Mrs. Susan Getsie, English teacher, is taken aback by a student's appalling sense of grammar and sentence struc- ture. School changes seen in classes at South For many unchaotic years the halls of South Side ceased to host a freshman class. It seemed inevi- table that someday the freshmen would once again invade the san- ity, and this year was the year they chose to do it. There were many complaints registered when it was confirmed that the freshmen would be joining the ranks at South; and as the summer wore on, these complaints registered in a higher pitch. The seniors felt particularly infringed upon. It was hoped that the Class of 1980 would be lucky to graduate without such a tragic incident, but it was not to be. So many changes, so immature, so terribly crowded, were the views of the upperclassmen. The sophomores lodged their complaints with a sort of twilight zone syndrome. They somehow became a forgotten class, lost in the confusing tangle of new changes. They entered South unnoticed and never experienced the baby of the school stage that all else have faced in the tenth grade. The actual entr ance of the freshmen came guickly and was adjusted to with comparative ease within the first few weeks of school. There was an unheralded addition of many new staff mem- bers; but they, like all the new young faces, melted into the foli- age of South Side without confu sion. The unfounded fears about the freshmen were soon dispelled and replaced by a sense of necessary cooperation that made this year a success. 2-V t-?79Q
