luemafziei As we approach our last days at South, we look back through our years here: our many laughs, our tears, our embarrassments, and the happiness we found. They will soon be gone . . . but certainly not forgotten. We'1l never forget our first day at South. How could we! Smeared with lipstick and filled with excitement, we caught our first glimpse of what are now our familiar corridors, of our teachers, and of our many friends. Our first month was pure misery. We were lost in the halls, lost in all the strange people, and even worse, lost with all that homework. Wow! What a thrill it was when we found a grade school buddy in one of our classes. But we hung on and as the days Went by we felt more and more at home. We made friends quickly and really felt good at our first pep assembly. Through our freshman year we enjoyed one of the most glorious years in Akron athletic history as we walked off with city championships in foot- ball, basketball, track, and swimming. That was the same year we became district and regional champs and journeyed to Columbus, where we won second place in the State Basketball Tourna- ment. Boy, did we brag! We laughed at every school in Akron and really created a riot at our victorious pep assemblies. We enjoyed our pep meetings more in 9A be- cause we placed three cheerleaders on the re- serves. They were Iean Wheatley, Betty McClure, and Donna Archer. We were really honored that year by having none other than ex-heavyweight lack Dempsey as a featured guest in an assembly. Our sophomore year started off well for us, as We won the football championship from a highly- rated Garfield squad, but as the year progressed We tasted our first championship loss to North in what was quite a thrilling basketball season. One of the highlights of the year was South's fortieth anniversary, which we helped to make a big success. We also were proud when we were honored with the presence of the Four Aces in assembly. We talked of that assembly for months afterwards. We were proud of our class in scholar- ship as we had Diane Walter, Bernice lesser, Sally Calhoun, Clifton Bye, and Shirley Dobbs in the Iunior Honor Society. As juniors we received all the privileges of upperclassmen. That was the year we put on our own assembly and all eyes fell from their sockets when Lois Steinbeck did her immortal hula dance. Though we progressed considerably in the elev- enth grade, we also met with defeat as we lost the football championship to a rugged Garfield squad ftying the record for appearances in suc- cessionl and offered little competition to a great North cage machine. That was the same year Iohn Williams and Tony Roppolo began to make sport headlines. We knew who were the scholars also. as the Iunior Honor Roll was usually headed by Delores Nelson, Clifton Bye, and Shirley Dobbs. The class jokers were also well known. Heading the list were Bill Lou Charley ThOInCIS and Iim Gleespen. Ry Qeoage aaancd Our last big thrill in the junior year and the one that will be remembered longest was the ordering of the class rings. We were beginning to realize our high school days were nearly gone! Seniors! We were finally here. The big year was under way and We started off with defeat. East swallowed us 25-19 in what was now practically our annual appearance at the Turkey Day game, as we broke all previous records by extending our appearance to five straight. Not all was lost, as we placed john Williams and Tony Poppolo on the all-city squad. A week later Iohn made the rugged all-district team. Basketball was worse, as undefeated Garfield dumped everybody. Again we were honored. This time we placed Bob Carson and Bill Thomas on the all-city team. We elected officers that year also. They Were: President, john Williams, veep, Nick Vukick, sec- retary, Iudy Cork, treasurers, Delores Abraham and Byron Hollinger. The newly-elected editor of our school paper was Shirley Dobbs. The drama class put on a Christmas play, the lead going to Iack Stevens, who portrayed King Herod. Lou Thomas remained the class clown. We began ordering our many necessities in preparation to graduate: caps and gowns, pic- tures, cards, announcements, etc. Our committees were set up and everything was under control. Our class play was exceptionally good with the leads Going to Anna Rainey and Ray Hoffman. Our football Queen was Donna Archer, crowner Sheila Markwood, crown-bearer Betty McClure, attendant Delores Abraham. Dennis Pinczes was the only senior boy to break a school record as he did an amazing lUl push-ups. The turnout for the senior tea, with parents, was one of our biggest We have ever had. The llA-l2B party was also a big success. It is surely something we Will never forget. Our May dance was exceptionally good as Donna Archer reigned again as Oueen. The Manhood Cup was given to Byron Hollinger and Iudy Cork received the Womanhood Cup. With a short review our school days have been covered. Yes, our high school days are nearly over. We have looked back through our joys, our cheers, our lauahs and our tears. Now, as we walk through the halls we laugh at the undergraduates, and tease them because we are leaving. Boy! If they could only see under our facial ex- pressions. Down deep, where we choke back each little tear as it tries to make its escape. Down deeper, where the heart skips a beat at the thought of leaving, and still deeper where we would give anything to go through it again. But our ration- alizing will soon be over and each tear its escape shall make, for soon it will all be over and the outside world shall claim us all. To some of us it will bring success, to others failure, but all of us all put away in a corner of our hearts remem- brance for the years we were all alike . . . our four glorious years at South High.
