School Opens Room for Senior Citizen Use Something is happening in room 112. It's the Senior Citizen Drop In Center, Restaurant and Health Clinic, commonly known as the Senior Citizen room. It's coordinated by Florence Sandberg and Jean Johnson. Senior citizens meet Wednesday and Fridays between 10 and 3. There are no age or sex limits. And just what do they do? Well, they can have lunch for 70c or breakfast for 30c, play cards or bingo, knit, crochet, or work on crafts to be sold at one of their sales. A few men have broken the stereotype bonds and have learned to make rugs or other women only crafts. They've gone on excursions to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor, the Plastic House, Minnetonka and Stillwater. A Health Clinic is also available on Tuesdays, a nurse and a counselor's services are provided free of charge. A variety of materials are used by senior citizens to complete their projects. 28

Officer Remily Creates New Police Image Joo Remily stresses a point while talking to a discussion class about the law. Joe Remily, South High's liaison officer, has been serving South for six years since 1968. Before that he worked in and out of many schools. He still helps out at other schools occasionally. One of the important things about his job at South, according to Remily, is that he doesn't have to be involved with school discipline. During the summer Mr. Remily works as a plain-clothes man for the Juvenile Delinquency Department. He rides in an unmarked car. Remily said he likes being a plain-clothes man because it makes a more relaxed atmosphere between him and students. He likes both of his jobs because he said it's good to have a mixture. South students think that he's a good guy and that he helps people with their problems. He helps students solve family conflicts, aids students with drug problems and provides student with a different image of a policeman. Teacher Roy Hawkins said, Mr. Remily is the type of police officer that you don't have the police image of. He's the type of person you wouldn't want to lie to. Mr. Remily grew up in the South High neighborhood and went to De LaSalle High School. He said he likes working here because he likes working with kids and he believes that most students at South are good. Remily listens to students as they inquire about his job and his role at South High. 29 A common sight before and after classes is a group of students talking to Remily.
