We are the school youth of today— more than 32,000,000 of us. We are a time capsule within ourselves— We are the past, the present, and the future. We are the past... We are believing and living the ideals for which our predecessors fought, lived, and died... We are the embodiment of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Lincoln. We are the adventurous spirit and pioneering blood of Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and others who carved : of eG our land from a wilderness. We are the creative mind of Eli Whitney, Robert Fulton, the Wright brothers, Bell, and Edison. Where we are free to learn, page 5 We are symbolic of Stephen Foster, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin...and the Barrymores. We are the sentiments of Longfellow, Mark Twain, and Will Rogers. We are the sportsmanship of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, the World Series. We are all this—and more. We are the present... In our time—Pearl Harbor, Korea, the Atomic Bomb, and...the H-Bomb! We have witnessed the breaking of the water, sound, and heat barriers. We have seen rockets, jet planes, cinerama, T.V., and plans for space satellites and trips to the moon. : We are entangled in the problems of automation and eS ‘ . the tensions ofsa disordered world. Where we recognize the worth of all individuals, page 1 = Ws N But we have seen men striving for peace, for a United Nations. | ‘ex Where We practice the rules of good sportsmanship, page 45 WY ys fais RARER: ... America WE ARE THE FUTURE... We are the leaders of tomorrow. We will build tomorrow’s buildings and bridges. We are the designers of tomorrow’s politics. We are the farmers, ministers, musicians, artists, and the teachers of tomorrow’s youth. We are the perpetuation of the religious faith that founded America. We are the homes of tomorrow. We are the hope for peace. We are Southern High School... more than 1170 of us. It is here that we have learned to believe in America. AND WHAT DO WE. BELIEVE? € believe in the freedom to learn, to grow mentally, under the guidance and instruction of those whe have taught us and have been patient with us in our groping after knowledge. We believe in the right to choose our own friends and companions and to recagnize the worth of all individuals. We believe in the opportunity to. develop sound bodies, to practice good health habits, and™to learn the rules of good sportsmanship. Where we may develop our abilities, page 55 $ yt iia os, We believe in freedom to make the best use of our time, to develop our abilities and interests, to appreciate the contributions which others have made to our culture, and to accept our responsibility for enriching the society in which we live. We believe in the right to choose our vocation, to prepare ourselves to take our places in the world of work, and to understand how our work can add to our own happi- ness and also to the happiness of others. This is what we at Southern believe... And we are part of America. As we turn the pages of this 1956 Highlander, may fond memories be constant reminders of that which we believe. Where we are free to choose our vocation, page 65 Administration MR. CARL H. EVERLY Vice-Principal MR. W. KENNETH JOHNS Principal Mr. Johns came to Southern this year from Bel Air High School. In the short time that he has been here he has shown a sincere interest in the work and activities of the student body. We feel that Mr. Johns has helped us to become better citizens of Southern High School and has en- couraged us to accept our responsibilities as American citizens. GARRETT COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD MR.

Tom Turney COMMERCIAL General Business, Stenographic Cutting up turkeys for F.F.A. Banquet ACADEMIC VOCATIONAL Home Economics GENERAL Shop THE CLASSROOMS AND LABORATORIES Mr. W. Kenneth Johns, principal, has stated the following purposes for the curricula in our school: The program of studies at Southern High School is one that is geared to serve the edu- cational needs of all boys and girls of high school age in the community. It is a program that has been developed over a period of time and is the result of much study and counsel. The aim of the school is to make available a program of education difficult enough to provide a real challenge for every one of its 1150 students, no matter what his interests are. The junior high school grades provide a general educational program needed by alll, no matter what the future may be. Upon the completion of his junior high school work, the student is ready for the various areas of specialization offered in the senior high school. After testing, guidance, and parental advice, senior high students may specialize in college preparatory courses, commercial edu- cation, agriculture, home economics, or a gen- eral program. Thus, with such a variety of opportunities, an adequately equipped school plant, and an excellent teaching staff, students at Southern have every chance to succeed as they face the realities of tomorrow. 4 a a = ere Football On these pages are pictured the Senior members of the football team.

Gridiron Southern’s Highlanders of 1955 went down in the record as the first Red and White team to play all Varsity opponents. The High- landers had a-rugged schedule of 8 games and, this being only their second season of organized football, they ended with a re- spectable record of three wins, four losses and one tie. The initial game was played with the Petersburg Vikings before the entire student body and, when the smoke had cleared, the scoreboard read Southern 6, Petersburg 6. Fred Colaw ran 3] yards for the Red and White’s lone score. The next week the DeMoss-coached eleven lost a hard fought game to the Moorefield Yellow Jackets on the home field by the score of 21-13. Highlander touchdowns were scored by virtue of a Toby Colaw to Fred Colaw pass play, and Skip Sower’s scamper from the eighteen. West Virginia School for the Deaf proved to be no match for the Southerners as the DeMossmen won their initial victory of the season, 40-13, on the Romney gridiron. Tallies were scored by Fred Colaw, Charlie Mason, Skip Sowers, Bob Glaze, Bill Deckman, and Toby Colaw. Playing against the single wing for the first time this year, the Highlanders went down to their second defeat at the hands of the Beall High Mountai neers 27-6 on the local field.

The Highlanders showeW much improvement in beating highly touted St. Francis of Morgantown, 13-6. Danny Garrett hauled in Toby Colaw’s pass in the end zone for Southern’s first score and Bill Deckman plowed over from the four to wrap up the game, which was played on the home field. The game was highlighted by the rugged line play of our team. The Red and White traveled to Kingwood looking for their third win of the season but ended up on the short end of an 18-6 score. A 47 yard pass play from Toby to Fred accounted for the only score. The Highlanders couldn’t stop Jim Webb and Co. as the Keyser eleven, P.V.C. champs, defeated Southern 32-12, on the W. Va. field. The touchdowns both came from passes from Fred Colaw to Toby Colaw. In the season’s finale Southern ran over Terra Alta 26-0, for their third victory. Touthdowns were scored by Dan Garrett, Bill Deckman, Charles Mason, ana Toby Colaw. Special recognition should be given to Fred Colaw, who was chosen for the first team on the Potomac Valley Conference squaa, and George Lee, guard, who was picked for the second team. Chalk Talk . ..
