Congratulations Seniors ' From Your Sister School This was o very spirited year for rhe Wildcats and our motto was Stress rhe Positive. Nor only did we stress rhe positive at South High, we also mastered the idea along with our high hopes of cheering our football team all the way to W.O.L. title. Well our ream didn ' t quite win the W.O.L. bur we kepr our heads high and cheered our football team on anyway. Our Pep rallies were very posirive as we had spirit chains, routines, spirit competitions, and rap sessions by members of the football team. Along with many other exciting events, we were even given rhe By: Kim Sanford pleasure of seeing rhe ever-so-popular Video character Pac Man in a routine done by the cheerleaders. The Pac Man cheerleaders chomped us right our of our seats, and filled the gym wirh roars of approval for t heir ream. The cheerleaders were an enthusiastic and exciting group, and unlike many cheerleading squads, they not only con- cenrrared on rhe football ream, but also they cheered on the golf and cross country reams by decorating their lockers, along wirh the football team ' s to show rhar the Wildcat student body supports oil teams. Mrs. Clark, a former cheerleader and srudenr of Sourh High, rook over the job of cheerleading ad- visor rhis year and she has made many changes that polished our Varsity squad. Cheerleaders say somerimes her rules seemed a lirrle stria and unfair, bur they knew it was only for the besr in- terest of the squad and the Representa- tion of South High. All in all, Mrs. Clark had been a very helpful undersranding advisor, and she. along wirh rhe varsity girls made rhe SH5 Varsity Cheerleaders a group rhar is tops in the W.O.L.

CRRCH! CRRCH! CRRCH! CRRCH! By: Lori Clark Crack! Crack! Crack! Have you guessed it yer? Well, just in case you haven ' t, ir ' s rhe SHS Marching Band as it starts the Friday night show led by Brian Callahan, the drum major. Brian has held this position for two years and has established a fine record of twirling his baton. Marlita Fischer, rhe band ' s flame-throwing majorette, is known for filling the fans with amazement as she filled the sky with fire from her baron at the North-South game. While the band entertained each Friday night with its music, marching, and fine shows, it was not unusual to highlight such players as Lisa Yarbrough as she dazzled us with Star and took us Somewhere Down the Road. Todd Baldridge and Jeff Fain, with their solos, led us into Tomorrow from the broadway hit Annie. David Whited, the president of the band, stated, The band had lots of spirit this year, and the freshmen were a welcomed addition to our group. Of course, one of rhe highlights of the year was band camp . . . five days in August filled, this year, with freezing weather in the early mornings and hot summer sun in the aftetnoon. It was a time filled with the constant beat of stereos, guitars. and even Van Halen and AC DC ropes all playing in unison and a rime spent living on munchies brought from home instead of eating camp food, but it was a good time for companionship and building a strong working band. Jeff Tussey states, It was five days that I wouldn ' t give up for oil rhe gold you could give me, and that is really saying something when you remember rhe shrill sounds of the Notional Anthem, played Jimi Hendrix-style by guitarist Steve Truman through a giant amplifier and used as an alarm clock to start each day.
