in is Due to all of these activities, the morning of Tuesday the 8th did not come as the usual shock to many of us. The first day back to school brought comments such as All my friends have the other lunch, So much for Senior Hall. . and You can tell a freshman a mile awayg they all reek of brand new preppy clothes. But there were also reunions of friends, comparisons of tans, and many people doing whatever they pleased because We're Seniors, we can do whatever we want!

On the surface, those names don't seem really complimentary. If someone were to look where these names came from, they'd see that they aren't as bad as they sound. Our excessive pride has good reason. Here at South, we have a high standard of academic achievement. We've got good classes and good students. We also have an exceptional amount of athletic and artistic ability. Last year, we received an award for the most outstanding athletic year in the Valley League -quite an honor! We have many aspiring actors and actresses, artists, and photographers. We have a student government that accomplishes its goals and an A.S.B, president who fights for us, even when the odds are sorely against us. We have many active clubs for fun and learning. We've even got a principal who really believes in us and respects us. When all of these things can be found in one school, there is a lot to be proud of. That's why South Salem High students are known for their pride. When these things stick around year after year, they become tradition. With traditions like these, there's nothing wrong with traditionalism . Our reputation is something to be proud of! That's why we're proud to say, WE ARE THE SAXONSV' e e
