the First Goal- EDUCATION Finding that teachers are always willing to offer help, Dave Eaton re- ceives a little mathematical advice from Miss Mabel Fortney. Striving to present the best possible educational oppor- tunities, South has added new facilities — new classrooms, the girls' gym, and the remodeled chemistry laboratory, to name only a few. Accompanying these physical changes have been advances in teaching methods and techniques: South now offers three courses — college preparatory, commercial, and general — so that each student may select subjects to best prepare himself for his chosen future. Furthermore, South lanes classes in English, mathematics, Latin, and physics to encourage each student to work to his capacity. These laned classes include special' courses, which give superior students the opportunity to cover extra material and to delve into subjects more deeply than do other students. Exercising their mental powers, students concentrate as they work on an assignment to be handed in the following day.

1962 The Vigor of Youth, the Wisdom of the Learned, the Enthusiasm of Belonging-- We're from South Side, couldn't be prouder! yell stu- dents with enthusiasm at pep sessions and games. School spirit keeps them at football games during a downpour and urges them to camp out' at the Coliseum before basketball games. Feeling the spirit of belonging, they participate in school events and congregate in the gym before school and dur- ing fifth period. As members of organizations they make lasting friendships through group participation in numerous club projects. Both invigorated and subdued by the holiday spirit, stu- dents decorate the building at Christmas time and sing carols in foreign tongues. For this and other holidays they plan and present assemblies, some lively and light, others serious and inspiring. Throughout the year students exhibit a most important spirit, the yearning for knowledge and truth. Through class discussions and extra-curricular activities, they seek answers and attempt to find a meaning and purpose in life. The Greeley Room receives a touch of holiday spirit as Martha Hout and Cheryl Spangle carefully trim the huge tree that bri.ghtens rhis room during the Christmas season. Now e-v-e-r-y-body! urge the reserve cheerleaders Sue Harrod, Sharon Bass, Nancy Robinson, Barbie Rea, and Martha Dixon as they whip up pep at one of the many reserve games.
