This is Our Fair Lady. 6 ' y, Students react to one of Mr. Bunch’s jokes. Biology II students experiment to find new answers to the mystery of life. New student lounge is a place for socializing. 7 Students trot eagerly to class. Physical Education plays an important part of the school curriculum. It is we, the students, that are the life of South. Through the months her halls have echoed with the sounds of our voices and felt the constant impact of our thoughts. 10 Sophomores contemplate the probability of becoming English scholars. Miss Nichols discusses French. Miss Mecklenburg advises seniors on their after-high- school-years. This is a new South, an institution grown alive from the spirit of the students who cherish her. When we leave, it will be to face a challenge that has become a tradition — a challenge to live with the integrity that is the foundation of South Mecklen- burg High School. 1 1 “There’s always something professional about doing a thing superatively well. 2 dedication Mrs. Chappell finishes up after another busy day. To do many things superlatively well is rare ; yet, we have at South a person who, because of her dedication, is characterized in this way. She is known to those who have been taught by her as a patient teacher who has the gift of helping people recognize their strengths and develop them. She is known as an enthusiastic leader to those whose extra-curricular activities she directs. Her demeanor — evenness of temper, kindness, brisk efficiency — reflects a soul worthy of our respect and imitation. With sincere gratitude and great affection, we seniors proudly dedicate the 1966 SOME- CKA TO OUR FAIR LADY, Mrs. Ora Nell Chappell. Mrs. Chappell and Mike Stirling plan Student Council activities. 13 r 2 Curriculum “ Are you sure sue wi ll retain a I you’ve hammered into her?” Mr. Edmisten addresses the students. Mr. Owens completes a daily bus check Jltr. C cfmis ten An A Jtfr. Owens OuiAe c5 out As Activities An administrator’s influence is infinite. In his power he has the opportunity to mold the lives of hundreds, even thousands, of students. He is looked up to, and many times his opinions, whether right or wrong, are accepted by the students under him as their own opinions. Often, his advice is accepted without question. Mr. Edmisten, along with the help of Mr. Owens, shoulders the tremendous responsi- bility of administering the affairs of a complex school with a large student body. The administration of South Mecklenburg serves in every capacity to provide a pleasant atmosphere for learning, working, and playing. Mr. Edmisten and Mr. Owens are a most vital part of South’s organization. 16 Secretaries attend to the endless details of school administration. Mrs. Kathryn L. Cooper Guidance Secretary Betty E.

President Student Council sponsors Powder Puff football game. Lee Largen, Secretary Celia Fuller, Treasurer 102 jSeadersJitp Student ( Council Student Council is a symbol of demo- cracy in our school. All students have an opportunity to participate in their govern- ment personally or through elected re- presentatives. This system is not mere- ly a figurehead; it is an effective force in school affairs, and it purports ideals of the American way. Since the Student Council is a service organization, its members work to im- prove the school and to meet the needs of the students. It has no administrative duties whatsoever, but it is a liaison be- tween the students and the administra- tion. All of its work is directed toward making South the ideal school. The Council is kept busy sponsoring such popular activities as Homecoming, The Christmas Dance, and the Valentine Dance as well as such projects as the March of Dimes, the Bar-B-Que, and supervision of daily devotions. Honor Council: South Mecklenburg Inquisition Student Council Committee Chairmen Student Council 103 South Students dls S jest Claireece Gardner, Editor Again under the watchful eye of their advisor, Mrs, Edythe Price, the Southern Accent staff worked to make this year’s paper better than ever. Staff members are constantly searching for in- teresting material to fill the pages of the paper. As each issue nears completion, tired editors go through the ordeal of copyreading, proofreading, and pasting up. 104 yicc ai m Vlcce ii Coer In the end, however, every South student looked forward to receiving his monthly copy of the Southern Accent. All in all, the ’65-’66 Accent offered more news and interesting articles than ever before. Sports Staff: Terry McSwain, Terry Farkas, Earl Glover, Steve Lentz.

Few people realize the many problems which arise each year, nor do they realize the hard work required to display the year’s achievements of South’s students. Yet, all this cannot diminish the glow of pride that each member of the staff experiences when the finished pro- duct arrives from the printer. Uner the guidance of Mrs. Ayers and the leadership of Beverly Shaw, editor, the individual staffs are co- ordinated. This year something new has been added to the an- nual — the Summer Supplement. This section will in- clude all late spring activities and will becom a perman- ent part of one’s annual.

Membership is open to sophomore, junior, and senior boys who are out- stanging in character, leadership, and scholarship. The club’s service projects this year were extend- ed to the community at large as the boys cleaned the grounds around the Wessel Nursing Home and helped to send out nearly 10,000 letters for the N. C. Tuberculosis Center. The Key Club sold “Sabre” license plates to raise money for charit- able organizations and also co-sponsored, with the P. T. A., a “Book Find” to add books to the South library. We are grateful to this service or- ganization for the many ways in which it has helped to better our school and our community.

In order to achieve and retain these pur- poses, the National Honor Society has spon- sored several projects, such as a tutoring service, a school directory completed by the members, and football programs sold at home games. The National Honor Society has had two induction ceremonies, one in the fall and another in the spring.
