A FINAL GLIMPSE AT ' 86 A final glimpse at 1986 shows that the school year was more than just the three A ' s — academics, athletics, and activities. It was students who were willing to go that extra mile to make things happen. The student who ate lunch on the floor to attend a meeting during the lunch hour; the student who dressed up and put on her best manners to attend a special reception; and the student who got up early in the morning to play at a preschool pep rally on the front lawn . . . these are the students that made 1986 a success. It was the student who marched and practiced after school each afternoon to improve his team or activity and the student who boxed fruit and helped clean rooms to improve his activity . . . these are the students who deserve an extra pat on the back. It was the student who made that extra effort in his class room that made South a school to be proud of. It was all these students working together that helped South strive for and achieve excellence. CLOSING 239

Inspector Cat Solves Mystery THE CASE IS CLOSED ON ' 86 The school year began with a new prin- cipal, Mr. Ruben Henderson III, and a missing graduation site. Although one was not dependent on the other, both filled the seniors with wonder. It did not take long to realize that Mr. Henderson was capable of becoming the Top Cat at South but it did take a little longer to establish a site for graduation. Although in reality the Class of 1986 voted on the location of their graduation, in the mind ' s of the Wildcat staff, it was a mystery that could have been solved only by the in- famous Inspector Cat. With his close scrutiny and careful deductions, 86, The Case of the Missing Graduation Site, was solved and the year was completed. 240
