STUDENT LEADERS IN ACTION This year ' s Student Council has been BUSY-BUSY-BUSY. They started out the year with a flashlight pep rally at the City Hall Plaza where the Homecoming Queens were announced. The Homecoming festivities were then continued on game day when Student Council sponsored the traditional Mobile Parade through the down town area, concluding at the stadium just prior to the game. After Homecoming was over, the Council had a number of dances that went very well. In the second week of December, the Candy Cane Sale began which was followed by Santa ' s big entrance on the final day of school before Christmas vacation. The carnation sale was a great success and it gave the Council all the enthusiasm that they needed to host the Winter WOL Student Council Conference which was held here at South on March 4, 1981. Along with all these special events, the Student Council continued to deal with various school problems and the officers, as student spokesmen, met throughout the year with Mr. Wright and as members of the Principal ' s Council. 1.

WE OFFER THE RIGHT TO READ jMTI Mt JOMl The library club boasted 43 student members who actively participated in the operation of the library. These library aides learned many aspects of library service such as how to circulate books, how to keep the collection in order, how to assist with reference, how to process periodicals, and how to operate the audio-visual equipment. They also learned how to raise money and how to spend it wisely. This year the club was able to present more than $1 000 worth of equipment to the school a white oak contemporary paperback rack, two Singer Instaload filmstrip and tape machines, two hand crafted white oak check out counters for the new library, and a small filmstrip projector. The 1980- 81 year was highlighted by several memorable events including the Rededication in October when thousands of citizens streamed through the library, the annual Christmas breakfast for the faculty and staff, the spring Yearbook Festival which brought to life the early years of our school, and an old fashioned ice cream social and new book show. These projects brought the club members together in a spirit of friendship and in a spirit of appreciation for our library, our school, and its heritage. 1980-1981 Officers of the SHS Library Club . . .
