1974-1975 A Year in Review All right, class, let’s settle down. Now today we are going to study the Five Important Dates in South Decatur’s history.

I’m sure I don’t have to remind you this was the day the hamburgers in the school cafeteria actually con- tained hamburger! 2. February 18, 1975. Who can forget the time the entire grammar review class crowded into the closet of their school room? Who can forget the look on the face of the teacher when the remaining students walked out of the closet quietly fifteen minutes after the rest of the class had already been discovered and taken their seats? 3. March 13, 1975. This was the day an unsuspecting new- comer waited patiently in the lunch line for fifteen minutes while the rest of the school crowded in front of him. How long would it take for him to catch on to South’s customs? 4. March 14,1975. This was the day the newcomer caught on to South’s customs. Unfortunately, this was the day he also got caught. 5. February 19, 1975. This was the day the yearbook staff made their final deadline. The funeral was held the following day. On October 4, 1974, South Decatur played North Decatur in a varsity foot- ball game. South won, 31 to 8. 20 Year In Review
