans were that special ingredient. It was something to play the game, but to have hundreds of fans cheering you on as you sped down the field, made it over- whelming. The fans sat in the stands up in Northfield, Illinois all huddled together rooting for their Soccer Warriors. Blan- kets, thermals, hats and gloves helped keep them warm from the frigid condi- tions. After the games, the fans dispersed to the several local hotels and peeled off their layers of clothing. Many activities could be found throughout the area. Many people went to other ' s hotel rooms and some could be found in the hall. People brought plenty of food and necessities for the soccer weekend. Jubilant cheers could be heard in the hotels Saturday night because South had won the championship game. All the fans gathered at the Holidome in Skokie and waited for the players to come join them in celebration. The fans were as excited as was the team. There was plenty of excite- ment in the air that night and it lasted till the early morning. When the soccer team returned home on Sunday, the fans were there to greet them. Cheering them on as they exited the bus, the fans assembled in the gymnasium to listen to the comments from the play- ers, the coaches, Principal James Dumont and other distinguished guests. The play- ers thanked the coaches and also the play- ers on the team, but mostly they thanked someone else for their support. The Fans! by Lori Forrest STATE FANS 15 As we entered the 80 ' s, many Americans began to worry about their health. Many turned off the television and hit the out- doors, others simply quit eating those mid- night snacks. America had begun its full swing into physical fitness. Health spas containing saunas and body- building equipment began to prosper. Aerobic classes began to swell with people of all ages. Across the country, Richard Simmons soon became a common house- hold word. People pulled on their sneak- ers and started to bike or walk to their destinations. Jogging became a fad. Americans were obsessed with the idea of running. Many wore the stylish headband and sweatbands as they jogged with a group of people or executed it on their own. As people began to pull the tape mea- sure around their waists, they turned to better eating habits. Salads were substitut- ed for the fast-food hamburger, while yo- gurt and granola grew in demand. People began to take a long look at themselves in the mirror and decided their diet and health were their number one priorities. It was a decade loaded with new ideas, new fashions and new health. by Lori Forrest 16 PHYSICAL FITNESS DO ' S AND DON ' TS 1. DON ' T plunge into a program all at once. Ease into it or it will cause more problems than it solves. 2. DON ' T limit fitness to just the gym, exercise room or track field. 3. DON ' T think it takes a big fortune to start a program. Many exercises can be done without any equipment at all. 4. DON ' T expect immediate results. A good program pays off over a long period of time. 5. DON ' T start a program unless you are really sold on it. A good effort must be made before any results are seen. 1. DO try to get your family or friends to par- ticipate with your. The time and effort will seem minimal if you are with someone else. 2. DO make sure you are sufficently fit to start a program. Check with your doctor. 3. DO stick with it. 4. DO have patience. 5. DO realize that fitness is an all-day effort. Learn to sit correctly, to lift items correctly, and to stand properly. PHYSICAL FITNESS 17 1.

Some businesses were looking for part-time help, while others requested full-time employ- ees. After filling out the application, questions often ranged from How much is the pay? to How long are the hours? When the school term had ended for the summer, many students began to work at their place of employ- ment. Other students took the summer as rest and relax- ation time. Getting up early to open up or working until midnight to close-up was never experienced by the sum- mer ' s unemployed. Summer jobs varied greatly. Many were employed at a fast-food restaurant, while others were taking in the sun on lifeguard duty. Park jobs were often filled by high school students by umping a ball game or mowing the grass. Summer jobs often had there ups and downs. Fun was involved in the work, but chaos is stirred in also. When asked about the ice cream business, Dana Wood replied, People tell you it ' s to go after you have made it up. Future careers are often taken into consideration in the search for a summer job. Secretarial jobs were filled by students majoring in business. Becky Jackson com- mented, I received a lot of experience from my job. The pay wasn ' t bad either. After the summer was over, many students quit their jobs in preparation for the school year. Others some- times held on to their job as long as possible. Working for a boss was a rewarding experience. It prepared a stu- dent for the business-world after graduation. by Lori Forrest 18 SUMMER JOBS i 7 1. Cosmetology students.

SUMMER JOBS 19 alculators And c omputers The computer age — it ' s taking over in Granite City. Everywhere you look there seems to be new, computerized machinery designed t o make everyday life a little ea- sier. Each system is bigger and better than the next, and it ' s amazing what these ma- chines can do. City offices, banks, and even your favorite fast food restaurant are installing these new technogical devices. They are even present at South High School. Granite City is keeping right in step with these high technology advancements. South owns several Apple II computers, and there are classes offered on operating these machines. These classes provide an informative in- troduction to the world of computers. Stu- dents are taught to operate and program these machines to perform a number of var- ious functions. There is some hope, however, for those of us who are not ready to become comput- er programmers or technicians. Calculators are considered mini computers. The best thing about this is you do not have to take a class to learn to operate one. You only need one finger. by Patty Burch i 1. A student demonstrates how to operate a com- puter. 2.

Persons with phobias become over- whelmed in fear. If they are kept in a situa- tion with their phobia, they sometimes panic and begin to cry. A common meth- od used to treat phobias is psychoanalysis. This is an examination of the mind to dis- cover mental causes for the phobia. The location is sometimes related to the phobia. A person can have claustrophobia, which is a fear of confined space, or agora- phobia, which is a fear of a large or open space. There are many types of phobias which include astraphobia, a fear of thun- derstorms, hydrophobia, a fear of water, zoophobia, a fear of animals and nycto- phobia, a fear of dark. Some phobias seem quite ridiculous to others. There are those who have a tear of tear, which is phobo- phobia, and others that have a fear of the French or France, which is Francophobia. Phobias can be mild or very dangerous. Some people can laugh at a person ' s fear of height or space, but they are just laugh- ing at themselves. Everyone has a fear of one thing or another. It is an emotion. It is a part of us. Some students were questioned about their greatest fear, and there were many different replies. Ellen Pistone replied, that she had a fear of the dark. The fear of being alone at night was Gina Graham ' s comment. A fear of heights was Patty Burch ' s greatest fear and she was not alone. Many others answered that that was their greatest fear too. It was very easy to find one ' s greatest fear because it is often lodged in the mind and can not be forgot- ten. by Lori Forrest 4 1.

L : 24 SPRING 1982 When the school year begins to come to a close, students regain the fever to become in- volved in the activities at school. Several students spent the winter getting in shape. Meanwhile, oth- ers were rehearsing their lines for the spring play. For elegance, there was the prom. The oth- er tradition of elegance was May Day. With all of the girls dressed in spring colors, they ad- ded more of a touch of spring to the occasion. Although homecom- ing was not in the spring, it was a special way to start the school year. The Homecoming week was unforgettable with the play GREASE, and the Queen and King, Amy Dillard-Part- ney and Phil Dudak. In this section lies memories not to be for- gotten of Spring and Fall 1982. by Chris Peterson SPRING 1982 THREE UP-THREE DOWN by Gina Graham Entering the Warrior season, the 1982 Baseball team were up against many highly competative teams. With many long, frus- trating games, the Warriors finished the sea- son with a 15-18-1 record. Baseball is a sport which exhibits players individual talents. The 1982 Baseball team proved that ten individuals can form into one highly skilled team. Since almost all of the previous letterman were returning, any spectator could recog- nize an experienced and determined group of boys. Many of the players could switch and play any position needed. The starting position at the pitchers mound could be a mystery to some, since the team had several qualified players. Domi- nic Griffin, George Diak, and Tom Newton displayed their pitching arms sufficiently; while captains Rick Daily and Schnefke also played to their fullest potential at any posi- tion needed. Although every player played an impor- tant role concerning tne field play, the play- ers and coaches elected two highly deai- cated captains. Joe Schnefke and Rick Daily led the team to many victories and glorious times. The two players held many responsi- bilities; such as boosting spirits, easing tenses, and encouraging the players. The statisticians provided accurate records on the players batting and pitching. Senior stats Traci Conkovich, Stephanie Shank, and Lana Rice, attended every game possible to encourage the boys to victory. Some games lasted from after school until dark ana not a dull minute took place. The players who sat on the bench concentrated on the game while others were busy chew- ing their tobacco. Although the season bare- ly missed a winning record, the boys still gave their best and deserved their victories. Dominic Griffin, captain of the 1983 Baseball team, predicts, I am looking forward for a good season. Although we play very competative opponents, knowing my fellow teammates, I am sure with the help of their dedication we will attempt to dominate the Baseball program. 26 BASEBALL 2 1.

Even though the boys did not have entertainment to look forward too, they struggled through a long season which con- tained many unforgettable experiences. The 1982 Baseball team travelled all the way to Kentucky to play in a tournament. When they reached their destination, they only found muddy fields from the rain storms, which resulted in a rained out tour- nament. The Kentucky players hosted the boys for the night and the following morn- ing, the boys returned home, only to begin practice. Junior John Linhart replied, Travelling and staying with a player from another team was a great experience. You meet new friends and get introduced to their commu- nity. The next travelled event took place in our home town. Each player housed one player from Benet Academy in Chicago during South ' s baseball tournament. Captain, Rick Dailey provided some entertainment for their guests during this occasion with the use of his foosball tables and surroundings. Next year, South ' s baseball team will travel on many long trips and will host a visiting team during our tournament. Dominic Griffin stated, Housing players was alright. We played the games, then had a great time at Rick Daily ' s parties. It seems as though this 1982 team was ob- sessed with chewing tobacco. Every game almost all of the players had a mouth full of the tobacco. When player John Linhart was asked about tobacco, he replied, Only a few brave ones seriously chaw. Most of us chew tobacco to try to look tough or to be able to shoot at fellow teammates ' s shoes. It is ru- mored that Coach Stan Wojick started this Granite City South tradition. The team had many great times during the season and are looking forward to an even better one next year. The team promoted a theme song, My Baby ' s on Fire, and would like to thank the left field bleacher bums. Phil Dudak states, All the players are looking forward to a great season next year. We ' ll be well coached in the mechanics of baseball and we ' ll be in the ball game for all seven innings. More fans should come to watch some of our games. BASEBALL 29 2 1 IT ' S A FULL COUNT by Dana Wood Softball is a sport in which not just one person is a hero. It takes all nine players to make the team successful. The players must learn to work with each other and back each other up. When the players are on the field, they must communicate with their other teammates to make the right plays. If a play has failed, you must proceed in the game by correcting your errors. Softball can be played in the spring, sum- mer and fall of the year. The Granite City South team selects to play in the spring of each year. Fast-pitch softball has recently arrived at Granite City South and is running along smoothly. The 1982 Lady Warrior Softball team could be catagorized as a rebuilding team. Since the Varsity team only had 3 let- termen returning, the majority is young and inexperienced. Thi s factor did not stop the fighting Warriors. Many players showed outstanding work and hustle throughout the season. Freshmen Michelle Stags proved to be a success at the pitcher ' s mound, while Vicki Smith displayed her quick reaction plays. Everyone contri- m buted to their fullest potential which set the mighty Warriors for a determined victory. Although the 1982 team did result in a losing record, the girls did have alot of fun. The games and bus rides were definitely ex- citing to the girls. In viewing other high school competitive teams, most programs have been underway for quite some time and is more developed than Granite City South. The 1983 Softball team has great hopes. Since almost all the players should be return- ing, the team ' s outlook should result in an experienced, hard working, group of girls. Dotie Smith remarks, I think that sof tball is really a fun sport. I play during the spring and I also play slow-pitch during the summer months. 30 SOFTBALL 1.

SOFTBALL 31 RUN FOR TIME by Dana Wood Track is the oldest competitive sport on re- cord and has been at South for many years. Hours of practice every spring makes the track team successful. You must be competi- tive individually in track. Although there were not many spectators, the team members prac- ticed nightly by running sprints, long dis- tances, and stairs. Not everyone would devote their time to run such long distances each night. The track team at South was deter- mined, and took each day as a new day. Trackmen have learned to set their goals high and work hard to achieve them. In track you should expect success or you won ' t suc- ceed. Approximately seventy-five boys and girls tried out to make the 1982 track team. Much time and effort was put together by the track team to have a winning season. The team members also had to have good attitudes to- ward each other so they could work together and give support to each team member. The 1982 track team was very young this year. But as they worked together, they pro- gressed at each meet. Even though the track team needed more sprinters, they had a very good distance group. The distance group consisted of Dave McLain, Steve Dumont, Ron Brown, and Jim McQuaide. These boys were known as the best in the area for dis- tance running. Dave McLain was known as the best two miler and miler in the area. He was also known as the fourth best in state. Awards were given out to three valuable track members. Dave McLain received the Most Valuable member, Ron Brown received the Most Improved and Steve Dumont was awarded Best Effort. Mel Bunting expresses, There should be more appreciation and support for track and field people. They do more work for less recognition than any other sport in the world. 32 BOYS TRACK 3 1.

BOYS TRACK 33 RUNNERS TAKE YOUR MARKS by Gina Graham The tension mounds as the girls track team awaits for the official to begin the starting procedures. As the sound of the gun echoes through the track, the Warriors spring from the starts and dash to the finish lines. While the gun was continually fired, the shot and disc girls remained in concentration in order to out throw their opponent. When looking on the other side of the track, one could vision girls leaping into the air, competing in their long and high jump events. The track scene is always busy with main events going on at the same time. Each girl can participate in three events, which means running all over trying to pre- pare for each event. Trish Skinner remained very competitive throughout the season holding the first position in the running long jump, entering a running event in the 440, and performing in the team relays. In the 1982 season, the long distance group was led once again by Junior Mary Romine. She competes in the one and two mile race, and some team relays. Mary could be called an asset to the girls track program. Her long distance running remained very consistant in every race and she finished in the lead most of the time. Junior Mary Romine stated, I had a really good year running distance. Although it was mainly based on self-determination and work, members of the team cheered me to many victories. Most of the meets are tri and dual, but the most important ones are the invitationals. These meets gives the girls experience in competing against sometimes over sixteen teams. South ' s track team again travelled to Champaign to compete in an indoor track meet. Coach McClain adds, Travelling to different schools and competing in various meets alone gives a person a sense of self- achievement. The track program is enjoyed by all! Coach McClain awarded many trophies to outstanding players. Junior Mary Romine re- ceived best distant, Junior Trish Skinner clenched most valuable, and Freshman Lisa Adams awarded outstanding Freshman. Although many girls go out for the track team, it is mainly consisted of underclass- men. As the years go by, a person notices the Seniors dropping, and the Freshmen rising. Coach McClain adds, Overall, the 1982 girls team finished very well and I ' m looking for- ward to greater goals next year. Trish Skinner adds, Track is not only competative for me, but it is also exciting. One minute I am long jumping and then the next minute I am in the starting position getting ready for a race. There ' s never a dull minute, and besides, track keeps me in shape! 34 GIRLS TRACK 2 1.

Before the season even began, the team jogged the park and sprinted around the track daily, the coaches always came prepared for the practices with a daily schedule of exercises, work-outs, and then the warm down. Track ' s the most individual sport in all of the extra-curricular activities. Being a part of track allows you the time to be your own self. You must totally prepare yourself for track because it is a sport you cannot jump into. It requires hours of practicing and consign- ing. Much time is spent relaxing and sooth- ing your aching muscles. As sand flies in the air, starts are gunned, shots are thrown, and the distant runners jog to their destination. For the past few years, the track program has been with the boys and the girls together. As a group, the boys and girls warmed up, then jogged out to the track. They usually started the practice with a slow iog, a few starts, then a couple of sprints. Tne distant girls and guys took off to North, the Depot, etc. Many times the weight group lifted weights to prepare for shot and disc throw- ing. The practices are ran very smoothly and were usually dismissed at 4:40 to 5:00 each evening. In running a meet, everyone helps setting up the hurdles, the high jump mats, the starts, and the finish lines. The team cheers everyone on to the last event. Everyone likes to start out with their mind on victory, but sometimes you are left with- out that satisfied feeling. At each new meet you have to give it everything that you have. Finding yourself out in front of the field of runners is the most exciting thing in track. You psyche yourself up and tell yourself you must win. Track runners use a combination of speed and endurance. At times you feel as though your legs might give way or your lungs mignt collapse at any minute; but you push on. Your mind is on the runner a pace behind ou. As you cross the finish line and are ugged by the other team members, it is then you realize track really is a rewarding sport. Girls head coach Dave McClain states, There are many young athletes that compete in track. The Varsity team is composed of mainly freshmen. I am very proud of my girls and have a lot of fun coaching. Next year in the 1983 season, every one should be well-prepared and experienced to achieve a successful record. GIRLS AND BOYS TRACK 37 LOVE OF THE GAME by Dana Wood On e who plays tennis should present his- self as an actor. His nerves may be on edge but he has to appear to his challengers to be calm and under control. A tennis game con- sists of entire moving and concentration upon the ball and your opponent. Tennis is a game that all ages can play, but it requires devotion. Your effort and skills racticed together help you to become a etter and more experienced tennis player. Practicing throughout the spring the team indicated their enthusiasm and desire to win. I ' ve been playing tennis for several years. I enjoy practicing year round, not only for en- joyment, but also to improve my skills. In a ame of tennis, I let all my determination and ard work come out toward winning my match. remarked John Menendez. All of the enthusiastic boys who came out to play tennis made the squad. No one was cut unless they cut themselves. This gave them a chance to play and show their ability. The 1982 boys tennis team was not quite a smash this year. Even though they had some very good players on the squad, they were the only second losing squad in the last 27 years. Tne team was quite young this year but there was an advantage to that. Next year they will have the same squad plus they will welcome many new players. There will only be one senior, John Menendez, on the squad next year. Junior, Billy Forrest, com- ments, I hope to get to play more varsity next year ana more than anything I want to acquire more playing time. Overall ' Richard Harmon comments, Tennis players are made during the summer and winter seasons. If my players play during the season, we will have a good team next year. 38 BOYS TENNIS 1.

All this was for the 1982 spring play, Shenendoah. Performances of the play could be seen on either April 29, 30, or May 1. Directed by Beverley Scroggins and chor- eographed by Margaret Pennell, the play was set in the Shenendoah Valley during the Civil War. Musical numbers performed were under the direction of Mary Ann Bright. A special thanks was extended to Ronald Pennell for his appearance in the production. The stage crew worked between each act and changed the sets and lighting to best fit the performers ' needs. They quietly worked behind the scenes and accom- plished their job without anyone knowing what was going on backstage. Beverley Scroggins commented, ' ' They ' re a good group. Much credit for the play ' s success was given to this talented stage crew and their director, Mrs. Scroggins. The band was under the direction of Jo- seph Owens. This talented group also was given credit to the play ' s successful perfor- mance. The main characters in the play were per- formed by Bill Petrovich, Kelly Stolz, John Rutledge, and Randy Dunn. Some of these students have had the opportunity to per- form on South ' s stage many times before. This may have contributed to their excel- lent performances. The star performers as well as their sup- porting cast was slightly saddened at the closing of the play. They knew that this would be the last play of their high school years and the last time they would perform together. by Lori Forrest SPRING PLAY 41 MEMORIES The high school dream of almost all girls came true on the evening of April 16, 1982. Much preparation went into tne evening. Those who wanted to go that did not have a steady, had to find a date. Many went together as friends wanting a good time. Six to eight weeks before, dresses and tuxes were ordered and fitted. Flowers cho- sen to match. Tickets were bought from student council at $25 a couple. Tne much anticipated evening would soon be here. On the Wednesday before the big night, there was a meeting held for all of the prom participants. Principal James Dumont dis- cussed the attire and behavior of the stu- dents and their dates. He was assured that there would be no problems. Since the prom was on a Friday, the girls were dismissed from their classes at 1:00 and the guys at 3:00. This time was used for those last-minute preparations, such as catching those last minute rays from the sun, ana washing the cars. Countless numbers of couples left their homes a few hours earlier to make visiting rounds, and arrive in time to have their pic- ture taken. As the tables and chairs of the Meridian Ballroom at SIU were filled, the evening was underway. The luscious buffet was quickly devoured by the students. Later in the evening, everyone danced their favorite dances to the sounds of Nickel. As the clock struck twelve, not everyone wanted to head home, for they were sure their cars would not turn into pumpkins. Instead, the rest of the evening was spent dining at restaurants such as, Charlie ' s, Rob- ert E. Lee, Bell Angeline, Sonny Char ' s, and Stouffers. Many were not hungry, and went to prom parties at the homes of friends, or at a nearby Holiday Inn. As the sun was rising the following morn- ing, many were on their way home from an unforgettable evening that they would al- ways cherish. by Chris Peterson 42 PROM I.

The prom, is sponsored by student council, and is held for the juniors and sen- iors. The theme, voted on by the senior class was, Waiting For A Girl Like You by the popular group, Foreigner. Many would agree that April 16 was not an inexpensive evening. The southern-style dresses ranged anywhere from $75 to $300. Of course along with the dress, there had to be shoes, purses, and jewelry to match, which was an expense that was cast upon the parents of most. A majority of the guys wore tuxes, that rented for as much as $50. Along with tickets, dinner, and flowers, the cost for an escort and his date would tally up to about $200. Linda Bergfield agreed it was worth it, by commenting, I had a great time. It was a night I will always remember. On the other hand, Mike Bunjan commented, I had a good time, and I would do it again, but I ' m glad it ' s only a yearly occasion. It took many hours of work to acquire enough money to escort someone to the prom. Those who had a job could have asked for an advance, or worked extra hours. Some had to mow lawns, save lunch money, and wash cars to get enough mon- ey. Others just asked mom and dad. Although the evening was an expense for many, it was an enjoyable one for all. by Chris Peterson PROM 45 AUREVOIR SENIORS Weather permitting, commencement will be held on the football field , were the famous last words of Principal James Du- mont. Each year, around May, the question arises, Will it rain on graduation? Lucky for the class of 1982, it did not, and the ceremony was held June 3, at 8:00 on the football field. The stands filled quickly as the sun set. Pomp and Circumstance was played by the Granite City South Band as the students proudly held their heads high and marched to their seats. Going along with this all- American occasion, the Star Spangled Ban- ner was played. Singing this was Dynette Shrader. Rev. C. Dale Edwards gave the in- vocation, followed by James Dumont giving his traditional address. He told the students how proud he was of them, and how he hopes they succeed in their goals. For Mr. Dumont, there was something special about this year. Among the 369 graduating stu- dents, was his son, Steven. Salutatorian Carole Mitchell proudly gave her speech, We Are the Future to help students realize their rolls in society. Larry Holder, Valedictorian, helped all to recol- lect their past with his speech on Reflec- tions. Diplomas were handed to each student by the president of the Board of Education, George Moore, other board members, and the South administration. Following this was the Benediction was given by Rev. Milton Roe. Alma Matter was sang by Dynette Shrader. Ending the ceremony was the Coronation March by the band. For some, the evening was followed by a dinner with parents, and a gathering of rela- tives. For most it was an event not to be forgotten, and was followed by a night of celebration with fellow classmates. by Chris Peterson — 46 GRADUATION 1.

Taking her five-year-old son to his first day of kindergarten, 13 years ago, and leav- ing him crying, I dont wanna go to school! She could still see her son and his neigh- borhood friends building their first club- house from scrap wood, and playing base- ball in the empty lot across the street. She remembers how nicely he played with all his friends and how much fun they all had enjoying each others company. She tries to recall how long it had been since she had so lovingly cleaned and bandaged a skinned knee, of so sternly said, no , and adminis- tered a spanking. What would have made her then think that her messy little boy would ever be- come so handsome. When puberty came, she recollects ex- plaining to him the facts of life. He progressed through junior high meet- ing new friends, and having added privi- leges and responsibilities. How the mother thought her baby was grown when he entered Granite City South High in 1978. All of the activities he had participated in, that she had saved momen- toes from. She now sat watching her son receive his diploma he had so deservingly earned from the 13 years before. The mother visualized her son three months from this day, packing and getting ready to leave for college. In the shed of a tear, she murmured, I don ' t want him to go to school. It was then that she realized that her baby was now a man. — by Chris Peterson ” 6 GRADUATION 49 MAY DAY 1982 SHE ' S GOT A WAY Sue Burnett Angela Griffith Mary Brandt Angela Handlon Richele Pilch Angela Grupas 50 MAY DAY 1.

MAY DAY 5 TRADITION May 7, 1982 was a very special evening for May Day Queen, Angela Griffith, her court, and the senior class of girls. It began much before 7:00 as the partici- pants had to prepare for the evening. Friends, parents, and relatives arrived early to assure themselves a good seat. At precisely 7:00, the Granite City South Band played the traditional national an- them, and retiring Homecoming Queen, Sandy Mendoza walked down the aisle of empty chairs, and took her thrown for the last time to view the procession of girls walking in. Each one looked like a beautiful- ly wrapped package decorated with bows and ribbons. As the breath-taken crowd settled, the court was introduced. Chosen by their class to represent Granite City South were Mary Brandt, Sue Burnett, An- gela Grupas, Angela Handlon, Jane Lee, and Shelly Pilch. Chosen Queen by a majority of the students was Angela Griffith. The program was performed by many dif- ferent groups that volunteered to entertain. Laura Shanks commented, I have per- formed in May Day for three years, and I ' ve always enjoyed it. The presentation con- cluded with the customary senior dance di- rected by Linda Hill, and the singing of the theme, She ' s Got A Way , by Jeff Sharp. The most touching part ending in tears of good-bye, was the May Pole dance, and the Candlelight Ceremony. Beth Callis com- mented, The sad part was knowing that next year I won ' t be seeing my friends every day, but I ' m sure we will still remain close. May Day is a tradition of Granite City South that is always looked forward to an can never be forgotten. by Chris Peterson 52 MAY DAY 7 1. Rhonda Mikalus twirls to The Main Event . 2.

They originated the evening 55 years ago, and it has been tradition ever since. Of course in 1927 the girls looked a little different, but the idea was the same. To celebrate the coming of Spring, and estab- lish a bond of friendship between the sen- ior girls. Helen Veloff, a May Day organizer, commented, The only change over the years is the institution of the queen ' s father walking her down the aisle. This was the first year of that. The first May Day queen was Marion Thomas. She attended many of the follow- ing ceremonies throughout the years to show her unity to the occasion. In the early years of May Day, the girls would participate in the ceremony, and then celebrate by having a get-together at someones house with a date. In the 80 ' s, the girls consider it their evening, and after the ceremony, they go to eat at a restaurant, and then spend the rest of the night at someones house or at a hotel. They reminice of all of the good times the gang had. Shelly Pilch, a member of the court, commented, The best part of my high school years was being with my friends, and having a good time. How long will the idea of May Day last? It is a custom of Granite City South that can- not be broken. by Chris Peterson MAY DAY 57 2 1982 HOMECOMING COURT 1.

Homecoming Queen and King, Amy Dillard-Partney and Phil Dudak HOMECOMING 1982 63 SPIRIT WEEK The one week out of the year that all of the students participate in and show their school spirit is Homecoming week. On each day of the week, there was a theme of how to dress. One day was western day, while another was tacky day. The day most successful was Thursday, color day. Almost everyone wore red and black to symbolize that they were rooting for the Warriors. The week began on October 18, with the bonfire. A partial tradition. It seemed as though every 2 or 3 years it rains, and the bonfire was cancelled. This year went well, and everyone gathered at the football field that night to see the sacrificial burning of the op- ponents mascot. Tuesday was a soccer game against Collinsville, a rival of the Warriors. Of course it was won by South. Much of the student body went to the game al- though it was an away game. Later in the week, Wednesday and Thursday, was the Homecoming play, Grease, and the coronation of the Queen and King — Amy Dillard-Part- ney and Phil Dudak. Amy commented, It was an honor to even be on court, but I was shocked when I was an- nounced Queen. The court consisted of 10 girls and boys that were chosen by the senior class, and the Queen and King were voted by the student body. Friday afternoon was a Homecoming Parade that had many participants. Floats were designed and constructed by different clubs and organizations. The theme of the parade was Sink the Pirates. Many of the clubs showed their uniqueness by varying the theme. The week came to an end with the Football game. The Warriors were de- feated by the Hannibal Pirates. A lot of people participated in Homecoming 1982. It brought the stu- dents closer together, and was a suc- cess in the displaying of school spirit. by Chris Peterson 64 HOMECOMING 1982 1.

At precisely 7:30 p.m. the house lights were dimmed, the curtain opened, and the audience was swept back in time to 1959. For the evening, Granite City South was trans- formed into South Rydell High as the Speech Department, under the direction of Ron Pennell, present- ed the 1982 Homecoming play GREASE. It was performed on Oc- tober 20 and 21. The cast, clad in bobby socks, cuffed pants, and greased back hair, sang and danced to songs of the 50 ' s. GREASE was choreographed by Margaret Pen- nell and the musical numbers were directed by Mary Ann Bright. The story line of GREASE was that of a tough gang member, Dan- ny Zuko, falling for a new student, Sandy Dumbrowski. The parts of Sandy and Danny were played by Cheryl Thomason and Randy Dunn. Their relationship was trou- bled by Danny having to keep up his image and Sandy having to drop her innocent appearance and de- velop a new image as a member of the Pink Ladies. Strong perfor- mances were given by Melissa Pen- nell as Rizzo, the leader of the Pink Ladies, and John Rutledge as Ken- ickie, Danny ' s friend. As the curtain closed on the en- tire cast singing We Go Together the audience had a difficult time remembering they were in Granite City South ' s auditorium and not in New York witnessing the debut of GREASE on Broadway. by Ellen Pistone — i 66 HOMECOMING PLAY 8 1.

Each class had something special about it. The freshmen, or the Class of 86 were just beginning their high school years. They got their first taste of high school life. The freshmen, often taunted by the upper classmen, thought that they would never see the day that they would be seniors. Little did they know that day was soon to come. Freshman Scott Biason commented, Being one of the only freshman to play soccer, I was tor- tured alot by the upper classmen. The Class of 85 were the sopho- mores of 83. They were not yet half way through high school. Their big- gest excitement was getting their li- censes and using the family car on the weekends. Sophomore Phil Toth commented, I ' m glad my birthday was early, because I got my license before most everyone else. The Class of 84 spent their junior year deciding on a major, taking the ACT, and deciding what classes to take the following year. They didn ' t realize that their senior year would be there soon. Junior Kim Smith re- plied, I ' ve been thinking about what classes to take next year, and what colleges to apply for. The 430 members of the Class of 83 spent their senior year deciding what to do with their future. Would they go to school, get a job, or get married. They applied for jobs, and were accepted for colleges. Between thinking about their future and doing term papers, the seniors had good times with their friends. Since this was to be the last year of Granite City SOUTH it was special for everyone. It would be the last year for everyone to call themselves the GRANITE CITY SOUTH WARRIORS. by Chris Peterson 68 CLASSES CLASSES 4 5 1.

When it is mentioned, many think of the terms matter, energy and force. Others think of it as a very diffi- cult class having to do with science. When asked What is physics? senior Allison Boyd replied, v ' Pnysics is really challeng- ing. I feel it ' s preparing me for college. The term pnysics comes from a Greek word meaning nature. It tells why water freezes, how radio and tv work ana why a ball bounces. Since physics covers such a great range of ideas, there is no simple definition of this science. Physics is offered to any junior or senior student who has completed Chemistry 1 and 2. Any student completing the ad- vanced chemistry classes is able to take the m by Ellen Pistone and Lori Forrest advanced physics course available. Physics can be closely related with chemistry. They deal with the same material, but they observe that same material in different ways. If a student is partial to equations and graphs, Physics 1 and 2 is certainly for him. Taking a physics class is very beneficial to students wno are preparing to attend col- lege. College students, having attended South, often return to discuss problems with South ' s physics teacher, Mr. Whit- field. Taking science courses is the only way to be confident for those college courses. Physics is a science, a way of thinking. Hopefully, more students will come to ap- preciate what physics is. 70 PHYSICS 1. There seems to be an obstruction between Mi- chelle Jones and her physics book. 2.

PHYSICS 71 72 BUILDING TRADES Building trades (bil-ding trad)- A type of carpentry dealing with structural design and construction of various projects. The Building Trades class may not have been in the most elegant of classrooms, but it was uniquely located in the basement of Granite City South. A student may have spent quite some time before finding the large descending metal stairs that lead past pipes and furnace lines to the Building Trades classroom. The Building Trades program began elev- en years ago and was made up of juniors and seniors from both North and South. Mr. Larry King has taught the Building Trades class since its beginning and commented, In my eleven years, my students have gone into apprenticeship programs, earned jour- neymen status, gone into heavy equipment in the military, and many other positions, also. When the program first began, the Build- ing Trades classes made bookcases for the elementary schools. The class moved on to bigger and better things and began building houses. Since the first home was built ten years ago at Clark and Maryville Road, three other homes have been built with the com- pletion of a fifth house in June of 1983 on Colgate Drive. When they were not busy building houses, the students in the Building Trades classes worked on simpler projects. A doll house was constructed for the North Pom pon squad in order to send them to camp. Bulletin boards were made for the use of the department heads in their offices. A trophy case for the band was also among the past projects. One of the newer attrac- tions the class has built is the observation platform that is used during soccer games at South. Finally, the Building Trades class aid- ed the community in building backboards for the Granite City Fire Department for use on emergency victims. The Building Trades class was very pro- ductive. Any future building depends on the economy, home market, and interest rates. Very many skilled students have come out of this high school class in the past. by Ellen Pistone BUILDING TRADES 73 CLASS OF ' 83 For many seniors, walking down the long aisle approaching the stage to re- cieve their diploma was very scary and sad. After this diploma reached their hand, most were free to make their own decisions in life. Whether to con- tinue in college or obtain a job was up to them. Some may have left this excit- ing city and ventured into a world of many adventures. Some may have even got married and settled down to form a family. On the other hand, leaving high school could have been very sad. Some felt they may not see their friends for years. Others stayed in Granite City and remained social. If good friends cannot keep in touch by phone or mail, there ' s always the class reunions to look forward too. These reunions are organized by the elected class officers. They are in charge of making sure long lost friends will once again unite. by Gina Graham Mary Abernathy John Adams Brenda Allen Lori Allen Rhonda Anderson Amy Andrews Steven Andrews Kelly Ault Tracy Ball Jerry Barnes Troy Barnes Kristine Barnhart 74 CLASS OFFICERS SENIORS Ronald Barrios Timmy Bates Joy Bell Matthew Bellovich Linda Bergfield Mary Bisch Andrew Blackwell Charles Bohlman Sandy Zarlingo, Vice President, said, The senior class officers will do their best to make the Class of ' 83 re-unions the best ever!

The evenings are my time to relax. 76 CLASS INTELLECTUALS SENIORS i THINK AHEAD During the nine months of school, many Seniors were involved with various activities such as sports, weekend events, and just plain old fun. One thing that the students had to fit into their schedules was their homework. Even though it was hard to make time to do their various assignments, they always found a way. Since your Senior year was suppose to be your best, many Seniors worked hard in getting their studies done so they could enjoy a few hours of free time in the evenings. Study habits were quite different be- tween many students in the Senior class. Some studied in the library, while others studied at home or even found themselves studying between classes. Senior Kelly Ault added, “There ' s noth- ing like cramming for a test in the seven minutes you have between classes. I ' ve done it more than I could count. by Dana Wood — 1.

Book reviews killed me! 78 CLASS SPIRIT SENIORS Danial Churovich Tracy Clement Kristy Clinard Tammy Copeland Larry Cornet Dale Coryell Edward Cowley James Crews -THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS—. The end of school countdown soon be- gan after the Christmas holidays. Knowing that they were beginning their last semester of high school, the seniors were anxiously awaiting the activities that were ahead of them. With the end of school numerous weeks away came retrospective thinking. The first day of high school, weekend events and first boyfriends and girl friends were re- membered by the upcoming graduates. Activities were a great part of the senior ' s last year. Homecoming, Soccer state, athle- tic events and plays would always be re- membered for years to come. Overall, the many activities that made up the 1982-83 school year were successful and kept the students alive. Clubs were formed. Student Council played a great role with the student body. The Red Peppers were deeply appreciated by most of the athletes because of the spirit and encouragement they gave sporting events. The most important part of the school year was not forgotten. Academics was part of each senior, from the first day of school to the week before graduation. Confused and discouraged, they kept pushing until they reached their goals. — — — — — ■■■ by Gina Graham — 1. CLASS SPIRIT: Lori Forrest and Randy Dunn. 2.

Many seniors spent their spare time watch- ing the different sporting events through- out the year. With the baseball Cardinals hitting off to a big success this year, many of the stadium seats were filled with Granite City fans. Next, the NFL underway, not to mention the St. Louis Blues hockey team and Steamers soccer. If sports didn ' t come into mind, many students occupied their time watching a concert at the Checkerdome or Keil Audi- torium. If a concert wasn ' t in town, Laser- ium was always nearby. The popular Veil Profit fair or Strausen- fest always held great interest. The Shriners Circus was in town annually also. Many couples could find themselves walking to the riverfront or satisfying their appetites at all of the fancy resturants. If worse came to worse, just walking around the streets window shopping was better than nothing at all.

While girls set themselves on the various diets to lose weight, guys on the other hand were hard at work in the nearest health club. To build their muscles to perfec- tion, the young adults worked out on an every-other-night basis. A strict individual weight lifting schedule was conducted. Usually this consisted of lifting weights in sets of ten. The entire body was not worked on at once. One day the biceps and triceps of the arm muscles were lifting, while the next day the thighs and calves were concentrated on. Weight lifting was very successful to many guys and their appearance. 1.

Soccer state was a big event to many seniors this year at South. Hotel reservations and transportation were planned weeks in advance. Car loads of students packed their luggage in the cars and drudged their way through the streets of Chicago. Many seniors left early in the morning for a seven hour drive just to make the twelve o ' clock game. The stands had Senior Dave Brown stirring up the fans with his megaphone. Dave adds, I ' ll never forget singing the Nati onal Anthem with- out music. Everybody was getting really rowdy. Chants were started to pep up the players which resulted in regaining the championship title. Day and night life was a little different behind the doors in the hotel rooms. Most of the sen- iors stayed at the Holidome or the Ramada Inn. Soccer state to some could be one of the most memorable week-ends of the school year. by Dana Wood and Gina Graham Lori Forrest Kevin Fowler Jon Frangoulis Ford Frazar Ruth Galiher Joseph Gancheff Thomas Gann Greg Gibson James Gibson Mary Grace Ronald Grace Gina Graham MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED SENIORS 85 DING-A-LING-A-LING There were many types of rings. The most familiar ring was the ringing of the bell between classes. Just as your class was in a deep discussion about the lesson you forgot to do, your teacher asked you a very important question. Suddenly the bell rang, you were saved. Other times students wished the bell would never ring. Having a class above the cafeteria one hour and a class in chemistry the next hour, you often found yourself rushing to your locker. Brrring. Sitting at home the familiar sound was heard. The phone was ringing. Suddenly, your knees turned to jello, your stomach churned and your heart fluttered. You realized that you were speaking to that nice looking guy you met last weekend. The most important ring, however, was a round one. One that was worn on the finger. When a guy met up with a gal that became his steady, he often gave her a sweetheart ring. Class rings were traditions throughout the years. Some boys even gave their class ring to their girl friends to wear just as they did many years ago. by Dana Wood ■— 2 1.

Coming from New York, punk rock affected many people around the area. Changing their style of music was only a small change. Hair was cut to a bi-level, ears were double pierced, make-up was applied in a different fashion, and mini skirts, polk- a-dot shirts, and leotards were worn. To some, the punk scene was a new and exciting change in rock-n-roll. Paula Koch replied, When I hear the GoGo ' s I know I ' ve got the beat. Not everyone had enjoyed the new wave. Comments were made about the funny looks and weird music. Many people were satisfied with their faded blue jeans and rock-n-roll. As time rolled on, the new wave rolled in. Friends planned for punk parties and shopped for new ideas. by Dana Wood Kim Miller comments, Girls are getting their ears double pierced. There are many guys doing the same thing. There are several guys at South with their ears double- pierced. 1. Theresa Soellner is laughing at J.D. Marsh being cool in his leather jacket. 2. Kathy Sandall poses to show here punk look. 3.

The final bell of the week was waited for by everyone throughout the five school days, to escape the tensions and school work with two days of relaxation. Yes, this day was Friday. As the 3:20 bell rang, crowds rushed to meet their friends to decide on the plans for the proceeding night. The sun finally went down and the promoted driver of the night leaves to pick up his friends. Various entertainment was available to many seniors on the week-ends. For an average inexpensive evening, most seniors met at a friends house to watch cable, listen to the stereo, play pool, etc. If a house was not available, popular sights such as Horse Shoe Lake, Low Water Dam, or the Levee were also a well-known gathering place. Some students went to a show, got a pizza, attended a sporting event, or last but not least . . . drove around the town. Usually everyone found some place to spend their free time on Friday. — — by Dana Wood Rayette Herrin remarked, Keeping up with my homework all week, the week- end gives me a chance to go out and have a good time for all of the hard work that I ' ve done. 1.

CLASS PARTIER: Lanee Winters and Bill Schrieber. CLASS PARTIERS SENIORS 91 ONE LAST LOOK Reaching your Senior year, you could look back to all of the times you ' ve had during high school. Starting out being a freshman, you had to get adjusted to the new environment. School activi- ties were attended and friends were found. Soph- omore year was a big thing! Getting your licenses and taking dad ' s car out on a weekend night was the highlight of the year. Being a junior, you had to buckle down and set yourself straight. Then at a sudden moment, you were a senior. Your home- coming was planned, college preparations were made, and graduation day was set. How time flies! Seems like yesterday. Where have the years gone? These were many comments heard from the senior class. Now that I ' m a senior, commented Terri Miles, I can ' t believe that four years have past. Those were the best four years that I ' ve spent in my life. Attending school at South for four years, the students became accustomed to the school. Mak- ing the best of their years was part of the reason why the time, passed by so fast. Even though the students devoted most of their time to their stud- ies, they found time for a little fun. by Dana Wood J 92 CLASS CLOWN SENIORS Ginger Knott Paula Koch Kristin Kosydor Jeffrey Kraus Glenda Krug Susan Kutey Mark Lallement Paula Lambert Lynda Lane Walter LaRue Beth Laub Kyusoon Lee Cheryl Hillis replied, School wouldn ' t have gone by so fast if we wouldn ' t have had some goof-off time. Playing tricks and having some laughs made my high school years worth the time I spent. 1. Tony Segobiano and Bill Hency are found behind closed lockers. 2.

Out of various diets, many students chose to make their own. Skipping breakfast, a diet soda for lunch and a small supper in the evening was one that many of them thought would be ideal to shed those few extra pounds. For the first five days, will power seemed to be the best friend a dieter had but as you walked into your house and noticed that there was a creamy chocolate cake sitting before you, your will power had vanished as you sunk your teeth into it. The dreaded diet was found to be extremely hard to follow. Taco Bell, McDonalds and Jack in the Box were hard to stay away from. Not only did students watch what they ate, some found that exercise was a great help. Wilson Park and South ' s track were popular places to run. Many people found themselves cheating on their diet. Never the less, quite a few built up their will power and slowly shed those few extra pounds. by Dana Wood ™ 1.

When the big ball was dropped, not only did this sig- nify the beginning of a New Year, but the graduation year for the Class of 83. New Year ' s Eve might have been the second most well planned evening of the year- next to graduation. Friends gathered together to share the excitement of the countdown. Fire crackers were shot at twelve, while New Year ' s kisses were passed around. On New Year ' s Day, while everyone relaxed, many people thought of new years resolutions. Common resolution ' s were losing weight, saving money, or even helping around the house. The last thing in the world anybody wanted to do was wake up early in the morning to return back to the old rou- tine on Jan. 3.

With birthdays, Christmas, car payments, and weekends, borrow” became a famous word. Fathers, mothers, sisters, and broth- ers became favorite people when wallets were empty. This was not true for many students at Granite City South. For many seniors, careers had already be- gun. With the help of Mrs. Jeanette Holder and Mr. Roy McConkey, many students worked under a co-op job which took the place of specific credits. Getting paid during school hours of course made the co-op worker satisfied. Most jobs held by girls were usually secre- tarial catagorized, or working at K-mart or a department store at minimum wage. The Board of Education provided many jobs within the school system at their own set wages. Working under the co-op system not only helped decide a career choice, but also was an excellent job reference when filling out future job applications. by Gina Graham Dana Wood — 98 CLASS REPRESENTATIVES SENIORS Diane Waltenberger commented, I ' m really glad I co-op for the job experience. The extra spending money doesn ' t hurt either. CLASS REPRESENTATIVES: Sandra Zarling and Phil Harizal. 2.

Not everyone bared the same image. One minute you see T-shirts, to sweaters, to black concert shirts. The personalities vary greatly from the un- derclassman to the seniors. Freshman and sophomores began to grow and mature as individuals. The juniors were torn between acting like sophomores or acting with more maturity. The seniors had already established their class personality. One way they showed their maturity was through college deci- sions and career moves. Some males ma- tured physically as well as emotionally. The beards which were seen were evidence of thi s. It took different kinds of people to make our school. The wide variety of growing experiences which took place in high school were evident in the spectrum of people and personalities at South. by Dana Wood “ Pat Linhart states, During school, the week-ends were the only thing that kept me going.

It seemed as if when Homecoming ended, May Day began and only a few weeks remained until the caps were thrown. Excitement existed throughout the school while seniors dis- cussed future plans and arrangements. School work gradually slacked off and many students were simply tired of the same rou- tine for four years. To reach the graduation ceremony was every students destiny. A new beginning awaited to form families and careers. After visiting relatives after the ceremony, most graduated seniors awaited the long night ahead of them. The graduation celebration wasn ' t over yet. Senior Becky Jackson said, My friends and I are driving down to Florida for a cou- ple weeks . Plans have been set since Easter for many graduation vacations to Florida, the Ozarks, or anywhere away from Granite City. — — by Gina Graham — 102 CLASS ACTOR ACTRESS SENIORS i William Schreiber Carol Schulte Linda Schulte Carltta Scotti Anthony Segobiano Laura Shanks Janet Sheley Chris Shorey Christine Siers Patricia Skinner James Small Harold Smith Missy Callis added, After I ordered my announcements and cap and gown was really when it hit me that I was finally going to graduate and be on my own. 1.

The 1983 Senior Prom was at a different atmosphere from the previous years. It was held at Au- gustines in Belleville. Hiring a better band, the photographers, and the food was defi- nitely a big success to complete the even- ing. An announcer, who formally intro- duced the couples as they walked in, was stationed at the door. Since this year was the last opportunity to attend this main event, the entire evening was planned thoroughly from start to finish. Many girls designed their own dresses and had them made to perfection. Pictures were taken as the couples drove off and officially the popular prom night begins. The traditionally hoop dress was once again a favorite dress. As the night got underway, the dancing partners danced the night away only to end up in a fancy restau- rant after the prom doors were closed. From this point, seniors branched off and found themselves in various places among friends. Bibi Christoff commented, We ' re trying to make our Senior Prom one which no one will forget. This year won ' t be anything like the last. by Gina Graham J 1. Tom Adamitis, Wayne Womack, Tom Newton, Chip Boh- man, Eric Wilson, and Jon Frangoulis start getting rowdy before their next class. 2.

CLASS MUSICIANS SENIORS 105 DECISIONS TO MAKE The students of the 1983 graduating class were faced with some important decisions during their last year in high school. The first decision was to decide if they were going to further their education. Seniors who decided not to enroll into any other type of school had already decid- ed what they were going to do after gradu- ation. Getting a Job was a popular reac- tion from many students. They found that their experience in high school courses would get them the kind of job they want- ed w ithout going to college. Those students who had made the deci- sion of going to college or a trade school were soon faced with bigger decisions such as where to go, how much will it cost, and were my grades good enough. Applications were filled out and the big wait was on. Seniors realized how important being in- volved in school activities and making good grades were to your future. ■ by Dana Wood Kathy Toussaint Wendy Townzen Tamara Tracy Barbara Traiche Barry Trout Ken Tudor Rufus Valencia Tina Valencia 1.

The general condition of the body. by Patty Burch Emergency first aid was another area that the Health students studied. They learned how to perform cardio pul- minary resuscitation, or C.P.R., and they had to demonstrate this life sav- ing technique on a plastic dummy. Although these Health classes re- quired hard work and study, the in- structors tried to make it more inter- esting by showing movies and con- ducting classroom discussions. Required or not, most students agreed that Health classes at Granite City South were very beneficial. Health was the one class at Granite City High School South that the Illi- nois Government required you to take and pass before being allowed to graduate. It was required for juniors, and was taken in place of one semes- ter of Physical Education. Greg Patton and Leonard Lybarger were the Health instructors at South. Their students studied a wide range of topics, including human growth and development, ecology, body dyna- mics, and mental health. Students were also instructed on drugs and var- ious diseases. 116 HEALTH Journalism (jur-ne-liz-em) The collecting, writing, and publishing of news. The occupation of writing for, editing, and conducting newspapers and other periodicals. Material written for publication. by Patty Burch Courses in journalism at Granite City High School South attempted to teacn the students how the media, especially the newspaper, relayed a message to the public. In addition to learning journalis- tic techniques, the students were taught how to apply these techniques to daily living ana in a practical way. When the course was first offered at South, it was only taught for one hour. However, interest in the course grew at such a great pace that Mary Ellen John- son had two journalism classes through- out the day. Mrs. Johnson said, “The kids take the class for different reasons. Some take it to improve their writing. Others take it because it is different from other English classes, or they want to go into journal- ism as a career. Mrs. Johnson taught her students to write articles and neadlines, improve grammar, and plan a layout. The class put out the Cub Edition of the High World, took tests and learned about the procedure of putting together a news- paper. The students who took journalism didn ' t mind all the hard work because they enjoyed doing it. To express their thoughts in interesting articles, it took skill and determination. After having taken Beginning Journalism, most of these students will further their exper- ience by taking Advanced Journalism. Bart Lane, Beginning Journalism stu- dent, said, “I enjoy this class very much, and I think it will prove a gooo exper- ience for me, no matter what profession I choose. Beginning Journalism and Advanced Journalism are two classes that you should be privileged to have offered as a course. They are a good background for anyone who wants to pursue a career in journalism. i 1. Angela Ybarra is amused at what she is writing. 2.

There were two beginning classes, Chemistry 1 and Chemistry 1A, that consisted of both lab and lecture days. This year, Ken Gattung, Dave McClain, and R. William Rotter were the Chemistry teachers. In the classes, which included sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors, the stu- dents took notes and worked problems relating to their labs. They were also required to learn the valences and ab- breviations of the elements. The days that the students most enjoyed were the lab days. These were the days when the students were able to work with chemicals, electronic balances, and centrifuges. Junior Bart Lane comment- ed, I enjoy the experimental days very much. They gave me a chance to ex- periment with various chemicals and see just what I could do. These stu- dents had to learn the certain rules and regulations that go with working in the lab so that accidents would be avoided. The Chemistry classes were alot of hard work, but most of the students agreed that it was still fun. Carolyn Roth, Junior, stated, I enjoy this class very much. Mr. Gattung made the class interesting and fun. by Patty Burch « FAVORITE PASTIME: 1. Being with friends 2. Talking on the telephone 3. Being with boyfriend girlfriend 1.

So many things to do with hair and Granite City South students did it all. Students had their own style according to their type of hair, the time they wanted to spend styling it everyday, and the shape of their face. The styles ranged from the wash-and-wear style of a perm, to the new bi-level, punk style that was made popular by many stu- dents. Whatever the hairstyle, each student added his own individual- ity. by Patty Burch ■■ 124 JUNIORS 2 Randy Feltmeyer Laura Ferris Jack Fetter Bob Ficker John Finke Kathy Fithen Jim Fletcher Bill Forrest Eric Foster Marion Fox Steve Freese Lisa Frye Jim Fuhrman Angela Fuller Rueben Garcia Clifton Gassett Rick Gauen Mark Gerber William Gibson Donald Gilbert Richard Gibson Pam Gorman Melanie Grady Lisa Gramlich 4 FAVORITE FOOD: 1.

The years spent in high school can be the best years of your life, and friends make all this possible. Having some- one to share the happy and sad times with is what a good friend is all about. There are friends you walk to classes with, and friends to whom you confide your deepest se- crets. There are groups of friends that go out to parties and school activities, and some who just sit around and gossip about the things that hap- pened during the week. Which ever way you choose to spend time with your friends, the memories that are made will be remembered for many years to come. There are certain qualities that a good friend should possess, and most people agree about these qualities. Tina Kaempf, Junior, comment- ed, A good friend is someone you can act crazy around, and just be yourself. They should also be easy to get along with and trustworthy. There are many reasons why we choose to have friends, and those reasons vary a great deal from person to person. One thing is certain a friend can only make the times more memora- ble. ■ by Patty Burch — 1. Patti Grebel, Tina Kaempf, and Sharon Blankenship escort Troy Moore to his next class. 2.

These lyrics were familiar to Billy Squier fans, one of the many performers which in- cluded St. Louis as part of their tour. Rush, the Who, the Go Go ' s, Ozzy Os- bourne and others appeared in the area. Names like these and the lure of a live show was enough reason for peo- ple to pay anywhere from $10.50 to $17.50 per ticket. For a good concert, it was worth it, commented Sharon Blankenship, Junior. Groups were more exciting with ef- fects like light shows , said Troy Moore, Junior, Live performances es- tablished audience and star rapport. — by Patty Burch — Kathy Juhasz Tina Kaempf Kathy Kelly Linda Kelly Robbie Kent Norman Kinder Vicki Kingston Bob Kirksey Brigette Kittel Roger Knobbloch Kathy Kopsic Colleen Kosek Charlie Krohne Mike Lampston Bart Lane Donna Langlois Terri Lantermo Cheryl LaRue Charles Lazar Holly Lee David Lisac Greg Lindsey Becky Lloyd Dina Lombardi JUNIORS 129 Kris Lorden Scott Lucas Howard Lunch Paul Macios Randy Markarian Valerie Marlett Stacy Marshall Donny Martin Lori A.

The Juniors played an important part in sporting events throughout the year. Troy Moore commented, I felt very honored to play in the state soccer tournament. It was an exciting exper- ience that I will never forget. Which ever sport they participated in, whether it was soccer, football, or basketball, the Juniors played to win, and worked extra hard to show their coaches what they had to offer. by Patty Burch FAVORITE SPORT: 1.

There were a large number of places to choose from and the foods that were served ranged from tacos to burgers to pizza. Most students also said that they liked the central location of the res- tuarants because they were easily acce- sable during their short lunch hour. by Patty Burch — i 4 TOP RESTAURANTS IN GRANITE CITY 1.

JUNIORS 133 TEACHERS ' PET Did you ever stop to think about the importance of the teaching staff at Granite City South? The contributions that were made by the teachers were often overlooked, but you would have to admit that without them, a student would have little reason for attending school. The teachers were all different, and all of them had unique and different ways of getting across a main point or idea. Some went about their job of teaching in a humorous way while oth- ers were more strict. Each class seemed to have a certain atmosphere, and that atmosphere depended largely on the behavior of the students. Most of my classes were fun and interesting, and I ' ve learned a lot, commented Kim Dickey, Junior. Although some classes were enjoyed more than others, they all served a ma- jor purpose. This was not always an easy task for the teaching staff. It seemed that some of the students had a hard time getting along with their fellow classmates. It was the job of the teacher to keep the peace in the classroom and to help the students get along with each other. High school days were full of memo- ries, and perhaps the one person most everyone remembers was their favorite teacher. It was a person that you will remember in the many years to come. by Patty Burch 134 JUNIORS John Powers Lisa Preloger Marty Pulley Laura Rains Diane Ray David Ray Denise Reed Lisa Redman Terri Reichwein Richard Rehmus Sheila Revelle Dale Roberts James Robins Monica Rogers Anita Rojas Annette Rojas Ray Romine Carrie Ross Carolyn Roth Keith Romlett Bill Russell Robert Ruth Debbie Rutledge Lisa Scannell Neil Schroeder Joan Schwertman Todd Scrum David Seilheimer Gary Sellers Linda Sexton 5 1.

A group of students from Granite City were asked where they would like to live if they did not reside in Granite City. Some long term residents could not imagine leaving the history, landmarks, and the unique qualities that are in Granite City. Many, however, would leave just as soon as they could pack their bags. Several South students stated outlandish places as a home-away-from-home. These are the islands and jungles you only see in movies and read about in books. All seemed to agree that they do not want to go somewhere different. Carolyn Roth commented, I would love to live on the beach somewhere. Preferably a quiet island in the Caribbean. Several students had very unique reasons why they chose where they would live in the future. Scott Ivie stated, I would very much like to live in California, because I like the beach and the weather. Sharon Blan- kenship said, I would like to live in Virgin- ia, because that ' s where my mom and most of my relatives live. Everyone has that special place tucked far into their minds and the descriptions are sometimes vague and obscure. The majority of the people, however, definitely would like to live in another place, but stated Granite City isn ' t really all that bad. by Patty Burch mmJ TOP RADIO STATIONS: 1. KWK 2. K-SHE 3.

(The Young The Restless) Can you answer these questions? Most of the students at South had no problem answering these and other questions about their favorite daytime drama. In fact, many students had be- come addicted to watching the soaps. The addiction began during those hot months of summer vacation. There were a few familiar signs of addiction, such as turning on the television at 11:30 a.m. and refusing to move until 4:30 p.m., having a permanent tear in the outer corner of the eye, or keeping an ample supply of tissue nearby. Although this addiction was serious, there always seemed to be one sure- fire way to cure this daytime disease — the opening of school. Once the school year began, a person found that he she never had enough time to de- vote to this favorite pastime. There was some good news, howev- er, for those of you who couldn ' t cope without the soaps, There were magazines and newspapers that kept you up to date on your favorite soap opera. by Patty Burch — ■ FAVORITE SOAP OPERA: 1.

Right angles, equalateral triangles, and in- tersecting planes were just a few of the terms that geometry students learned to define this year. Geometry one and and two were usually taken after a year of Algebra either in high school or junior high. When most people think of geometry they think of drawing angles and measuring figures, but actually students learned how to think logically. One of the main goals of studying geometry was to develop the abili- ty to think critically. In order to understand most problems in geometry, students had to memorize or recognize the many postulates and many theroms. Students learned how to bisect lines and planes and also draw several fig- ures. Since math is a rapidly increasing field, geometry as well as several of the other math courses are great to have under your belt when you go into the job market. by Debbie Moad — — — — i 140 GEOMETRY 1.

Junior Larry Mueller becomes frustrated while doing his work. Communication- (co-mu-ni-ca-tion) Intercourse by words or messages; interchange of thoughts or opinions. Interpersonal communication? In- tropersonal communication? If you don ' t know the difference between these two terms, you probably did not have Oral Communication. The Oral communication class was one of the required English classes for sopho- mores. Because this class was also re- uired to take acting classes, many rama oriented freshmen decided to take it their first semester so that they could continue into acting, debate, or stagecraft. When asked what the main objec- tive of Oral Communication was, Ron- ald Pennell, head of the Oral Commu- nication department, commented, The main objective is to teach the student skills in different types of communication with special emphasis on one to one communication. Speeches, self-image discussions, and preparation and delivery of the follies were a few examples of the work in by Linda Dupont — — — — this class. One of the highlights of this class was the follies. Twice a year, at the end of each semester, the follies are pre- sented. Every Oral Communication class is required to have an entry to present to an audience of approxi- mately 650 people, which is a full house. The teacners involved in the follies are Ronald Pennell, Ruth Klaus, Richard King, and Beverly Scroggins. Because most students already nave the gift gab, it seems as though many teachers and students feel Oral Com- munication is one class that should not be required. When asked if Oral Com- munication was not required, would you have taken it, sophomore Debbie Rozycki replied, Yes definitely, I found the class very enjoyable. While Kathy Zeugin, a sophomore, said, No, there are other classes I find more important which would help prepare me for a career in law. ORAL COMMUNICATION 143 John Abbott Belinda Abernathy E. C.

This was the first year that Cather- ine Reibold had taught the class. I really enjoyed the foods class this year. stated Mrs. Reibold. Their favorite recipes were for piz- zas. The students learned table man- ners and how to set a table correctly. The class planned the recipe the day before it was actually cooked. They de- cided on the ingredients and utensils needed. Also, they decided which per- son would cook and wash dishes. The students enjoyed cooking the meals, but what they enjoyed most of all was eating their creations. by Debbie Moad SOPHOMORES 147 1.

Some courageous students did just that when they came dressed as goblins, cowboys, and witches in the annual Student Council Halloween contest. Tryouts were not necessary. Every- one who wanted to participate came to school dressed as their favorite charac- ter. They walked through the halls and other students took second glances at some of the original costumes dis- played. The judging took place after school in the auditorium. Eugene Smallman, Student Council advisor, was the judge. The only problem Mr. Smallman had as judge was deciding who was best. He finally narrowed it down to a witch with green hair as the first-place win- ner by Linda Dupont SOPHOMORES 149 Lynn Hendricks James Hoffman Julie Hoffman Jeff Hogue Anita Holt Charles Hoppe Lisa Housend Mike Houston Jay Huber Marchel Hughs Pat Hurocy John Ide Dawn If land Wade Imhoff Randy Israel Anita Jackson Bill Jackson Lisa Jackson Chris James Kim James Bryan Jarman Mark Johnson Melissa Johnson Tammy Johnson THE JOB FAIR A GOOD OPPORTUNITY Solitude is bad. Having no job is twice as sad. was something discussed at the annual Job Fair. Presented by the Parents for Special Education and the Region I office, the Job Fair ' s purpose was to help students who were seeking employment in the community. Available job opportunities were discussed by all who attended the Fair. In addition, job seekers had a chance to discuss qualifications and meet potential employers. Learn- ing how to obtain jobs, making career choices, and identif- ing job opportunities were all a part of this valuable exper- ience. Each student attending the Fair was asked to be an active participant. Each brought with him several job resume forms and job information sheets. They also had in mind several questions to ask the employers participating in the Fair. As a result of the active participation of the employers and the students involved, several students were able to get a lead on part-time summer jobs and possible work- study positions. by Linda Dupont 150 SOPHOMORES Chris Jones Darrell Jones Lisa Jones Mark Jones Mike Jones Tammie Jones Rhonda Jordan Tom Jordan Chris Kahn Lena Kalips John Kane Donna Kastelic Steve Kichler Rhonda Kleffer Michelle Kientzle Floyd Kilmer Phil Kimlre Zebada Kinder 4 5 1.

During the long, hot, last days of August students wore everything from shorts and tennis shoes to sundresses and sandals. Although the most popular pieces of clothing to wear throughout the year, hot or cold were t-shirts. Students of all ages wore t- shirts of every kind. Some shirts were solid colors and others were arays of brilliant shades. Others wore shirts that expressed their feelings on certain subjects such as homework and school lunches. Stu- dents also wore tees that advertised their favorite vacation spots. Many people wore concert jerseys of their favorite rock groups and singing artists. Favor- ite football, basketball, soccer, and hockey teams were known by the various shirts worn by students. Everyone liked wearing t-shirts because they were cool and comfortable and would always be in style. T-shirts have been worn by generations and genera- tions and will always be known as the classic image. by Debbie Moad SOPHOMORES 153 Chris Luffman Kim Luffman Tim Macek Matt Maclaughlin Ken Maier Rob Malench Candi Martin George Mathenia Bob Matoesian Michelle McAmish 1.

Some are as small as a tiny goldfish and others are as big as a race horse. Several people train pets for shows and some just for enjoyment. Mr. Rensing, a biology teacher here at South had sev- eral pets in his classroom this year. There was every kind of animal from a snake to a baby chick. Pets are common in almost every household. The most common indoor pets are dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and birds. Outdoor pets are mostly larger-bred dogs and certain kinds of cats and horses. People call their pets by human names like Henry and George arid also call them by animal names like Fluffy and Spot. Not only are pets amazing to watch, but are also great friends and a whole lot of fun to have. by Debbie Moad SOPHOMORES 155 Monica Motol Theresa Munoz Cheryl Murphy Bob Murrey Dee Dee Narup Mary Narup Gina Neal Eric Newsome Carla Nicol Robert Pacheco Dawn Padgett Jill Padgett Kathy Padgett Teri Padgett Chris Palmisano Debbie Paoli David Parker Sarah Pascoe Cathy Patrich Chris Patton Jerry Paul Keith Payne Sandy Peach Missy Pennell 1.

Homework! Gimme a break! Did you have the homwork blues? Many students did this year. Liz Tretter commented about school work, Home- work was the worst thing ab out starting school again after a lazy summer. It took most students a few weeks to get used to writing paragraphs, solving equations, and preparing speeches. Probably all students would agree it is not the home- work that they mind but the amounts given. Sophomore Mary Ruth commented, I don ' t mind doing homework, but some teachers give too much. Most people hated to carry books home and work on assignments in the even- ing after school. Linda Dupont stated, The thing I hate about homework is that I have it every night. As the year progressed South students became used to homework assignments because it was a part of their daily routine. by Debbie Moad SOPHOMORES 157 Elaina Reinagle Michelle Rheinhardt Barry Rideout Rona Riepe Camille Rixie Pam Robeff Steve Robbins Greg Roberts April Robinson Barbara Rodgers John Roland Judy Rolen Rich Romanik Gwen Rosher Debbie Rozycki Melissa Russell Teri Russell Rodney Sampson John Ruledge Mary Ruth Dee Ann Sanborn Tim Sardgal Michelle Sava Kevin Scanlan SHOP WAITING FOR THE BELL Everyone loved to hear the sound of the bell signaling the end of a class. The students in shop classes could not wait to hear that sound. They usually sat around just talking or doing homework about one or two minutes before the bell rang. Everyone enjoyed talking about their next class or what they did over the weekend. However, others dreaded the time when the bell rang, since they enjoyed their shop class so much. They learned quite a bit during their class time. They learned everything from woodworking to metals. The boys also learned how to use the ma- chinery in the shop rooms. Many students went to North for half of the day. Also, many North stu- dents came to South for half a of the day because of the different classes offered at both schools. Although most of the students liked the shop classes, many also liked to hear the sound of the bell that ended the class. by Debbie Moad i 158 SOPHOMORES 1.

Wheth- er it is at 10:30 or 2:00 a.m., almost all students have a curfew. Few students, however, agree with their parents on this subject. Donna Kastelic comments, I can remember arguing with my mother for as long as an hour just so I could stay out past 11:00. Of course, on special occasions such as the Prom parents are more lenient with their rules. Beth Bodnam recalls, Usually I must be home by 11:30, but that night my parents allowed me to come home at 2:30. Many students feel that parents are more lenient with boys than with girls. Kathy Zeugin agreed, When my brother was my age, he was allowed to come in much later than I can now. Elaina Reinagel also agrees. I know my parents are just trying to protect me, she commented, But I sure wish they would trust me more. Parents follow no specific rules when they assign a curfew. Their leniency, care, and trust all play a part in their decision. For that reason, teenagers who wish to stay out later should try and earn the trust of their parents. by Linda Dupont — 3 160 SOPHOMORES Jim Stanley Harry Stanton Laura Star Gary Starr Steve Stegelmeyer Sandy Steiner Don Stevanus Jeff Stewart Ruth Stille Melissa Stinson Sandy Stoppkotte Steve Stone Jim Strack Lisa Strom Dan Sullivan Glenn Svoboda Donna Swann Tashia Szymcek John Tackett Donald Tanksley Rhonda Tanksley Slava Terziovski Jim Thebeau Rob Thomas Kathy Thornsberry Bob Tidwell Janice Tipton Matt Torosian Phil Toth David Traiche Liz Tretter Paul Tretter Molly Trgovich Tanya Trout Stacy Tucker Roger Turner Tammy Vance Lisa Vernon Mike Viessman Dawn Waford Jason Waggener Marsha Walker 1.

SOPHOMORES 161 MURALS Walking through the buildings at South, students can see various differ- ent signs, posters, and paintings on the walls. These posters and paintings add a great deal to the school. As sophomore Sheila Hauptman puts it. The paintings and posters really brighten up the school and help let everyone know what is going on around school. Boosting the sport ' s players spirits is the purpose of all the posters put up by the Secret Pals. Mike Houston com- mented, When you see a sign up for you, you know someone is behind you and you want to play the best you can that night. The signs and paintings perform magic in the halls. Also, rooms reflect the personality of the teacher that uses it. For example, David Culp, Ralph Barker, and Beverley Scroggins all have rooms that refer to what they teach. Stan Wojcik enjoys football which would not surprise anyone that has ever walked into his room.

The arrange- ment of artistic parts so as to form a unified whole as a theme. As the freshman came into South excited about their first year at high school, their great expectations were shattered when they were faced with the same basic English courses they left back at junior high school. Fresh- man composition is considered one of the hardest classes required for fresh- man. Freshman Becky Gaines com- mented, It ' s really hard for me to think of new ideas to write about.” The poor freshman must struggle through twelve themes-incluaing three book reports. Although the demands were great, the course was vital to successfully complete the next three years of hign school. Freshman composition teach- er Sandra Hughes stated, We ' ve been spending more time working on sen- tence structure and grammar to pre- pare the students for their future years at South.” Grammar is an impor- tant part of many literature classes re- quired for sophomores and juniors. The experience in writing helps pre- pare students for essays found on many tests and quizzes. Michelle Wil- liamson said, Mrs. Klaus is easy to un- derstand. We ' ve been learning a lot of new things including how to vary sen- tence structure.” When the lowly freshman become seniors, they will find themselves starting all over again in senior composition. by Kathy Zeugin 164 FRESHMEN COMPOSITION 1.

Many freshmen quickly discovered that the simple task of solving equa- tions was not as easy as it looked. A few semesters of algebra proved to be a very frustrating experience. Break- ing down equations often led to a breakdown in a student ' s confidence. The problems were hard; but with concentration, they were easily solved. Freshmen were asked their opinions on the subject and Mike Loyet said, Algebra is a pretty hard class. I have a lot of trouble witn story problems; but I guess its a class we all should have. This statement seems to represent every algebra student ' s emotions. Although story problems seemed useless and impossible, they helped students apply what they have learned to everyday use. When asked if she felt algebra should be a required class for all fresh- men, Michelle Williamson replied, Yes, I feel that algebra is a necessity for anyone interested in getting a job. In recent years, jobs have been narder to find. Most employers are in- terested in college graduates or at least high school graduates with ex- perience in business and math, it would be beneficial for every student to study hard and learn as much as they can-in the field of math to make their job hunt a little bit easier. by Kathy Zeugin 1.

Unfortunately when most teen-agers are hungry, they turn to the snacks. Chocolate cake, potato chips, candy bars, and french fries are very tasty, but they are loaded with calories and do not have many vitamins. With off-campus lunch at South, many students go to eat at McDonald ' s or other fast-foot establishments. The lunch hour was different to each student. To some it was simply to eat — to others it provided time to study or catch up on the social news of the campus. i— by Kathy Zeugin — J 1.

Vince Rogier and Carla Ziff help those students from North, South, and Coolidge who are visually impaired or those who need speech therapy. They tutor students individually throughout the day helping them strengthen their own abilities. They both commented that they have seen a noticable im- provement in most of their pupils throughout the years they ' ve been teaching. The students learn to face their problems and gain a new attitude about dealing with them. Once they ' re able to do this, the learning is the easiest part. by Kathy Zeugin FRESHMEN 173 MAKING WAVES The girls, under the supervision of coach Karen Smith, practiced very hard throughout the year. Not only do the girls participate on South ' s swim team, but they were also members of Paddler ' s and the YMCA Swim Team. Each girl participated in the U.S.A. individual events where they competed for the state championships. In the district finals, junior Dee Dee Darnell received a third place metal for the 100 yd. butterfly. The freshmen and sophomores who exhibited their strength in a medly relay were Diane Oliver, Kristy Toussaint, Paula Bills, and Lisa Baldwin. Krista Lorden also contributed to the team ' s success.

In the past, the boys were free to dress in white T-shirts while the girls were required to wear the traditional one-piece uniforms. As the equal rights movement progresses throughout the year, the P.E. class be- came more liberated by allowing the girls to wear shorts and shirts like the boys. Along with the change in uniform, there was a definite change in attitude among the students about P.E. There are now more classes being offered such as aerobic dancing, weight train- ing, archery, camping skills and many more. Freshman Lisa Green comment- ed, “P.E. is a lot different than it was at Coolidge. At least here you get to choose what you want to take.” One of her classmates Jeff Zukas stated, “I like being able to choose activities that will help me get into shape and prepare for the sports seasons.” The general opin- ion of the new approach to physical fitness was very good which enabled the new program to continue. — by Kathy Zeugin — 1.

This program was created for the gifted students who maintain a grade point average of at least 4.5 or better. The school board allowed these special students to take advanced classes and enroll in specific schedules prepared to fit each individuals needs. For instance, only those freshmen participating in Secondary Honors were allowed to en- roll in typing, World History, and acce- lorated biology classes. Sondra Kopsky, the counselor in charge of the honors program, along with Mrs. Merna Musterman, and the teachers for accelerated courses ar- ranged schedules to help prepare the gifted students for college. These students will go into other fields after college, prepared to face the chal- lenges ahead of them in life. Although 1982 was only a trial year for this new program, they plan to continue it and make adjustments to improve it in the following years. by Kathy Zeugin FRESHMEN 179 Bill Sabo Sandra Sanborn Charlene Sanders Nida Sanders Billy Salas Ben Sanders Kim Sanners Kim Schellingberger Tom Schnefke Brett Scrum Bert Sechrest Jeanie Sellers Willie Sewell Darren Singleton Bobby Shaw Darrell Shepard John Sheppard Ann Skinner Eric Smith Jim Smallwood Dennise Smith Jerry Smith Pam Smith Sally Smith Alice Snyer Tom Sparks Glen Sprankle Tim Stanton i 1.

People crowd into theatres and sit in front of their television sets to learn the secrets of these super beings. The most obvious example of an extraterrestrial who made it really big on Earth is a little fellow who came from the exploded planet Krypton, known as Superman. Not only did the man of steel capture the hearts of our parents, but he ' s still doing quite well in motion pictures to- day. Superman, alias Clark Kent, was portrayed by Christopher Reeves in the latest films Superman 1 and 2 . Alien stars are not restricted to just men. Wonder Woman exhibits the perfect female. Although we are now in the age of technology and many movies revolve around futuristic battle scenes and spaceships zooming through the sky, the movie producers have kept a tight grasp on their alien friends. The latest superstar in a long line of aliens is Hol- lywood ' s E.T. . This lovable creature made millions of dollars from his movie in a very short period of time. Selling stuffed E.T. dolls and T-shirts as well as glasses, video games, and jewelery also contributed to the great success of the extraterrestrial. Freshman Amy Knoll- man commented, Seeing movies like E.T. and Superman let people escape from the real world and have fun for a few hours. So the next time you are out just wandering around and hear a strange noise and see flashing lights in the sky, don ' t be surprised ifyou see a spaceship above you or a super hero flying by. Please be friendly to these visitors and appreciate the entertainment that they have provided by coming to Earth. i by Kathy Zeugin _ FRESHMEN 181 Edward Staples David Stark Elizabeth Stark Christy Stawar Jerry Stearns Frank Steven Mike Strieunoski Chris Stone Jeff Stone Bob Stroehmer Tom Sturdevant Mike Sturman Andrea Suarez Cheryl Swift Karen Sykes Mary Tanksly Rodney Tanksly Mary Taylor Terry Taylor Donetta Teachenov Tim Tegel Jim Terziovski Yvonne Timko Kenny Tindall Darren Tinsly Lisa Thompson Shelly Thompson Salvador Toro Kristy Toussaint David Towery Mark Tripp Shelly Turner Dwayne Tyler John Usrey Rhonda Vandergriff John Varadian Jeff Vaughn Melissa Vaughn Chris Veizer Dana Vincent Tawn Wade 182 FRESHMEN i WORKING THEIR WAY UP As the saying goes ' You ' ve got to start somewhere. Everyone was always making jokes like, Only a freshman would like something stupid like that! Making fun of the poor ninth graders has become a hobby for the upper classmen. If something goes wrong, It had to be a freshman. When freshmen were brought up in a conversation, it usually wasn ' t in a very pleasant way. Although everyone tends to be a bit immature, occasional- ly, they felt they had to single out someone and the freshmen were usual- ly an easy target. They were also taken advantage of during P.E. because they were the only students who were as- signed their activities. Although the poor freshmen must endure a lot of torture now, they will one day have the satisfaction of being a sophisticated senior. by Kathy Zeugin — 1. A casual little freshman. 2.

FRESHMEN 183 RISE AND SHINE Buzzzzzzzzz This was the sound that starts the day for many people. As your alarm clock goes off, you slowly awaken and know that your day has now begun. Climbing out of the warm soft bed was one of the most difficult things to do. As your feet hit the floor, you stumbled into the bathroom and crawled into the shower. At last the icy, cold water came splashing out over your entire body which slowly brought you to life. Somewhat refreshed by the cool water, you are now able to dress for school and find your way to the kitchen for a quick breakfast. By now you ' ve become more alert and suddenly realize that an- other treacherous day of school was ahead of you. Somehow you seem to struggle through the day and return home for a few more ho urs of rest and relaxation. Finally the day was now completed and you return to your warm, cozy bed only to awaken the following morning to start your daily routine all over again. — by Kathy Zeugin — i 1.

YOUTH IS NOT A TIME IN LIFE; IT IS A STATE OF MIND. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE YOUNGER GENERATION THAT THE OLDER GENERATION DID NOT OUTGROW. Mr. Dumont hoped that both the older and younger generations would benefit from the meaning of this quote. He felt it should encour- age us to stop and think and also help us to better understand each other. by Ellen Pistone THE MAN AT THE TOP JAMES DUMONT 187 m 2 Kenneth Spalding Allen Kennerly 4 Fred P.

James Dumont may be the principal at Granite City South, but he does not handle all of the work by himself. Mr. Dumont is the central authority at South and he has the last word on almost everything, but he has three very important assistant principals to do as their title suggests, assist. These men are Mr. Allen Kennerly, Mr. Fred Schuman, and Mr. Kenneth Spalding. Each of these assistant principals has his own special job in helping to run the school. Mr. Kennerly is in charge of the data processing aspect of South. This means that Mr. Kennerly is the person responsible for low and failing notices and report cards. Mr. Schuman deals with student discipline and makes sure everyone is kept in line. He commented, I am the one every- body loves. Last, but not least, Mr. Spalding ' s daily duty is that of tardies, attendance, personnal, custodian staff, the federal lunch pro- gram, and bus passes. Without the help of the assistant principals, Mr. Dumont ' s job would be much more difficult than it already is. If the assistant principal ' s jobs were non-existant South would not run as effi- ciently as it does. Their presence is felt by everyone at South and they are greatly appreciated by both the student body and staff.

Four years ago, while working on his master ' s degree at New York University, Mr. Culp traveled to Venice and proceeded to live in an apartment in the city and became one of the local Italians. Venice was a fascinat- ing place for an artist because it possessed a great deal of art from every century. Each year the Venice Bi- Annual is held. This event is an artist ' s version of the World ' s Fair. Several countries maintain their own building which holds art displays. For three months each summer New York University rented out the third floor of a large palace for it ' s students to work in. Mr. Culp ' s studio, although it had once been the family bedroom, was large and over- looked the Grand Canal. What else could a young artist ask for? After coming back to the United States, Mr. Culp finished his degree at New York University. While in New York he worked at the very famous O.K. Harris gallery and met important world famous artists whose paintings sold for anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000 a piece. If he was given the choice, Mr. Culp would prefer to live in Manhatten which he considered one of the most exciting places in the world. Although Mr. Culp spends his days teaching in Gran- ite City, he will always have the memories of his time spent in magical Venice. , rll K 6 by Ellen Pistone e I W i t h C u I P 1.

For the past seven years the Homecoming Courts have had Mrs. Ruth Klaus to thank for making the honor being on Court the most special event of their high school years. Mrs. Klaus and the Homecoming Court meet several times to practice going through the ceremony. The first thing on the agenda is to pair the couples up by height. Mrs. Klaus helps the couples practice walking, moving, and when they should appear on the stage. She also spends time alone with the girls, going through the difficult formal bow, discussing dress colors, make-up, and walking. To Mrs. Klaus, each Homecoming Court is special in its own way. She commented, The different students each year probably contri- bute the most to the Court ' s originality. However, how can all of us not find each one special when we watch the elated expressions on the faces of the two people who are chosen queen and escort? Those expressions are gratitued enough to Mrs. Klaus because she knows she has done her job and the members of that particular Homecoming Court will remember it for the rest of their lives. by Ellen Pistone 192 FACULTY Sandra Hughes: English Mary Ellen Johnson: English, High World Emil Kania: Industrial Arts Cary Kasprovich: Social Studies David King: Industrial Arts Larry King: Industrial Arts Richard King: Speech Ruth Klaus: Speech Sondra Kopsky: Guidance Counselor Muriel Kratz: Foreign Language, English Helen Kuenstler: English Department Head Joseph Kutosky: Industrial Arts FACULTY 193 Alfred Leavell: English Edward Lenzi: Math Department Head Roy Logan: Mathematics Leonard Lybarger: Health Roy McConkey: Placement Counselor Paul McCord: Industrial Arts Jerry McKechan: Driver Education Donald Miller: Driver Education Dorothy Mitchell: Physical Education John Modica: Driver Education Carol Moore: Mathematics Cary Morgan: Industrial Arts 194 FACULTY Upon the arrival of the last day of school many teachers said their good-byes for the summer and vowed never to hear the word work” again. Summer meant rest and relaxation ex- cept for a few teachers who chose to labor on throughout the hot summer months. Ken Gattung, science teacher, kept himself busy by assum- ing the responsibility of assistant manager at Paddler ' s Swim Club. He supervised the staff in running the club. Another member of the science department, Dave McClain, painted houses during summer vacation. I enjoy it. I ' m ready to paint after being in school all year, he com- mented. One of the more interesting summer jobs is that of Conrad Champion. Mr Champion is a scout for the Philadelphia Phil- lies baseball club. Mr. Champion has worked with baseball all his life. He has just completed his third year of scouting. Although 1100 miles were traveled this summer Mr. Champi- on enjoyed meeting other coaches, people, and enjoyed watching athletics.

He has been teaching for 22 years, 15 of them have been at GCHS South. Mr. Ethridge is the exceptional kind of teacher that gets involved with his students. Whenever he is busy, and someone needs his help he will stop what he is doing to go to their assistance. The students really ap- preciate this and respect him for his thoughtfulness. In the vocational field, sometimes a stu- dent may need help in finding a job. Mr. Ethridge is always there to do what he can. The last few years have been hard on Mr. Ethridge but he commented, There were bright spots, with an better than average class, some students went to drafting con- tests and won. That made me feel proud, and kept me on my toes. To summarize his years as a teacher at South, Mr. Ethridge commented, I get a lot of satisfaction from knowing that students are able to get and hold jobs and use the education they have learned in my classes. by Chris Peterson LIFE WITH JERRY JERRY ETHRIDGE SPOTLIGHT TEACHER 197 THE GIRLS AT WORK The definition of a secretary is usually thought of as the behind the typewriter, painting the nails type. That may be so, but the Granite City High School South secretaries do much more than just sit at tneir typewriters. They can be found busily at work before, during, ana after school hours. A secretary ' s school day is much more strenuous and longer than any student ' s day. Attendance records, book counts and signing in and out stu- dents are only a few of the jobs pertaining to their schedule. Each has he r own specific job to account for. Mrs. Favier attends to the library, while Mrs. Harris is busily operating the switchboard. Book room duties are directed by Mrs. Hatscter, and Mrs. King is keeping records straight in the attendance office. Many students do not realize what a hectic job the secretaries here at South have. Confusion would mount without their time and performance. They are a necessary asset to Granite City High School South. by Lori Forrest 198 STAFF 7 8 1. Harriet Mercer, main office. 2.

Their jobs last 7 days a week and 12 months a year. Eighteen males, one female and four boiler per- sonnel make up the three shifts of the custodian crew. Evening crews have a basic job, cleaning in designated areas. During the summer, is the hardest part. This is the time when the classrooms are torn apart . Floors are fixed, lights rep laced and radiators are repaired for the next school year. South ' s head custodian is Don Padgett. Three out of the six years he has been at South, he has held the head custodian position. Mr. Padgett graduated from Granite City High School and has been part of the school district for fourteen years. Five days out of the week between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Mr. Padgett can be found in the school. Taking care of the payroll, ordering supplies and delivering them is his basic job. In addition to that, he also takes care of work orders and major repairs in the school. When asked if there were any problems, Don Padgett replied, The trash that lies around the campus and cafeteria is very irritat- ing. He also commented, I enjoy my work very much, here at South. I like the students, the teachers and my fellow workers. Mr. Padgett takes pride in his work and school.

This was how the 11 clubs and organizations were formed. There were clubs and organiza- tions for achievements and inter- ests. National Honor Society was formed for students with an accu- mulative grade point average of 4.2. Quill and Scroll Club was for stu- dents with the interest in writing or journalism and had an accumulative grade point average of 4.0. A few of the clubs formed at South for people with special inter- ests were photography club, stage- craft, and speech and theatre. The Vocational Interests Clubs of America was formed recently for vo- cational students with an interest in their trade. There were students from the drafting classes, from welding, graphic arts, and home economics. The Clubs and Organizations formed at South brought the stu- dents together and added a differ- ent touch to the everyday student life. by Chris Peterson CLUBS ORGANIZATIONS 203 204 STUDENT COUNCIL 1.

Each day during third hour, 28 members gathered together to discuss projects for the school. There were many positions that were filled throughout the year. Paul Hitchcock, Seargant-at-Arms kept order which wasn ' t an easy job. Laura Jenness, Secretary and Mary Bisch, Treasurer kept track of important parts of each session. There were two Vice Presidents which were elected, Sandy Zarlingo and Bob Hubbard. The two of them were responsi- ble for the accomplishments in their com- mittees. A very important position was held by Phil Harizal, President. Phil had to be there to make sure things were going smoothly and to help all of the members. Student Council was very busy through- out the 1982-83 year. They set up money- making projects such as a dance, a bake sale and a student exchange with Alton High school to give the student body en- joyment. There was also a blood drive set up during the year which helped many people in need. When projects were dis- cussed Phil Harizal commented, “Through an improved delegation system, student council can and does make the most out of each project. Mr. Gene Smallman was the head of Stu- dent Council since last year. He helped the club with all of their duties and made sure that arrangements for various projects were final. by Dana Wood STUDENT COUNCIL 205 HOURS AND HOURS OF HARD WORK MAKES AN INTERESTING PAPER Exploring the complex world of journal- ism, the 1982-83 High World staff diligent- ly worked to produce our school newspa- per. Under the supervision of Mary Ellen Johnson, the students usually make up to ten issues of The High World. These infor- mative papers kept students up to date on school activities, national news, features, as well as editorials. Although the students received the papers in a simple completed form, the 7 girls and 3 boys on staff spent long hours preparing layouts, collecting stories and writing captivating headlines which made an interesting paper. The group met daily seventh hour and some- times after school. In order to be on The High World, you must have taken begin- ning journalism. Considering the high cost of living, the paper was sold at a ratner low price of 25 t. Any profit made was deposited into a fund for cameras, typewriters, and various other expenses. The High World has been printed for over 50 years. Mary Ellen Johnson has been in charge of the paper for 17 years. When asked how she felt this year ' s staff com- pares to previous years, sne stated, They are a very good group even though the staff is somewhat smaller this year. I believe they are capable of winning the Blue Ban- ner Award. This is the highest achieve- ment to be awarded by the Southern Illi- nois School Press Association. Editor-in-chief, Robin Campion, has been on staff for 2 years. Her main duty was to make layouts and write the front page article. Cheryl Thomason wrote edi- torials. Feature editor was Lorrie Saltich, and Tom Paul was sports editor. by Kathy Zeugin 206 HIGH WORLD 7 1. The High World Staff- Colleen Kosek, Tom Paul.

It is a very beneficial organization that gives stu- dents a chance to be recognized for all their hard work and effort. The co-spon- sors of this club were Mary Perdue-Tapp and Helen Veloff. Throughout the year, the National Honor Society is involved in various ac- tivities. Besides having bake sales and sell- ing yearbook covers, the National Honor Society has acquired the task of keeping up the marquee, which is located in front of the school. Senior Kelly Ault com- mented, The marquee is a good idea, because it keeps the students informed about what ' s going on in the school. They also have monthly meetings to dis- cuss business matters and further plans for this organization. To be in the National Honor Society, a student must have a 4.2 or better average, and he or she must be able to maintain that average. It ' s hard work, but the stu- dents agree that it is worth it. Alison Boyd, Senior, commented, It is an honor to be accepted into this organization. It was a lot of hard work, but the recogni- tion is a great reward. In the spring of their junior year, these students were initiated into the National Honor Society. Out of the many people chosen, there were officers elected. These officers were Randy Dunn, Presi- dent; Chris Kessler, Vice President; Nancy Jones, Treasurer; and Alison Boyd, Secre- tary. by Patty Burch NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 209 1.

It was organized April 10, 1926 for the pur- pose of encouraging as well as rewarding individual achievements in journalism. Like other special societies, there were certain requirements which each member had to meet before being accepted. An ac- cumulative grade point average of at least 3.75 must be maintained as well as being an active member on the school yearbook or newspaper. A recommendation from either Mary Johnson or DeeMana Spudich was the final qualification. The highlight of the club ' s activities was the initiation of it ' s new members. The evening mainly consisted of a dinner fol- lowed by a candle ceromony held annually. The eight candles used, symbolized Truth, Learning, Leadership, Loyalty, Initiative, In- tegrity, Judgement, and Friendship. Mary Johnson sponsors the High World and DeeMana Spudich has charge of the Warrior yearbook. — — — by Kathy Zeugin QUILL AND SCROLL 211 HOURS OF PRACTICE MAKES A BRILLIANT PRODUCTION Definitely one of the most active clubs at South was the Speech and Theatre club. This club, sponsored by Ronald Pennell, began the year by sponsoring Homecom- ing. This included coming up with a good Homecoming theme, sponsoring the dance on Friday night, and presenting the Homecoming play, Grease. Besides the Homecoming play, they also presented the winter play and the spring musical. The music department also did a tremendous amount of work on the spring musical. Throughout the year, judging the Fol- lies, sponsoring the talent show, and pre- senting the children ' s show to various grade schools, and speech tournaments were also a part of this active club ' s duties. At the end of the school year, an awards banquet kept the club ' s members busy. Because plays were expensive to pre- sent, The club sold Homecoming buttons and other various items throughout the school year. The proceeds from the tickets sales of the plays and musicals also went to the department to help pay for scenery, scripts, and royalties. Tne officers of the club were: President - Kathy Toussaint, Vice- President - Cheryl Thomason, Secretary - Karen Moore, and Treasurer - Dave Williams. by Linda Dupont 212 SPEECH AND THEATRE 1.

SPEECH AND THEATRE 213 1 Hardwork, time, and fun makes STAGECRAFT A CLASS TO TAKE Stagecraft was a popular class with stu- dents interested in the production of plays. Students in the class constructed settings for the productions of the home- coming, winter, and spring plays. People in the class took care of the lighting, handed out programs, and took tickets at the door on the nights of play performances. Stagecraft students agree that the class was a lot of hard work and time consum- ing, but a very enjoyable and worthwhile class. In beginning stagecraft students learn about the stage ana how things are done. Students in advanced stagecraft do all the construction for the plays throughout the year. Students had a great responsibility for getting their sets ready in time for the plays. Many students even worked after school which gave them extra credit. South stagecraft students not only built scenes for South plays, but also did some of the scenes for North plays. Mrs. Scroggins taught both classes of stagecraft this year. Advanced stagecraft consisted of twenty or more students in each class. The building of scenes usually took place about a month before the opening night of the plays. Junior Linda Moreland commented, It ' s a really fun class, but also a lot of hard work. It ' s very time consuming during and after school, but Mrs. Scroggins makes it all worth- while. by Debbie Moad 214 STAGECRAFT 1.

Of course, they overcome all problems, marry, and live happily ever after. In Tom Jones, South ' s 1983 winter play, all conflicts are resolved in the end, but there are many laughs along the way. Directed by Ruth Klaus, Tom Jones was presented on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb- ruary 9th and 10th. Consisting of a twenty member cast, rehearsals began on January 3.

The F. S. A. sponsor was Miss Pat Stamps. The group met once a month, usually on Thurs- day. To join this club, the student must have taken at least three business courses, carry a C average, and be at least a junior. At various meetings, people from different occupa- tions, such as a court reporter and secretary, came and talked to the girls about their jobs. At the end of the year, the senior girls were able to go to St. Louis for a day. They worked in an office as a professional secretary. The 1982- 83 F. S. A. officers were President- Sherry Ziglar, Vice President- Paula Mathenia, Secretary- Laura Shanks, Treasurer- Dana Evans, and Board Members were Dana Wood and Dawn Hudosn. The Vocational Industrial Club of America was a popu- lar club among students interested in health, trade, in- dustrial, and technical occupations. Comprised of 24 members, VICA met once every two weeks. Because this was only the second year for the club at South, the club spent the year raising money and becoming organized. President, Mark Gerber, stated, More or less, this year, we were starting out from scratch. The 1982-83 officers were: President- Mark Gerber, Vice president- Eric Smith, Secretary- Danny Sipes, and Treasurer- Chris Heintz. by Debbie Moad — FSA AND VICA 219 TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE FOREIGNERS Have you ever wanted to take a trip to a foreign country? Many students did the next best thing and joined the Foreign Language Club. Meetings were held once a month. During their meetings, the club members discussed money-making ideas, organized the club for the 1982 83 school year, got acquainted with each other, and planned a Christmas party. They also had to plan an appropriate Homecoming float to enter in the parade on Friday of Homecoming week. To raise money for field trips, members had a bake sale. They also sold various other items throughout the year. The only requirement to be in the club was to be in or have had a foreign language. At South, this would have been either German 1 or Spanish 1. Anyone fulfilling these requirements was urged to join the club. The elected officers of the club were Michele Bezan, president; Kim Grimm, vice president; and Bibi Christoff, secret ary treasurer. Spanish teacher, John Sellmeyer, sponsored the Foreign Language Club. by Linda Dupont 1. Foreign Language Club president Michele Bezan beings the meet- ing. 2.

Learning how to correctly use various types of cameras and learning darkroom techniques kept the members busy throughout the school year. Club members with exceptional skills were asked to take pictures for the yearbook. Howev- er, because of a lack of many experienced pho- tographers, the club sponser, DeeMana Spu- dich, and Nick and Norman Mangoff of Holly- wood Andrews Studio took most of the year- book pictures this year. At the club meetings, the members discussed various projects. One of the items sold by the group this year was school huggers. For most members, this year was the first to be in the club. However, all of the club officers, Chris Peterson, Gina Graham, and Dana Wood, have been in the club for at least two years. by Linda Dupont PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB 221 1 THE ATHLETIC ONES by Lori Forrest Many students are aware of South ' s Letterman ' s Club, but many do not realize there is a letterman ' s club for the girl ' s athletics. SLAC, South ' s Leader Athletic Club, is the name of the organization. The only requirement for the club is to have received a varsity letter in one or more sports. Mrs. Charlotte Charbonnier is the sponsor of the SLAC program. She has been with the program ever since its beginning in 1979. The officers of the club this year were President Nancy Jones, Vice-president Vicki Smith, Trea- surer Dana Evans, and Secretary Linda Moreland. SLAC was in full charge of this year ' s May Day program as well as the past ones. Everything from programs to decorations was supervised by the members. Also, the club was in charge of all athletic pictures taken through- out the school year. This was a giant task. It included both the boys and girls athletic teams. SLAC is an important part of a girl ' s athletics in her high school years. It is a great accomplishment to become part of this club, because this shows one has earned a varsity letter. South should recognize their female athletes more. 222 SLAC 1. In front- Vicki Smith Back row- Michelle Shoemaker, Theresa Soellner, Dana Evans, Mary Bisch, Nancy Jones. 2.

As soon as a male student receives his first varsity letter, he is introduced into the Granite South Lettermens Club. The club consists of Seniors to Freshman boys who have received their varsity letter in any sporting event. Many members receive more than one varsity letter, in different sporting activities, during their high school years. Greg Patton is the director of the lettermens club and has held that position for the past several years. Club officers were elected at the beginning of the school year with the following results: President: John Menendez, Vice-president: Jon Frangoulis, Secretary: Jerome Czar and Treasurer: Jim Gibson. The club holds its meetings before school every Tuesday of the month. It is a great honor to be a part of the lettermens club. A boy ' s pride in Granite South is obvious when he wears his lettermens jacket. It is also an accomplishment to him to have one. by Lori Forrest — LETTERMENS CLUB 225 SPIRIT 1.

That would be impossi- ble at Granite City South. With the spirit and music groups at South, the spectator sports events were much more of a job to attend. Much time went into preparing for a game by these groups. Red Pep- pers spend long hours after school painting banners, while cheer- leaders were learning new cheers. The pom pon squad, the flag squad, and the band had the responsibility of providing half-time en- tertainment. The chorus classes and the Swing Choir promoted spirit by per- forming at assemblies. Could you imagine what it would be like without these different groups at South? by Chris Peterson 227 228 BAND Band members: Row 1 Greg Rob- erts, Cliff Gassett, Dana Churovich, Amy Hartman, Mary Grace, Paula Deruntz, Jan Sheley, Kathy Juhasy, Vickie Smith, Barry Rideout, Row 2 John Kirkpatrick, Phil Hagen, Danny McCommis, Sherry Chronister, An- drea Smith, Rhonda Goforth, David Menendez, Stephanie Lovachiff, Robert Malench, Tom Gagich, Row 3 Ji Hoon Chang, Todd Miller, David Ogen, Nancy Dimitroff, Paula Brown, Carrie Ross, Rita Ellis, Row 4 Gloria Millianis, Carolyn Butts, Ruth Stille, Michelle Staggs. 2.

The band was a very successful group. They traveled to several different con- tests in St. Louis area this year. In every contest they usually came home with a place. The contests were held on week- ends. The band students had to be at school before 6:30 A. M. on a Saturday morning, usually after marching at a foot- ball game the night before. They also played at pep rallies and all- school assemblies. The band was a very big part of the pep rallies. They helped to get everyone into spirit. At school assemblies, the band provided music for the various activities that went on. All members of the band met 4-1 everyday. They also met an hour everyday with the groups they played with such as percussion and brass. Band students were required to pass six basic requirements. The requirements were in playing and clapping rhythms, mi- nor and major scales, knowing musical terms, and to attend all the concerts and rehearsals. BAND 229 1. The South Warrior Band. 2.

Among the spectators, ten of them were there not only to watch, but also to help raise the spirits of the rest of the fans. They were South ' s drum line. At all three of the tournament games, the drummers could be found in front of the fans playing several familiar beats. Bundled in many layers of clothing to protect them from the cold, they got to each game early, and they led the fans in clapping the Indian beat and other beats. The members of the drum line are Rob Malench, Matt Roe, Mike Voss, Robert Ruth, Tom Gaguch, Ricky Sutton, Amy Hartman, Paula Mathenia, Tom Richmond, and Jennifer Campi- on. Driven up to Chicago by Joseph Owens and Berta Milianas, the drummers stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. BAND 231 232 BAND 3 1. Concert band: Row 1 Mary Grace, J.

SWINGING TO THE BEAT by Debbie Moad The Southern Express Swing Choir con- sisted of thirty very talented people. There were fifteen girls, one of which was an ac- companiest and sixteen boys, two were in- strumentalists. The group met on tuesdays and thursdays from 3:30 to 4:45. Mrs. Bright handled the dress attire, but she got the opinion of the choir before making the final decision. The girls chose a burgundy dress and the boys wore white slacks with a pink shirt. The Swing Choir performed at many dif- ferent events this year, such as the Mariott Hotel in St. Louis, the township hall, and at other schools. They also performed a med- ley of Christmas songs on cable television. The Swing Choir was also featured on a lo- cal radio show. The choir performed at al- most all school events such as, the Christ- mas assembly. They not only sang, but also did dance numbers to the music. The Swing Choir members were full of hard work and dedication. Some perfor- mances were held during the school day for senior citizens groups and ladies clubs, this meant that the choir had to miss some classes and catch up the next day. Sopho- more Jennifer Little commented, I ' v e been in Swing Choir for two years and really en- joy it. Although it is a lot of hard work, I have made several friends in the choir and we really have fun performing.” MUSIC 235 KEEP IT UP by Debbie Moad The Vocal Department consisted of sev- eral different choirs each specializing in a certain type of music. Girls Glee met for a half hour everyday. They sang a variety of music. Contando was a beginning chorus usually for freshmen girls. They were required to pass tests over music notes and rythems. Advanced Mixed Chorus consists of ju- niors and seniors. They are chosen for their ability to read music, the ability to cooper- ate in a group and their voice quality. To be in the Modern Music Masters stu- dents must maintain a B average in all aca- demic subjects and an A average in music. Students must be either sophomores, ju- niors, or seniors. They should have a good character and demomstrate a spirit of coo- peration. The local chapter of Modern Mu- sic Masters was founded in 1958. H 236 MUSIC 3 1. Mary Bright leads all the singing. 2.

Consisting of nineteen girls, the flag squad practiced everyday during 4-1 class period and Mondays and Wednesdays after school until 4:35. They had performed in the halftime shows, in the May Day show, and march with the band and pom- pons in parades. The girls tried out for the squad in the spring and just before the second semester. Because the squad consisted of first-year members except for three girls, the squad was forced to start from the beginning. They devised some very cute routines to Pink Panther ' s Theme, Arthur ' s Theme, and Robert E. Lee. They also sold various items to raise money. Their moneymaking projects included holding a yard sale, a bake sale, a car wash, raffling a doll house, and selling candy. The captains for the squad were Vicki Szymchek and Karen Moore, and the sponser was Joseph Owens. FLAG SQUAD 241 1.

Besides promoting a lot of enthusiasm, the girls provided live entertainment at pep rallies as well as football and basketball games. Although the audience only viewed the perfected routines, many hours of hard work and practice were the secret ingredi- ents to their success. Working hard during summer practices, the girls were able to prepare their football half-time shows - but that was merely the beginning. Once school began, the pom pon squad could always be found outside during fourth hour practicing for various parades, games, and marching competitions. As if that were not enough, the girls also spent two nights a week after school for rehearsals. Under the instruction of Mr. Joseph Owens, the girls practiced marching drills and were able to place in a high position at the Washington Marching Festival. Laura Shanks, captain of the squad, cheoreographed the dancing routines. Her excellent leadership gave the squad its organization which contributed to their great success. Others who helped in orga- nizing the Dixie Dolls were: historian Lori Saltich, and co-captains Michelle Lom- bardi and Missy Pennell. Senior Laura Shanks commented, All of our girls worked really hard all year and I ' m very proud of our accomplishments. We be- came very close friends as we practiced and learned from each other as the year progressed. POM PON 243 THE ONES TO COUNT ON FOR SPIRIT by Patty Burch Did you ever wonder who organized those exciting pep rallies, or who painted those colorful banners that gave the Gran- ite City South Warriors the enthusiasm to go out and win? The Red Peppers Organi- zation was responsible for much of this great show of spirit. The spirit promoted by this club throughout the school year was tremendous. Being a Red Pepper member wasn ' t al- ways fun and games. The girls worked very hard before and after school to have ban- ners and signs ready by the time the big game rolled around. They also had meet- ings to attend and business matters to dis- cuss. The girls put much time and effort into promoting spirit throughout the school. Secret Pals were another big part of the Red Pepper Organization. The girls got to show their favorite player how much they appreciate his hard work and determina- tion. For 3 days the girl sends her pal little notes and goodies to his classes. She also decorates his locker and puts up var- ious signs for him in the hallways of the school. The players agree that this extra attention makes them more enthusiastic and ready for their games. Junior Colleen Kosek commented, Being a secret pal lets the guys on the team know how much we appreciate the job they do. It also gives you a chance to get to know them a little better. Coach Don Deterding sponsored this years Pep Club. He was an active part of the organization, especially at pep rallies, and he really tried to show the school what spirit was all about. Senior Cheryl Thomason became presi- dent of the Red Peppers Organization for the second year in a row. Cheryl had a big job on her hands, but with hard work and effort, she handled it very well. The other board members included Chris Siers, Lori Allen, Debbie Daugherty, Connie Popmarkoff, Karen Moore, Jenny Will, and Kris Barnhart. 1. Red Pepper Officers and Board Members.

To lead the yells and cheers of the fans was the job of the cheerleaders. Throughout the year the individual cheerleading groups, known as squads, encouraged their various Warrior teams onto victory. To become a cheerleader, a girl must have attended three out of four practices and then tried out before a panel of teach- ers serving as judges. Requirements in- cluded gymnastics, jumps, individual and group cheers. Football and soccer squads were chosen a year ahead of time because the games began soon after the start of school. The varsity football squad endured many cold nights cheering on their foot- ball Warriors. Bundling up in long under- wear, sweat pants, and gloves did make the two hour exposure to the cold a little more bearable. They stuck with their team through thick and thin. Another cheerleading squad that had to cheer in all the elements was the soccer squad. This year the varsity squad helped the fans cheer the Warriors onto another state championship. Both wrestling and basketball cheer- leaders enjoyed the warmth of the indoors as their sports played in the winter. Not only did the varsity teams have cheerleaders, but there were squads for the junior varsity, as well as freshmen and sophomore teams. It was a very big honor to those girls who were chosen as cheerleaders. They devot- ed much of their precious weekend time to attend both home and away games. At times they got as much of a workout as did the teams for which they were cheering. The woman behind the scenes that had the large responsibility of managing the cheerleaders was advisor Beverly Fra- zier. The Granite City South cheerleaders were highly appreciated by the members of the teams they represented. CHEERLEADERS 247 1.

For many, this something became a great accomplishment to be re- membered for a long time by themselves and the school. The girls cross country team did very well by ad- vancing to sectionals. The golf team did remarkably well also. The Granite City Kickers regained the state soccer title making them state champs for another year. Not only did these sports help with physical devel- opment, but they also helped many people make close friendships and learn to take the good along with the bad. A sense of matur- ity was gained. Mr. James Dumont commented, Sports activities keep the students busy, and give them something to look forward to besides the rou- tine of classes. by Chris Peterson SPORTS 251 252 1.

FOOTBALL % V FOOTBALL WARRIOR GRIDDERS ON THE MOVE As the season opened, Belleville East was the first game for the Warrior gridders. The Lancers shut out the Warriors 55-0 in the opener. Things did not go well for the Warriors in the next game when they lost to O ' Fallon with a score of 41-0. Coach McKechan commented to the Granite City Press-Record, We ' ve gone eight quarters now and we haven ' t scored. There ' s not a whole lot of effort out there from our offensive line. The Warrior football team scored a touchdown in the next game, but still fell to the Edwardsville Tigers 35-8. Don Ham- mond drove over the line for South ' s first sore of the season. Hannibal was the opposition for Granite South ' s homecoming game. The Pirates pounced the Warriors 53-0 in a homecom- ing loss for South. Quarterback John Lin- hart was sidelined and diagnosed as having broken ribs. X-rays later proved they were only bruised ribs and John would continue the season. Granite South broke their winless streak when they spoiled the Cahokia Coman- ches homecoming with a 19-16 score. The Warriors were now 1-7 for the season. Granite South then traveled to Mount Vernon to finish the football season; The Mount Vernon Rams beat the Warrior gridders on a cold breezy night. The final record of the season for the Granite War- riors was 1-8. They had finally broken their losing streak. At the end of the season the Football Warriors were honored with a banquet. When asked about the season Dominic Griffin commented, We worked very hard throughout the season and it paid off when we beat Cahokia. Now we will have something to talk about when we get to- gether in the years to come. by Lori Forrest FOOTBALL 253 1. VARSITY FOOTBALL-Row 1.

It was Dad ' s night at the football game. Each father or his standin wore his boy ' s number and was intro- duced before the start of the game. With seats on the sidelines, the fathers never missed a play. After the game, the fathers were treated to refreshments in the gymnasi- um. Joe Linhart commented to the Granite City Press Record, He (John) takes a beating every week. This is the first time he ' s started on defense. The loss dropped the Warriors to a record of 0-4 on the season. It became the Comanches first win of the year. The game was close and the Warriors were much more tougher than the Cahokia Comanches had expected. With 18 sec- onds left in the game, the Comanches scored a touchdown and ran in a 2-point conversion to make the final score of the game. Even in defeat, the fathers were still proud of the team and the Warriors had nothing to be ashamed of. Granite South would soon challenge the Cahokia Co- manches again and the tables would turn. Even with another loss, the War- riors practiced even harder for the next competition they would meet. The North Steelers would be their next op- ponents.

The sound of the buzzer was finally heard. The game was over. The Granite South Warriors had beaten the Cahokia Comanches, 19-16. It was their first win in over three years and 26 games. Cries of joy were heard as players and coaches embraced each other in victory. Many cried and many jumped with tri- umph, as Cahokia coach Lawrence Tay- lor Jr. hung his head in loss of the Caho- kia homecoming game. The losing Co- manche team glumly looked on and slowly proceeded off the field in defeat. A 33 yard pass caught by Bob Dietrich with 3:57 left in the game, was the cause for celebration. After that, the Warriors only had to hold their opponents and watch the seconds on the clock tick away. With an interception by John Conkovich, the Warriors knew they had the game. The football players returned home to a welcome of cheers and honking of horns. It had been a long time since Granite South had won a football game. Football players realized that as celebra- tion was found after the game. Victory had been on their side that night and they treasured every moment of it. The losing streak was over. by Lori Forrest FOOTBALL 257 2 1. The 1982 tri-captains are Bill Hency, Barry Crote, and Tony Segobiano. 2.

SOCCER BAKER NAMED NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR No one realizes the gift Granite City High School South has until Coach Gene Baker is mentioned. The success throughout the season was not merely luck, but strategy, the best of coaching, and hard work. In this storybook season, the kickers accomplished every presea- son goal despite intense pressure and adversity. When viewing the season, Baker re- plies, Each player realized his essential role which is necessary for a team ' s ef- forts to culminate in a state champion- ship. The 1982 tri-captains gave the var- sity soccer team its most effective lead- ership in a decade of play. The team exemplified high school athletic excel- lence and maturity. Gene Baker has made many opportu- nities possible for player publicity. He created the popular Tournament of Champions which basically became rec- ognized as the most prestigious high school soccer tournament of the United States. Baker replies, I felt it was a way to give the South players more expo- sure, which would result in more schol- arships. Even after the season play, Baker was still at work occupying his spare time by recruiting colleges for his players. Coach Baker comments, Usually the contact is initiated by me. The needs of the stu- dent university and college team are held uppermost in mind. Granite City South should be very proud of so many graduates who have attended college. It is that connection and pride in former players that makes the coaching process worthwhile. In conclusion, Baker said, I would like to thank everyone. Specifically, however, I owe a great debt of gratitude to the South administration, Coach Bunting, the varsity soccer team and my family for the sustained support that was necessary for South ' s soccer program to reach such unparalleled heights. by Gina Graham SOCCER 259 260 1.

SOCCER — SOCCER — WE ' VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES The 1982 Soccer Warriors finished a remarkable season record of 29-2, plac- ing not only first in the Gateway East Conference, but also the first ever to have a shutout all conference title. The backfield could be described as a wall” against the opponents allowing only 11 goals to pass the Sophomore goalie, Jeb Blasingame. Consisting of mainly Seniors, the play- ers were well-prepared and exper- ienced and were determined to achieve all pre-season goals. The crosstown rival brought much haste between both teams, but South resulted ahead in all challenges. The Warriors shut-out North 4-0, which was the most goals scored against them in all of the meetings of South North games. With victory on their mind, South travelled to Chicago to face the tough Glenbrook North Tournament. The top four teams in the state competed, and once again, our Warriors finished on top. Only two Missouri teams managed to defeat our Warriors in season games; and comeback was in turn. South fought back to defeat both high rated Quincy teams, North, and the defending State Champions, Collinsville, with a 4-0 vic- tory. Now for the highlight of the 1982 sea- son . . . the Tournament of Champions. South opened the tournament on the right foot while Tony Segobiano skillful- ly places the ball in the net scoring both of two goals scored against Reitz Memo- rial. Next, Warriors zonked the powerful DeSmitt, which placed the kickers in the final game against McCluer North. The Warriors came through again finishing as the champions of the Tournament of Champions. Captains Tony Segobiano and Bill Hency were nominated to play on the all tourney team, while Hency was voted Most Valuable Player of the entire tournament. MVP Billy Hency adds, Being nominated MVP was prob- ably the biggest honor I have ever had. The opposing teams were good, but we were better. We ' ve got the trophy.” by Gina Graham SOCCER 261 SOCCER SOUTH DID IT AGAIN Soccer fever sizzles long before the state tournament is underway at the soc- cer capitol of Illinois, Granite City South. The drastic upset concerning Collinsville the previous year, obviously increased the determination of the fighting War- riors to regain the championship title in ' 82. The kickers trained all year round in purpose of one goal — to be the 1982 Illinois State Champions. In regional play, South swept Assump- tion off the field which meant another challenge with Granite City North. Ner- vous, but confident, the Warriors out- played the Steelers at a 2-1 victory with a last minute Segobiano arrow penalty kick. Advancing to the Sectional bracket facing Collinsville, South did it again with a dominating 2-1 victory. Fritz Brewer played excellant with Bill Hency, pounding the ball in the net. The over confident Alton Marquete fell with a 2-0 loss, and the Warrior kickers earned the 8th trip to the state finals under Coach Gene Baker. Playing on a muddy field and windy weather in Northfield, John Menendez and Bill Hency struck again, easily plac- ing two goals in the Downer ' s Grove net. In the semifinal game against Chicago Senn, Tony Segobiano headed a winner past the goalie with the assist going to Barry Grote. Reaching their destination, the final game was next on the agenda. While the crowded stands roared, the high and mighty Warriors fell behind, but quickly redeemed the score to a 2-1 victory. While Sophomore goalie Jeb Blasingame kept control, Junior Nathan Crane played the game of his life scoring both goals. Glistening eyes were over-joyed while the gold medals were handed out; the Warriors took the traditional victory lap with the rebel flag. This is a record breaking team of 29-2. I ' m really proud of this group, says Coach Baker. South wins the sixth crown and now claims the highest honor of all, the State Champion Title of 1982. by Gina Graham — i § 1.

SOCCER 263 — SOCCER — EYE OF THE TIGER When entering Granite City, one will notice a marker signifying the home of the 1976, 77, 78, 79, and ' 80 state high school soccer champions. This will be corrected shortly since the 1982 War- riors brought the title back to Granite City. The feat of six state title crowns is the culmination of twenty years of building a program which started in 1960 by a man named Ruben Mendoza. Ruben started the program with the help of the Granite City YMCA, and with a lot of encouragement. Before long, the program proceeded in full swing. The entire team trained off season, under Ruben himself, playing in various indoor and outdoor leagues. A high- lighted event accomplished by the play- ers in the summer months was defeating a highly skilled West Germany team. Barry Grote states, I feel that the team as a whole has improved thier confi- dence and skills throughout the year by competing against older and competi- tive teams. As a result of hard work and dedica- tion, the young men gradually obtained the highest goal of any soccer player — being recognized as the State Champi- ons. In the season finale, South held a best-ever record of 29-2 walking over the Gate-Way East Conference teams, dominating the Glenbrook North Tour- nament, taking the trophy in the Tour- nament of Champions, and obtaining the state title. Displaying Warrior qual- ity, Tony Segobiano, Barry Grote, and Bill Hency clenched positions on the all sectional team and all state tourney team. Hency not only was selected to all-state recognition, but also was an- nounced All-American. Having a winning season took work and discipline. The Warriors achieved more in one season than any other team in the state will ever do. by Gina Graham ™ 264 SOCCER 4 1.

The Cross Country team consisted of both boys and girls even though they ran in separate races. The weak point in this year ' s team was the inexperience of the boy ' s team, but Coach Richard Har- mon was optimistic and felt that the boy ' s team would do better next year. The lady harriers had good balance and the outlook for next year is favorable although the team lost a couple of good runners who will have to be replaced. Throughout the season the boy ' s teams biggest victory came with a sec- ond place finish in South ' s Quad meet. The girl ' s team went even further and won the conference championship. This victory Coach Harmon attributed to poise, hard work, and experience. South ' s Lori Wiser finished forty-sixth. She was considered one of the best run- ners in the area. Honors and awards were extended at the team banquet at the end of the sea- son. Among the boys, Todd Scrum was the Most Valuable Player and Mr. Road Runner. Curt Smith was the Most Im- proved team member and Bob Shaw was the Outstanding Freshman. Honors to the girls went to Lori Wiser as Number One Runner, Mary Bisch was named Most Consistent, and Michelle Shoe- maker and Connie Williamson shared the honor of Most Improved. by Ellen Pistone — CROSS COUNTRY 267 f CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING WITH THE PACK Most people do not understand how a person can enjoy running so far a dis- tance, panting and sweating along the way, for no obvious reason except for a victory at the finish line. This makes cross country a very unique sport. The individ- ual must be very much in shape in order to endure the long run ahead of him. In most sports the athlete knows the conditions under which he will compete, but this does not apply to cross country. Each time a meet is held the course changes and a runner may not be able to anticipate how well he will do. The course lengths vary from 1.7 to 2.2 miles in girls meets and from 2.7 to 3.2 miles in boys meets. Usually there are three different races at each meet. There is a freshmen-sopho- more boys race, a varsity boys race and a varsity girls race. Large invitationals will sometimes hold a fun run for the junior varsity harriers. The size of the fields range from the smallest containing twen- ty runners to the largest, the state meet, in which three hunared compete. Often before a meet, and after stretch- ing excercises, the team assembles to dis- cuss which teams will pose the most problems in the upcoming races. While running, the athlete looks for the colors of the team uniforms ahead of him in order to stride better and longer and perhaps move up a number of positions. Usually after the first mile one will know what position he will finish in. There is always the constant ambition for a medal. After crossing the finish line the run- ners only thought is of going off and walking alone instead of being congradu- lated by team members. Many who run cross country do not initially intend to participate in that sport. Cross country conditions a runner for other sports such as track. Senior Mary Romine commented on how she became interested in cross country, One day I heard on the announcements that cross country runners were needed so I thought I would go out for cross country to help me in track. Injuries play a large part in the success of a cross country team; and depending on the athlete ' s condition, recuperation time differs. Common injuries are shin splints, pulled muscles, and cramps. To avoid such injuries vigerous stretching excercises are done before running and at both practices and meets. A good pair of running shoes will also aid in avoiding injuries. The body must be in excellent shape before even considering competing in cross country, so obviously much running is done at the practices. During the sum- mer an athlete may also wish to keep fit by individually running in order to be- come a member of the 500 Mile Club. As the title suggests, a person must accumu- late 500 miles of running to qualify for this unique club. Cross country may not rank as one of the nation ' s top spectator sports such as baseball and football, but running is quickly becoming a favorite American pastime. Those who participate in the sport of cross country find it challenging and rewarding. by Ellen Pistone 1. Coach Harmon discusses strategy with team mem- bers before a meet. 2.

CROSS COUNTRY 269 GOLF WORKING FOR A HOLE IN ONE The 1982 Warrior golf team coached by Boone Chaney had a winning season. This was the first winning season they ' ve had in the past eight years. The Warrior golf team had twenty- one matches in total. The team did quite well winning eleven out of the twenty- one games as a season total. One of the biggest team achievements was defeating Belleville West and Belle- ville East. This might have been the first time that South Warrior golfers have succeeded these two teams. There were fourteen golfers ranging from freshmen to senior that made up the Warrior team. Six golfers were awarded Varsity letters with the youn- gest, Mike Sturman, being a freshman. There were many new editions to the team including Junior, Tim Phelps. It having been my first year playing golf, I learned it ' s not as easy as it looks, com- mented Tim. There were trophies and individual achievements awarded to various play- ers. Ken Rapp and Randy Thurman both had the lowest 9 hole average of 41.6. The two golfers finished fourth out of twenty-four teams in the Centrailia Tourney. Jeff Pare and John Tackett fol- lowed finishing sixth in the tourney. Jeff Pare was awarded as Most Improved, he also qualified for the sectional tourna- ment with a score of 82. Mike Sturman, the only freshman who received a varsity letter, was awarded as Outstanding Freshman. Next years season should be another success while only losing two seniors and hopefully gaining many new enthu- siastic players. by Dana Wood 270 GOLF ' V 2 4 1.

Although they won very few of their matches, they are looking forward to next year ' s team being much better. Their coach, Paul Grieve, shares this feeling, “We have got the whole team coming back except Nancy Jones. Exper- ience was our weakest point. Only one half of our team has played tennis be- fore. The lack of experience proved to be the biggest factor in the poor out- come of the season. Comprised of ten girls, the team be- came close and had a great deal of fun together. They also worked very hard at practice s and were dedicated to making the tennis team be the best one it could be. Paul Grieve was extremely enthusias- tic about junior, Dina Lombardi. “Dina is my best player. She was much stronger and experienced than last year. Dina commented, “Being on the tennis team was a lot of fun, and I ' m sure it will be even better next year. My personal goal next year will be to do the best I can and improve over this year. Other returning letter winners were Nancy Jones, a senior; Laura Smolar, a junior; Sandy Hagen, also a junior; and Mary Ruth, a sophomore. The other members of the team were Andrea Suarez, Linda Briner, Dawn Bowers, Tammy Knight, and Lori Martin. At the recognition banquet, Dina Lombardi was awarded Most Valuable Player, Nancy Jones was awarded Most Dedicated, and Sandy Hagen was awarded Most Im- proved. All girls on the team, however, benefited and deserved some award, commented Paul Greve, I thought Lau- ra Smolar and Andrea Suarez also were very valuable to the team. by Linda Dupont GIRLS TENNIS 273 — TENNIS — WHERE LOVE IS NOT THE ANSWER Withstanding a severe beating daily during practices as well as the wear and tear of several grueling matches, the Penn 5 tennis balls can reveal the truth about the 1982 girls tennis team. Al- though the girls didn ' t have a very suc- cessful season, they learned by their mis- takes. The battered balls represent the hours of practice and concentration the girls went through. Building up their sta- mena and ability, the girls repetedly re- turned their own serves and hits from a backboard while experiencing the feel of a lengthy match. Backhanded returns and over-handed serves were two of the most tedious drills exercised excessively throughout the season. The team had a good attitude toward the sport and showed great effort as well as enthusiasm. Together with tennis coach Paul Grieves, they set high goals for the season. For the Warrior girls, the grace and relaxation others find in the leisure sport of tennis is their ambition and aggression. The girls worked closely together throughout the season to im- prove their skills and help each other to grow as better athletes. The future for the girls team looks very promising as the popularity of the sport increases. It has become a large spectator sport as people become more interested in pro- fessional tennis. It is a fun activity en- joyed by all. This irresistable challenge can sometimes lead to a very intensifing match. At times, the courts can be a pris- on of anger which confines its hostages to the boundries of white lines and a mere net. While at other times, the skill- ful players love to watch victoriously as the ball bounces from inside the borders of her opponents court. Yet only in the game of tennis can love be equal to by Kathy Zeugin 274 GIRLS TENNIS 1.

GIRLS TENNIS 275 ICE HOCKEY PUCKER UP The Warrior hockey team started their fifth season under the direction of coach Garry Hensen. This was his first year as the Warriors coach. He had previously coached the Hazlewood East High School hockey team. His assistant this year was Steve Dioneda. The team captain this year for the Warriors was Bill Schrieber. Ron Snelson and Matt Laub were both alternate captains. Some improvements were made this year. Team member Ray Romine commented, Last year we averaged only one practice per week; this year we had two. That might not seem like much but when there ' s money involved you make the best with what you have. As with most seasons there ' s one game you want to forget and one that you ' ll always re- member. Such was the case when the War- riors played Hazlewood West High School. When the Warriors went into the game to win they didn ' t expect it to be so easy. Team captain Bill Schrieber had a great per- formance, with three goals, the only hat-trick of the game. Mark Richey scored two goals as did Dave Yurkovich. To add to the whopping victory were Ray Romine ' s and Steve Stegel- meyers single goals. The Warriors won the game with the score of 9-3. Returning next year are 13 players. The only freshmen, Tom Schnefke, was goalie this sea- son. The Warriors are hoping for a better sixth season next year. by Tim Phelps — ■ 276 ICE HOCKEY 1.

South could very well have been rated 8th or 9th, but the team played six of the top seven teams, two matches each. This accounted for 12 of the 15 losses on the season. South traditionally beat North in two games. North had gone to camp the pre- vious summer and improved. They final- ly defeated South in one game. In the Collinsville Round Robin, Gran- ite South lost all games, but surprised all the other teams with their improvement in playing. The over-confident Kahoks had a big surprise when South took them to 3 games. South had previously played a hard game against Freeburg, which only led to South being tired and Collinsville rested for the game. Further into the season, the Warriors faced the Althoff Crusaders, and sur- prised them greatly. Althoff usually dominated a volleyball game. This year, not only did South hold Althoff from attacks, but even beat them in one game. The biggest victory of the season was the win over Belleville East. For East, it was just an upset; but for South, it was a thrill. For Coach Schulze it was her 99th win. The defeat over Roxana, the last match on the schedule, was her 100th. South lost to Lincoln in the Regionals. Lincoln ' s team consisted of 4 players over six feet tall, which made it hard to spike around their blocks. South was not outplayed, but they felt Lincoln had got- ten the breaks at the end of the game. South ' s Coach Schulze was very proud of her players. She feels her volleyball players need to be involved for more than 2 months of the year. She will soon prepare for next year ' s season. by Lori Forrest VOLLEYBALL 279 1.

Among 25 girls, their strongest qualities were serving, setting and defensive tactics with the volleyball. Service receive and attacking were some of the weaker points of the team. Size wise the varsity team was short. Throughout the season the most often heard comment was, South has a nice little team. With an average height of 5 ' 5 , our high school volleyball team was short. Allison Boyd was the Most Valuable Player. She was the most effec- tive setter South has ever had. Allison was a team captain and she gave her teammates constant support. In return, she should be given credit for the team ' s togetherness. Gina Graham, also a team captain, was a fine server and a smart hitter, who should be recognized as a valuable player. Gina played well for her team especially in pressure situations. A banquet was given in honor of the team, for their hard work and accomplishments of the season. Trish Sk inner received Best Spiker , while Theresa Soellner was given Best Receiver . Captain Allison Boyd walked away with Best Server and Best Setter . Next year ' s team will be young and will lack experience playing on the varsity level. Vicki Smith will be the only returning starter of this year ' s varsity team. Among the Freshmen players this year, there is a potential group which shows great pressure for a good team in the future. by Lori Forrest VOLLEYBALL 281 BASKETBALL THE BIG BOY ' S GAME It wasn ' t the best year for the Warrior Basketball team, but the players learned alot about working together and team work from the hectic 1982-83 season. The team was dominated by the scoring power of Captain Pat Linhart. Linhart scored an average of twenty points per game. I haven ' t seen Pat have a bad game this season, commented Gary Apperson, a fellow team mate. Coach Don Deterding commented that Linhart, along with the squad as a whole, played very competi- tive, and they accomplished more than their record showed. There was alot of talent on the team. The only prob- lem we had, was that we couldn ' t seem to find the ' magic ingredient ' to win more games, said Coach Deterding about the 1982-83 season. He also said that it was an unusual season for both the coach and the players. There were a few highlights that made the season worth while for the Warriors. The major highlight being the triumphant victory over cross town rivals, Granite North. We always work extra hard for the game with North, and it felt great to win, commented Nathan Crane, Junior. Outstanding performances were given this season by several players. They all contributed to the Warrior cause, and played well through another exciting season of basketball. by Patty Burch 282 BOY ' S BASKETBALL 1. Varsity Basketball.

BOY ' S BASKETBALL 283 BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT FEVER Basketball is a game of skill and en- durance, and the Varsity team from Granite City South seemed to show an abundance of those qualities. During the 1982-83 season, the basketball War- riors were honored to get an opportu- nity to play in two very prestigious tournaments that gave them a chance to show their skills. The first of these, the Quincy Invita- tional Tournament, proved to be the most demanding of the two. Basketball teams from all areas of Illinois came to participate, and the turnout was tre- mendous. The Warriors were up against some of the best teams in the state, and although they did not come out on top in scoring, the team mem- bers did show their many talents. The games played in this tournament held at Quincy, were the first games of the season for the Warriors. They played well, and proved that they had the talent and potential to have a win- ning season. The combined efforts of Pat Linhart, Barry Grote, and Junior Paul Macios led the Warriors to some close scoring games. I ' m proud of the job that the team did. They showed alot of determination and played very well, commented Varsity Coach Don Deterding. Centralia was the sight of the next big tournament for the Warriors. The Var- sity squad was up against some of the best teams in the area. The team, which consisted of seniors, juniors, and a few energetic sophomores, worked hard to try and outscore their opponents. The final outcome of the tournament did not show the group effort that was put forth by the dedicated players. During both of these prestigious tournaments the Warrior basketball team showed their discipline and dedi- cation on the court as well as off the court. They played fair, and showed a great amount of respect for the oppos- ing teams and coaches. by Patty Burch i 284 BOYS ' BASKETBALL 7 1.

BOYS ' BASKETBALL 285 BASKETBALL WARRIOR PRIDE Basketball is a very popular sport everywhere, and Granite City is no different. Each season, dedicated fans come to cheer the Warriors to victory. Of course the cheerleaders help in this great show of enthusiasm. They work to get the crowd rowdy and the players ready for an excit- ing evening of grueling competi- tion. The Varsity games weren ' t the only games that drew crowds. The Junior Varsity, Sophomore, and Freshman teams also had their share of loyal fans. After all, the young gentlemen who enthusiasti- cally participated in the games are the Varsity stars of tomorrow. Of course the Warrior band was always on hand to play Dixie” and other crowd-pleasing songs. The pom-pon squad performed at half time for a very appreciative crowd. They did routines that took long hours of practice, and the crowd responded accordingly. The spirit that charged the gym- nasium with electricity could be felt by all who were present. The thrill of intense competition and expectation of a Warrior victory kept everyone on the edge of their seat. The loyal fans couldn ' t wait for the weekends to see the Warriors in action. There were even fans who traveled to away games just to see their favorite team. Everyone who showed up for the games showed an abundance of Warrior Pride during the en- tire season. They proved the point that Basketball is a very popular sport in Granite City. by Patty Burch — J 286 BOYS ' BASKETBALL 3 1. Paul Macios outdoes his opponent and goes for two. 2. Freshman Basketball.

BOYS ' BASKETBALL 287 GIRLS BASKETBALL LADIES OF THE COURT As the 1982-83 basketball season opened for the Lady Warriors, they faced a problem. Their greatest weak point was their lack of experience. Only two experienced players re- turned to play the season this year. But with the help of Coach Gary Morgan the girls re- mained optimistic on the season Coach Morgan was assisted this season by Barry Schroeder and manager Joe Betts. Coach Morgan has been the varsity coach for three years and has held the assistant coach position, for one year, in the past. When asked to comment on the season, Kathy Thornsberry replied, Even though our season was not outstanding as far as winning was concerned, my personal gains were well worth the time and effort. Another sopho- more player, Lisa Adams responded, We gained some self-confidence; even though we may not have won many games, we still knew we did our best. It was an important season for the Lady Cagers, for they were rebuilding their skills and techniques. This was a valuable exper- ience for the majority of the team. Only two seniors, Susan Schnefke and Trish Skinner, played this season. That meant, most of the girls will be returning to play next year ' s sea- son with the ability and knowledge to win. by Lori Forrest 288 GIRLS BASKETBALL 4 1.

Little experience hampered the Lady Warriors throughout the season. The team started out with only two seniors, Trish Skinner and Susan Schnefke. Coach Gary Morgan hoped that as the season progressed the team ' s record would improve. Out of this lack of experience came hope for the future. Since the 1982 team consisted mostly of underclass- man, Coach Morgan was optimistic that this youth would help future teams. One of the highlights of the season was the Warrior ' s comeback victory over Cahokia. Trish Skinner proved to be one of the more outstanding players on the team. Although their schedule was tough, the girls basketball team upheld their reputations as Warriors. — — — — by Ellen Pistone — GIRLS BASKETBALL 291 1.

With their greatest win over East St. Louis, the South matmen put all of their effort into taking the meet with a 49 to 16 score. The un- derclassmen gained a valuable experience from the seniors. Many times they looked up to the more experienced wrestlers to make their meets victorious. Such out- standing wrestlers were Jon Frangoulis, Paul Hitchcock, and Dave Brown. They were the only three seniors on the start- ing team. Jon Frangoulis wrestled at 167 , win- ning most of his bouts. He was an excep- tionally good wrestler and accomplished various awards. During his senior year, he wrestled varsity for his third year. Jon was a 1982 State Qualifer and named the Team ' s Winningest Wrestler. Dave Brown was also a 198 2 State Qualifier, wrestling at 185 . Other senior wrestlers were Paul Hitchock, as the team ' s heavyweight, Joe Deshon, and Jeff Kraus. The Senior members weren ' t the only outstanding wrestlers. The team consist- ed of several underclassmen with win- ning records, such as Junior, Mark Dowdy wrestling at 155 and Sophomore, Jeff Cotter wrestling at 98 . The Holiday Wrestling Tourney once again took place shortly after Christmas. Inviting numerous schools to Granite City South, wrestling competitions were held during the afternoon and evening. Dur- ing this 22nd annual tournament, South placed 6th. Individually, Jon Frangoulis placed 2nd at 167 . Even though the South grapplers lost several matches this year, the returning wrestlers hope that the 1984 team will be successful. by Dana Wood WRESTLING 293 2 1.

Mr. William Schmitt, the teams head coach, was one of the essen- tial parts of the wrestling program at South. Coach Schmitt has been coaching for the past thirty-six years. Just as wrestlers achieve awards for their accomplish- ments, Coach Schmitt holds the national recorded as Winningest Coach with 560 victories. He spent his first three years at Western Military Academy and then devoted the remaining thirty-three years at Granite City. Several teachers from the surrounding area helped Mr. Schmitt with the wrestling team. The current assis- tants are Larry Carli from Coolidge and Mike Garland from Madison. The wrestlerettes were a group of girls who helped out during the wrestling meets. These wrestlerettes are a dedicated and unselfish group of girls, comments Coach William Schmitt. by Dana Wood m 296 Wrestling 1.

In fact, the wrestlerettes were responsible for making all the preparations for the meet as well as managing the concession stand. One of their most stenuous tasks was to roll out all of the mats and set up time clocks and then put away after the meet. Like other s tatisticians, they kept both individual and team scores, but they were also re- sponsible for keeping the time during the matches. Their persistant loyalty along with their great enthu- siasm made them the main supporters for the South wrestlers. Along with conference meets, the wrestling War- riors were also involved in several tournaments. Out of all the tournaments held at South, most of them were organized by the wrestlerettes. President Car- rie Ross, who was a junior, assigned specific duties to each girl. Managers Tina Fanoglio and Audra Himm- leright helped keep things under control. Most of the other supporters were freshmen girls who were happy to donate their time to encourage the War- riors. by Kathy Zeugin — 298 WRESTLING QUEENS WRESTLERETTES 1.

Chris Peterson was chosen the 1982-83 Warrior yearbook editor. Dana Wood and Gina Graham were in charge of the senior section. This year ' s staff consisted of many new faces. New staff members included Seniors Ellen Pistone and Lori Forrest, Junior Patty Burch and Sophomores Linda Dupont, Debbie Moad and Kathy Zeugin. A whole new language was found within the walls of the yearbook room. Many students would not understand the terms 3-point tool line or copykey, if they ran across them. If one should ask any yearbook member, they could answer with ease. The creation of a yearbook was not an easy task. First was the decision of what would go in the book and where. A long list of subjects and page num- bers were then formed and used as a guideline for the text. The book also needed a cover. Staff members then viewed many styles and models of covers, while watching the price budget allowed. Phyllis Weiss, part of South ' s art department, had been chosen once again to assist in the production of the cover. Creativity was the chief word fol- lowed by the staff. It was needed in their style of writing and in the place- ment of pictures on a page. They con- stantly tried to capture the student ' s attention with new and unique ideas. Being a part of this staff was an emo- tional experience. To watch a student running toward a camera or turning away was very sportive. Trying to think of a headline while the deadline drew near was frantic. The appreciation one received from fellow class mates on a job well done is worth it. by Lori Forrest — 1. Kathy Zeugin 2.

The staff members struggled to rise at 6:30 each morning to begin their long day. They attended the majority of the lab ses- sions that were held. Some of these sessions lasted long into the night. All the hard work finally paid off in the end when yearbook members from other schools combined their efforts to publish the Quincy Magnet. The Warrior staff got a small taste of col- lege life at Quincy by rooming together in dorm suites. They met many other students from Illinois and Missouri. Fashions at Quincy College ranged from blue jeans and shorts to mini skirts and knickers. Designer labels were found on most articles of clothing. As the yearbook workshop came to a close, everyone was growing full of living off of Doritos, Lorna Doones, and onion dip, and could not wait to get home. All of the South yearbook staff agreed that they would never forget the great times they had at Quincy College. by Ellen Pistone 5 YEARBOOK SENIORS 307 CREDITS Student portraits by Holly- wood-Andrews Studio.

A tight- knit camaraderie devel- oped among the mem- bers of this staff as they worked long hours, on weekends, after school, and on holidays to com- plete deadlines. Final production in- volved reporting, writing text, taking and prepar- ing layouts, and editing many photographs. What began as a few ideas and suggestions soon developed into this 320-page Warrior year- book. 1. DeeMana P. Spudich, sponsor. 2. Patty Burch. 3.

Principal of Granite City High School South during its ten years of existence, 1973 to 1983, James L. Dumont has demonstrated capable leadership. Coming here from Coo- lidge Junior High School in 1972, he returned to the school where, as a young man, he had begun his teaching career. We — students and teachers alike — are fortunate to know and to have worked with Mr. Dumont. During a period of great change in areas ranging from student dress to curricu- lum, his concern, his positive attitude, his guidance were invaluable. Just as he cooperated in establishing a second high school in Granite City, Mr. Dumont will undoubtedly aid in unifying the two schools. A man of character and ideals, he has effectively served this student body and faculty. We wish him success as he prepares to serve this school district in a new administrative position. INDEX 319 1.

Editing the 1983 WARRIOR was an exper- ience that was very valuable to me. I learned responsibility, leadership, and respect. When there are a group of people dedi- cated to doing a job, there are always going to be some conflicts and some good times. Of course this years staff had them. We managed to keep them limited and put to- gether, what I feel, is an outstanding year- book. I want to thank the staff for all of their help and cooperation. Due to my other classes, I was not able to spend as much time in yearbook as I would have liked to. I want to thank DeeMana P. Spudich for working around my schedule, and all of the help and time she contributed to the book. To me this was a special book. Not only because it will be the last yearbook from Granite City High School SOUTH, but be- cause it was a special part of my senior year. — Chris Peterson, 1983 Editor 320 THE END GOOD-BYE
