Witness unbelievable amazing feats of athletic ability and unbelievable examples of mental prowess. The sights and sounds of the greatest school on earth begin every morning at 8:30 for 180 incredible days, here at Southern High School in the heart of Alamance County. For All Classes at Little Cost, Spectacular Productions, Grandest, Largest, Book worms. A crowd of people in the library show that reading is not a lost art. Best -words straight from a Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus poster that could just as easily apply to Southern and its people. The circus atmosphere on campus was largely due to the feeling of friendliness and sense of adventure that ultimately overcame all of our disheartening experiences. We sweated in August and then suffered from frostbite between October and April. We saw the notorious killer, Son of Green Acres, otherwise known as Southern High, owns two vintage trac- tors. ' Sam, arrested in New York, and closer to home we saw a ditch appear in the student parking lot. Our football team suffered an early conference loss to Cummings High, but the Southern spirit never flagged. The girls' volleyball team finished first in the conference-their third conference championship in as many years. Introduction 3 Ballot Box Blues.

Pandemonium reigns as over-exuberant football players get psyched for the big game. 4 Introduction Steady studying. The library is a great place for research and memorizing. The Southern style of loyalty backed up the wrestlers, the basketball teams, the track teams, the tennis team, the golf team-all of the athletes who made us winners. The cheerleaders and 'ettes kept us cheering even when victory seemed like a dream. .Students did not allow their feelings to get the upper hand when they found out that because of money problems the Southerner would arrive in the spring instead of fall. No, they accepted the unpleasant fact and continued to give the staff the support they so desperately needed. Our strong sense of community led many of us to work in local stores and businesses. The White Christmas assembly gave everyone a chance to get involved in their community, and nearly all participated. A new club, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, appeared and the community gained a group of people dedicated to scoring points for the Lord. - From the full-scale productions like prom night to the smaller-scale' assemblies, Southern became the Big Top under which a thousand and one unique performances were being given. Introduction 5 THE CENTE School was not simpyly a place of study and hard work- it was also the center of excitement for over one thousand active students. Football games, track meets, basketball, wrestling matches, pageants, musical productions and club meetings all took place within the buildings of Southern, making it seem very much like the hectic center ring of a circus. Whether l the student was deeply involved or just a spectator, school activities provided an interesting break from the sometimes monotonous routine of the Three R's. High sign. Faithful Patriot fans wave the red-and-white sign declaring their loyalty. 6 Student Life Autumnal art. A falI-time .stilI-Iife provides a model for art students like Greg Chester :4 .

He entered a marathon race to see how quickly he could burn down the school. Torch in hand, like the Statue of Liberty, he dashed behind the chorus and out the side wing. Screamin ladies cheered him on for fear that e might turn on them. Soon the scenes of the Civil War would come to everyonelsmind tthose tear-filled, blood-shed years of gray against bluel. Students, parents, teachers, and friends would arrive in time to learn something about their heritage and relive those days long past while watching scenEs ofseriousness and comed . Silence fi led the air as the first strands of Shenandoah floated softly by. Although no words passed, one could distinctly hear the instruments sing: Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you . . . signifying the immense love 14 Musical I I and loyalty the people held for this vast valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Two armies formed; one of gray, the other of blue. Each told his own cause and his willin mess to fight for what he believed in. Tlhe flag of Dixie rose, and the Civil War began. Soon the hardships of war affected ever one. In the midst of all this conf ict stood a Shenandoah Valley farmer, Charlie Anderson who had tried to keep the promise he had made to his deceased wife that he would rear the family in a proper Christian manner. l Not only was Shenandoah a war story, but also la comedy, a tragedy, and a tender loverstory. Can you imagine how traumatic it was when a grandfather-to-be discovered his grandson wasia irl? Also the audience could not help eing moved by the tragic situations befalling Charlie Anderson - the loss of his wife, two sons, and a daughter-in-law and he capture of his youngest son.

While waiting for their diplomas, these girls stand around relieved that they've made it. 16 Graduation It seemed somewhat ridiculous when the representatives from Herff Jones dropped by as early as October to take orders for announcements from seniors, How were they to concentrate on such futuristic matters as graduation when they weren't even sure they could pass one of Mrs. Janette Loy's tests, let alone pass the twelfth grade? Becoming a senior was an awakening experience, one that took a while to be absorbed. When taken as a whole, a 180-day school year looked pretty long, and for some it seemed like an eternity. However, for the majority of seniors the time period was alarmingly short - so short, in fact, that before they could draw a quick breath they were confronted with Class Day preparations, distribution of caps and gowns, and mailing announcements. Once the announcements were off, though, there was a lull in the preparations. For a short while nothing more significant happened, except that Mrs. Loy was raking in the money and Mr. Charles Stanley was in a tizzy trying to get everyone's college and career plans squared away. Then the Sunday night before graduation, seniors attended the traditional Baccalaureate service, and suddenly they realized that their high school days were numbered. The service, with its theme of I Will Never Pass This Way Again, was handled by five honor students, and a musical selection was performed by the Belles and Sons. The Reverend David Merriman of Bethel United Methodist Church presented the sermon, entitled Visions, Dreams, and Nightmares. The seniors were beginning to understand that they were almost at the end of what had seemed to be a long road, and the Baccalaureate sermon provided a chance for seniors to reflect on where they had been and where they were going. Time had caught up with the seniors, and now only a few short days remained before they left high school. Graduation 17 1111-2 1111Q1111Qm11 SQQQ?

JUST ONE CBIG CHAPPY CFAmILY By Kim Coggins We, the Southern community, are united under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We combine personal leisure hours with our families, community, and church activities. We take our close relationships for granted and often do not stop and realize what life would be like without each other. What would life be like if we could not get together on a Saturday afternoon or on a late summer night to go tramping through the woods on a nature hike? Many a leisure hour would be wasted for Stuart Way, Craig Patterson, and Jimmy Wood. They would no longer get together with friends to compete in their favorite pastimes - hunting, fishing, or gigging. The Daniel Boone , figure and the pioneer spirit would be gone. They would no longer get up at daybreak to check their traps. No longer would the joyous roar of their hounds fill the air at two in the morning or three in the afternoon while chasing a coon, squirrel, or deer. Their guns and boats would sit idly by while ponds would become overpopulated with fish. Weekend trips to the coast would be cancelled after Labor Day. What would life be like if we did not have freedom of worship and could not participate in any youth activities we wanted to? The Church would no longer be a part of society. Carolyn Clapp and Nancy Curl would not be able to show their talents as servers and bargainers to raise money for their building fund at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church. Fasting thirty hours in an attempt to lose weight at Bethel United Methodist Church for CROP would be unheard of. Southerners, ghouls, and goblins would not run from house to house threatening Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Gene Aldridge would no longer have to dress up as Wolfman in Pleasant Hill's Haunted House. The excitement would disappear when we realized the ghost was not Jill Cox. The merriment of seeing someone's face turn green with fear would vanish, and we would no longer be pushed down steps and through dark spooky halls. What would life be like if we walked into Burger King and all we saw were strange faces instead of Debbie Sikes, Molly Wicker, and Sherrie Braxton wearing red and yellow suits and singing Have it your way . . . ? Their bright shining faces would not enlighten our day. Byrd's would be for the birds because without Ann Hodgin, Jackie Rogers, Tim Johnson, and Eddie Ross it would be friendless. Tastee Freez would become an unsavory ice cu be without their warmth and vitality. We would feel lost without these people -those we have come to know as part of our one big happy family.

Girls' Track 23 Fancy Footwork With the arrival of sunny days, short shorts, tennis shoes, and suntans came track season once again. Here at last was an opportunity for guys who had not participated in the winter sports to display their talents in the track and field events. Practice began, and along with the old pros assembled out on the field came an assortment of new trackers, ready to try their luck at some running, jumping, and throwing. All hoped that with a little fancy footwork they could be track stars, but after a few days of practice these new boys soon learned what the old had already discovered - that it just wasn't that easy! Hurdle humdrum. Rodney Thompson tries to gain a small lead against his Bartlett-Yancey opponents. 24 Boys' Track Although the precious afternoons that these men sacrificed always resulted in aching muscles and tired bones, running countless times around the football field was not quite so bad when the boys spent most of the time goofing off. Pulling down the gym shorts of an unsuspecting victim has always been a tradition at Southern, and this year was no exception! Every few minutes someone felt his ears go red as his shorts went down, and a few of the less fortunate even had theirs removed! The coaches had trouble controlling the team, but keeping up with it was even harder. A few times they arrived on the field only 220 Blues. Greg Bynum gives his best but this time it just isn't good enough. to find that the whole track team was missing. After endless searching, these guys were found lalong with a few extrasi engaged in the latest waste-time activity - boxing matches. A three-minute round, and the winner was on his way to the top. This was a lot of fun, but unfortunately it did not help much at the next meet! In spite of all the clowning around, complaining, and numerous aches and pains, many boys placed in their events. However, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the season was over, and track could be forgotten until next year. And he's off!

On top of all of that there was not any rain to cool things down. Maybe this extra warm weather had something to do with the fact that they wound up in third place. Among the players there were four juniors, Randy Shoffner, who became the top player; Craig Sturdivant, Jim Warren, and Tripp Hughes. The only sophomore on the team was Joel Faucette. In spite of the small number of participants on the team, they had a really good season. That is, they had a good season if one overlooked the heatstrokes, the sunburns, and the parched throats.

Golf 27 I mum gnu: n3 n3 uo uo ng Bo n o g I Bounce, bounce, bounce. As the tennis season BO opened, the players started out with lots of , hard work and practice. All the practicing and pavement-pou nding resulted in a vastly improved team, and the progress of each individual player soon became apparent. Throughout the entire season it seemed that each player remained good friends. Even when the teammates had to play against each other for the top three spots on the team, they did their best to win and tried to remain calm and in control. It was not always easy to walk away from the courts with a friend who had just beaten you, but both members learned how he or she had to improve, accepted that fact, and played better the next time. In the beginning a few games were lost, but the backhands and forehands of each player improved as Coach Jerry McMasters gave some assistance. Even though he realized he did not have a Chris Evert or Jimmy Connors, he knew that the team did have potential. In fact, early problems were ironed out with the end result being a 7-3 record and second place in the conference. Before each game the tension reached epic proportions. Each player had heard so much about the other team's players that it was not uncommon to see bent Wilson T- 2000'5, shredded tennis nets, and dripping, deodorless armpits. Despite all the adversity, we nevertheless survived the heat of the court and kept the PATRIOT spirit alive and well in Alamance County. 28 Tennis Jock shock.

However, for a group of young men at Southern it meant love for the national pastime, baseball. This ardent devotion to the game and the team catapulted the Patriots into the state play-offs'.for the first time in ten years. There the honeymoon ended, as Southern lost to a powerful Wake Forest-Rolesville team. With the large number of Iettermen returning, the Patriots were expected to be tough. However, the first of the season proved to be an exercise in futility for five of our first eight games were lost. But don't think the PATS were doomed. Beginning with the annihilation of Cummings, the baseball team roared to ten consecutive victories. Highlighting our sweep through the conference were many extraordinary feats.

Tryouts began and soon the c osen team became excited and determined to have another winning season. Boy, when we did get into the season, some fantastic thin s happened! The first was a ig victory over Cummings 44-0, followed by our 8-3 win over Dudley, who had been second in the state the year before. Remember what happened when we suffered those two defeats over Graham? The games were forfeited because two of their players were playing with another team and were declared ineligible. Because of this, our regular season record showed fourteen wins and no losses. One reason for our success was the way the team and coaches worked together. Twelve of the girls were returning for their second season and there were five newcomers. All these great players combined to average 16 runs per game while allowing their opponents only 3.2. t Five of the team starters this year were batting at or above .500 going into the state playoffs. Mar Moren led this charge batting .588 f0 lowed by Lou Williamson at .543, Lisa Lewis at .540, and both Katen Braxton and Amy Cartner hitting .500 a piece. These five, along with the other twelve dynamic players, led us into the state playoffs in Mar. Pla ing these took us into Sun Val ey w ere we were stopped after three games.

It was a basic, plan-A package school with only the bare necessities: teachers, students, and cheerleaders. To break the monotony in 1974 a new era began, simultaneously came the grapplerettes for the wrestlers and the batgirls for the baseball team. Only a short while later the track team was rigged with trackettes. Boosterettes were added to earn funds for overall sports in 1976. In a few years there'll probably be racquettes forthe tennis team! Is there no end to the ettes ! Some people think it's silly to have so many ettes, however, these girls do more than just prance around campus in short skirts. They really move when their sport comes in season and are vitally important to the team members they serve. The grapplerettes help set up mats and peddle Gatorade to the dehydrated wrestlers. Batgirls get lots of exercise retrieving the balls that the mighty Patriots slam over the fence. They also drag bats out of the way of eager players. When not watching hairy legs dash around the field, the trackettes are busy setting up equipment and measuring distances. Boosterettes raise money for all of these extra-curricular activities by having annual brunswick stew sales and pushing programs at athletic events. Many turn up their noses to the select few in matching outfits, but these devoted girls stick with their team through thick and thin. They brighten school hallways with decorated lockers and please the athletes with what's inside them. In other words, ateam without an ette is like a sprinter without his stopwatch, a wrestler without his spitoon, an outfielder without his glove. . . Batgirl and buddy.

But for some, the summer means more work and less vacation. Have you wondered why we have such a great football team, great cheerleading, and a terrific band year after year? It's because of the hard work each and every student on each team puts out during the summer. The teams weren't fond of the idea of missing many of their favorite summer activities, but because of their hard work and participation, we always had the type of season our school wanted. Working In summer to earn extra money took us away from many summer activities. Work meant hard labor In mills, stores, restaurants, etc. Don't think that students were the only ones having to work.

They served as refuges for algebra evaders, the open road for would-be Easy Riders, and the scene of multiple crimes for junior jailbirds. In an instant a mild-mannered hall could become a blaring disco complete with disc jockey and dancers. At 11:30 every day the bell became a prison for anyone who was stupid enough to be in it. During any period numerous skippers could be found lining the halls. Southerners had it rough. People who skipped at Williams or Cummings had an infinite number of places to skip to because they were in the city. At Southern the only place you could go was Southern Middle School. After conniving their way out of class, many of these people just stood in the hall outside their class for lack of any place to go. Many of the younger students, who could only drive ,in their dreams, pretended they were Mario Andretti and the hallway was the Indianapolis 500 Speedway. These vicarious speedsters could be heard vroooooooooming down the walkways at all times, disturbing every class when they shifted gears. One favorite hall pastime became fire extinguisher fights. Though illegal at all times texcept in the case of firel the thrill of squirting soda-acid into the face of an innocent passer-by was too much to pass up. This type of conduct decreased when students began to worry about empty fire extinguishers when a real fire occurred. The halls iD Building in particular1 were also utilized for jamming and getting down to the music. Every morning sleepy-eyed teachers and students were abruptly brought back to life because Hallmark.

Perhaps the most memorable people in Southern's hallways were the 11:30 lunch bunch. Around 11:20 the feeling of suspense spread throughout Southern. Everyone held his breath. 11:35, 11:36,11:37, 11:38 RRRRRRRINGH They're off! Suddenly the halls would be filled with myriads of students shoving their way to the lunchroom. Any poor soul who did not know the correct defense against the stampeding mob became a prisoner in a cell made entirely of humans. These sacred corridors were the roads to destiny as well as the cafeteria. They served the students in a thousand capacities and were the mainstream of Southern High School. The teacher may have ruled in the classroom, but mayhem ruled supreme in the halls.

As early as the third week of school Homecoming crept into the minds of students. Clubs met, plans were made, and hours of work began. The Jr. Engineer's Club and the Jr. Civitans continued their traditional float rivalry. The Jr. Engineers organized at Amy Sharpe's house to build Southern Force, a modified star ship from STAR WARS. The civitans retaliated with a giant football made of Kleenex and elbow grease. The Latin Club decorated the visitor's side with a Buccaneer display. The pep club painted the hillside with a huge S to rallyiteam spirit. Hours upon hours were spent selecting sponsors for classes, clubs, and the Homecoming Court. It seemed like 1001 clubs had meetings during the break at least once a day. Voting for class attendants and Homecoming contestants became a homeroom habit. The voting process was not without problems. Some clubs elected the same girls to be their sponsor. Other clubs tried to avoid this by waiting till the class attendants were chosen, but this made some clubs almost late in submitting their name. The night of October 21 brought all the hours of preparation to a head. The sponsors that took so long to choose made their way to Mrs. Alluwee Stephen's room to pick up their flowers. Finally everyone headed to the field. Then doom descended. The officials announced that the Homecoming activities could not exceed fifteen minutes or Southern would be penalized.

No coffee break but at least a break comes at a necessary time for Greg Edwards and Randy Stuckeyi ; L;x t r V The Green Bay Packers under Coach Vince Lombardi were known as a dynasty. Likewise, our Patriots have enjoyed the same distinction in Mid-State East football Circles. Being in the upper echelon for several years, Southern realized that there were many long-standing vendettas among the hungry conference foes. Nevertheless, the mighty PATS weren't about to step aside knowing a third consecutive Mid-State East Championship was at stake. In the Southern tradition the big red machine jumped off to two big victories over 4-A opponents, Henderson Vance and Durham Hillside. It was again the stellar running of fieet-footed Greg Bynum and the quickness and aggressiveness of the defense in coming up with four fumbles and three pass interceptions that caused Southern to top Henderson. In what may be termed perhaps the best second half of football in our history, the PATS rallied behind rthe accuracy of Randy ' Shoffner's five of twelve passes and again the tenacious defense to defeat a big, strong Hillside team. Victory for us again was considered commonplace and perhaps by some few was thought of too lightly. On Rub-a-dub-dub. Paul Bowden attempts to wipe off the Wd and the blood of hi - '7 st victims before the next play. September 17, 1977, however, we experienced somewhat of a letdown. Again encountering a 4-A team, we came out on the short-end of the deal by losing to North Forsyth by an unlikely score more befitting a baseball encounter. For the doubters, the following week quelched all. In the first conference game of the season we literally mowed down what was supposed to be a good Walter Williams team 28-7. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 7-0 lead, but our offense repeatedly ran plays off inside tackle to score quickly and get right back at them. Described in The Daily Times-News as the league's most excitin match-up and the contestt at will go a long way in determining the ultimate conference victor, the Southern-Cummings game proved to be THE game of the season. Both teams had a lot at stake going into the game. The Patriots had not lost at home since 1973 plus the Cavaliers had not won against the PATS since 1971. However, these records and past history meant little, for 6'3 , 225-p0und Roy Wiley was waiting in the wings to play havoc with Southernts defense. Wiley gained 180 yards whereas we rushed for 192 yards. Varsity Football 51 SETTING N CW The PATS, winners of the Mid-State 3-A title three of the last four years and co-champ the other season, finished the remainder of the season with an unblemished record and only one game away from returning to the state playoffs tunfortunately Walter Williams was unable to defeat Cummings in their last game of the seasonJ Compared to the Cummings team, the remaining conference foes proved to be little more than toys to be manipulated by the powerful PATS at will. Thus the season ended with the taste of victory but disappointment that we did not get to play that eleventh ame. The PATS could not have enjoyed an 8-2 record had it not been for some outstanding players. Spectators and football fanatics alike agreed that the main person to look for on Friday nights was ol' number 43, Greg Bynum. The fleet senior capped a great career with 229 yards against Graham thus giving him 1,478 yards for a new school record for a single season. Also for the season he was the only back in the conference to go over 200 yards rushing in three different games. Of course, not all the accolades should go to Bynum. Without our outstanding offensive line, which was led by All-Conference guard, Bob Teague, our rushing game would not have been as effective and certainly those Close games could not have been won without the consistent kicking of All- Conference Place Kicker Randy Shoffner. Led by City-County Defensive Player of the Year, Charles Milliken, our defensive unit again excelled. In fact, along with Milliken, Paul Bowden, David Baldwin, and Greg Edwards were picked as All-Conference performers. As runner-up in the conference, we placed seven members on the team. giant , It's a long ways up!

Even the marines could not produce a color guard as distinguished as Southern's ROTC. GET up AND BBBEIE One of the tunes the band played this year was Get Up and Boogie, and that's just what they did. Instead of the usual measured strides, the band did a side-stepping number that attracted a lot of people's attention. This was the first year they had attempted anything like this, and it was really fun to watch. The band members weren't by themselves though. The flag bearers also danced and pranced while the rifle guards dipped and twirled to the rhythm of the music. After a year's absence, the high-stepping baton twirlers reappeared. Decked out in their slinky attire, sandra Ellison and Sandra Harrell fascinated everyone with their timing and coordination. Aside from the reincarnation of the majorettes, another phenomenon appeared. Being accustomed to seeing only female rifle guards, the crowd was thrilled to see a masculine bod, namely Maurice Morrow, twirling a white M-16. For the people who put their hearts, souls, feet, rifles, and batons into it, it was more than just something to waste time between halves.

Football Soldiers of fortune. Waiting to get onto the battlefield, Charles Holt, Keith Stone, Donald DeWoody, and lames Brafford view the action. Moving on up to the big time - that's just what our junior varsity football team did this year. Not being content with mediocre seasons in the past, the JV's were ready to break the routine and rid themselves of the bad taste of defeat. In short order, the baby PATS discovered that Southern Middle ball and junior varsity ball were two entirely different games. This new game meant longer and harder . practices,strenuous workouts on the weight machine, and no mama to wipe your nose when some big, burly varsity brute fell on you in practice. Considering the team consisted mostly of freshmen, who had never played high school football before, the team did unusually well. Complimented by the more experienced sophomores and a few juniors, the JV's finished with a 4-4 record, considerably better than years past. Most people, even-Southern's students, think our junior varsity team is not important. But remember today's JV's are tomorrow's varsity. If both the freshmen and, sophomores continue to work really hard and pull their heads together, they can make it up the hill and maybe even get a piece of the pie. Power sweeper.

But, ref, I wasn't carrying the ball; it's a new kind of pass! and 50 went the shouts of encouragement among the SHS Volleyball team. The red and white team, consisting of starters Donna Schronce, Lesa Kimes, Amy Cartner, Rhonda Cooper, Susan . Wilson, and Janice Harlukowicz, got started off on the right track by defeating Williams, 15-7, 15-11, 15-1, 16- 14. Despite losing four starters off last year's championship team, the returning Iettermen jelled again to claim the third consecutive Mid-State Championship. Our razzIe-dazzle girls continued their skillful victories, excluding a small defeat by Eastern Alamance, the only loss in three years, until they finally took the Mid-State Championship with a record of 13-1. Unfortunately they were defeated in the State Play-offs by Grimsley thus ending a fantastic season of volleyball with a record of 13-2. Also, on hand for the Big Red team were Susan Dismuke, Lezlie Kimes, Kelly Fogleman, Janie Schronce, Teresa Shaw, Susan Matthews, Kathy Holt, and Lou Craddock. Had it not been a total team effort, the volleyball team would not have reached the heights it did. 1 A ticipation.

The Civinettes protest about the injustices they suffered dura ing the Graham game. Duringthetime ofoneroom school houses, lunch pails, johnny houses, and wood stoves, lessons consisted entirely of book larnin'. School followed a strict pattern and new ideas or changes were very uncommon. Students were shielded from embarrassing hush-hush subjects and unpleasant occurrences; therefore, they were totally unprepared for life. Everything had to be learned the ard way-by firsthand experience. The world changed, however, and out of necessity the schools did also. With the coming of television, Cosmopolitan, and PG rated movies, the attempt to keep students in the dark was futile, so the only alternative was to give a little. Now the curriculum taught everything-literally! One new-fangled course at Southern was developed by Mr. J. D. Barrett. After burning the midni ht oil, he finally complete the plans for a new crmes JlRE. CHANGING By Beth Graham course for juniors and seniors. Unfortunately, his brainstorm subsided before naming this course, and in desperation he called it Survival . Because of the name, students were skeptical of it at first, and with good reason! The wondered if they mi ht be fown to Alaska to ?ive with 'ust a dag er, three matc es, and the atest copy of 1000 Ways to Fix Blubber. However, the few brave souls who signed up soon found that this was not the case at all. Most of the activities were of a more practical nature and taught students how to do anything from changing a tire, to geltlting married, to writing a w: . In Survival, the girls had to do many thin s the boys did, and the boys ad to trade places with the girls. This was the start of a whole new era. Soon girls began taking electronics and auto mechanics, boys could be seen in home ec., and girls donned football paraphernalia for powder-puff encounters. The quest of equal rights was not the only current event practiced in schools, however. Freedom of thought was exercised in Mrs. Janice Shoffner's English classes when the students gave persuasive speeches on controversial subjects of their choice. George Washington's tutor would have gasped if he could have heard report after report on homosexuality, abortion, transexuality, and drugs. For those who had yet to learn the facts of life there was Family Life. Althou h at first there were many bishes and a lot of stuttering, students finally agreed that taking this course was a lot less trouble than sneaking peeks from The Joys of Sex at Browz-a-Bit. By developing new and innovative curriculums, education did take a chanEe for the better, at least in t e eyes of the students. However, parents just did not know what to expect when they asked, What did you learn in school today? 60 Changing Times Essay 11111111 -- -- uh --- 24-. in u- -- -- - -- -- --- ---. 1 111111111 For better or for worse.

E L brightened up ventriioquist ac wax Cat calls and whistles trilled as Spot chased twenty-one lovely Miss Southern contestants onto and off the stage. Young gents fell headover-heels in love with these figures as they suddenly realized, Hey! This is the first time I've ever seen her in a dress. Although the audience only saw the calm, cool, and collected girls, they had not realized the turmoil that had gone on for the past week and a half. Backstage, all the contestants and six teachers were panic-stricken. The pageant had to be delayed fifteen minutes and people were climbing the walls, screaming, This is the most disorganized thing I have ever seen. The night of the pageant everything seemed to go wrong. Mr. Alton Wilson had forgotten to tell Ms. Glenda McIntyre to cut out the girls' contestant numbers. As each contestant got ready to go on stage, Mrs. Janette Loy and Ms. McIntyre hurriedly fixed her funny little numbered circle. If that was not enough, the microphones had not been turned on, and Nicola Cheek brought in a swarm of bees with her flower basket. Gradually the girls appeared on stage, but their nerves were still on edge. The array of talents seemed endless. Cold hearts mellowed when they felt the effects of Tapestry, You Light Up My Life, and Anticipation. Heads turned as Benita Dollar, Tammy Moser, and Helen Thompson danced across the stage. The audience went into deep belly laughs when Myra Thomas did a skit about five and half year old Edith Ann. They had thoughts, such as How cute, when Randi Kemp and Alfonzo showed how ventriloquism really worked. They watched in amazement as Joanne Thompson's, Keron Murray's, and Janet Bowman's hands sped across the keys of the piano. As each girl did her talent, three judges watched her every move. They could allot 20070 each for character, poise, activities, beauty, and talent. 0 At 9:50 the judges left the auditorium to decide on the five semi-finalists, and the audience took a brief intermission. After a few minutes everyone began to grow impatient so Miss Burlington, Sara Boney, agreed to break the monotony and played the piano twice. Last year's Miss Southern, Lisa Jeffreys, helped also when she made her final appearance and sang while three of her friends played guitars. The judges still had not come back, so Ray Reid thought up the idea of See Spot run, flip, and jump. They used the reflection from the spotlight, and suddenly everyone remembered those stories they had read in the first grade. At 10:30 the mystery was finally solved, and the white envelope was passed to President David Long and Homecoming Queen Karen Grant, who had acted as MC's throughout the pageant. They chose Benita Dollar, Myra Worth, Kim Pickard, Randi Kemp, and Janet Bowman. After the asking of the question, Who is the most important person in your life? , the judges retired to deliberate again, and some thought they even took a nap. Finally at 11:30 the long-awaited announcement was made. Benita Dollar had been selected Miss Southern 1977-78. Miss Southern 63 CLVKsI-m as? $5? mm .93, l? lllt 5? mm mm Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer -most people would just as soon have forgotten all these jolly carols rather than belt them out. The older we got the more Christmas seemed like a hassle. No longer did we lay in bed with our heads covered hoping that Santa Claus would think we were asleep, but as we left our cavity-prone years behind, the thrill, for the most part, went with it. Even though the thrill of Christmas was gone for some, others, particularly parents, enjoyed the annual Christmas Concert, which featured 134 melodious voices. As usual the group's performance proved to be electrifying. There were many featu red soloists such as Wayne Hayes, who sang a verse of Silent Night, and there was also a special guest appearance by Arlene Prear, who sang an old favorite, Thank You, Lord. A special trio, consisting of Pam Cole, Rita Aldridge, and Beverly Isley sang, Rise Up Shepherd and Follow. In contrast to the Christmas Concert, the first half of the annual White Christmas Assembly seemed to prove that most of the students felt that Christmas was a burden. Last year, boxes overflowed with toys, clothes, and food. The five needy families chosen from the Christmas Cheer office probably found little to cheer about since the items collected were few. In fact, the showing was so poor that our Student Body President David Long announced that White Christmas would be extended until the next day. Fortunately, the second half of the assembly was not a disappointment as the Choral Department gave a reproduction of its Annual Christmas Concert, which had been presented on December 18. There were students, however, who cheerfully gave of both time and money to make this Christmas a merry one. A few clubs made big plans to spread cheer to less-fortunate people throughout the community. The Civinettes went caroling at the Alamance County Hospital and the Skilled Nursing Division of Memorial Hospital. To bring Cheer to many needy folks, quite a few church youth groups went caroling and planned other activities. Even though this Christmas wasn't the best we've had in years, there were still some events that were worth remembering. Most of us were pleased with the fantastic performance by our Choral Department and the special guests. There were quite a few people who were cheered up by visits from clubs and youth groups. Maybe there was a lesson to be learned from all of the neglect and disappointment present this year. Perhaps as a result we might look back on this year and learn the importance of giving rather than receiving.

THE SHUW MUST 00 0M; The golden age of the American circus began in the late 1800's. James A. Naismith likewise launched another golden age when he invented the game of basketball in 1891. Little would he suspect that seventy-five years later performers of the game, or perhaps they could be better called aerialists andhacrobats, would be enacting The Greatest Show on Eart . Famous circuses have been know for their famous perfor- mers. Stars like Clyde Beatty and Emmett Kelly thrilled audiences with their daring stunts and Showmanship. Our aerialists couldn't walk a tight rope, but they could sky and slam dunk. Performing basketball stunts that stunned their audiences, our players possessed an acrobatic fluidity, much like Philadelphia's Dr. J. We, too, had our share of world- famous performers, or should we say all-conference perform- ers, in the 6'7 frame of Tim Foust. As well known as Tom Thumb of Ringling Brothers, Big Un was Sout. ing card for higher scores. Near the main entrance of any big top could . found the side shows. Persons were surprised, amL disgusted when they observed the snake charmer, swallower, fire eater, and bearded lady. In comparis basketball side shows consisted of a concession stan bathroom muggings, obscene cheers directed at opp teams, and a blackout during the first round ofthe Mid- Tournament. - Many circus acts were quite dangerous because the . formers risked their lives. Basketball wasn't a life or de. matter, but a lot was at stake, namely pride. It would ha been difficult for any team to equal the mark set by the 197i 1977 PATS. Unfortunately we were unable to overcome many adverse conditions, such as increased conference strength with the inclusion of Walter Williams and Cumm- ings, player-coach differences, and at times lack of team play. In reference to the latter Coach Jeff Butler was quoted in the Burlin on Daily Times-News following a decisive 70- 46 loss to Wa ter Williams as sayin , llThis is only the second game I've ever been involved in t at I felt the players really didn't want to play. There's not much to say about it. We've got too many individuals and not enough team play. You can't win with that attitude. When fall arrived, the Circus gave its last performance of the season and headed for its winter quarters. Late in February our season came to a grindin halt also.

Basketbar All, 000d Things Must End Eb, b ,, All good things must come to an end-and this was especially true of the Southern J.V.'s short reign as Mid-State East Cham- pions. There was a reason for this, however, since the team had no returning starters. As a matter of fact, they have few return- ing players. Coach Ray Morgan had hisjob cut out for him from the out- set of the season. A bunch of inexperienced freshmen and a handful of sophomores were the only material with which he had to work. The problem was to build a sharp shooting team from scratch. The situation was a lot like preparing a cake mix, but instead of mixing flour and sugar, the ingredients to be combined were willingness, determination, and sheer guts. It took more than a teaspoon of courage to face the giants of the varsity squad dur- ing practices. After hours of hard work and pounding the hardwood, it was time to face another team in a game. The J.V.'s whipped Cummings and Eastern Randolph both of the times that they met. Chatham Central proved to be no great problem to defeat, either. Unfortunately, these were the only wins of the season, and the young Patriots managed to pull away with a 5-13 record. Leading scorers for the team were freshmen Randy Enoch and Reggie Curtis. Coach Morgan summed up the 1.V.'s season by stating, We lost most of what we had last year and had to start all over. Our lack of experience hurt us, but in my opinion this bunch will be one of the best after a little more endurance. In short, this was a growth year for Southern's J.V.'s, and in the years to come their efforts will become more obvious. Taking a quick breather, Marty Frye catches his breath during a foul shot.

With that team-oriented statement of philosophy, Coach Jerry McMasters began in October to fuse the talents of 13 girls in hopes of establishing as formidable a team as last year's. Coach McMasters felt his team possessed the size and potential necessary to make it a championship con- tender. Southern's Iassies set their goals high at the outset of the season. Hopes of beating Eastern Randolph and beating Bartlett-Yancey in Yanceyville as well as winning the Mid-State East Championship and continuing into State playoffs were idealistic dreams of all. The course of the season proved some of these aspirations realistic. The Lady PATS faced Eastern Randolph on January 6 with a quenchless thirst for victory. The lead seesawed throughout the third period with the Wildcats spurting to a 42-36 lead at the end of the period. The girls fought back, and with a seven-foot shot by Susan Wilson tied the game at 45-45. Unfortunately late in the fourth quarter the Lady Wildcats shot ahead to win by a deceptive margin 59-49. In the second encounter, Coach Ed Todd's Wildcats proved again too much for Southern as they weren't to be stopped. One of the goals of the Lady PATS was realized, however. The girls did something that had not been done in six years, that is, beat Bartlett-Yancey on its home floor. With a full-court press and some red-hot shooting, the PATS'began to take control in the third period changing a three point half-time lead to a six- teen point lead going into the final quarter. Donna Schronce, Kelly Fogleman, and Jackie Jeffries' quickness fortified the press, and Lesa Kimes played her best game of the season by scoring nineteen points. Going into the Mid-State Tournament, Southern had an im- pressive 14-5 record. The Western Alamance Warriors were first to fall victim to the PATS; however, two nights later the Eastern Alamance Eagles stunned the PATS in the semi-finals. Poor ball handling and cold shooting kept Coach McMaster's girls from capitalizing on good scoring opportunities in the final seconds. The season ended at High Point College on February 24. The team looked as though it had things under control until five straight turnovers turned the game around in Northwest's favor. Losing this game ended a season which had begun on such high hopes. 70 Girls' Basketball Season'seRetcord SHS 67 Chatham Central 70 SHS 69 ' Northern Durham , 41 .

Some people thought in their green little minds that the cheerleader's main function was to be a decoration of sorts and that they were to be more or less taken for granted. Others thought they had no purpose other than being pretty and popular. However, they were more than just pretty faces in the crowd. Promoting school spirit was not as easy as it sounded, especially since school sFirit had become a thing of the past. Sti I the cheerleaders pulled together and tried to salvage what little enthusiasm remained. Duties include Baintin spirit posters, fixin basket- all an football players' loc ers, sell- ing ribbons, and participating in team parties. They learned to use their im- aginative minds to conjure up creative 5 its and devise simple ways to spice up our lives. With such time-consumin duties, why did these irls do it? W en asked to respond to t e above question, Kim Pickard, a senior cheerleader, said she thou ht it was worth the trouble to go out or cheerleader in order to get 72 Cheerleaders more involved as well as to sup ort the school. Brenda Peele, head XP cheerleader had another reason for wantin to be a cheerleader. Brenda stated t at she had admired cheerleaders since she was small and consequently had always wanted to be one. Whatever their reasons, last 5 ring over 100 girls tried out for the u timate oal-being a cheerleader. heerleading advisers, senior cheerleaders, and cheerleaders from other schools evaluated the girls on rhythm, coordination, voice quality, enthusiasm and attitude. Life for the cheerleader wasn't all yelling at ballgames and wearing short dresses during cold weather. Sure, it was exciting to cheer at games but staying together as a squad toolt hours of practice. To keep those tricky dance routines and cheers in top order the cheerleaders practiced once or twice a week after school as well as nightly dur- ing the summer. If a cheerleader failed to come to practice three times without a good reason, the penalty was the mis- sing of one and a half games. If their ab- sence was unexcused, they were not able to cheer for two games. The responsibilities of a cheerleader were varied and demanding. Cheering at football and basketball ames was one of their most essentia duties. Ac- cording to Lisa Thomgson, sophomore J.V. cheerleader, the all ames meant everything. All the work urin the summer was done to perfect t e skills and routines displayed during half-time and throughout the games. Besides cheering at games, cheerleaders were encouraged to at- tend a camp or clinic to help them bet- ter their skills. This past summer the J.V. cheerleaders went to a camp at UNC- Wilmington whereas the varsity squad attended a clinic in Burlington. Determined to be goo cheerleaders, these girls worked hard; to promote school spirit, to develop a close relationship between the students and athletes, and to establish high ideals of Southern sportsmanshi to . other schools by sacrificing muc time and effort. By bein involved and in- terested in their SC 001, the cheerleaders stood out as fine exam- ples of school spirit and apprec1ation. Stack 'em up.

SPHW EHIRATEE Southerners have suffered through toilet paper shortages, paper towel shortages and an energy crisis, but this year one of the most serious shortages struck SHS-a spirit shortage, and Spirit Week was no ex- ception. . At one time a multitude of overalled farmers, wacky clowns, and fifties' guys and gals abounded in the halls during the magical time of Spirit Week. It was once a thrill and challenge to spruce up in out- landish clothes, make-up one's face unrecognizably or to be a good 'ole Southern farmer. Spirit Week broke the dull monotony of daily living and gave us all a chance to be looney or to simply have fun. After it was all over we were relieved to rub off that itchy clown make-up, put those black leather jackets into the closet, and slip into a tee-shirt and some comfortable Levi's . This year school spirit and support was therpits. Most students wore their same every-day clothes and went about their normal hum-drum activities. Few students even knew about Spirit Weekvmuch less bothered to dress up. Occasionally down the halls and walks strolled a brave costumed soul-a person who still had some of that old flame left. Were these spirit supporters the last of a dying breed? Despite efforts by concerned cheerleaders and involved partici- pants an attitude of disinterest hovered over the majority of stu- dents. Sadly we watched as the traditional active Southern spirit dwindled down to a slow-burning flame. Very few Patriots had any of that old vibe left. It seemed that customs of the past had come to an end. We would all become faces with no uniqueness left. There would be no clowns, no fifties' hoods and chicks, and worst of all there would be no farmers. We could only hope that in the future this spirit shortage would come to an end, and maybe Southern's old legendary characters would return. Harpo?

It was a time to socialize with your buddies, enjoy hilarious skits devised by the cheerleaders, and was a way to liven up the last twenty minutes of sixth period. There were numerous things that friends did or talked about durin pep rallies. Friends discussed a fight t at had taken place in A Building, the new kid on campus, and the latest gossiF. Occasionally students would disp ay school spirit by bumping with their buddies or even Cheering along with the cheerleaders. However, they usually went only for the chance to grab canciy or bubble gum. Talking to your bud y or knocking his hip out of joint, got old. Students would sometimes get down to serious business ,and listen to what the cheerleaders had to spit out. Various skits performed by the cheerleaders were a barrel of lau hs. The firstdpep rally performed byrt e cheerlea ers was entitled The welve Years of School, which was sung to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas. The cheerleaders lined up in pairs and each one had a messa e to present. During the first year of sc ool don't you ever wet your pants. Then there were the ones: never pick your nose, don't get drunk, and never go arking. The next pep rally was entitled 'ls it Tlme? Is it time? Time for what? A victory as everyone knew! The most embarrassing pep rally came near Halloween when the cheerleaders dressed as witches. They stirred a brew, and Mary Faye Foster was the prime in- redient for the stew. When it was time or the stew to boil, Mary Faye decided she was too self-conscious to jump out and say her punch line. As the year progressed, pep rallies began to get scarce, so students were moved to laugh and cheer along with the cheerleaders and, to their surprise, they had beaucoups of fun. Some students found pep rallies bor- ing: silly, and a waste of time, while ot ers who really liked them found them necessary and enjoyable. There were also those who found pep rallies a time to goof off and Eerhaps even a good time to leave so ool without the administration findin out about it. The cheerleaders Id a fantastic job. While performing the skits, they got Elenty of laughs from the student body. ut whatever the student response may have been the cheerleaders went to a lot of trouble preparing these skits and deservedto be a preCIated by the stu- dent body even i they weren't at times.

Los- ing nine starters, including four state qualifiers, left the Patriots unsure of the success of the season. The team's nucleus made the Patriots a threat to win any match or tournament. Dan Smith treturning State Champl, Jay Lineberry treturning State Runner- Upl, David Baldwin, Bob Teague, and Craig Patterson supplied the power to assure the Southern team of a winning season. Anthony Smith t20-5l as a freshman and conference champs also gave the team impor- tant victories. After finishing poorly in the Eden Holiday Classic, Southern tried to rebuild its weaker weight classes. Jay, Dan, and Anthony won individual cham- pionships while David placed third in the Eden Holiday Classic. Dan won the Eden tournament for the fourth consecutive year. Southern opened the regular season winning impressively over Eastern and Graham before losing to Walter Williams. Southern easily defeated East Randolph, Bartlett- Yancey, and Cummings before los- , ing to Western Alamance. The second half of the season went the same as the first round with the season ending with the Patriots in third place in the Mid-State with a 10-4 record. Southern entered the Mid-State Tournament with new optimism. Brad Moser, Lynn Dismuke, Kevin Justice, Darrell Barrett, and Ernest Nickerson gained experience during the season and each presented a challenge to win conference cham- pionships. Dan, David, Jay, and Craig won individual championships while Darrell and Ernest placed fourth. Anthony placed third on the referee's failure to enforce a rule and the Patriots also finished third as a team. . The sectional tournament at Walter Williams was next on the schedule and Southern's poor con- ference finish eliminated them as a top contender. Southern wrestlers, victimized by injury and poor of- ficiating all season, fought back in the sectionals. With eighteen teams competing, Southern took the first day lead in the tournament. Fate again proved to be disasterous as an injury eliminated Anthony who was leading 6-2 in a crucial match. That match would have assured Southern of the team championship. Dan won the sectional event for the fourth time. Jay and David also won in- dividual titles. Craig was sectional runner- up. Due to injury Anthony fell to fourth, but the team still finished secohd, just five points behind Orange High. Southern finally finished ahead of all area op- ponents. Dan, Jay, David, Craig, and Anthony qualified to compete in the regional event at Cary High School in Raleigh. Southern lost Anthony due to in- jury in the sectional tournament and finished second with four healthy grapplers left to compete in the regional event at Cary High. With over one hundred schools par- ticipating, Southern was not con- sidered a serious threat to capture the title. Dan and Jay continued to win impressively, and David and Craig also emerged from the first day's action with important victories. David continued to show his ex- perience by successfully winning in the semi-finals and advancing to the regional finals. Craig lost and drop- ped into the loser's bracket, but bat- tled back to score valuable points and place fourth in the event. Jay and Dan won individual crowns while David lost a controversial deci- sion in the finals. This fine effort put Southern in first place, but Ragsdale battled back to tie the Patriots. Southern became the regional co- champions in the East and became a favorite to capture the state title. Jay was voted the most outstanding wrestler in the Eastern Regionals. I? I U e ' HO!!!

Tiedewilh Riggsdalg, l Rh, Jae ' Southern traveled to Winston- Salem Parkland for the state tourna- ment with a reborn optimism. All four wrestlers advanced through the first round and Southern took the first round lead. Craig Patterson dropped his second round match and was eliminated from the tourna- ment after ,a fine junior season that boasted 25 victories. Dan, Jay, and David advanced to the semi-finals and Southern found itself in second place behind Ragsdale. Dan, Jay, and David won their semi-final matches impressively an regained the early second day lead. Southern entered the finals with a slim lead over Ragsdale but disaster met the Patriots in the finals. Jay defeated David ,Cook of Sanderson 12-8 to gain the state title and all ap- peared well for the Southern grap- plers. Dan was robbed by officials when penalized for four points, the last coming with 30 seconds left, to suffer his first defeat of the season 4- dividrual Recpqu 31. Dan's career mark ended at 110 wins, 4 defeats, and 1 tie, far surpass- ing any North Carolina wrestler in history. Jay also surpassed the 100 victory mark to become only the second wrestler in NC. to achieve that feat. David entered the finals as the last chance for Southern to win the title. In a close battle that was filled with the expected controversy, David was disqualified for being too rough on his opponent. It had been a rough season, and it was ironic that the season would end with a referee determining the team's destiny. After a long season, the Patriots emerged as the best team in the area and in the eyes of many the best team in the state. Amidst the ad- versity and controversy, Southern narrowly lost the state title and finished second. Southern will lose four outstanding seniors in Dan t3 time state finalistl, Jay t2 time state finalistl, David t1978 state runner- upl, and Bob t14-5 in '78l.

CY'casw Sir CI'hat 3 Mg CBabq Disguised as an exciting new phase available only to upperclassmen, the unrelenting researCh paper still had to be dealt with by the juniors and seniors. This frustrating composition assignment brought to surface several problems-more reading, more tests tfor preparationl, more studying, more homework, and last, but most vexing, less time for dating, eating, sleeping and talking on the phone. Being told that one will not become a senior unless he or she turns in a term paper, apathetic students completely abandoned the thought of just forgetting it. The ones that did care thought of other methods to bypass the task even though they did plan to write one. Finding this hard, they started to zero in on one subject and pulled out facts and figures that had been pulled out each previous year by either a junior or senior. The whole term paper idea gave some a terrific migraine. This meant extra frustrations and more time in the library. After concluding that it had to be done and the deadline was definitely approaching, students unexcitedly began the researching phase of the research paper. Digging through books and By Jackie Glover inquisitively pondering, What next? became a daily routine. The libraries of Alamance County were kept busy by students who searched for hard- to- cOme- by sources. The plight of the researchers was complicated more by the scavenger, that Is, the student who collected and horded all available resources on a given topic. Imagine the dilemma of a junior waiting for 28 other students to read a 500-page book which he must discuss in his paper. Junior and senior college preparatory and honors English classes had many possible subjects to select. Some were chosen more than others. For instance, Witchcraft in American Literature and The Autobiographical Nature of Fitzgeraldl 5 Works were popular topics for juniors. As for the more literary-minded seniors, Charles Dickens and his lengthy novels dealing with his treatment of children was offered as a possible research topic. Boring? Oh, no, for by the time one took notes on 89 notecards of which 72 were discarded, its anything but boring. After days, weeks, and even months of constant torture, the brain was fatigued, the eyes closed, and the hand numb. One was totally unaware of all else besides his ever-present tOpic. It was ridiculous to think that valuable time could be sacrificed in doing menial household chores, and therefore it was commonplace to be involved in bickering with parents. Of course, all of that was to be expected. The reality of the deadline being near at hand was catastropic, for some were still obstinately unyielding in an all-out attempt to finalize their work. When the paper was turned in, instead of spelling relief R-O-L-A-l-D-S, it was spelled T-H-R-O-U-G-H. No more sleepless nights, no more trips to the library, no more going without food for hours at a time-nothing to do but catch up on all the television shows that were missed for two months. When term papers were returned, the ones with not- so-good grades hummed Melancholy Baby , and the terrible ones marched to Taps. Triumphantly, however, the students with good grades proudly proclaimed, Yes, Sir. That's My Baby! Term Papers Essay 83 ?geeezaee e ?g eeaaee: e May I have your attention? David Long becomes familiar with the little jobs the presidency brings, M.- I. I h hr' , mmrm 84 Student Council When David Long and Karen Grant took their positions as President and Vice-President of the Student Council, they found that their new job wasn't quite as breezy as it had seemed. All the ideas they had conjured up and all the plans that were giggled in rhyme were easier said than done. They knew that living up to the reputation the Allen and Allen Era had left behind would be a mind boggling and time consuming job. So, as soon as school broke for the summer, the '77-'78 student council knew that their vacation could only last until the next meeting which would probably be in June. Also two of the Executive Council members, Karen Grant and Bonnie Sykes, gave up a week of their fun in the sun to attend the student council workshop at Mars Hill College. As soon as the '77-78 school year began, the student council began calling third period council meetings. Many teachers were amazed that so much time could be used by so many people to accomplish so little. It seemed that no matter how much time the council devoted to projects nothing much more than planning and debating got done. The tradi- tional Homecoming Dance, White Christmas, and the Miss Southern Pageant were favorites this year, but the Iittle extra which make a school year a bit more special seemed non-existent. Time seemed to fly by while Long and Grant filled their heads with plans. It just seemed that no matter what they planned, there just wasn't enough time. The 1977-78 Student Council did have ambition though, which was what a growing government needed. With a little more elbow grease, there was no telling what they could have accomplished. However, the student government got a case of the blueprint blues and somehow never managed to rise above the planning stage. r w h u u M'Mhrk Smile of pride.

They were either good or bad, hot or cold, as exciting as a Carolina-State game or as boring as a yawning festival. Some of these 9:30 extravaganzas proved worthy of paying $2.50 to see more, while the only merit others had was that they got students out of one or more classes. The premiere assembly, featuring Freedom Jam, won smiles of approval from faculty and pupils alike. Only minutes had passed before the student body shot up onto their feet and began movin' and groovin'. Their assembly was so successful that almost everyone returned that night for their concert. The flip side of the successful Freedom Jam concert seemed to come when Blue Spectrum, an Air Force band, played for the Southern audience. Student response changed from unenthusiastic to nonexistent until the group's lead singer related his Feelings as he gracefully toppled backwards down the stage steps. However, it was this unfortunate mishap that brought the student body back to life quicker than Coast deodorant soap. Soon hands began to clap and feet began to tap with the music, and what looked like a total flop, turned into a memorable occasion. The Miss Southern assembly had all the earmarks for success. Pupils cheered their female classmates as they put themselves through their paces. The crowning touch was the modern jazz dance by Miss Southern, Benita Dollar. The students knew that a real winner had been picked when Miss Dollar retained her composure even when her background Star Wars mural fell down. The traditional visit from the Elon College Jazz band, The Emanons, received its customary acclaim. The recent addition of vocalists added tremendous dimensions to the group and brought more enjoyment to the audience than ever before. Trumpets in the audience and the return of alumni Ronnie Farrington helped to make the assembly one of the best of the year. As the year progressed, assemblies continued on their extreme course. The good ones were terrific and .the bad ones were, well, bad. Assemblies were just another example of how Southern was anything but average. Concentration. Members of the Emanons find that to give a student body what they want, hours of practice and concentration is needed. Heavenly body.

Assemblies 87 The things that people did to keep from doing their homework were unbelievable. Friday proved to be everybod is favorite day, for Friday was the beginnin of t e weekend, and the weekend meant un for those students who had special interests. Basically, our students fell into two catagories, the introverts and the extroverts. The introverts or the individualists leaned toward introspective Eastimes. If one belonged to this group, he might ave enjoyed stamp collecting, sewing, or something more unique, For instance, Shirlene Massey made a long chain out of chewing gum wra pers she had collected. Others, who pre erred something less confining, such as Randi Kemp, Mark Fuller, and Leigh Flynt, spent their time horseback riding. The second group, obviously the largest and more outgoin one, could always be found socializing wit their friends. Hobie and Mark Patterson spent their weekends motocross racing, while over the summer, Debbie Coble went surfing at the beach. Other students liked helping other peo Ie. For instance, Bonnie Skyes taught a blind girl ow to play the guitar and Kim McVe was a Candy Striper at Alamance County Hospita . Obviously, weekends would have been boring without a hobby. Indeed, hobbies Played a big part in the lives of many of Southern 5 students no matter what their special interest was. 88 Hobbies Pinball wizard.

With current trends being faunted, one looked at Southern as the fashion headquarters of the Carolinas. Not only did the students wear excessive material about their necks, tmore commonly called cowl necksi but the teachers came to school decked too The student scene here was usually a pair of initialed glasses, used more for show than sight, alon with hair jewelry, decorative comEs, and super knock-you- off- our-feet outfits. T e old student scene was jeans and a T- shirt, and although some of us downhome folks still cherished this mode of dress, the others felt it was time to step out with class! This was not the only thing that Changed around Southern. There were also new 3'14! . R49 2: s; . Down at the big K orral, i longer just a shoe f0 han outs such as the Barn, and Aladdin's Cast e. There were also the not-so-new hangouts, the Student Forum tbetter known as Max'sl, which practically everyone and their mamas frequented, and the Pied Piger's Gallery. Although not ing new, going to the movies continued to be a popular pastime. Some students flocked to see Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit, and One on One, while others got- off to the music of the Commodores Brick House and Heatwaves exclusive hit, Boogie Nights. The Southern styles were the same, yet different - different because of the new styles and the same because of the uniqueness of the styles. As before, Southern continued its traditional unusualness.

On warm days, adding thirty- seven to the number of chirps in fifteen seconds will about equal the temperature. Crickets all over the Southern Alamance area got Iaryngitis when they had to chirp sixty-six times in fifteen seconds, equaling 1030 F. Temperatures rose to record heights and droughts hit the country. Local farmers suffered many losses and were subjected to the direst consequences. To be dust covered, thirsty, and sweaty at the same time was to be a farmer. Shirley Foster, Danny lsley, and Randy Lewis knew that icky, yet tired, feeling. Shirley had to carry irrigation pipes all summer to provide water for her tobacco and strawberries. Danny tried in vain to plant soybeans only to lose them to the heat, and Randy's beef cattle suf- fered from lack of food and flies. Even though the farmers did not relish the 1000 temperatures, certain sunworshippers did enjoy basking in the glorious rays. The likes of Janice McMasters, Rory Payne, Craig Palmer, and Philip Johnson haunted the pools at Camp Frontier. Other luckier ones, being totally oblivious to the torrid heat and drought, went to Myrtle Beach to enjoy the rippling waves, golden sun, pinball machines, and other extra- curricular activities. However, many were tempted to try rain dancing, firing cannons, and opening umbrellas in the house. Little did anyone know it, but soon their en- treaties would be answered. As winter ap- proached, the record dry spells were broken. Following a deluge of rain, everyone wished for the aridity of summer. When the sun did reap- pear, the populace became ecstatic. However, it immediately started to rain again. Students began to pray for snow and hoped to see rings around the moon. Unfortunately, our neighboring mountaineers received the snow, and we became hysterical. As the winter continued, we thought we had many good chances for snow; instead it rained. Then the weeks of January 9-13 and 16-20 came bringing two ice storms which caused severe power shortages. The second one was more in- tense and blighted out 20,000 homes in the BurIington-Greensboro-Alamance County areas. Trees could not tolerate the extra weight of the ice and, therefore, toppled on already sagging wires. On February 2, Ground Hog's Day, the long awaited snow finally arrived. Stu- dents bombed each other with snowballs until Mr. Robert Stockard, principal announced the impending doom of the snowball brigade. In a society where everyone depended on electricity, the community found it difficult to manage. Because of power shortages, we were forced to do many things we would not nor- mally do. Kerosene lamps, candles, oil heaters, wood heaters, and fireplaces were put into use. The power shortages did however bring about unity between members of the family. The sweltering heat and frozen ice made everyone realize they could survive any ex- tremity of weather. They pulled together and used old-fashioned ingenuity to remain in ex- istence. It was truly a weather disasterland, one which Southerners will always remember. 92 Weather Where's Noah's Ark? Haw River, near Swepsonvillel floods its banks and strands T. C. Allen's cow.

Did they fear reality, or did they deliberately tune out events of importance outside of their little cliques? Whatever the reasons, one was hard-pressed to find students who were willing to acknowledge the na- tion's dilemmas and comment on them. However, there were a few that really cared and when asked they ex- pressed their views freely: I hate that Elvis Presley died, but don't you think people should let him die. eRhonda Cooper.

With that thought in mind, teachers through the years have set out to change one of life's most common birth defects - ignorance. Unfortunately, not all students came to class with a thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to learn. As a result, the iron hand of discipline was often welded to beat in a willingness to achieve wisdom. This educational device was often used with a spirit that kept even the innocent shaking with fright at the sight of the all-powerful Teacher. Things have changed drastically since the time when teacher was synonymous with tyrant. The instructor has gradually emerged as a living, breathing, human being, not quite as omnipotent as before. He no longer had the ability to walk on water, but he could still average a mean grade. The function of the teacher had also changed over the years. They now served as coaches, advisers, chaperones, tutors, and most importantly, as friends. The coach-athlete relationship was one of the most common around AFTER CTHE cmqm quARo CIDEARS OFF By Vicki Winslow Southern. In this situation the teacher became Closer to his students as he shouted words of encouragement and trained the athlete to do his or her best. Coaches Wally Burke, Jeff Butler, Ray Morgan, and David Vaughn all enjoyed the specialness of knowing us as students during school hours and as jocks afterward. Sharing a smelly locker room, being together through Right Guard and after the Right Guard had worn off, being able to recognize the scent of everyone else's socks - such intimacy brought about a feeling of kinship that developed even more as the students realized that coaches occasionally needed showers, too. Many teachers shocked their students by appearing dressed to kill at social functions like the Junior- Senior Prom. A large number of them even danced with their better halves, dates, or with their second period study hall student. The generation gap narrowed drastically as instructors were seen doing the Bus Stop instead of bus duty. Another relationship between student and teacher was when the latter took time off to tutor the former in some difficult subject. Mrs. Sharon Guthrie regularly tutored a student from Western in algebra. This proved to us all that teachers were more than just people who lectured endlessly and passed out demerits. Virtually all of them were ready and willing to help any of us that needed academic coaching. Mr. Sam Fowler often used his planning period to help failing advanced chemistry students, and Mrs. Janette Loy was always prepared to find books for book reports if the library failed to have them. All we had to do was ask, and any teacher here would gladly take time to tutor. Things certainly have changed since the good old days, and our relationships with our teachers have improved from year to year. They've seen us at the best of times - at the prom, during summer vacation; and at the worst of times - during exams, when we're tired, poor, hungry, and yearning to breathe free. It was being together through thick and thin that made us more than simply teacher-student. It made us good friends - even after the Right Guard had worn off. 96 StudenVTeacher Relationships a Vickie Walker gUe with his drafting x g1; Studentfreacher Relationships 97 HATS g-SOD? From the seventh or eighth grade we had all been familiar with the phrase As you slide down the bannister of success, may you never get a splinter in your ca- rear. But as we started high school, the selection of a career became a serious matter, requiring a great deal of thdught. The guidance department at Southern proved especially helpful in supplying information on different vocations and professions, and. Mr. Charles Stanley and Mrs. Nettie McNeill were always available to answer questions on colleges and careers. , Career Day was held at SHS in the early fall. Graham High students participated in talking to representatives from colleges like UNC-Chapel Hill and from the military.

The answer? Teacher's aide! Courses, such as teacher's aide, guidance assistant, and office assistant, seemed to be the answer to many people's problems. Students used the course for multiple purposes, and teachers and office personnel found having an aide often solved their own troubles, too. There were many benefits to being a teacher's aide. Whenever anyone needed an extra course, teacher's aide was never filled up. It also provided an easy elective credit towards graduation. Office assistants and guidance assistants often got the lowdown on news before anyone else did. Also the aide benefited from the situation since he often kIneW more about the subject than those taking the c ass. Teachers enjoyed having aides, especiall around the end of the grading period. These hi school helpers did much of the routine dirty wori tsuch as typing tests, grading papers, eth that left the teachers free to do more important, pertinent work tsuch as drinking' coffee, going to the teachers' lounge, eth. Fellow students often fooked upon teacher's aides as super human.

To the Southern student three things were inevitable: cold lunches, a smelly g m locker, and four years of English. Some college- ound students not only had to tackle their native tongue but also a foreign language for some university requirements. Whenever students entered as freshmen, they were confronted with English I, a course that emphasized grammar instead of literature. Afterthe first year of English, the survivors were faced with three more years of the same plus term papers and, possibly, five-day-Mrs. Loy tests their senior year. For some people alternatives to re ular En Iish courses Iproved infinitely more helpfu and re evant to their anguage deficiencies. Basic reading courses provided fundamentals in comprehension and spelling. It also could be credited as one English course required for graduation. Another English- substitute was Business English. This course drilled in grammar and common-sense English that would elp students in the business world. ' English was not all work and no play, contrary to popular belief. Mrs. lanice Shoffner's class got to recite impromptu speeches on milking cows and the alter e o of a watermelon seed under the guidance of Stu ent teacher Miss Patricia Wright. Mrs. Janette Some things can be copied. Teresa Shaw copies down vocabulary words in Freshman English. Loy took her honors class on a field trip to New York. Mrs. Agnes Morgan used class discussions in such subjects as what color to paint the room to liven up Business English. Althou$h the foreign language requirement of many col eges had been dro ped, enough schools had them to keep the Frenclzl, Spanish, and Latin classes full. Teachers tried to make this requirement as interesting and easy as possible. Mrs. Nancy Wilkinson cooked the annual omelets, put into action a helpful extra-credit plan, and took heed to the Sur Coup signs on test days in an attempt to make French as much fun as possible. Miss Martha Marcom employed records and music to perk up conjugating Spanish verbs. Latin class almost seemed like a trip through ancient Rome as Mrs. Ruth Dismuke combined correct tenses with information about the Roman culture. All three teachers broke out native Christmas carols around the beginning of December. Teachers and students alike pulled together to make at least one of Southern's certainties a little easier. Their efforts made English, reading, Business English, and foreign languages more fun, although not even Lysol could alleviate smelly gym lockers. Academics 103 Really into his work. Don Compton picks up some tricks of the trade from his D.E. instructor, David Green, at Heritage Casket Company, including test runs of their products. Many of the courses offered at Southern were labeled CP, meaning college preparatory. There were other classes, however, that prepared students for life. Such studies as agricultural classes, business courses, and student work experience helped to equip them for the real world. Work oriented classes gave students valuable job experience that not only helped them after graduation but also during high school. The work that they did every half-day helped to formulate an impressive resume that other high school graduates lacked. One immediate fringe benefit was the extra money brought in by the part-time jobs. When students had participated in work programs at Southern, they found that employers were more willing to give them full-time jobs after graduation. The business department at Southern offered a wide variety of courses from elementary typing to accounting. Students who wanted to sharpen secretarial skills could choose from such courses as advanced typing, shorthand, and office machines. For the more executive type, business law and business psychology gave Southerners a head start toward becoming future entrepreneurs. Data processing gave students an insight into computers and their workings. Vocational courses taught their patrons a trade that could be immediately applied in life. Skills such as carpentry, auto mechanics, and electronics got students started on vocations that proved profitable. Many of the students amazed their friends by building furniture, wiring stereos, and souping-up cars. Since good skilled labor was becoming increasingly hard to find, these vocational students also enjoyed a certain sense of security. Some academically inclined students took vocational, business, or career-oriented classes. Many college-bound students found typing and shorthand an indispensible tool for term papers and note taking. Other students felt they needed some practical skill they could rely on if thejob market for their chosen academic major did not appear too promising. Southern's work oriented courses provided students with much more than a place to go first period. They enriched the student, making him a more rounded person with skills he could immediately apply. Although they weren't labeled LP, for many students these classes were truly life preparatory . 104 Academics H :g : m H m ,1 mum Car quest.

Freshmen Rusty McGowan protects his mid-term exam from prying eyes. THE ULTIMATE TE ST 3, Exams. The very word struck terror into the heart of even the mightiest souls. The exam jitters started in early January when the teacher cheerfully announced that the next few days would be used for reviewing for mid-term exams. We hastily scribbled notes of important items that would be on the test. Many became manic depressives when they discovered they had to make an A on the exam to pass the course. Many and sundry hindrances hampered our studying for mid-terms. First of all, the biggest ice storm in history hit on the Thursday night before exams. School was canceled on Friday and as a result we missed our main review day. Even though Mr. Robert Stockard, principal, forewarned us of impending weather conditions and told students to take their books home, many ignored him. As a result, those poor unfortunates caught at home without materials could not study. The ones who did take books home had a different, more original excuse. They had no power and it was difficult to study by candle- light, brush fire, or Coleman lantern. Some students' power still was not on by Sunday, so Monday morning found them unprepared. Disregarding both the valid and invalid excuses, the inevitable came on Monday. Although some did study during the free period, others goofed off and had to hastily cram before class. As everyone discovered, cramming accomplished nothing. Distribution of the test brought forth a stream of blood, sweat, and tears. One usually ended up either turning the test in partially completed or totally finished with half of the answers wrong. Exams had their advantages as well as their disadvantages. They were good because they let the teacher know how a much you remembered and on what you needed to work. They also helped the vindicative teacher zap the students they disliked. Exams provided one with a summary of the semester's work and reminded one of how much he had learned or what they had failed to grasp. They were bad in that they were pure tedium for the teacher to make out and grade. Some teachers resorted to IBM cards; all they had to do was to put them through the computer! Trying to locate misplaced notes was a hassle for the student as well as trying to study for exams at all. In the long run, the bad aspects outweighed the good and nobody liked exams. Fussing, cussing, complaining, and staying out of school did no good because sooner or later you had to take them. But whether you liked them or not, exams were still a part of the high school learning experience. Exa ms Essay 107 Wall hangings.

For most students fine arts meant coloring within the lines. However, some rose above the ranks of the crayola crowd and sought the culture offered in art, music, and drama courses. The world of art came to students under the V guidance of Ms. Glenda McIntyre. Students who ventured into this field found themselves exposed to the multiple facets of art such as macrame, sculpture, and etchings. Music came in two forms for lyric lovers. For those with half-decent voices, choral music provided an excellent opportunity to exercise their vocal chords and brush up on their falsettos. Another musical field was band and jazz ensemble. Band members not onl learned marches and popular tunes during footballlseason but also classical scores during the second half of the ear. The art of drama ept many students in make-up grease and outlandish costumes. Students wearing Grecien comedy-drama masks could be found loose on campus when the class studied ancient drama.

Both Chorus and band had spring concerts, also. Many art students found that works that they did in class could also function as entries in art shows. Expositions and local art shows allowed Southern artists to dis lay their works. Closer to home, students ha their works displayed on the bulletin board in the office. Whether it was marching on the field or sin ing in chorus or acting on stage or even coloring witEin the lines, the fine arts classes gave Southern's campus a mark of distinction. They put a certain amount of culture into our otherwise casual lives and gave variety to our curriculum. Academics 111 Sail with the pilot.

Naw, I ain't buying one of them things! It'll be just like last years: they're using the same pictures. Are they really? I already bought mine 'cause I heard they were gonna go up to $58 each! These were just a few of the many misconceptions about the 1978 SOUTHERNER. It was true, the SOUTHERNER did go back to spring delivery, but the same pictures were not used. The fact that publication costs increased also made the annuals go up, but not to $58! Another fact was that the annual just wasn't selling. Annual staff members gave up class time to explain their plight to the student body by going to English classes. However, staff members got the impression that the students would rather be taking notes on Chaucer while a dragon chewed on their toes. The student council even attempted to get a petition to go back to fall delivery. Nevertheless, their complaints were too late, spring delivery was in the process, and no amount of griping could stop the presses. Amidst the controversy, the annual staff still had to work on the task at hand, that being to produce a yearbook. New staffers quickly picked up the D-6 jargon, including Miss Lillian Sharpe's threats to Get on the ball, when deadlines rolled around. Bonnie Sykes learned that the darkroom was taboo, and Kim Coggins realized that she had to condense her ndvels to short stories. In spite of the numerous interruptions and distractions, the staff did manage to churn out layouts and captions between jokes. Their hard work and persistence combined to turn out another annual in the Southern tradition. A negative reaction.

This comment was evidence of some of the non- sense that went on behind the doors of A-8 over the year, but it also contained a grain of truth. The newspaper didn't seem to be getting the support it needed. As adviser, Mr. Nolan saw himself as a catalyst for creativity, not a slave driver. He felt that working on the staff was a creative experience for the students. Feature page editor Lisa Capps stated that the original goal of the So-Hi News was to publish- a paper every month, but by February 1 only two had been published. The reasons given were that they lacked topics on which to write, and some staff members were not working up to their potential. Quantitatively speaking, the newspapers were few; however, the quality did im- prove. Most importantly, uni- 116 So-Hi News Staff que articles appeared which showed a lot of creativity. As a take-off from WFMY-TV's Channel 2 Newsreel, the staff included a Newsreel A-B arti- cle, which gave us new insights into the plight of the wet toilet paper and the burning paper towels in the boy's bathroom in A Building. Another extr'a- ordinary feature was the inclu- sion of December's Athlete of the Month in February's issue. Regular features included horoscopes that foretold the destiny of the students, and the Senior Spotlight which gave recognition to those seniors who were hard workers, but who had not been given much appreciation. Even though it was not un- common to hear Mr. Nolan say, Be quiet and stop having so much fun, the staff managed to combine the work with the play, while producing a creditable newspaper.

Yes, it was one foot after another, and they were in a straight line, but they didn't shout left, right, left, right. Marching into assemblies had been one of the traditional acts of seniority until this year when it was heard on the intercom that seniors would not march in dueto shortage of time. Amidst gasps of anger were heard cries of defeat. It just wasn't proper - being a senior and not marching in!

Students remained in a state of perturbation, even though teachers tried to comfort them by reminding them that they still sat in the middle section. Even 'so,the senior teachers met and decided that even though it used up a little more time, upperclassmen deserved to march in. So, sure enough, at the next assembly our victorious seniors paraded in. The only problem left to solve was how seniors could march out without injury from stampeding underclassmen.

Let down, ecstatic, melancholy . . . were some of the replies given when seniors were asked how they felt about the step up to seniority. It was said that being a senior meant the end, the beginning, or to some nothing at all. Some seniors appeared long faced and their only goal was to grab their diploma and run. They were usually seen eating alone while their only friend had second lunch. This walking depression signed up for physics and was given ROTC i l, and as if that wasn't enough, he'd never even seen an ROTC 1 class. He made Pomp and Circumstance his favorite tu ne and counted the days until June 3. The carefree senior filled his hours with Frisbee football and dancing during the assemblies. He delighted in his impression of Spiderman and was usually seen climbing the buildings. The major purpose of his high school life was to be different. The senior was different and carried his distinction wherever he went. It was proven that a senior could be spotted a mile away by the look on his face, whether it be studious, introverted, or the happiest person on this good earth. 122 Seniors 1F 1L 11 C- 1H1 TY 1F 1E 1E 1L JI'N .

What could be more degrading and yet so much fun at the same time? Why, in-school suspension! Initiated to deal with our large number of suspensions, in-school suspension was a new method of handling students who supposedly committed crimes against the establishment. Students who became delinquents were forced to remain under the observation of a juvenile counselor. Unfortunately, there were a few seniors who fell victim to this procedure. There were such unlikely ones as the chaplain of the Student Council and a Miss Southern contestant. Some called it a waste of time, but a student was given the chance to catch up on work. Opportunities to smoke were given frequently throughout the day and trips to the teacher's lounge for cokes nearly became a habit until authorities stopped it. Though inner-schoolers were sometimes thought of as delinquents, they were not all naughty. Everyone had his good side. Did in-school suspension really work? Who could be sure whether picking up trash and eating a supervised lunch would put a halt to the wicked ways of a student body. ll i i .

Who was it that cleared hallways in a split second when they were seen coming? What were these strange looking creatures doing and whose power were they under? They were of a species called juniors, and their master of evil was Lovable Larry King. It all started on September 1 when all the juniors were assembled in the cafeteria behind closed doors. Yes, it was time once more for the annual magazine sales. Under constant pressure from their loony leader, Lovable Larry, they were urged to really stampede the halls and use brutal force to sell magazines. It was a hard battle to fight because this year the Middle School kids were selling magazines too. Who can turn down a cute little kid? Not only were they competing against the Middle School kids, but some were even fighting each other to be the first to approach neighbors and friends! The money all went to the same cause, but everybody wanted a big prize! Who wouldn't want a multi-purpose sponge poster of Donnie Osmond to hang in the bathroom, to throw darts at, or even to cut in eighths to wash a car with? Along with magazines, juniors sold records, books, and even Spider Man comics lfor the little kid in everyonei. The magazines were available in limited categories; unless a person was French, Spanish, or Catholic, they were stuck somewhere between Humpty Dumpty and CB Life. There were magazines for horses, homes, gardens, fields and streams. The pressure was really on the juniors this year. In the past, . sophomore classes had always had a bake sale, car wash, etc. Progress was really slow, but the juniors really came through in the end. After the usual prolonged deadlines, they not only reached their initial goal but surpassed their super goal of $6,500. The last tally of money turned in came to $6,647. Prize-A-Rama.

All juniors who are interested in ordering class rings through the school, please report to the cafeteria tomorrow with your $20 deposit. As this announcement rang through the halls of Southern, all the juniors rejoiced. This was a ready- made excuse for missing a big English test! Though very few juniors had any intention of ordering rings from the school, everyone went to the meeting. They listened patiently to the salesman's speech; then he passed around the rings for inspection. The poor man kept a watchful eye on his precious rings as they went from hand to hand, and he gave a sigh of relief when he finally got them all back. When Ms. Lillian Sharpe asked for deposits, everyone decided that they had accomplished their initial mission of getting out of class, and now it was time to make their exit! One by one they slowly edged out the door while the salesman looked on in dismay. Although a few juniors ordered from the school, most decided to check out the better selection at Frank's or the Jewel Box. 136 Juniors The pressure is on, as Amy Sharpe finds rings pushed in her face by an over anxious salesman. y ,f k 'Struttin' in style.

Soon students were seen everywhere bagging groceries and scooping ice cream. They wheeled and dealed with parents in order to obtain a loan. This was to be paid back, slowly but surely from the small wages they received. True, the cars they bought were not 'vettes or TR-7's; in fact, they usually did well to run. However, a car was a car, and that was all that mattered. g sandra Perry Jenny Petty 05 vid Pr uitt Tommy Purcell Susan PurVis Iris Ralston NancyRaynor :gRayReid : wdanethObP-Itson M'ar k RObbrfsdn Jackie Rogers Jimmy Rogers Robin Rogers .

It was the scariest thing since the Bogie Man, and it was called the TERM PAPER. The juniors had repeatedly heard the grisly tales of upperclassmen who neglected to do their research papers correctly and were sentenced to remain in high school forever. However, it did not sound so badly then, for then it was somebody else's neck on the line; now it was their own! The terror started around the end of November when all the English teachers came to school wearing evil grins and issued the dreaded ultimatum. The whole life-style of the juniors was changed from that point on. Conversation was centered around how to do a bibliography, how to write a footnote, and how not to use the verb to be. For the first time in their lives, juniors actually worked when they went to the library. Knock-down, drag-out fights could be started merely over the last copy of Tom Sawyer in North Carolina, and the normally over- energetic juniors soon acquired 'lrlENSlKON bagging eyes and poor health, not to mention severe cases of writer's cramp! After a final rush of frenzied activity, the completed papers were handed in, and juniors all gave one huge sigh of relief. The term papers were finished. They would never be heard of again, at least not until next year around the end of November, when all of the English teachers would come to school wearing evil grins . . .

Mentions of next year and llwhen we're seniors dominated the conversation. Activities were directed toward accomplishing long-awaited goals and all thoughts were of the senior year. It was next year or never. The brains held a battle of the grades in order to be one of the top ten seniors. For them a 91 in English could be fatal; the other poor souls were just hoping to pass! Girls began takingydancing and singing lessons, preparing for the day they might be crowned Miss S.H.S. Speculations were made as to who would be in the Homecoming Court, who would be head cheerleader, and who would be elected student body president. Athletes worked year 'round improving their abilities in order to win recognition in their sports. Both athletes and scholars worked for a possible scholarhip. But not all the juniors were striving for success, however. Some took a lot of courses this year to insure that next year they could do nothing and still graduate. Many were just passing time until their school days were over. Whatever the motivation, the juniors could not have tried any harder to achieve their ends. They wanted to enjo their short year of glory be ore being pushed around by their bosses or being lowered once more to the ranks of freshmen in college. And a happy New Year!

Freshmen felt the excitement of being in high school and experiencing new thingshjuniors felt the thrill of selling magazines and going to their first prom, and seniors looked forward to graduation. Where did that leave sophomores? Most sophomores could be spotted in a crowd right away; they were the ones with puzzled looks on their faces. The sophomores were through being rookies, but not yet a part of the scheme and uncertain whether they wanted to become a part or not. Like all of the sophomores before them, they usually kept their reputation of picking on freshmen, since they themselves were no longer considered to be punks. In spite of the relief of picking on freshmen, they still looked forward to bigger and better things as juniors. Sophomores 145 DanreIl CIS'SoSVISISsSEIShSSIS SancSIra Crutchfield Wade CurtiS?

The question that literally blew everyone's mind was choosing the classes for the year. Should I take World Religion or Humanities, Ecology, or Oceanography? Sophomore students really took advantage of the semester courses. There was a wide variety of selections and everyone went around finding out who the teachers of each class would be. At the same time, sophomores would take a survey from each and every upperclassman that they could find and decided which classes would be easiest to pass. Once this was accomplished they preceded to fix their schedules so that they could make the A honor roll. t Pop fantastic, are really Sophomores 149 150 Sophomore ; Keithy Strickland Stave Rich Dale Riley Robin Rogers Rose Rogers Tanya Ross Michelle Rudd Bernard Russell Sherri Saunders JeffSchronce Teresa Scott An n Shebester Brandy SHelton Randy Shelton Keyin Shields MahaliaShoffnen Alan Shore A Charles Shore WfE.

It was called dating. The young Casanova usually asked his dream date to a football or basketball game or perhaps to a concert or dance. Unfortunately, some girls weren't quite so lucky. Some were never asked for a date, and ifthey did get to go out they were usually given the third-degree by their parents. They were forced to answer all kinds of questions and give every detail of everything that happened. The girls weren't the only ones with problems. Some of the boys did not have their licenses which meant that they could not enjoy the luxury of being alone with their dates. Most were forced to double date or even worse not date at all. However, for those sophomores who were lucky enough to enjoy dating, it became a new and exciting experience for both male and female. u. '.

This saying applied to many freshmen this year, but maybe not as many as in years before. The freshmen this year were luckier, they had a guided tour before their first day. Still, their memories were not that good and when August 29 rolled around - boy, were they surprised. As usual, when they got lost, the upperclassmen told them to follow the hall to their right and get on the first elevator on their left and this would take them to the chorus room. They would come back scratching their head and muttering to themselves while the sophomore, junior, or senior would get a good laugh. Some of them were lucky though - they had friends here that would show them the way to E Building. When this happened they would pull out their trusty map of the school and sit on the steps until they figured out exactly where they were. This usually wouldn't help either and it would result in their being late for class. For the first week whole classes of freshmen would not appear until fifteen minutes before the period was over. Soon, this got to be old stuff and freshmen found out about demerits a lot faster than they could find classes. Where in the heck is the gym?

However, the novelty of the whole thing soon wore off, particularly when the abrupt discovery was made that your locker had been chalked. To some, this extra-curricular activity was annoying, but to others it became a sort of sport. For a while it seemed many culprits concentrated on finding out their friends' tand enemies'i locker numbers and combinations so they could chalk it or put the lock upside down and backwards. After so long, many developed a tough toe from kicking their lockers open - a toe Coach Wally Burke could have put to good use. Also, teachers started to stare unbelievingly when told for the 721st time that a student couldn't get his English book because his locker was chalked. Some other things that happened to freshmen were really strange. Some forgot their combination and had to ask their homeroom teacher while others would find a lock on their locker that didn't belong to them. This would result in a trip to the office with the serial number to try and find out the combination. This epidemic of stolen locks and chalked lockers lasted well into the year, but it eventually wore off as freshmen became accustomed to good ol' Southern life. M 'thr- 4:7 Opening Kick-Off.'

Freshmen's stomachs begin to growl while they patient1y wait in line for their lunch. The first day of school, freshmen poured into the Iunchroom ready to eat a hot, delicious lunch only to find that it took thirty minutes of waiting in line to get a cold tray and often two minutes before the last bell rang. The freshmen looked at each other in total exasperation, and some were so flabbergasted that they skipped lunch altogether or brought a dry sandwich and choked it down without a drink. Of course, you might enjoy a leisurely eaten lunch by sneakily hiding in the cafeteria 'til lunch, or carrying a weapon in line to acquire a position near the front, or dashing in through the middle lane before the teacher grabbed you, or have friends that would let you break. After a few broken arms, cold lunches, and demerits for being late to class the freshmen wised up and learned the mystical secret - if one waited until the last 10 or 15 minutes of lunch to enter the cafeteria the lines had shortened and one could acquire a lunch with a minimum amount of waiting.

These privileged members of the student body participated in P.E. three days a week and took Health on the other twotdays. They suffered through freezing locker rooms, chilling showers, rampaging thieves, being late for class, and enduring Mr. Jeff Butler's laugh. Health's drab wal ls, freezing locker rooms, chilling showers, and broken seats offered little more. Along with the bad side of everything there is unfortunately a good side, and P.E. was no exception. Many freshmen felt that P.E. iicky, as it was at timesi was better than going to class, and often against their wills, they began to get in shape and actually learned something. Whenever a student really despised P.E., he could be comforted by the fact that this hopefully would be his last year. Run 'dem laps.

Reginald Trussell AFJ ROTC Score one for Women's Liberation, Or was it Men's Liberation? Anyway, in the name of equal rights the women teachers were appointed to new positions in this male dominated society. They were given the marvelous privilege of countin the buses and marking their arriva s. Previousl this was an honor reserved for maie faculty members only. There was a special feeling of accomplishment that accompanied the dirt and dust of the bus arkin lot. After all, it was a big step orwar for the patrons of women's rights - almost as big a step as Billie Jean King's win over Bobby Riggs. BUS DUTY 160 Faculty . N m . Mr. Jerry McMasters ll Social Studies 1' m5 Mr.RobertStockard V ' ' Principal Hi Facultv 161 W; .k. 1 , Mr. Bob Devine Band There was much more to teaching than just calling down students and making tests. Our faithful teachers also had the tedious job of lunchroo duty, guarding the doors and making ure that every student was in order. They marched like drill sergeants, up fiand down the lines of students, protecting those victims of breakers and pushers. A person in the lunchroom may have heard comments such as: Hey, teacher, this dude brokelf' or Look, fool, get to the back of the line! . After playing lunchroom M.P. the teachers had to gulp down a cold, tasteless lunch in record time, which- usually resulted in an acute case of indigestion, remedied by a bottle of Pepto Bismol. Yes, teachers led hectic lives and many people didn't realize the trouble they went through to keep students safe from starvation. a ha. 5: a m :5 ii k. E: e E: Q 1. Faculty 163 TREATING At the end of a school day teachers often felt used, abused, and exhausted. They had to suffer through nerve- racking experiences like explosions when someone hid a match in an eraser. What did teachers do to deserve this abuse? What warrented a rubber snake in an unsuspecting teacheris desk? Most students thought teachers had it easy. After all, they were on the opposite side of every test, and they did have their very own lou nge with a drink machine. However, teaching could be monotonous, especially when the same old things happened every day. It TEACHERS WITH TRICKS seemed that someone in every class, every day forgot his pencil, ink pen, paper, notebook, or textbook. Noisy students, paper fights, and personal bladder problems were other disrupting things that fouled up their day. Taking into consideration all of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into the job of being an instructor, it seemed thoughtless for students to persist in their peskiness. Sometimes it seemed as if all of their extra work on lessons and the time donated to extra- curricular activities amounted to nothing. ' 1 Th :lllli-i :' s.

For instance, 2:10 reports were a real pain in the neck for most teachers and the very phrase struck irritation in their hearts; The notorious 2:10 report was actually not a secret-society type of document. It was simply a list of the people who had been absent in the teacher's classes that day and the periods they were out. The familiar yellow sheets appeared every afternoon without fail and the instructor was obliged to stop whatever he or she was doing and fill it out, or risk being interrupted by the Voice from the Office. Rather than try to buck the system most teachers just said 10-4 to the necessity of the 2:10 report. . a a, .

Clubs provided an outlet for pent-up energy that students built up during classes. They also gave unathletically-inclined people a chance to become involved in school without running circles on a track or being tackled by a 300 pound defensive end. They also allowed students to display secret talents that otherwise would have remained hidden like a light under a bushel. Since most of the students spent the majority of their day immobile at their desks, they needed a place to use up their stored energy. Civinettes rid themselves of reserved power and a few pounds when they challenged their sister club at Graham to a game of powder-puff football. The Jr. Engineers, Civitans, and Latin Club broke out in a sweat around Homecoming when they brought out the hammers and nails to give birth to floats. Many clubs allowed much student involvement without the bumps and bruises of sports. The National Honor Society represented Southern in civil work while they planned an Easter Egg Hunt for foster children. The Future Teachers ofAmerica gave a reception for the present teachers of Southern High School. The Jr. Engineers traveled far and wide on many school-related field trips such as N. C. State's Open House. Clubs also allowed students to show their various and diverse talents. The Belles and Sons held a talent- show in a closed session to prove that they could do something besides sing. The Latin and French Clubs showed their culinary talents at their respective banquets. The Drama Club revealed their good taste in talent by attending several dramatic performances such as Hamlet. All in all, clubs were the elixir of life for the main throb of Southern students. They healed as many hurts as Ben-Gay and Band-Aid combined. Truly clubs provided whatever was needed for whoever needed it. isgm'uibg, i . ,, ' Clubs and Organizatio ns 187 ROUSTABOUTS No circus would be complete entertainment, junk food, and without the vendors who provided general good times that made the popcorn, peanuts, and life seem like a non-stop side cotton candy.

C. 272I5 GOLOPHON The 1978 SOUTHERNER was printed by Delmar Printing Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, who published the 700 copies of the 216 page yearbook. Mr. Mike Ward was our sales representative and Mrs. Sybil Parrish served as plant representative. Lau ra Arwood, a SHS Senior and staff mem- ber, designed the lithograph cover, using 48 point Delores Marie letters. The end sheets are tinted half tones using a percentage of process yellow. Adding to the unity of the book the body type is 10 point Optima throughout and the captions in 8 point Op- tima. Essays are 12 point Optima with headlines set by the staff in 48 point Parsons Bold. The Staff chose 36 point Futura Black and Atrax for the class section, 48 point Aesthetic for the Academics section, 96 point Craw Clarendon Cond. for the division pages, and 48 point Playbill for the Title Page, In- troduction, and Closing. All headlines were hand set by the staff and the paper stock is Gloss Enamel. Our special thanks to Amy Johnson, Craig Knapp, and Lindy Stout for assisting us in writing copy. Max Ward - Delmar Studios in Burlington, N.C., was responsible for the underclassmen portraits and some candids. Vacaro Senior Portraits, Chesapeake, Va., made the Senior portraits. Candids by Mike Mayse of Burlington supplemented the photographs made by staff photographers, Leigh Flynt, Mark Fuller, and other staff members, other sports candids from Burlington Dain-Times News, some weather pictures from Alamance- Orange Enterprise. The Staff received inspiration from the art directors of Better Homes and Gardens, Friends, Panorama, Vogue, and other magazines to give the 1978 SOUTHERNER a completely different look. The SOUTHERENER is a member of Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association and received the Medalist Award in last year's competition with 944 points of a possible 1,000. The 1977 SOUTHERNER was featured in the April 1978 edition of the CSPA Bulletin.

High Wire- Maintaining our irrepressible circus spirit, we kept our 1111 red noses stuck on and our wide smiles ever-ready. In spite of all the different acts we had perfected, we were held together by a common interest-Southern High. Southern was three-rings worth of excitement. Working on Homecoming, planning the prom, organizing car washes, freezing for the Heart Fund-each event was a vitat part of our year. New ping-pong tables in the lobby saw the beginning of the ROTC table- tennis tournament, another positive aspect of our 1977-78 school year. The FeHowship of Christian Athletes came to Southern for the first time, a club which offered membership to everyone from frisbee freaks to baseball buffs.

As a result of a recent snow - and a spare moment, Frosty the snow- man sits in Advanced Chemistry cla r fared too badly in the long run. Yes, Southern had its serious side and its circus side. We had our ups, our downs, our shots out of cannons, and our falls off the high-wire into the net. Individual triumphs and failures made our lives as crazily unpredictable as t. . . well, as a circus, and the place that made it all happen was Southern High School-definitely the Greatest School on Earth. 216 Closing ON EARTH IIH n o H u 5 THE GREATEST
