Yet these days all of us are swept into the floods of inflation, international hostage-taking, foreign monopolies, and distant invasions. We thrash about in frustration, seemingly unable to alter the course of events. I guess that we must reconcile ourselves to living as best we can in times of uncertainty. There will surely also be closer and more personal events over which we do have a say, happenings where we can make a difference. The search for personal fulfillment, the moral and equitable relations with family, friends and strangers, the proper ordering of personal priorities - all of these are within our ability to exercise intelligent and prudent choice. The Greeks long ago advised moderation and balance as guides for living. We can strive for the beautiful and good, even though our reach may often exceed our grasp.

It was during the summer that a frightful feeling dawned in me what will I do as President of the Student Government.” I constantly thought about it and created problems that I could solve. I expected to get what I put in. My aim was to make students aware of some of the issues in our society such as nuclear power and apartheid in South Africa. I had many ideas on how to organize the Student Government to become a more powerful and effective organization. However, organizing is a very diffi- cult task. It was not a course which was taught to me in school; I would have to teach myself. After spending a few weeks as President, I was faced with more problems and frustrations than I had thought of all summer. Unfortunately they were not the same problems that I had created and solved. The major problem was the threat of closed campus. This was a challenge that the sti rtoT -''-nment dealt with quite effectively. After several meet- 76 ings, it was decided that what was needed was a campaign to unite the school. In doing this, school spirits would grow, the negative attitudes would change and a greater respect for the school and faculty would develop, so that closed campus would be unnecessary. Although many of these goals were not accomplished, the problem is now at least manage- able” and there is a more positive attitude towards students. I have enjoyed being president. I have learned to work with people, I have learned to be open-minded, and have gained self-confidence and assertiveness. It has been both fulfilling and inspiring. It required a person who is optimistic and willing to experiment with ideas. The tor- ment of not knowing what to do has turned into an enthusiasm of wanting to do too much. I hope future student governments will be able to work as effectively and cooperatively and will find it as satisfying as I have found Meredith Carlson President STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES B. C. G.

S.W.A.S. is a program at South that enables both students and teachers to carry on the learning process in a more personal environment. In SWAS, stress is placed on fulfilling the needs and goals of the individual. Because of the flexibil- ity of the program, students are able to pursue specific inter- ests, and incorporate their findings into their classes. SWAS students create their own courses, as well as indepen- dent study projects. Various social studies, english, and for- eign language alternatives are open to the members of the program. 84 Exit 33 is more than just our turn off on the Long Island Expressway, it's South's literary and art magazine. Under the guidance of Marcia Weinberg, the students involved review and se- lect which works of art will be included in one of theri bi-yearly editions.

Graduation which is a special milestone in each seniors life will surely be most rewarding come June.

Despite some disappointing losses at the buzzer and during overtimes, the team put out a great effort and kept the fans sitting on the edge of their seats. Tri-captains Steven Garfinkel, Butch Quinn, and David Swirsky proved to be outstanding leaders as they pulled the team through some of their toughest competition, such as Hempstead and Lynbrook.

South's finish of second in the Conference with an impressive record of 5-1-1 is something which each of these girls can be proud. The following girls were chosen to be on the 1979 League III All-Star team; Captain Karen Mones, Defense woman Anne Marie Buffone, Center half-back Robin Koota, super-frosh goalie Annie Salowski, and leading scorer (Marion (pizmo) Chiofalo.

VISTA Felice Heppenheimer, Editor Great Neck South 341 Lakeville Road Great Neck, New York 11020 To paraphrase the song Taps, “The year is over, the work on Vista is done. The joys of our years at South remain with us, and hopefully, through this yearbook, will stay with us in the years to come. Those of us who worked on Vista this past year have had the pleasure of watching it grow from an unrelated group of ideas into a complete and (in our opinion) great yearbook. The pages of copy are finally put to bed; the pictures have been cropped and captioned, and the last argument resolved. I will always retain the happy memories of working to bring this year's Vista into being. The laughter of the staff, their dedication, creativity, and ingenuity will never be forgotten. As you leaf through these pages I hope that they will bring a smile to your face and a warm glow to your heart, both now and in the future. The job has been long and hard. It is one that has been accomplished by a team of dedicated and hard working people, all of whom I would like to thank. To the following a special heartfelt Thank you. To Meryl Root and Lisa Steinberg who did our bookkeeping, took ads, and helped to promote our book. Without you it couldn't have been done. To Melanie Grossman, Beth Jacobs and Sandy Dotti, who worked so long and hard to do the art work, and the designing of the pages that give this book a character all its own. To Jacki Leder and Ellen Liebowitz who helped to create the blaze of color that is the senior section. To Rob Koerner and Donald Mones whose visual acuity have so enhanced these pages. To Jill Samit and Tracy Lieber whose words have knit this production together. To Celvia Jones who was always there when needed and cheerfully helped without hesitation. A special thank you to Ira Goldwyn for all of his help and assistance. During the rough moments he could be counted upon. To Mr. Levine who got us through the business end of Vista, helping to make it possible. Without you we, the seniors of 1980, would not be in living color. To Mr. Levitt, who lived through my trials and tribulations, yet always had a consoling thought and encouraging words. Without your patience and understanding none of this could have happened. To Mr. Blum and the office staff, I thank you for your cooperation, concern and assistance. Last, but surely not least, the class of '80. You are Vista: it is your creation and you should be proud of it. As we enter the era of the '80's I commit to you great happiness, joy and hope for your successful futures. Now, with a final sigh and the greatest feeling of relief, I end my letter and send this book to print. 183 From All Us To All Of You And Con gra tula tions To The Graduating Class Sandra Dotti Tracy Lieber Melanie Grossman Donald Mones Beih Jacobs Meryl Root Robert Koerner Jill Samit Jacqueline Leder Lisa Steinberg Ellen Leibowitz Good Luck Felice Heppenheimer Beautiful Plants FLORADORA 79 Middle Neck Rd. 482-6945 Free Delivery In Great Neck Peter Cammisa Gerald Cammisa (516) 482-9860 BEST BAGELS INC.
