Dressing in fifties clothes has become a traditional spirit day for students at South. Rumaging through parents’ closets, students appear vividly dressed out of the pages of the past. Bobby soxs, long skirts, pony tails, white T-shirts, and greased-back hair become student apparel for the day. Fifties Day provides a spirit day for our enthusiasm and in some instances could even be said to help bridge the generation gap as students portray the fashions of their parents in the 50’s. Whether it be fad or tradition it will always recall pleasant memories of our days at South. Right: Fifties Day finds Brian Hitched in white T-shirt and all greased back. 10

South Decatur Sweepstakes The Great South Decatur Sweepstakes Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. In just a few minutes we will once again see who will win the South Decatur Sweepstakes. As you know, the race is held every schoolday at lunchtime to see which student can run the fastest from his classroom to the cafeteria. It may sound easy, but it takes skill and courage to compete in this vigorous test, as you will soon see. And they’re off! Coming out of the starting gate, it’s number 75” in the lead. Leaping over a slow- moving teacher, he brilliantly gives number 76” a judo chop to put him out of the race. Too bad, “76”! Pausing only to trip number 78, he adds to his lead by pole vaulting over all he meets. Coming down the back stretch with only 50 yards to go, it looks like he may be our winner today. But wait! It’s not over yet! Unknown to our leader, Mr. Duncan is just around the corner. Com- ing to a screeching halt, he innocently walks by him. What a move! Now that the danger is past, he quickly picks up speed. He seems certain to win. Oh, no! He forgot about the seventh-graders coming back from lunch! As the attendants carry his battered body away, we see that number “77” has taken over the lead. She did it! Miss 77 is the winner of todays race, with a time of 3 seconds. Not a record by any means, but it’s not bad. Winner of todays race receives her choice of a visit to the office or a free school lunch. Tune in tomorrow for another exciting dash to lunch. Should I or shouldn't I? asks Teresa Hancock. Aw, come on, Shawna Walters, it's not It looks like lunchtime is Julie Baugh’s THAT bad! favorite time. 12 Eating
