Students Choose Teachers, Classes at Tally An overall view of the gym where registration was held on tally day tends to look like mass confusion. Each department had its own registration table. Teachers were present to sign up students. BELOW: Senior fill out one of the many forms involved with tally day. RIGHT: George Kip-erts, Bill Gossman and Greg Wilkie register for an English class. For the first time at South High students were able to register for their own classes. Picking the teachers and elective classes, fitting them into a six period schedule was quite a job compared to previous years when the computer did most of the programming. Seniors tallied first followed by juniors and sophomores. Procedure was not changed for each trimester's registration. Students and teachers had different opinions on the system with typical comments: Too early in the morning , OK, but we had to wait too long, unfair, and badly organized.

LEFT: Team members warm up before a meet at Lake Nokomis. BELOW: Richard Garland and Earl Smith, the two top runners, get psyched up for a cold meet. Cross Country Run Demands Tough Attitude Distance running takes all out effort to be able to sprint 3 miles at almost top speed. Cross country running takes about as much mental effort as physical stamina. Training started in June and lasted all summer. It paid off when South won the junior varsity city meet and beat Southwest, who were rated high. At the city meet, 3 out of South's 7 starting runners were out with injuries and South finished 7th. The JV team is looking forward to next season with Bill Fintel and Earl Smith as captains. Captain Rich Melander did the organizing for the team during practice this summer. 11
