And this year, South’s “tiger” is one of the most active yet.

South’s Student Council does more than have fun. Through the Honor Council it strives to bring about a trustworthy student body, and through the Student Forum it produces unique ideas for fund raising and service projects to better our school. A car is only as powerful as the tiger in its tank, and a school is only as strong as its “tiger”. South students — we’re lucky! We don’t have just any tiger in our tank — we have a SABRE! 87 Vice-president and president use their heads to solve school problems. • • • National Honor Society officers: clockwise, John Newell, President; Kathy Barnum, First VP; Carol Williams, Sec.; Susan Peck, Treas.; Mary Morris, Second VP; Mrs. Kincaid, advisor. “But, I have to get in!” Sorry, Charlie, but National Honor Society members must have leadership, character, willingness to serve, and scholarship. Scholarship — hear? And besides, the scholastic average for can¬ didates has been raised to a 2.5, composing the society of a more highly selective group. Members of the NHS have various re¬ sponsibilities to South. They must become tu¬ tors, typists, salesmen, and most of all, good examples to be followed. Projects include the sale of football pro¬ grams during home games, which, according to Mrs. Kincaid, sponsor of the Society, has exceeded all other sales of previous years. With the efficiency of the Student Directory Staff, students at South had the Student Directory made available to them before Christmas. Another valuable service ren¬ dered to the student body by the Society is tutoring of those who are behind in their work. Members of the NHS feel that this is the greatest service they perform, the shar¬ ing of knowledge with others. President John Newell announces new members.

That’s right-—South¬ ern Accent reporters are going everywhere possible in order to get all the news. The newspaper staff is under the guidance of Mr. Harold Smith, advisor, and Cathy Kaemmerlen, editor. The Southern Accent staff strives to report on all events of current interest to the students. 90 Art EditorDebbie Honeycutt Editor: Cathy Kaemmerlen The staff is allotted one period a day for work on the newspaper, but they often find it necessary to give a great deal of their “after school hours” cheerfully for such activities as the “pig in the poke” auction or the selling of spirit tags. And all this work is “all for ya’ll!” Staff gets down to business. Creativity in a nutshell. 91 WE TRY HARDER! This has become the motto for the 1966-67 Somecka staff as they have worked long 1 and hard hours to attempt to meet the deadlines.

Grab it! Every penny counts! Without this group of students, South’s annual would not be possible. It is the job of the Business Staff to secure ads from local businesses to finance the annual. This means many extra hours of their own spare time spent in traveling around Charlotte on the faint hope that someone will be kind and generous enough to buy a full page ad or even an inch to say, “Congratulations, Seniors”. Headed by manager Janice Tysinger, the Business Staff has been successful this year and has solicited sufficient funds from advertising. The financial aid the staff provided is appreciated by all. Business Manager Janice Tysinger 94 Read much ? Well - yes! Understand symbolism much ? Well, sometimes. One of the many objectives of the South Mecklenburg Literary Society is changing the sometimes to many times and promoting a lively interest in the creative art of reading. The Literary Society, formerly the Good Books Club, meets twice a month to discuss contemporary and influential books. A Gift of Prophecy, a bestseller by Ruth Montgomery, and Bill Sand’s book, My Shadow Ran Fast, were just a few of the books that were talked about. Members learn that reading is an active, rather than passive, process and that it serves as an instrument to broaden scope and understanding. The Society also operates and man¬ ages the paperback book rack which is open during lunch hours every Monday and Thursday. Under the guidance of Mrs. Livingston and Mrs. Hollingsworth, club members have made available the most current and varied literature to suit anyone’s preference in reading. Want good books? Randy has them! and Let Read The Literary Society — A Scholarly Group. 95 Key Club gets life size ornament. The All-American Boys of the Key Club have contributed much to South as well as to the community. The Christmas tree near the fountain, the Sabre license plates, and the South window stickers have left the mark of the Key Club on South.

The Society, under the guidance of Mrs. Ware, has had as its main activity this year, a banquet at the S W Cafeteria. Mrs. Neely, a former Spanish teacher at South, was the guest speaker.

Is it possible to make reciting proverbs and sing¬ ing corny songs fun? It must be, because it has been done, is being done, and will continue to be done as long as Les Provincals, South’s French Club, is in existence. The objective of the club is to promote a better understanding of the French people and their customs. This is achieved each month by plays (Goldilocks and the Three Bears), songs (Alouette), and refreshments-refresh¬ ments? Well, the rising French performers must keep up their strength. 101 Young Americans prepare for mass protest. Never!

The Young Americans form their own be¬ liefs and make up their own minds, yet real¬ ize the importance of impartiality.

Precision, musicianship, and resonance are equaled only by the band members’ enthusiasm and school spirit.

Directed by Joe Schneider, the South Men, a har¬ monious brotherhood, rival the Teen Tones in popularity at South. The orchestra is no exception to the music department’s suc¬ cess. With the skillful lead of Mr. McNeely, it is no wonder that the orchestra sounds superb!

Under the direction of Mrs. Jack- son and Mrs. Peek, the F.H.A. this year has promoted a growing appre¬ ciation for the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. The monthly pro¬ grams have included a tea for new members, programs on Christmas decorations, hobbies, and parliamen¬ tary procedure. The members have been kept busy this year with monthly projects which include: school beautification, a Christmas party at Providence Nursing, letters to servicemen, and a Father-Daughter Date Night. The girls promoted school spirit by sell¬ ing white spirit cakes. 1 16 F.H.A. officers The Future Teachers of America tries to explain the many monotonous duties of a teacher as well as the re¬ wards.

Kurt Schneider soon found himself among student allies who, al¬ though very glad to see him, were a bit dis¬ appointed to find that he didn’t know how to yodel and never had made cheese in his life. It wasn’t long before Kurt became a full-fledged Sabre — he could be seen at nearly all the foot¬ ball games, yelling with the rest of us and ring¬ ing his genuine smuggled-in Swiss cowbell. It does break, doesn’t it? Who said that brothers or sisters couldn’t get along? John Anderson is Kurt’s brother. Carolyn Friday is Gerd’s sister. Imagine yourself stepping off a plane wearing a fashionable long-sleeved fall suit, only to be greeted by 97° weather. This was no day-dream for Gerd Olberg, South’s Nor¬ wegian exchange student. Three months of correspondence and eager anticipation were now coupled with excitement . . . and a few tears. Her first day on South’s campus was spent in the frantic confusion of finding classes. But for Gerd, familiarity came with exper¬ ience, and after a few months here, Gerd be¬ came a true Sabre. Someone keeps mixing up the library cards. 126 Chile? Who wants to go to Chile? Carol Williams did — this summer! Loaded down with trinkets to offer the natives, Carol succeeded in winning her way into a free lesson in how not to ski. Feeling that her trip should be highly cultural and educational, she selected as souvenirs, Span¬ ish rock’n roll records and a clay tea set (guarantee! not to melt in the sun). Asked how she liked the trip, Carol commented, “It’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.” Wearing the pancho she got in Chile is a necessary part of Carol’s reports. This year the CESP, un¬ der the expert guidance of Miss Morrow, faculty advisor, and Susan Peck, president, has raised $500 to aid one or more of South’s rising Seniors in a summer abroad. This four year old program, though not very well known, is gaining strength and promises to be one of South’s most worthwhile organizations. CESP members Wooden figures serve as excellent souvenirs of Germany for Kathy. What’s it like to be a captive of the East German police? Ask Kathy Barnum, for last summer she found herself in this predica¬ ment when she visited Germany as an ex¬ change student. Kathy lived in Bremin, and she was able to see some major European cities. She learned a great deal about Ger¬ man people and their customs and wants to return at her first opportunity. I 27 MISISISliBU Hr ' ' T Cynthia Hatley, Ellen Wallen, and Don Stroud — real humans. South was represented by Ellen Wallen, Don Stroud, and Cynthia Hatley at Wild Acres this past summer. The Civitan Youth Conference on Human Relations was held at Little Switzerland, North Carolina, with Sen¬ iors from across the state as participants. The conference, a series of group discussions and social activities, centered around the subject of human relations in today’s world. The students were chosen by the Civitan Club after being suggested by the principal. The Class of 1967 proudly presents Miss Susan Furches as the girl who best exempli¬ fies its ideals of character. Susan was spon¬ sored by the Colonel Adam Alexander chap¬ ter of the DAR. She was nominated by the Senior Class and selected by faculty members in view of her leadership, service, depend¬ ability, patriotism, and citizenship qualities. Susan represented South at a luncheon in the fall, and she was a guest at the George Washington luncheon in February. Susan is proud of the Good Citizens Award which now bears her name. 128 Patti Stewart, Barbara Vehorn, and Susan Furches are government-minded. South students, John Newell, Jim Creech, and George Ealy, have described Boys’ State as a unique experience. Delegates to Boys’ State im¬ mersed themselves in a week’s study of North Carolina’s governmental system. The curriculum consisted of lectures by state political figures and student participation in running a mock state legislature. Our three delegates found Boys’ State to be an experience of measureless value. Would you believe that girls are taking over the government? Well, the girls at Tar Heel Girls State ran a mock government for an entire week last summer. Representatives were Barbara Ve¬ horn, Patti Stewart, and Susan Furches. Barbara was chosen city manager, while Susan preferred to run for Secretary of State. Patti was elected Vice-chairman of the Nationalist Party. All the girls made many lasting friendships while they learned more about the workings of state govern¬ ment. John shows George and Jim the proper speech making gestures. Last summer, five South stu¬ dents found their way to the Salem College campus at Win¬ ston-Salem where they began a seven-week study in special fields for which they had been nomi¬ nated and accepted. The Gover¬ nor’s School of North Carolina, a summer program which is at¬ tended by approximately 400 gifted students each year, proved to be a rewarding experience for all involved. Probably most im- portant of all the activities was the experience of living and work¬ ing almost independently for seven weeks with people of equal age and intelligence. Gifted students have time out for fun — Mary Morris, Susan h urches, I att Parker, Cheri Underwood, and Dianne Carriker. wberts Beauty Runners- Up SOPHOMORE CLASS — MISS DIANA DAVIS JUNIOR CLASS — MISS CYNTHIA WILLIAMS SENIOR CLASS — MISS MILDRED KINNEY Chaos .... then the Queen Autumn Leaves ” Chosen I hr Theme How does Homecoming mean ?

As Carrousel Princess, Glenda also attended the Carrousel Ball at the Coliseum over the Thanksgiving holidays. 136 Each year the Somecka staff selects one girl — the ideal girl of South — to be Miss Somecka. Our choice this year is Miss Susan Peck. Susan is a girl whose presence makes a gloomy day bright. At times the staff has been disgusted and ready to quit when Susan would walk in and say, “Don’t give up! What can I do to help? We’ll get it done, and smile! You’re pret¬ tier when you smile!” Susan’s enthusiasm to help is by no means confined to work on the Somecka. She serves South and her friends every chance she gets.

Sopho¬ more Rick Elkins led the charge, with Juniors Tommy Mole, Maurice Keith, Richie Tatum, and Stewart Fisher stumbling not too far behind. Elkins received the “Most Valuable Cross Country Runner Award” at the fall athletics awards banquet. After learning the hard way, the harriers may be the team to watch next fall. 149 Led by captains Barry Collins and Greg Hen¬ kel, the wrestling team salvaged a successful 4-4-1 season. Stocked with an ample supply of sophomores and juniors, Coach Patten faced the problems of inexperience. However, the young grapplers aged quickly and finished strong, winning three and tying one of the last four matches. Henkel swept through the regular sea¬ son undefeated but lost his only match in his quest for the state. These wrestlers must be a close-knit group, since they’re always pinning each other.

The Sabres caught fire twice this season winning back to back games over East and Olympic, and later over Harding and Hunter Huss before Second Ward ex¬ tinguished them in the play offs. Senior guard and co-captain, Mike Streje, managed to escape injury and contributed points with his free style home brand shooting. Kirby Jones (co-captain) and Tom Wicker, both Juniors, were the bright spots of the Super Sabre Fantom Five. John Haseldon and Andy Ramey added rebound height. Ramey, receiving experience this season, could develop into a key player next sea¬ son. Top subs were Richard Simmons and Mike Vaden who, when given the chance, turned in impressive performances.

Gurgling and sputtering, the team splashed to victory led by capable breast¬ stroke champion, John Dentler. Swimming promises to be one of the most worthwhile competitive sports South has to offer. Perhaps next year more students will throw off their water wings and become a part of this team. Quantity can’t replace quality, but there might be more quality of the variety these boys demonstrate if there were more quantity with which to work.

Returning from last year’s team are lettermen Kirby Jones, Danny Robinson, and George Ealy. The Meck¬ lenburg conference is among the toughest in the state.

Terry Bot¬ tom, best low hurdler in the school’s history, seemed to be the best all around runner on the team. Gilliam and Kerhoulas, two of the high jumpers, cleared six feet in preseason practice.

Coach Boger charged confidently into the season and was not disappointed. Led by Jim Gernon and Lynn McElroy on the mound, the Sabres outslugged many of their opponents. Glenn Mills and Ed Schwietzer backed up the pitching staff in the infield with Mike Strejc and Tommy Van Dyke starring in the outfield. Baseball, though not the most popular sport at South, is the hottest. 162 Senior Jim Gernon Jim Smith Ed Schweitzer 163 o Iters Despite losing many key players from last year’s championship golf team, the boys are still expecting a winning season thanks to the “iron” coaching of Charles Gerringer.

Senior links whiz Jon Trumble. 164 The Jayvee gridders finished strong but still posted a disappointing 3-5-1 record. The breakaway running of David Williams and the steady play call¬ ing of quarterback Wes Hege keyed late season vic¬ tories over Independence, Hunter Huss, and East. Reid Whisnant, Artie Knighten, and Robert Hoppe led the line play. With continued improvement, these boys could adequately fill the gaps in the var¬ sity team left by graduation. Kerhoulas pulls in a long one. JV Gridders — The Champs of Tomorrow? 165 Like the varsity, the JV basketball team was racked by one injury after another, and suffered tlmough a 9-10 season. Frank Falls and Don Arbuckle turned in fine performances underneath, while Greg Ledford and Wes Hege played steady ball from the guard po¬ sitions. Highlights of the season were vic¬ tories over Myers Park and West Charlotte.

We therefore point with pride to Susan Peck and John Newell as 1967’s examples of the best in integrity, leadership, scholarship and character that South Mecklenburg High School can produce. 179 For those in the Class of 1967, Graduation becomes an individual Meaning. A kaleidoscope of emotions, Each contradicting the other— A stirring impatience to tangle with the future, An extreme reluctance to let the secure present pass, The laughter of relief, The tears of sadness; The confidence of achievement, The regret of knowledge passed by; The eagerness to meet new people, The realization of friendships that were never cultivated. One phase of life is finished, Another phase begins. .. These high school years will be only a memory tossed on the wind, a faded picture of something that happened a long time ago, a blur of faces of friends whose names are forgotten But how one has thought, how one has worked, how one has aspired, how one has learned— now, and in the years to will shape and determine a most important thing— How an individual means. 181 GRADUATES FREQUENTLY TURN INTO TELEPHONE PEOPLE BEST WISHES FROM T HE SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH CO.
