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 most of you have already memorized these dates for other classes, so this should simply be review for you. 1. January 23. 1975. 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

Open Sesame Upon entering the hallways of South Decatur you are met with seemingly average lockers. A closer look reveals that the lockers at South contain many challenges and obstacles. From the seventh graders trying to open their lockers to the prestige of having your locker in “Senior Hall,” every locker adopts the characteristics of its occupant, or in some cases oc- cupants. With the aid of tape, lockers are transformed into bulletin boards, achievement records, and words of encouragement to our athletes. Some lockers are jammed ooen enabling anvone to open them while some, even with the encouragement of using combinations, never want to open. The latter promptly receive a swift kick and open just as promptly. At the end of the day two girls wander through Sophomore hall. This hall received the FHA dirty locker hall award. P t Kenny Hooten looks at his clean locker with disgust. Now that it's clean he can't find anything. Mary Anne Phillips ponders the idea of cleaning out her locker so she can find the book she's searching for. 22 Lockers
