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

Wild, Wayout, And Warm. Blue jeans, dresses, overalls, and clothes your parents used to wear, are but a few of the outfits worn by South’s students. On Fifties Day the garb of that era transformed our students back 20 years. The traditional Senior-Dress-Down-Day found the Seniors wearing everything inside out. Boot day, clash day, button day, hat day, and maroon and white day were more of our special dress days. Farmers’ Day is the most enthusiastically follow- ed day of all. Everyone proudly dresses as farmers and in many instances they wear the actual clothes they wear at home in the barn. We are a rural com- munity and should a visitor drop in on Farmers’ Day and even so much as give a hint of scorn at our farmer’s garb, he had better be able to run mighty fast because, didn’t you know, “The Farmers are Great”?
