WILDCATS STAND TALL Sometimes it seems that the main focus in our school is athletics and activities, but at the Awards Day Assembly it became evident that academics is alive and well at South High School. It took almost three hours to honor the outstanding students in the various departments and academic achievements this year. Although the student body began to wiggle on the bleachers of the gym as the program went on and on, everyone was proud of friends and classmates who were honored in this special program. There were students who had not missed a day of school in four years, students who had contributed thousands of hours in volunteer work to the school, students who excelled in individual classes, students who took part in various state testing programs. It was time for the Wildcats to stand tall and be proud of their accomplishments. AWARDS DAY 101

It was June 5, 1986; exams were over, graduation gowns were pressed and waiting; and the Class of ' 86 gathered one last time to celebrate the completion of their high school careers. The new Holidome was the setting, and seniors and faculty alike decked out in their best outfits to attend Class Night. It was an evening designed to fill a memory book as classmates exchanged pic- tures, memories and good times. A buffet banquet, complete with barbeque spare ribs, was a sure hit, and the meal was followed by a program that consisted of both academic and fun awards. After the formalities, the tables were pushed back and the seniors let down their hair for a dance that rocked the night away. WE ROCKED THE NIGHT AWAY 102
