Chris Bancroft ' s The Carpet Train 2643 E. Main Street 513-324-5538 What ore the Junior and Senior Boosters is o question that is often ask- ed by people outside of South High School. But anyone who has spent any rime at South knows that these are two groups made up of selected students who fake on the responsibility of keep- ing school spirit alive throughout the year. Although this group constantly shows its colors (gold and blue, of course,) and sings the Fight Song anytime, anyplace the spirit moves them, they do many more things. For the North-South basketball game fhey sold spirit strips and put together a spirit chain which has won the competition year aftet year. They also worked together to create a float for the Homecoming Parade and they held their annual Junior-Senior Booster basketball game for the student body just before Christmas break. The Senior Boosters, under the direction of Mrs. Bet- ty Deem, sold singing Valentines for Valentine ' s Day, and they sponsored the Macho Man Contest for the student body before Spring Vacation. The Junior Boosters had a change in advisors midyear when Mrs. Marsha Jordan left South and Mrs. Connie Kearns took her place. Due to rhe change in leadership, they were not quire as acrive as they have been in years past bur rhey did finish rhe year wirh a big pizza parry. Everyone knows rhar rhese two groups are essenrial ro rhe school and rhe stu- denr body appreciates rhe fact rhar rhey keep the spirit flowing rhroughour the school year.

HGILITV DF THE WDmEN The success of a gymnastic squad is always thought to be strengthened by the experience of its members. However, this is not always the case. The 1982-83 Girls ' Gymnastic squad was made up of entirely freshman and sophomores — the youngest classes of South High. The team did the job of a more experienced squad, and even beat our yearly rivals, the North Pan- thers. Although in mid-season Traci Mit- chell dislocated her elbow while warm- ing up for a floor exercise, this put somewhat of a damper on the squad, they regrouped and pulled through this accident and the rest of their mishaps with dedication and self discipline. The girls ' record was 4-3 for the year plus at- tending the W.O.L and District meets. Mory Reise made it to the finals in the District meet performing on the beam. Other honors include the two most im- By: Parri Payne proved members, Kelli Kaeser and Jill Moore, the most points awarded, Mary Reise, and the most places, Traci Mit- chell. Coach Ann Reno stated that she feels there ore no star members of o gymnastic squad. The squad works together and when the points start ad- ding up, the team could win or lose a meet by one tenth of a point. Everyone contributes. basart P.O.
