52 5TUDENT LEADERS by Croig Elliott Under the direction of Assistant Principal Richard Mills and Mr. James Stewart, this year ' s Student Council has been a group on the go with many new ideas to work for the betterment of South. Begin- ning with Freshman Orientation, Student Council took its rightful place as school leaders by aiding the Freshmen and their parents to tour the building after Mike Dellapino, 5C President, spoke to the group about the opportunities of student involvement. At Homecoming this group organized the parade and the Homecoming Dance as well as sponsored a Spirit Week which features a Western Day, a New Wove Day, and of course, a Blue and Gold Day. In the early spring. Student Council sponsored its second annual Style Show to raise funds for school pro- jects, and the members not only planned the function, but many of the members participated as models. Student Council also took over the planning and decorating for Prom. Along with these many activities, the Student Council members met regularly and reviewed and updated the organization ' s constitution. The 1982-83 5tudent Council has had a year of success brought about by the hard work and determination of its members. 1. Officer Rhonda Murphy watches as members sign in to the meering. 2.

54 TDDHV ' B CLH55 LERDER5 by Vanessa Upshaw What has eight legs; a hassled expression; pizzas, candy, and pennant list in its hand; and a con- tinuous cry for spirit? . . . The four officers for each of the individual classes at 5HS. These sixteen in- dividuals along with class advisors were chosen in the fall and for the first time at South freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors began to work toward class spirit early in the year. Few people realize the experience that is needed and the major decisions that must be made when a stu- dent takes on the responsibilities of a class officer. The four officers are unique in that they must give dedication, determination, leader- ship, and devotion to a class of peers who really do not want to be led, and life is not always easy. The first responsibility of these class officers is getting the class to think as a group and plan as a unit, and there ore as many different ideas as there are people involved. Out of this chaos they must come up with ideas that are acceptable to the majority and at least reasonable to the few. In the midst of this job, the officers must also instill class spirit and booster school spirit as friendly rivalry develops among the classes and culminates with Spirit Day which was won this year by the Junior Class. It is an exciting job for those willing to do the work and give their time to their school. 1. The Junior Class officers included: Dorryl Dego, President; Dovid Steen, Vice Presi- dent, Stephen Saba, Treasurer; and Kevin Reynolds, Secrerary. 2. Jeff Jones held the number one office as President of the Seniot Class. 3. Treasurer Robin Wellington and Vice-Ptesldent Sam Cloyborne rake a moment to pose fot Yeotbook. 4.
