Though a_ huge number of visitors pass through these doors, nobody realizes the hassle of everyday school life or all the different changes that students adapt to throughout the year. Since students are becoming more experienced, the changes seem to get better instead of worse. That is how it always seems to be; the good things get better. Students go through changes in school.

Some people benefit from winter since they put so much money into skiing and snowmobile racing. There are also small changes that everyone has to get used to. In the fall, we gain an hour of sleep. The sun rises earlier while evening comes quicker. In the spring, we lose an hour of sleep, and it is still dark when everyone gets up. At least it stays lighter longer, this way people can enjoy the out- doors more. People have more time to mow their lawns, rake their leaves, and wash their cars. If everyone will take time to sit down and realize all the dif- ferent changes he or she goes through, the result will be amazement. Why not slow down and enjoy the precious time you have left. It is guaranteed that it will go faster than we expect. 4° Opening During the drum solo, Chip Rowan concentrates toward putting on one heck of a show.

A Good Thing Gets Better As the alarm clock rings on August 27, 1982, students rise with mixed emotions, wonder- ing what the first day back to school will be like. Apprehen- sion, excitement, and fear first come to mind. Freshmen are fearful of being in a school jammed with unfamiliar faces, or simply getting lost sends shivers down their spine. Seniors are full of excitement and anticipation when they finally realize that this is their last year. Still amazed that summer vacation has passed by so quickly, they start to count down their 180 days. Students wonder who their new teachers will be, how dif- ficult the classes will seem, and if a larger load of homework AAn overall view of the Northern ver- sus Southern game may appear to be a little Rambunctions. will be given. They still feel relief no matter what age they are. Freshmen are glad to be out of the middle school and in- to a larger environment without open class rooms. Sophomores and juniors have already experienced high school life so they walk around with their heads held high. Then come the seniors — so excited they are walking on air, bragging about how it being their last year. Still, several acknowledge the fact that things are not going to be the same, but they have made up their minds, and like all the rest, they are determined to make the good things get better. Opening «7 8 Division Page rire a STUDED LIFE Being called a student did not mean that all you ever had time to do was study. In fact, students had quite a bit of free time for activities after school and on weekends. For teenagers, living in a small town had its disadvantages when it came time for finding activities to keep them busy. After school, some students raced to the nearest video game to see if they could beat their previously high score. Others participated in sports, weight lifting, or cheerleading after school. Many at their homes that needed to be done. However, most of the females went home as fast as they could to watch their favorite soap opera. For many, it was General Hospital. The girls needed to know what was going to happen to Luke at the mountains, if the marriage between Susan and Scottie would last, and if Noah would pick Tiffany or Bobbie. Students had time for all these activities and more. They knew that after all the school work was finished, Better things were to come. students had jobs to attend to or yard work STUDENT Autumn Glory Football Homecoming Basketball Homecoming Winterfest Sr. Class Play Jr. Class Play “Taking time out to help the coaches, Lynn Welch concentrates on putting the basketball players names on the scoreboard.

The banners were hung By the poles with care, In hope that Autumn Glory fun Would soon be there. Plans were made ready For the annual grand parade, With visions of cotton candy in the youngsters’ heads, They knew it would Soon be made. Garrett County’s fifteenth annual Autumn Glory Festival was held October seventh through the tenth of 1982. Many exciting events came with Autumn Glory this year such as: the crowning of the Autumn Glory Queen, Lisa Savage; Oktoberfest; Majorette and Twirling perfor- mances; Fireman's parade; and the Five String AA beautiful float from the First National Bank of Oakland. 10 Autumn Glory Banjo Championship. But who could forget the Grand Feature parade? The weather stayed nice for Autumn Glory fun this year. But one change really made a dif- ference: the parade was much shorter than usual. It appeared that the Forest Festival in Elkins, W.Va., the same weekend pulled many bands from the Autumn Glory parade. When asked what she thought of the parade this year, junior Nancy Paugh said, “‘It wasn’t as exciting this year as it was last year because the parade wasn’t as long. The weather was nice and there was a lot of Autumn Glory spirit.”’ “| missed the Autumn Glory parade for two years and was glad to see it again,” said Mr. Doug Buckley. ‘‘What amazed me was all of the hustle and bustle around the Big Tee along Route 219 prior to the parade — bands, floats, marching units, etc., everywhere.

The annual Homecomi ng parade was held on October 14, 1982, on the streets of downtown Oakland. Junior, Cathy Junkins said, ‘It was very nice, but it didn’t last too long.”’ Various floats were presented in the parade. Among these was the Future Farmers of America float which won first place in the club division. Mrs. Janet Boggess, advisor of F.F.A., said the cost of the float was approximate- ly forty dollars for the tissue paper, chicken wire, and the glue. The chicken wire can be used over again. F.F.A. chapter officers designed the float, and all the chapter members worked on it together. While in class, the students worked on the float everyday for about a week and a half. Terry Morgan, a junior, together during the Homecoming parade. commented, ‘Working on the float was fun. | was very surprised, but excited that we won first place.’’ For winning first place, F.F.A. received twenty-five dollars. Another event that was held for Homecoming was hall decorating. The Junior class won first place in decorating the halls, and also received twenty-five dollars. The freshmen class came in se- cond. The halls were judged by the varsity cheerleaders. Babette Riggleman said, ‘‘Advisors Mr. Lowell Leitzel and Mrs. Joan Lambert were a big help.’’ Babette also added, ‘‘The juniors’ enthusiasm was really great during the week of Homecoming, and that spirit helped the football team to be victorious in the game against Valley.” AThe members of the Southern Highlander Band march Homecoming e 17 In With a Bounce The fourth annual Basketball Homecom- ing came in with a bounce this year. The dance was held on Saturday, Januray 29, 1983 in the cafeteria. This is the fifth year for the dance but due to the walk-out last year, it was can- celed along with a number of other events. Because of this, the spirit of this year’s dance was low. Due to the fact that last year the Homecoming dance was not held, it possibly put a damper on the spirit of this year's dance. Attendance was poor even though the students complain that there were not enough dances. The students who com- plained did not show up to the dance anyway. Sheila Dove, who did not go to the dance, said, ‘I just couldn’t get into the spirit of it because I have no pride for my school.” Kim Tephabock said, “Being chosen to be on this year’s Homecoming court was a great honor. When | found out I was on court, | couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that out of the entire senior class, | would be chosen as one of the six girls who were on court. There weren't very many couples at the dance; however, through the help of friends, | enjoyed myself. The Student Council and National Honor Socie- ty did an excellent job decorating for the dance and everything seemed to be organized well.

Winterfest was held at the Wisp Ski Area for the tenth consecutive year. It took place on March 25 through March 27. Kim Habel, a junior at Northern High School, was crowned Winterfest queen. Winterfest is usually a very busy weekend filled with ski racing, wrist wrestl- ing, snowmobile jumping, fun races, and a hill climb. This year most of these ac- tivities had to be canceled because of the lack of snow. Garrett County did not have as much snow as they usually had in the past few years. The Wisp had suffered greatly by the lack of snow during ski season and by the time Winterfest was here, there was not much choice but to cancel most of the activities. Southern’s Race Team, coached by Mr. William Freyman, went to the Scholastic Ski Race. They were the only team to show up, so they ended up racing against themselves. Mark Welch had the best time of the day. Winterfext X was sponsored by the Deep Creek Lions Foundation and co- sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, The Wisp Ski Resort and the Village Inn. All the pro- ceeds from Winterfest went towards com- munity projects, local charities, and the Lion’s Blind Skiers program.

Winterfest 21 The Normandic Invasion At Southern This year Southern was _ fortunate enough to be involved in a foreign ex- change program. Six students, along with Mr. Lowell Leitzel, traveled to France for three weeks. That was the first part of the exchange program. The second part was sixteen French students, along with two advisors, invaded Garrett County. Chris Bock said, ‘Il was _ fortunate enough to travel to France and host two students. Being able to experience comes the friendship and closeness that only the people involved can_ understand. Sometimes | don’t fully understand.” In some way the French students touch- ed every single student at Southern. For those involved, it was a once in a life-time thing. For those who grew real close, there was a very good feeling every time they remembered them. This made _ saying goodbye real hard, but none the less, April 15, they returned to France. ALaughing at some of their experiences at Southern are Xavier, Mrs. Lippi and Patrick. 22 ¢ French Exchange VAfter a school day at Southern, Patrick, Renauld and Therry discuss their experiences with Mrs. Lippi.

Germans Gain First-Hand Experience The arrival of fourteen German ex- change students brought a change to Southern High School. Students and teachers alike were surprised to learn that these students spoke English very well. Mr. Douglas Buckley, World History teacher, commented, ‘I thought the one | was associated with was very polite and knew English rather well compared to the French students.”’ Junior Cathy Junkins stated, “‘I really liked the German students and became friends with a few of them. Hopefully the German friends I’ve made, I'll be able to stay in touch with. They brought new ideas to us and hopefully were able to take new ideas of American life back with them!”’ While the German Students were here, they were able to participate in many dif- ferent activities. A welcome banquet was held for them, they had a trip to Washington D.C., visited Mettiki Coal Cor- poration, and a number of other things with their host family. German teacher, Mrs. Joan Lambert, was quoted as saying, ‘| enjoyed every minute of the exchange program, in- cluding the months of planning that preceeded it. We learned so much from the German students about their language and customs, but most of all we made true friends. “The best way to learn is through ac- tual, rather than second-hand experience. Since I am not a native German, | believe the exchange program with Germany of- fers students the best possible education in German language and culture. It gives the students a real reason for learning Ger- man, as they continue their communica- tion and friendships with the German students in theyears to come.”’ German Exchange ¢ 23 P Carol Maffett and Sheila Dove pick flowers for ex- hibition at the Fair. ¥V One of the many customers served at the Oakland Rotary Club booth is apparent ly satisfied with her food.

Thousands of people showed up for the 26th Annual Garrett Coun- ty Fair which was held during the week of August 9th. Nearly everyone who attends Southern was a participant. Sheila Dove, a junior, stated, ‘'‘l was really excited about going to the fair this year because of the many events that take place every year. | also get to see my friends from other schools. Another thing | enjoyed seeing was the demolition derby, because | watched my boyfriend lose. | really enjoyed myself and hope that future fairs will be as fun as this one was!” Each participant who entered the demoli- tion derby had to follow a number of safety rules and regulations. Rick Bittinger, senior, said, ‘‘l really liked driving in the demolition derby. It was a very exciting experience for me. It was something | had wanted to do for a long time.”’ The Garrett County Farm Queen for 1982 was Northern’s Cristy Fratz. Runner-up was Southern’s Karen Hamilton. Other con- testants were Lisa Evans, Carol Jones, and Rhonda Lichty. Lisa Evans, a junior, said, ‘‘The Farm Queen contest was a great experience for me because you got to work with people from dif- ferent places and parts of the country. | never really felt bad not being chosen because | had such a fun time doing it.” Along with all the other events that took place at the fair, many exhibits were on show. These exhibits were entered by various people. Verne Lein- inger, a junior, won many ribbons at the fair this year. Verne said, ‘‘] have many exhibits in the fair. My largest exhibits were sheep fitting and showing. | also had many indoor exhibits and par- ticipated in many other activities such as the tractor driving contest.” Cathy Junkins said, ‘Il had a lot of fun, especially selling french fries for the Oakland Rotary Club. It seemed that everyone had a wonderful time at the fair.” Feature e 25 How Much Was It? A After answering the door numerous times, Mary Harrison finds time to do her other odd jobs.

Whether you liked the play or did not like it does not matter, but you would have had to agree that it was very pro- fessional looking. There are many things that are need- ed to put on a play and to make it look good, but these things do not come cheap. First of all, Mr. Barry Shaffer had to pick out a play that he thought was suitable for a high school cast and au- dience. When he did this, he had to order enough books to supply the cast. These books were at a cost of $85.00. The next thing was the set, which is a very important part of the play. Many of the props that were used were donated by the parents, play members, and teachers. Some had to be bought at various stores around Oakland such as; Hecks, Proudfoots, and Marvin’s. Then there were the traditional T- shirts that the cast and crew purchased to show that they were part of the play. The bill for the shirts was $201.50. Play member Jeannie Schmidt said, “The play wasn’t very expensive for me. The only thing | spent money on was gas and meals.”’ The final cost of the play was $1408.35. This price did not include all the pizza they managed to get in after practice and between performances. 4 Right before a performance seems to be a good time for Dave Scott to catch up on some of his lines. V ‘Well, looks like we-can all have fun now that pops is put away,” exclaims Sharon Friend to Jeannie Schmidt, Michelle Hesen, and Dave Scott. 4 Senior Class Play cast.

For those of you who saw the Senior Class Play, the answer to this question was easy. It was the cast of characters from the play Rest Assured. Mr. Barry Shaffer, director, stated, ‘Selecting a cast who will work together to make a play their best was no easy task. The quality of all the per- formers of this play indicated that this was achieved. Despite inconveniences and prior committments, the students that were involved in Rest Assured have shown the determination, devotion, and responsibility associated with true pro- fessionals. They have given up many hours of their time in order to ex- the feelings of great ac- perience complishment and pride.” @ After having bad dreams, Larry Miller is awakened by Mari Harrison. 4 The smart-aleck lawyer and secretary were por- A Having a little time between shows provides Jean- trayed by Leonard Custer and Chery] Arnott. nie Schmidt and Lisa Savage with a chance to play a few hands of cards.

PWhile Carla Beckman works on Fred Ridder’s make-up, Jenny Sisler makes the last adjustments on hers. 30 ¢ Junior Class Play This year the class of 1984 presented The Latest Mrs. Adams under the fine direction of Miss Jane Avery. The play turned out to be another great perfor- mance. Before a play can be presented on stage, there are a million details to take care of. In preparing for a play, the Junior Class had to find a director. This year they asked Miss Avery, which seems to have become a tradition at Southern. Miss Avery then held a meeting and from the turn out at the meeting, she decided on a play. After pick- ing the play, tryouts were held and the few selected ones started practicing. Once she had the play and the cast, the hard part began. The roughest part of ac- ting is the long hours of practice that the actors go through. After the cast learns their blocking and gets a good feel of the part they are play- ing, they have set raise. At set raise, the whole Junior Class is invited. From the po- ple who show up, Miss Avery and the cast decide who will be on crew. They inform the crew members and tell them when they have to show up at practice. You now © have the whole gang.

WMaking the finishing touches on his make-up is Fred Ridder The Latest Jr. Class Play Practices became really tough and long. Miss Avery started pushing and everything fell into place. The blocking became smooth and eveyrone could feel their characters grow into reality. Then the crew came. They started ad- ding special effects like sound, lighting, make-up, props, etc. The whole cast and crew practiced for two more weeks and then they were ready. They held a special dress rehearsel and the next morning they were ready to per- form for the school. The first day they per- formed the play for the ninth and tenth graders. The second day was usually the hardest, scariest and most demanding because they performed for the seniors, juniors, and the public. It was real hard doing three perfor- mances a day. Then Saturday came with their last performance and they say good- bye to the experience and exitement. Miss Avery got somesleep and sighs. The last chore was to tear down the set. Then they realized the pain of the play en- ding. The little bit of magic they created, the creation of just their little group, ended. When asked about the play, Cathie Perando said, ‘‘Everything about the play ATrying to stop the fight between Shawn Garner and Rodney Swiger is Fred Ridder as Tracy Polce and Jen- was absolutely great.

Junior Class Play ¢ 33 The Roving Reporter Speaks on Prom This is your roving reporter at Southern High School here to talk to you about what happened when the Junior class of 1983 decorated for prom. Sheila Hyde, a witness at the scene of the decorating, said, ‘‘When decorations first arrived, | thought we’d never be able to put them together and get something that looked even half way decent. The decorating committee had to put so much time and effort into creating the overall ef- fect It really surpassed all previous expectations.” The Junior class had their first meeting on December 7, 1982, and ordered decora- tions on February 7, 1983. They put decorations together a week before Prom. With ten people working, it took about four and a half hours. Another person, a Mrs. Joan Lambert, adviser, witnessed this event and said, at Alpine. 34° Prom ‘Although the beautiful interior of the Alpine Lake Resort did not require any decorations, the prom committee wanted to make this prom especially beautiful. They began planning and designing ways to implement the theme, Up Where We Belong, in early December. A staircase motif of two eight feet high spiraling silver Stairsteps, white puffy clouds, metallic stars, lavender and silver streamers, and coordinating ticket program booklets, napkins, and centerpieces carried out the theme. “Guests stepped up into the ballroom through a white lattice gateway through clouds and had their pictures taken in front of a specially constructed background of deep purple with white draping gossamer curtains.” That concludes my roving report on the 1983 Junior-Senior prom.

Prom ¢ 35 It Was Almost Like Heaven’ To many juniors and seniors, prom means much more than just a ritualistic dance. It could be described as a com- memoration of all the magnificent and prominent adventures they have endured throughout their years at Southern High School. The 1983 Junior-Senior Prom, held May 7th, from 8 o’clock until midnight, at Alpine Lake Resort in Terra Alta, was a great success. In fact, you could say it was almost like heaven based on the decora- tions provided by the Junior Class which consisted of heavenly features, such as, stars, clouds, a staircase to heaven, and a picture backdrop. Mrs. Joan Lambert, Junior Class ad- 36 Prom viser, who put many demanding and strenuous hours into the preparations and decoration for the prom, stated, ‘“‘It was fun to plan for the 1983 prom. After the seniors selected their colors and theme, it was exciting to plan the decorations, prom booklets, invitations, and _ picture backdrop. We tried to make everything beautiful. However, we were very disap- pointed by the adverse publicity that the prom received because in actuality it went so smoothly. The students couldn’t have been any nicer.” Students seemed to have mixed feelings about the effectiveness of the prom. Carol Maffett said, ‘‘Prom wasn’t all | had ex- pected it to be. It was very nice though. | would prefer Prom continued to be out o the school. We need to have a different at mosphere than the high school gym.” Cathy Junkins felt that, ‘... prom was really nice. The atmosphere made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, Everyone who was there seemed to have 4 wonderful time. | hope my senior prom can be as special as my junior prom was.” Mr. Lowell Leitzel, who was also Junior class adviser, seemed to enjoy the prom very much. “The prom was an enjoyable experience for all who attended. It’s always nice to see young people dressed well and having a good time. The junior class committees are to be commended fof all of their hard work.”’ A Sharing diverse feelings about getting their picture taken are Jason Paolucci and Theresa Sisler.

A New Beginning To graduate is to grasp the meaning of growing up and of memories. For graduating is the closing of one chapter of your life and opening up a new one. A new chapter that has just as many tests and trials as the one just closed. Upon graduating you reach adulthood and the beginning of your career. With the beginning of your career comes the thought of college, a trade school or a job. A senior stated, ‘I plan on getting a job after | graduate. For a month or so after graduation | just want to relax.”’ Also with graduation comes the memories of the many long years of school. Not at all times are these memories good, some are bad, some are sad, but most are happy. These memories reflect our future, as well as our past lives. When asked to share some of her memories, Kim Tephabock replied, “School has been very fun for me. | am kind of glad | am graduating, although | will miss my friends, | plan on continuing my school years in college. There | will meet new people and make new friends.” Graduation is a happy time although lots of tears are shed. These tears are shed because of the loss the graduates feel. To close a chapter of your life is not an easy thing to do as the 1983 graduates ex- perienced. To leave friends and families and everything you know behind is a dif- ficult task. This must be done though so that you can move onward and upward, and so that you can grow in a new and dif- ferent way.

Some have been at Southern for their last time and for some it was the final day seeing their friends. One hundred and seventy-five seniors grad- uated Sunday afternoon. Many were hap- py to be getting out of school and others were sad knowing that all their school years were over after spending twelve years with everyone of their friends. One of the seniors stated, ‘‘I] am kind of glad | am getting out of school so | do not have to worry about having work in on time and studying for tests, but | am a little sad because | probably will not see some of my friends for years.”’ 4 . A John Nock smiles proudly as he receives his diploma. 4 The big day has arrived for Ron Bosley as he waits for graduation to begin. The valedictorian, the person with the highest grades in their class, was Jill Ham- mond, and the Salutatorian, the person with the second highest grade in their graduating class, was Teresa Livengood. Jason Paolucci replied how he felt about graduating, ‘“‘When my brother graduated four years ago | thought what a lucky per- son he was, and that | could not wait until it was my turn. Well, now it is my turn, and it was everything | thought it was going to be. | must admit school was fun at times, but | am glad! am out.”’ Graduation, a time of happiness and sadness, brings this part of your life to a close. Graduation ¢ 41 42 ¢ Division Page aaa =!) yy os Take me out to the ball game. Pin for a win. To the hoop two. We want a touchdown. These and many other sayings can be heard throughout the year at dif- ferent sporting events. Southern attracts fans from nearby counties during any of their sporting seasons. This is due to their fine athletic ability. _ Athletes train for their sport throughout the year. To keep in shape, athletes weightlift before and after the season starts. Many keep in shape by jogging and going to recreation in the gym on Sundays. Many people wonder if it is worth all the time spent practicing and traveling. The athletes go through a lot of hassle from their parents for never being at home. During the University High game, J. R. Gibson leaps into the air to try to tip the ball to one of the Ram players. RTS Of course, not all athletes will go on to college and continue playing sports, but some will. For those who do, sports are worth all the strenuous practice that is put forth. The feeling of winning and coming out on top is terrific. To know that it was a job well done can give such a great feeling of satisfaction that it is unbelievable. It is wonderful to be able to say, ‘‘l was part of that team, and | helped to establish a winning season.”’ So, the time and effort really are worth it, and it is great that we have such a great group of athletes to participate in sports.

Although during the past few years some things have remained the same, Southern had a few new additions this year. The Ram athletes were fortunate enough to receive a newly remodeled locker room. This locker room is used to benefit all of the male athletes in any sport. | Along with the refjnished locker room, new fields were developed. Ron Stemple, with the help of other participating jcitizens, constructed three new athletic fields. These fields consisted of a softball field, a baseball field, and a new track field. The new softball field was made for the girls’ softball team, which for once, the girls had a field of their own. The baseball field was not a new addi- tion; instead, the field was leveled and all the rocks were picked off. The once inade- quate playing field can now be ready for spring. Southern High School has never had a track, but with the new track field, one may soon be on the way. These new additions to Southern were made to better the athletic program. With these additions, more students will be able to participate in various activities. Ron Stemple stated, ‘‘Things are still up in the air; it’s hard to tell when the fields will be completed. Everything lies in the hands of the politicians.” “Paul Harvey, injured in the Central Preston game, looks on from the sidelines during the Mussleman game. Running for a touchdown, J. R.

Split Record Earns Individual Awards As the 1982 Varsity Football season end- ed, the team went out with a split record of 5-5. The season got off to a good start with a win over Pocahontas County. Soon after that first victory, bad luck and tough defeats came in the way of the Rams. Coach Woods stated, ‘I felt our 1982 football season was pretty well injury free. Much of that success was due to weight lif- ting and in season isokenetics. This season rates as one of the best as far as numbers of games missed by players due to football related injuries.” The Rams ended their season with a tragic loss to Northern, but then they sprang into action by winning the Highland Football Conference. Don DeBerry, Ron Bosley, Paul Harvey, Dave Terrant, Jeff Beeman, and Tim Tharp were named H.F.C. players. Dave Scott and Ron Bosley were named Potomas Valley Conference 46 « Varsity Football players for their outstanding abilities. This year the Rams had a great deal of outstanding records. Ron Bosley led the of- fense with 900 yards and 89 tackles. Dave Scott led the team in yards received with 282 and the award for most fumble recoveries went to Jeff Beeman who had four. As the season closed, the practices went on. The Ram football team continued their weight lifting program every sixth period, for most of the team. A newly designed weight program was constructed for the Varsity football team. When asked how he thought practices were constructed, Don DeBerry stated, ‘To me, the off season program is what makes the football team. Without the off season training, the team would be nothing.” Looking onward, Tim Tharp wonders when he goes back in to play. i] me iit Sie agree OP msm Taz VAnother play is completed by Paul Harvey who then heads for the sidelines.

Robbie Germain said, ‘‘Practicing with Varsity can get a little rough, but overall it is a lot of fun.

You do not get hit as hard, and you do not have to do as much running.” Jamie Thomas said, ‘High school prac- tices are more fun and aggressive than youth league practices.”’ The games also have more meaning in high school than they do in youth league. After all, a chance at setting a high school record has a lot more meaning than a youth league record does. VW The offense discusses the referees decision.

It can be as thrilling or as boring as the person makes it. Mr. Oren Yoder took on a new task as head coach at Southern. He told his opinion on different coaching subjects. When asked what he felt about the season, Coach Yoder replied, ‘‘The varsity basketball team had an up and down year. The team started slow only winning one of the first five games. At the end of the season, the team played well, winning the last six games of the regular season. The biggest disappointment was losing to Bruce in the second round of the regional play-offs. The Rams finished with a 15-9 record. The high point in the season was beating Flintstone, who was undefeated “17-0” at the time, and twice beating a talented Keyser team.” Coach Yoder graduated from Northern High School, which is Southern’s rival team. Some might have wondered if it would create problems, but it did not. In fact, Coach Yoder felt, ‘Being a graduate from Northern, | like to see Northern do well, but not a gainst us. It was a thirll to beat them twice because all of my friends and relatives are involved in_ their program.” People were curious of how the team would react to Mr. Yoder since it was his first year as head coach instead of assis- tant coach. Coach Yoder said, “‘It took a couple of games for the team to adjust to me as the head coach. It would have taken longer had | not been an assistant coach for several years.” Varsity Basketball ¢ 51 Talent Pays Off! 52 Varsity Basketball At first, Ram basketball fans might have had doubts on how well Southern was go- ing to do this year. By the end of the season, they knew that the team had pull- ed it all together to create one heck of a team. They were tough, aggressive, defen- sive, and quick. No one ever had an easy victory over them. When the season was over, the team had racked up many impressive records and averages. Scott Stem, only a sophomore, had the best field goal average by shooting fifty-one percent and the best free throw average of seventy-seven percent. Jimmy Freeman, a junior, led the team VTaking it up for two is something Ron Bosley can do with skill. He proved this by averaging 8 points a game. with eighty-three assists. At the annual Sports Banquet, Ron Bosley was awarded by being named Best Defensive Player, and Kevin Winters was chosen Most Valuable Player. The team will be losing Kevin Winters, Tom Stem, Ron Bosley, Rick Selders, John Nock, and Terry Bittinger. Of those six, four were starters. Luckily, there will be other talented players who can fill the spots rather well. With the team gaining more experience, and Coach Oren Yoder being a second-year head coach, it may be that College Park } will be a reality instead of a dream. “During the Flintstone game, Scott Stem scores to WThe cheerleaders can always find ways of amusing help the Rams beat the Aggies, who were undefeated Dave Terrant, Terry Bittinger, Kevin Winters, Tom at the time.

The girls, with their great team spirit and accomplished goals, lead themselves to their best season yet. Leading the offense this year were Jenny Hillen with 438 points and Kelly Bittinger with 120 points. The starting five, leading the girls to their many vic- tories, were Amy Hillen, Jane Bell, Natalie Vetter, Jenny Hillen, and Kelly Bittinger. This year’s team was led by only one senior, Amy Hillen. Having four of their five starters back, next year should be very promising also. The success of this year’s team was due to many of their accomplishments. The girls set a record for the longest winning streak, five games in a row, and also for the most points scored in one game. The team also defeated Valley and Bishop Walsh for the first time. Along with their many other well deserved accomplishments, the girls also won the Garrett County Champion- ship, which was very exciting to the team. A Jenny Hillen running to get a rebound.

Basket- ball program has been under the direction of Mr. Ken McLaughlin. Four of the five years, the program was very successful with the 81-82 record a minor setback. Coach McLaughlin has accumulated a record of 61 wins and 34 losses for a winn- ing percentage of 64% while coaching basketball. If you exclude the one 81-82 record, his winning percentage would be 72%. Those stats are some of the best in Southern’s history. Agreed most of the credit should go to the players, but Coach McLaughlin should be given some credit. Let us give credit where it is due. A basketball team can have five superstars that are all seven feet tall and still not produce a winning season. A good team must have all the ingredients including a good Coach to give leadership and teaching. This year’s team had a very successful year with a 14-5 record, and a few of the members had positive remarks about Coach McLaughlin. Wayne Dixon remark- ed, ‘Well, | think he gave us a very good season and as a coach, was even better.”’ Terry DeWitt said, “I really enjoyed my first year of basketball at Southern. | en- joyed playing under Coach McLaughlin.

JV Basketball ¢ 59 Spirited Practices When the Freshmen team heard what they had to do, they were shocked. It seemed Coach Dave Bender had an dea on how to release some of the pressures that go along with basketball. He wanted them to wear masks and weird clothes. Coach Bender said, ‘‘The purpose for dressing up was to relieve some of the pressures that go along with basketball. The practice was not like a regular prac- tice with drills. The team did mostly what they wanted to do. | told the boys to dress in army boots, crazy socks, crazy hats, and anything else they wanted.”’ Jon Reneslacis stated, ‘‘l personally did not think dressing up had anything to do with us getting rid of pressures. If anything, it broke our concentration.”’ This was not the first new thing the players had to do. Before the games, they would recite chants to keep in mind what they were supposed to do. One of the chants was: Box out or the Coach is going to shout! Coach Bender said, ‘‘The chants were to help the team to remember the basic fun- damentals of basketball. | tried to help the team remember these important basics, in- stead of yelling them throughout a whole game.”’ The team ended up with a good record. Therefore, these strategies may have been worthwhile.

During the summer the girls were already preparing for the 1982 volleyball season by attending a week long volleyball camp at Garrett Community College. At the camp, beginning players learned the basics of the game, and they played games with other girls of the same ability. Ex- perienced players were drilled on different techniques. On the last day of camp the outstanding players were awarded trophies based on being the best defensive player, best offen- sive p layer, and the best hustler. Each girl was given a report on how they had per- formed, and it listed some suggestions for improving their game. The camp was a very rewarding experience for many of the girls.

Volleyball Team Soars to Districts The volleyball team was ranked fourth this year in the area standings. This en- abled the team to go to the District 1 Class C play-offs. The play-offs were held at Mt. Savage high school. Southern played against Mt. Savage, who was ranked first. Two games were played in each match. Southern was placed fourth after all the games were played. Cindy King, a junior, said, ‘‘This year we made it to the play-offs, and next year we are going to make it to states. We had a good team this year, and we worked together. We've lost a lot of seniors who were really good, so we will have to work harder to make up for the loss next year.”’ At the District play-offs, Gwen McBee was chosen by the referees to be named to the Official All-Star team. Gwen, a senior, said, ‘| was happy with the results of the volleyball team this year. | am going to miss playing volleyball for Southern high school, and | have enjoyed the years that | have been involved with the sport.”’ Out of the eleven games played this season, the volleyball team came up with six wins.

Being an experienced wrestler out of Southern gave Jim a jump on what was needed and expected out of each and every wrestler. Coach Joe Heatherman stated, ‘‘Jim’s help in matches, tournaments, and at prac- tice was great. We certainly wouldn't have been 8-1-2 without him!”’ Rodney Neely stated, ‘The addition of Jim Lyons as an assistant to Coach Heatherman proved to be an invaluable asset to the wrestling team during this past season. His devotion to the progress of each individual grappler was outstanding.”’ ‘Jim dedicated many hours of time and effort to the wrestling team. His methods of instruction were instrumental in our forging the first winning season for many years. With his continued assistance, much improvement in each member of the team next year is expected.” The addition of Jim Lyons to the wres- tling team proved to make the sport a little more exciting and full of suspense. The team accepted Jim’s knowledge and ex- perience well and put it to work wisely. Wrestling ¢ 69 WHAT KIND OF SPORT? Golf is not really the kind of sport that people come to watch and cheer the players on, but it is an enjoying sport. In most sports you usually have a set time to go by and on some occasions you have to hurry before time runs out. In golf you can take your time, enjoy the scenery, the game, and you do not have to hurry. The weather is really nice during golf season. Everything is quiet and peaceful. There are no fans around to yell and break 3p = s your concentration. Steve Kremer, one of the golf players, was complaining about the yearbook photographers breaking his concentration. “Il went to hit the ball and | heard a click and the ball ended up in the trees.’’ Most of the golfers like the quiet with no interruptions. The quiet gives them more of a relaxed and professional air. One of the golf members replied, “‘l really like the sport golf, because there is no yelling to build up tension and to make me lose my concentration.” Golf season is a nice time of the year to be outside. The air is warm and comfor- table, it is not too hot to do anything. Although three matches were rained out, the rest were on nice days. So if you are looking for a sport that is quiet, peaceful, with no people around to cause tension, and that you do not work up a sweat while playing, golf is the sport you are looking for.

They finished up the season with the record of fifteen and three. The most valuable player was Jim Flanigan who had the best average with 85.1. Jeff Myers had the second best score with the average of 93.9. They have a fairly new coach, Mr. Tom Woods, who is the head football coach. Coach Woods started coaching golf last year after Mr. Bill Freyman quit after coaching four years. Coach Woods fin- ished the season with an average of 89.8. The golfers practiced about two times a week and before matches. In the Potomac Valley Conference Tour- nament, Southern competed against four other teams. Southern came in second with a score of 358. They were beaten by Keyser by ten strokes. Keyser beat them two previous matches by twenty-three and nine strokes. Southern only lost three matches and all three were by Keyser. Southern’s best score was against Moorefield. They finished up with a score of 186. Most of Southerns scores’ were somewhere in the three-hundreds. Their average for the year was about 330. 72 ¢ Golf SOUTHERN OPPONENT 4 After finishing a hole, Steve Kremer writes down _W Getting ready for a match, Alan Zimmerman and Jim the results.

COP ie The New Help Old The Girls’ Softball team had many things going their way this year. For one, many new girls tried out for the team, which made it quite exciting. With more girls to choose from, the coach could choose the best from all. This made the team better skilled and qualified. However, many girls were new at the game and had to be taught the rules and coaching signals. Chris Headrick said, player as a senior on the softball team was quite an experience. We had a great season. We played like a team, not in- dividually — everyone worked together. It was fun, and | hope that in the future, “Being a new more girls will go out for the softball team and experience the great feeling of getting that first hit.”’ Lisa Hauser felt, “For the past four years, | have really had fun playing soft- ball. | Know | will miss it after this year. This year, the time has paid off by making this the best season we have ever had. | hope others who play in the future enjoy it as much as | have.”’ Amy Hillen commented, “‘It was great to be a member of the best softball team ever. | just wish that there were more peo- ple to come and see our games. It would help the team a lot.” Girls’ Softball ¢ 75 VBefore the Northern game, Coach Ken McLaughlin While at bat, Jenny Hillen eyes the ball for a sure converses with Mr. Ron Stemple. hit. Ram Player speaks Out! This year’s softball season was very up and down for me. We started out very en- thusiastic but slowed down towards the end. We had six returning starters back and some freshmen who were really pro- mising. Our attitudes were not as good this year because a lot of our games were cancelled. At one stretch in the season, we only played one game in two weeks. The fact that we did not have our own softball field is another factor that hurt us. It is not fair that the girls do not have a field of their own. Every day when the weather was nice, we had to load up all our equipment in Amy Hillen’s, Chris Headrick’s, and Cindy King’s cars and ride down to Southern Middle to practice. On rainy days, we went to either the girl’s gym or the boy’s gym to practice. We had most of our games on Southern Middle’s field. It is embarrassing to tell other teams that Southern girls do not have a field. Before the playoffs, we had a record of 9-1. We were No. 1 seed in our region which consisted of us, Northern, Boonesboro, and Clear Springs. Our coach and us were so optimistic. We thought that if we played well on Tuesday and Wednes- day, we could go to States in Annaplois. We lost to Clear Springs in extra innings 9- 8. We were really disappointed. We knew for sure that we had more talent than anyone in our region but just could not pull through. We know for sure that next year we gotta pull it all together. The main fac- tor of the season was too much rain and not enough sunshine. Therefore, we got stiff waiting around to play, and we lost intensity.

These areas are: all-round great player, leading hitter, most runs batted in, most valuable player, and best pitcher. The winner of the Golden Glove Award was Kevin Winters. Kevin led the team to a great season. He was first in hitting, runs batted in, and homeruns. All of these things led to the winning of this award. The Leading Hitter Award also went to Kevin Winters. He had a total of twenty- 78 « Baseball one hits during the season. Kevin's batting average was .375. Kevin Winters also won the Most Runs Batted In Award. He had twenty-three runs batted in at the end of the season. The Most Valuable Player Award went to Ron Bosley. He had the most triples, four, and also the most stolen bases, four- teen. Ron also excelled in pitching. Mark Rodeheaver won the Best Pitcher Award. He had three wins and two losses out of the five games he pitched. Mark averaged 2.66 earned runs per inning dur- ing the season. He had a total of twenty- seven strike outs for the season. There are other areas in which players§ can excel without any recognition. Hitting homeruns is one of those areas. Keving Winters, once again, held the lead with six§ homeruns. Ron Bosley had four homeruns. Gary Hardesty was not far behind Kevin Winters for most hits. He averaged .370 for the season. He ended the season with a total of seventeen hits. While Tom Stem has his mind set on the Northern game, Jeff Beeman has his on something else.

Two advantages of the new field are the inage system and the better seating for spectators. ast year a lot of the games had to be btponed due to the poor drainage of the | field. This year that was not a problem. The bleachers for the new field are in a ter position for watching games. One json for this is because the new chers sit up higher than the field. ge ¥ The players also like the new field. Paul Harvey, catcher, said, ‘‘I like the new field because it seems better laid out than the old field.”’ Gary Hardesty, out fielder, stated, ‘‘The out field is a lot better on the new field than what it was on the old field.”’ One of the problems solved by building the new field was the house across the street getting their windows broken every now and then. Cars that parked along the road also had a chance of getting their win- dows broken. Last year there were times when the games were played at Broadford park. Now the games can be played at the school, where they should be played.

Straight to the TOP! 82 Varsity Cheerleaders This year the Varsity cheerleading squad showed Southern High School what hard work can accomplish. They were once again an outstanding group of girls. The squad went to Hood College this year for camp. Out of five hundred girls participating, only six squads were chosen for the Award of Excellence. Southern was one of the six squads, and they received first place. During their week at Hood Col- lege, they received the Award of Ex- cellence and also a spirit stick. The whole week was proven to be quite a rewarding experience. Football season was very successful again this year. The squad took time and effort to decorate the halls and to hold a pep assembly for the football team. Basketball season began as the year pr gressed, and this also proved to be su cessful for the cheerleaders. They su ported the team with the greatest e thusiasm. They were able to excite they crowd, and the spirit squad helped a lot. The squad will be losing three very go cheerleaders.

The 82:83 Junior Varsity Cheerleaders had another successful year. The girls at- tended camp in July at West Virginia Wesleyan. Throughout the week, the girls worked hard practicing. The practicing paid off very well, and the squad received two red ribbons, two blue ribbons, and a spirit stick. Basketball season was also very rewar- ding for the squad. They received a lot more crowd support than ever before. Bin- di Shank said, ‘I enjoyed J.V. cheerleading better than freshman because the crowd supported us and the team so much more. It was a lot more exciting when the crowd and the Spirit Squad helped us cheer on the Rams.”’ The cheerleaders had a rather rough year keeping the same squads. The varsity squad had a few girls quit. They had to take girls from the J.V. squad to fill the holes, while the J.V.’s used freshmen to fill up their squad. By the beginning of basket- ball season, the squads were pretty much settled.

They cheered at all of the freshman basketball games and also cheered for the girl’s home games. This year’s freshman cheerleaders were Krystal Beckman, Maria Taylor, Gloria Jamison, Lori Teets, and Jill Kremer, captain. They were very dedicated to both teams. They practiced long hours after school to learn all of the chants and cheers. These girls’ spirit and hard work really encouraged the players to try harder. Although at times there were few spec- tators, these girls helped pull Southern’s freshman team through the season. The freshman season started out with tryouts, held by the Varsity cheerleaders, in the fall. Jill Kremer said, ‘Il enjoyed cheering for both the freshman and the girl’s basketball teams. If it was not for Tammy Rowan, we may have been a real flop, but because of her experience, we had a good time cheering.”’ A Getting prepared for the game are Krystal Beckman and Jill Kremer. 4 Surprised by the score of the game is Lori Teets.

Many people join or par- ticipate in one or more clubs. Besides clubs that benefit the students in the future, there are also clubs that they can enjoy now as teenagers such as ski club or spirit squad. Most of the clubs meet during activity period or after school. The clubs also give students the opportunity of associating with different students in different grades. The main purpose of a club is to raise money. Fund-raising can become boring at | f [ times because students feel that all they | ever do is go out to raise money. Most of the money was raised by bake sales, candy I} selling, or raffles. As the money act cumulates, the club can either buy things — for their organization, participate in fun ac- tivities, or donate money to other needy} organizations. | Even though the membership has decreased, clubs are still as important as ever. They still have the same amount of | benefits and advantages. Hopefully, as time passes, the interest will once again in: | crease, and the membership will grow. Of course, it can only get better. | Pep Club Student Council National Honor Society Quill and Scroll Ski Club A Sometimes certain activities capture the attention of the members more than others.

There was a possibility that part of the former staff would not be returning due to traveling great distances and several other factors. The staff did decide to return for marching season and winter guard as well. The band was happy to have their entire staff back, for without their help, the en- couragement of parents and the support of the students and faculty, the band would not have done as well as they did. For the first time since its beginning, the band went undefeated in Class A in the West Penn Circuit. Due to close scoring at nearly every show, there was a great deal of competition throughout the year. Setbacks did arise as they do every year. Some changes in music were made for the percussion, and a small portion of the drill was altered. Nervousness was another problem the band faced. They overcame this at the Beaver Local show in Ohio, where the band received a standing ovation — from strangers at that. This enthusiasm then carried through the whole marching season. The band also put on a very spirited performance at West Penn Cham- pionships at Baldwin High School causing the judges to honor the band with first in its class and Class A Champions for the year. Hopefully the encouragement the band received will carry over from year to year, thus giving Southern another thing to be proud of.

Band 91 Band Plays Into the Winter During the winter season, the band kept in practice by participating in concert band. Some took a further step and joined stage band as well. Both groups presented a challenge to those involved. The music was harder than that played on the field, thus strengthening each individual section. Lu Ann Gregg said, ‘‘Sometimes it’s kind of boring — especially at the beginning. By the time the spring concert rolls around, the music is fun to play and helps the band a great deal for next year.” The concert band’s music consisted of a variety of selections ranging from modern pop to classical pieces. Concert band was a time for each and every section to show its true colors. At least one particular sec- tion was featured in every piece the band played. Concert band also prepared next year's band by challenging each member to perfect the concert sel ections. Stage band consisted mainly of members who wished to entertain and ex- cite. Stage band members spend their Monday nights practicing in preparation for basketball games and local events. Stage band selections consisted primari- ly of modern pop and jazz music. Stage band helped the individual gain confidence because it placed pressure on the per- former at every home basketball game. The stage band was surprised by the several visiting basketball teams. Many of the opposing coaches complained that the stage band upset their players — especial- ly the song Superstar. Most members were greatly surprised by this. Michelle Hesen commented on the problem, ‘‘It’s too bad that the other coaches feel this way but it’s a compliment to the stage band. We sup- ported our team and if playing Superstar gets the opposing team down, then we're doing our job.”’ A Practicing her fingerings is important as Robin Weeks demonstrates. 92 ¢ Band ooceneetty Weteraseseneee{OSh eeanaeeenee® A Jamming at a basketball game is Mike White. 4 While Amy Filemyr and Kim Simpson take a breath, Brandon Seifert takes a closer look. ¥ Concentrating on her part, Maggie Welch plays it out during halftime at the Northern game.

Belles Have The Southern Belles went through many changes this year. The most noticeable of these was the change in uniforms. The guard switched to more striking colors which got the audience's, as well as the judge’s, attention. The style stayed basical- ly the same except for the elimination of hats which the guard felt were a distrac- tion. The guard also switched to much “More colorful equipment, which made the guard fit in more with their Calypso style. _ Another change that put a big demand on each member was the move into Open Class in Winter Guard International. (WGI). | This meant the guard would be competing against the best guards in WGI. This was the first year the guard had ever competed in Open class. Lisa Savage had this to say about being in Open class, ‘I enjoyed be- Ing in Open class because it made you challenge yourself. We all felt like we VShowing that “‘it’s all in the wrist” is Lisa Savage. Eyes on WC had accomplished something when we got placed among the top guards in WGi.”’ Since this was their first year as an Open Class guard, the Belles knew they had very little chance, if any, of being 1. The guard realized that this was the year to make a name for themselves in Open class. The guard did not come out as losers though. In WGI, the Belles finished 23rd out of 96 guards and 4th among high school guards. In the West Penn Circuit, the guard, for the second year in a row, won championships. This year, as oppos- ed to last, the Belles were clearly undefeated in the West Penn Circuit. With the new changes and progress plus the international recognition they have received, perhaps Ist place in WG can become a reality instead of a distant dream for the Southern Belles.

Band 95 This When you first entered the back room in room 201, your impression might have been, ‘‘This is it?”’ However, if you would have looked a lit- tle closer under the pop cans and candy wrappers, you might have found the bits and pieces that made up the 1983 Highlander yearbook. Stationed at the desk would have been our editor, Lori Noe, hard at work and pushing deadlines so everything was in on time. As you wandered deeper into the room, you would have found Tammy Rowan, the Business Manager, and Kim Tephabock, the Copy Editor, diligently working at their assigned duties. In the left rear corner there was a door marked Darkroom, where you would have 96 Yearbook Is It! been most likely to have found Jason Paolucci, the Darkroom Editor. After all, without pictures of the year’s great and not so great events, what would the year- book have been? When talking with our editor about what makes up a good yearbook, Lori Noe stated, ‘‘I think an enthusiastic staff with a good English background helps to make the yearbook better.”’ The person who ran around as if he had ants in his pants was Mr. Douglas Buckley, the life-long yearbook advisor who had been conducting his advisory services for 16 year.

Without a Country The Acorn had been vigorously trying to find an advisor who would stick with them through thick and thin. Year after year they bounced around from advisor to ad- visor like a man without a country. They have embarked upon yet another advisor for the 82-83 season, Mr. Bill Hogan. Mr. Bill Hogan has been teaching English for nine years and accepted the duties of advisor of the Acorn. With the change of advisor also came a new location. For the last few years, they were stationed in room A105, but their darkroom was in the back of room 210. This made it quite hard for the staff to put the paper together; whereas, Mr. Bill Hogan’s English room is only a few steps away from their darkroom. When asked how he liked the new loca- tion, the editor Luther Lohr stated, ‘‘The new location and advisor was a move to greater efficiency. Although the sales are down, the new staff works hard to keep things up to par.” Hopefully, Mr. Bill Hogan will inject the Acorn with new life in the years to come, and the tale of a Man Without a Country will be banished. % % ee oe oe 4.4 ‘4% 7 % m “?

Students can remember more if they are taken after each semester because most of it is still in their memory. If just one final is taken, the teachers are able to find out how much the student has learned. During final time, most students pull all- nighters and end up doing poorly on their finals anyway. It is pretty rough studying until two o'clock in the morning and then getting up between 6:30 or 7:00 to get ready for school. The advantage of a final is to let students see how much they can remember, and if there is anything they do not understand, they can still get help on it. All in all, whenever the final does take place, it is worth it to some extent. Tom Parrack felt, “I think that it is best to take finals at the end of each term. This gives a review of the term and lets you know what you need to learn for your final at the end o f the year.”’ Y While taking his last final in Mr. David Mayfield’s physics class, Terry Bittinger goes slowly to be sure not to make any mistakes. : : . | Feature e 101 Bus ness Pa S Vv Performing for the Heart Fund, Bobby Grove, Shawn y y Garner, Lorie Damon, Patti Spencer, and Jill Kremer.

Girls Athletic Association ¢ 105 Something Old Something New Through the years, Student Council has tried to fulfill every suggestion they are handed. A few years ago someone came up with the idea, ‘‘Lunch is boring; we need a juke box to liven things up a little.”’ By talking to Mr. David Mayfield, Student Council ad- visor, Mr. Luther Parrack, principal, and Student Council members, the idea was sent to the Board of Education for their permission. Approval was made; the Stu- dent Council was successful. Many suggestions, such as asking for more senior privileges, out of school lun- ches, and an outdoor graduation came up each year but so far the Student Council has not been successful in these areas. Mrs. Sandy Smith and Mrs. Cindy Downton have added a new twist to Southern with the addition of the Spirit Squad. The Squad’s main purpose was to cheer the Varsity Basketball team to a victory. Many words of approval came from the basketball players who said, ‘‘We like the Spirit Squad and would like to see it back next year.” Varsity player, Rick Selders, felt, ‘‘It af- fects the other team and intimidates them. No other school has such a squad.” When Mr. David Beard, long time sports fan, was asked about the squad, he said, “The Spirit Squad was a positive addition to the Varsity sports program this year. | believe the major objectives of this group should be the promotion of sportsmenship attitudes that would assist in crowd con- trol and positive spectator involvement.” AStudent Council: Front: Any Dixon, Verne Lein- Krystal Beckman, Teresa Livengood.

Spirit Squad 107 Keeping Busy Throughout the 1982-83 school year, Future Farmers of America members have been on their toes. The events started in June, 1982, when several members went to Summit Lake for the Maryland Institute of Cooperative Education, alias MICE Conference. Later in June, Oakland FFA members went to Baltimore for the 54th State FFA Convention. While there, they heard ad- dresses from state officers. After taking a break in July, members were off to the National Institute of Cooperative Education Conference at the Purdue University in Laffayette, Indiana. The Garrett County Fair began in August with a parade which FFA had a float in. Several members participated in the dairy show, tractor drive, and livestock judging contest. No sooner did the county Fair end than the State Fair began. The students were able to observe many displays although they did not participate in any of the competitions. Holding their annaul Mini-Fair on Southern’s school grounds in September, approximately 40 people attended with tractor drives, archery, and haybale pit- ching contests along with egg tossing and chicken chasing competitions. These ac- tivities followed up with a cookout and a football game. In September members were back at Summit Lake for the State’s FFA Leader- ship Camp. The Region I Land Judging Contest was held in September near the cove area of Garrett County with this year’s team plac- ing 2nd overall. A Regional Up-Date Meeting was held October 5th, with the sale of apples a week later to raise money for future activities. The Mid-Atlantic Dairy Conference had some of the members off and running at the end of October to the East coast while five other members were off to Kansas Ci- ty, Missouri, in early November for the 108 e Future Farmers of America 55th National FFA Conventio n. At Bittinger Fire Hall the DHI — Holstein Banquet was held in November, after which the members had a month of rest only for things to pick up again in January with the Pennsylvania Farm show in Harrisburg. A citizenship conference was held in An- napolis where FFA members’ met Delegates George Edwards, William Byrner, and Tim Finan and with Senator John Bambacus. Vocational Agriculture — Education through Experience was National FFA Week's theme this year. The activities started in February with the annual FFA Sweetheart Dance and ended the month with events of celebration and guest speakers. Miss Carol Irvine, State FFA President, attended the Oakland FFA meeting on March 2, to speak with the group about up- coming events. Three members of the Oakland FFA Chapter, their dairy judging coaches, and advisor attended the Maryland State Hols- tein Convention and banquet held in March at Grantsville. After winning first place in the State Horse Judging contest, FFA ended the school year selling plants in _ the greenhouse and by holding a banquet May 27th. to celebrate all of their achievements for the year. i | me AFFA Oakland Chapter Front Row: Leonard Custer-President, Jeff Liller-Vice President, Anita Mahaffey-Secretary, Ken Hinebaugh-Treasurer, Drew Sheally-Reporter, Rob Lewis-Sentinal, Randy Sisler-Jr. Advisor, Carol Jones-Chaplin.

Help For Your Future There are many questions concerning what a student’s plans are when he or she graduates. Southern High School offers its students a selection of clubs to help them decide upon their future. One of these is Future Business Leaders of America, (FBLA) which offers many developmental skills for one who is interested in a secretarial job. “Our Future Business Leaders’ of America club is more active this year than last year,’’ said Kim Stowell. She then went on to say, ‘‘The group has grown over the years, especially this year. FBLA members are not only part of Southern’s FBLA club but also a part of a nationwide club. We have special meetings and par- ties for different business things. All club members get a nationwide magazine about FBLA clubs everywhere in the U.S.” FBLA members met during activity days. For a short time before football homecoming, the group met after school and on weekends to construct a float and a banner for the parade. Each morning a couple of the girls work in the FBLA room running copies of tests, worksheets, or whatever they are handed. ‘The purpose of the Health Career Club is to assemble students with interests in careers in the health services and to fur- ther information about possible choices,” stated Mrs. Sarah Steyer, advisor. HCC gives a taste of what it is like to be involved in health services. For example, HCC members were a part of the Red Cross Blood Mobile that was set up at the Armory. HCC member Rogetta Pyle said, “The Blood Mobile offers first hand ex- perience in dealing with people outside of a hospital. In the Blood Mobile you deal first hand with people. If you do not get along with them, it would be a good idea to find another career interest.” Along with the Blood Mobile, the club visited Cuppett-Weeks Nursing Home with Christmas cards to cheer up the residents’ spirits.

It takes a lot of work to get to competitions, studying, training, and more practice than ever imagined. It gives the student a chance to see other schools and other students; also a chance to exchange knowledge. “The best part of VICA is the competition. The worst is preparing for it and remembering to make sure you have all equipment and know-how needed to create your best presentation. It really puts a lot of pressure on you. Everybody at competition is willing to help one another, showing things, and helping you to find your way around.” Jim Walkling, VICA member, stated the above when asked how he felt about VICA. VICA stands for Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. All members of Southern’s club met in March at North Arundel Vocational Technical Center for thel0th. annual Maryland State Delegate Assembly and Skills Olympics.

Naturally there is some infringement of a teenager's privacy at home, but have you ever felt that your privacy was also being invaded at school? Do the teachers or coaches butt in? Many athletes feel that the coaches invade their lives by becom- ing involved in their weekend activities. Due to the publicity that the athletes get, the coaches felt that they should make up a set of rules for the players to abide by. The rules dealt with punishments set up against profanity, disrespect for the coaches, and usage of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. Most of the punishments for the players dealt with suspension from a specific number of games or expulsion from the sport. After several months of following the rules, the coaches decided they were too stringent, and they decided that each coach should make up his own guidelines. The only rule that has stayed the same specifies that if an athlete is caught using drugs, he or she is automatically kicked off the team. The athletes and coaches had different opinions of the rules before they were changed. They are as follows: Mandy Bosley: | think the rules that were given to the athletes and cheerleaders were not real- ly all that fair. The rules told the athletes they were not to be drinking, or to be seen in a place where alcoholic beverages were served. That more or less restricted the athletes from their favorite places to go on weekends. If the coaches were fold or saw the athletes there, the person or persons were under suspicion. The coaches would investigate, then the athletes could be suspended from all sports for 365 days. | think the coaches themselves should have decided the punishment for their own player or players. That way it wouldn't have been a public affair; it wouldn't have caused hard feelings; and it wouldn't have given Southern athletes, or the school, a bad name. 118 Cheryl Crogan: | felt that the rules restricted the athletes too much and were an invasion of their privacy. | don’t feel that any coach or advisor has the right to tell an athlete or cheerleader what they can or cannot do with their personal lives. | feel that the only time an advisor can control an athlete’s actions is during practice, at a game, or any time he represents the school. What he does with his own time is his own business. Chris Foley: | thought the rules were good. The coaches may have been a little too strict on the punishment. Instead of suspen- sion from the sport for a whole year, | thought having to miss half of the season would have been plenty. Other than that | thought the rules were alright. John Lipscomb: | do feel that we do need some rules at Southern. The rules which the coaches put upon the athletes last spring came suddenly and in my opinion were unfair in places. When the rules were first made, the coaches were trying to make the athletes good examples of the school. Some kids didn’t have time to adjust, and when they got suspended from sports, some consideration could have been given instead of a year later. I'm glad that now the rules are being rewritten, and maybe being an athlete won't be so bad off. Mike Pritt: | think that the rules had a good idea, but they were too hard to live by. The rules hurt the program more than it helped it. It is bad enough that they do not have too many athletes to choose from let alone limiting them. | do not think they were fair. Coach Don Stemple: | thought the rules given to the athletes during the 1981-82 school year were fair and well thought out for the good of all concerned. | think that athletes are a special group of individuals who need to discipline themselves much more than the average student. | feel they are all grown-up enough to realize the conse- quences of rule violations. | think it was a step backwards to change some for the 82-83 year. If the athletes cannot func- tion under the guidelines set up by their coaches, they should eliminate themselves. One athlete’s bad behavior is a reflection on the entire sports program. Kim Tephabock: | feel that the rules should have been discussed and examined more closely than what they were. There are many athletes who are friends with people who drink; we were told we couldn't associate with them. Athletes have always been considered stuck-up. Well, it’s NO wonder, we can’t associate with about 95% of the student body. The rules were unfair. | feel that it’s against our constitutional rights for us to be told what and what not to do. When we signed the papers, which were man- datory if we wanted to continue being athletes, we signed away many fun and important times that we could have shared through high school. | feel that the coaches should also have to go by the rules. | feel that the punishment was too harsh for first offenders. In baseball you get three strikes and then you're out; why doesn’t it work that way with us? | can understand the coaches not wanting us to drink, but | feel they should let us experience and decide for ourselves what's good and bad for us. Coach Tom Woods: As a coach, | felt the training rules were in proportion to the expectations of the athletic endeavor. The rules were those of the good citizenship, discipline, dedication, and wholesomeness. | realize the pressures of peers and socie- ty in general are very real; however, the real athlete is a very special person.

On Friday, August 27, 1982, a group of students from Southern High went through a major change. These students, who were juniors, became seniors. Many seniors. said that the underclassmen looked up to them and that they must keep their actions that de- nounced their maturity toa minimum. Another big aspect of being a senior was the so-called privileges. Tammy Rowan stated that, ‘‘It is nice to have seniority! It is also a lot of fun getting ready to go to college, or whatever. Also, when you are a senior, you have benefits such as: not hav- ing to make up snow days, released time, etc.” Some seniors also thought that becom- ing a senior would be great but after the time had come, it was not really special. Cheryl Arnott said, ‘‘l used to think that becoming a senior would be something really special, but since the senior privilege of being able to leave school for lunch had been taken away, my senior year has been much the same as my junior year. | guess being a senior is supposed to be the most exciting time of a person's life — you are leaving school — but for what? | am going back to school — college — in the fall, so | am not really finished; | am starting all over again.” Some seniors, on the other hand, en- joyed the year and had the time of their life. Diane Burns said, “I think it is great knowing that the long awaited for privileges are finally mine. It is great know- ing that part of my education is behind me. Being a senior makes me anticipate the changes that will take place after I leave high school. Things will not be the same.”’ What's So Great About Being a Senior?

About one and a half million students take the Scholastic Aptitude Test each year. A little over one million of these students are considered to be college bound. Many students all over the United States do not realize that such large numbers of students take the test. There is no passing or cutoff score for the SAT. The use of such a score would not be ap- propriate, since SAT scores are sup- plemental to the secondary school record and should not be used _ in_ isolation. Therefore the students must realize t hat scores which appear to be low might not hinder his acceptance to a college. From 1967 to 1982 the males seemed to attain higher scores, on the average, than the females. This difference may be due to the larger number of women taking the test. Mr. James Zimmerman, Advanced Math teacher, stated that, ‘“‘Male domina- tion is due to proficiency in mechanical types of study — mathematics is mechanical in nature, therefore males have a tendency to score higher.” Over the years, the scores, on the whole, were lower in 1982 than in 1967. Several reasons may back up this state- ment. One reason which Mr. Zimmerman stated was that, ‘Colleges in 1982 required fewer credits in high school math for col- lege admission. The implication here is that students have not been exposed to the higher math contained on the SAT.” In past years, men generally take more courses in mathematics and physical sciences, and women take more foreign language courses. In recent years, however, students of both sexes have shifted away from study of foreign languages and toward study in mathematics and physical sciences. The rate of increase in the study of mathematics, by women has been nearly twice that of men. I n an era when women are redefining their roles and are aspiring in greater numbers toward advanced degrees and toward study in business and commerce, engineering, and computer sciences, the disparity between mathematical averages by sex is still large.

The SAT con: sists of a math and an English section. Students could go to the guidance office and obtain a booklet that contained a sam- ple test and other sections that helped them prepare for the tests. Each booklet contained information that would help the student take the SAT and the Test of Stan- dard Written English. It also included an explanation of the different types of ques- tions, and methods of answering. 126 ¢ Seniors In addition, the booklet contained hints for using time efficiently and for guessing. The test cost $10.50 in advance and $30.00 for late entries and was taken at Garrett Community College. Lori Noe stated, ‘“‘The math part was easy, but parts of the English were tricky.”’ She also said, ‘‘The part in the English sec- tion that involved a paragraph which precedes a group of questions was hard.” About six weeks after the test was taken, the students were to receive a report that included their scores and percentile ranks. The percentile ranks showed how their scores compared with the scores of certain other groups of students who had taken the SAT and the TSWE. The report also showed how col: | leges use their scores.

He went to the college as one of approximately two hun- dred students selected out of fifteen hun- dred who sent in applications for the special art classes. Mrs. Sonja Pratt gave David the informa- tion pertaining to the art class, and he sent in his application. He then received a phone call that said he was welcomed to come to the classes. The Maryland Center for the Arts takes over Goucher Community College through the summer. Goucher Community College Artist of the Future? is an all-girls college and while the girls were dismissed over the summer, the art classes were held. __ When asked if the classes were boring, David stated, “It was far from being bor- ing. | always had something to do, and ‘drawing is such a good way to spend your ‘time if you just give yourself time to understand your imagination.’ _ David did many interesting activities while visiting the college. The day started at approximately 7 A.M., and classes ‘started at 9 A.M. and continued until 1 P.M. After classes they were given free ‘time to use as they pleased. They could either go swimming at the college pool, stay in the dorms and draw, or play volleyball or ping-pong. Early in the evening, at about 6 P.M., the evening program began. During the pro- gram many outside groups came to the college to perform and show their talents. A well-known ballet came one night. Dr. Ted Brown, a professional who protrays many famous painters and artists, came another night. When David was asked which night he enjoyed the most, he said, “The night when the music group Dragon performed was great. The performing was abstract and was done beneath the college Y where the pipes were. You were supposed to create your own interpretation of the performance.” David drew a picture which may be used on a front cover of a magazine in the up- coming year. While at the college he received an award for the picture. He has received letters from Ed Mason, past State Senator from Maryland, and Mr. Ben Rid- der, from the First National Bank of Oakland, congratulating him on his award.

Other students said that they were not going to continue their education. There were many reasons for this ranging from financial problems to interest in becoming employed immediately following high school. Many students felt they have had a sufficient education without going on to college. Whatever choices seniors make, they must keep in mind that the opportunities offered in the career world are endless. Students must go after their interests and be able to secure a stable financial outlook for the future. Is There Life After High school?

In the four years that these students studied their brains out, there were many positive results. The memories that are compiled at Southern High are full of personal moments. Some of the students have sacrificed their moments and let the entire student body and faculty get a peek at these wonderful events.

Third Time At Alpine On May 7, 1983, the Junior-Senior Prom was held at Alpine Lake Resort in Terra Alta, West Virginia, for the third year. Stacey Bell said, ‘‘The juniors did a beautiful job on the Prom, and I’m sure it will always be a night to remember for everyone who attended the dance.

Since the class of '84 had already earned enough money with a magazine sales campaign during their freshman year, we haven't had to be burdened with money-raising activities this year. Therefore, we have had more time to devote to the planning of the prom itself. “The theme Up Where We Belong, has been relatively easy to depict through decorations, programs, pictures, and table 144 ¢ Juniors Preparing for Prom decorations. “Mr. Leitzel and | have enjoyed working with the various committees and officers who have been creative and cooperative,”’ was the comment of Mrs. Joan Lambert. “Working on the prom is more work than | expected.

Juniors ¢ 145 146 « Juniors To Save A Life One of the most startling advances in medicine is that Sudden death can now sometimes be avoided. This concept is now taking place in the minds of many. It shows that even partly skilled people, with the use of their hands, lungs, and minds, are being taught the concept of saving lives. CPR was started at Southern when the Physical Education teachers felt that it would be worthwhile to include it in the physical activity p rogram. Approximately sixty students were interested in learning CPR. The course was available to any of the students who had physical education. The course lasted for about three weeks. The students who passed the course were certified to administer CPR by the Red Cross. The instructors were Mr. Ken McLaughlin, Mr. Tom Kuhn, Mr. Don Stemple and Mrs. Helen Rotosky. All of the instructors are licensed to instruct CPR by the American Heart Association. Each had to complete a twelve to sixteen hour course and each year they must take a two Gary Hardesty Kela Hardesty Kenneth Harris Terry Harvey Claudia Hinebaugh Robin Hinebaugh Sherry Hudnall Chloie Hutson Sheila Hyde Larry Iden Tracy Imhoff Cheryl Ison Larry James Cathy Junkins Angela Kelly Ruby Kifer Teresa Kimble Cinda King Roger Kisner Jr. Barbara Kitzmiller Ramona Kitzmiller David Knotts Terry Knox Steven Kremer Tamara Kyle Connie Lantz Richard Lee Verne Leininger to four hour refresher course so they will be able to keep up with the medical ad- vances in CPR. This January, the instruc- tors are going to be recertified, at Alleghany Community College, by the American Red Cross. This is the second year for the CPR course. In the course, some of the most im- portant things the students are taught are Prudent heart living, how to recognize heart attack signals, management of obstructed airways in a conscious and un- conscious victim, basic life support in in- fants and children, and one and two man CPR: ‘| feel the students learned a lot about CPR and enjoyed the class,’’ commented Mr. Tom Kuhn. ‘In CPR we practiced on the rescuian- nies.

A class ring may be symbolized as a remembrance of the exciting and sometimes disappointing days of life in high school. A class ring is for yelling your brains out at a game and for sitting in the bleachers looking for a date. It symbolizes all the dances that were danced, and all the times standing and waiting for someone to ask for a dance. It expresses the true feel- ings that growing up holds for us, and it shows the many goals that have been ac- complished. It may show the challenges, upsets, and victories that each must en- dure sometime in his life. Over ninety-six percent of the junior class ordered their rings. Mr. Ronald Richardson and Mr. Doug Richardson were the representatives from Balfour who helped the students measure for size and determine the cost of the rings. One main concern might have been the cost of the class rings.

Some juniors decided to take the matter of ordering and receiving their rings into their own hands. Some got their class rings during the summer from a jewelry store. When asked why she received her class ring before the junior class had the oppor- tunity to order theirs, Sheila Dove com- mented, “| wanted my ring before the others got theirs. I’m glad that | did get it because | don’t like the class rings from the school. However, the rings that the school offered were cheaper than mine, and mine isn’t gold. The rings were more expensive at a jewelry store.” The atmosphere of receiving their rings was a very exciting one for the juniors. This was a decision where many were able to choose the rings that they wanted. ‘‘So far, all the rings | have seen have been real- ly nice. | think most of the kids are really satisfied with what they got,’’ was the reac- tion of Chloie Hutson.

Miss Lisa Ann Savage recently represented Garrett County in Hagerstown, Maryland, in the Miss Maryland Scholar- ship Pageant held on June 23-25th. Although she did not come back with the title of Miss Maryland, she did bring back with her the experience of being there and she learned what the judges ex- pect, want, and look for in a winner. If Lisa intends to return next year she must try out for the Miss Allegany County Contest until the following year when she may once again be a contess- tant from Garrett County. Lisa gained the title of Miss Gar- rett County in the Autumn Glory Pageant _ = last fall, in which she competed with five other local girls in three different categories. Lisa feels honored that she was the first | to represent the County and for having the opportunity to face this challenge as a per- | sonal one. She is the type of person who | wants to find out just how far her ambi- tions, hard work, and talent will take her. No matter what other fortunes the future may hold, Lisa will always have the memory of being the first one to step into such an inspiring adventure as this from Garrett County.

Mr. David Bender said, ‘‘All the studerfts had a wonderfully exciting time getting a chance to experience first hand the length and breadth of the forces that developed history through the ages.”’ They were familiar with many of the ob- jects they saw such as: artifacts, mum- mies, and other exciting things.

Kelly Stewart, a sophomore, said, “‘We saw all these ancient Roman temples. They told us how they made molds of them. They are really close to the real thing. We also saw an Egyptian Mum- my. It was very educational.”’ Some people felt that the trip was slow- ly becoming a tradition, the same as the juniors getting their class rings. The future sophomores now have something to look forward to. It is the fun and excitement of an experience that is hard to forget.

Sophomores have felt the joy and excite- ment of growing up. They have had a chance to know what it is like to drive a car. The new Camaro seemed to have drawn much attention not only from sophomores but from other classes too. Sara Roberson voiced her opinion, ‘‘It is a real nice car. When we first got it, everyone was talking about it, and they were stopping to look from the windows.” Some of the Juniors were reluctant to speak on the subject. Theresa Sisler had a few words to say, ‘‘It must be nice to drive a Camaro for Drivers Education.

Cathy Junkins felt, ‘‘This was the first time in my life that | wished I were a little younger, that way I| could drive the new car.” Many people felt that the Camaro was a too expensive model of car to be used for Drivers Education. Then again, some peo- ple felt that for some students it would be their only opportunity to drive an expen- sive car. It might also be the last time for some of the fortunate students. Sophomores ¢ 157 And Still They Climb As each year progresses, the sophomores make one more step up the ladder towards graduation. For many sophomores, they could not feel any difference between freshman and a sophomore. Renee Sharpless said, ‘I can not tell the difference from when | was a freshman.” Tonya Bray said, ‘‘I thought it would be a lot better than my freshman year, but it has not improved any.”’ For many, it is just another year in the exact same place. As for several, it was one more step closer to graduation and the starting of their careers.

They have become a year older. Many have started dating and have found new friends to share their problems and lives with. With all these changes taking place, the Sophomores can not say that they do not have lots of memories that will last a lifetime.

The Spirit Squad received a banner. Also, a school slogan was voted on and chosen; Southern Rides on Southern Pride, and we got a reserved section at the games. “The Spirit Squad decorated at every home game and some members bought their own spirit shirts to help show that as a group, we totally support the Rams. When the morale was down, you could count on one of the members to help start a cheer. The members were really grateful for the cheerleaders going right along with us when we started a chant.” “Hopefully the spirit squad, in some way, helped them while cheering for the A Attempting to dissect the crayfish, Lori Elliot and LaDonna Sell examine the parts about to be cut. 160 Sophomores Rams to win. | hope that the Spirit Squad stays a club because there is a lot more we would like to do next year. | am sure from all the other Spirit Squad members we would like the Rams to know that WE LOVE YOU! Other sophomores have taken classes that will reflect their talent and let it shine through. One of the classes is art. Miss Lin- da Reeves remarked on one of her students Ashley Carr, ‘Ashley is a talented cons- cientious student. His work reflects his in- volvement and care. He seems to find original and creative solutions to artistic problems.”’ With proper teaching and lots of coaching, many students can find and bring to the surface a talent that could lead to success. Some of the sophomores have taken classes that will teach them a trade, one that they can use in their future lives or as a career. One of these classes is foods.

A fan at Southern is enthusiastic and devoted. Most of the fans are from the student body; however, many are parents, graduates, and some are college students. When Southern played other schools, the games were guaranteed to be loud and rowdy. Some fans were asked how they felt a fan sh ould act and what they should do to show their spirit. Kim Tephabock had this to say about fans, ‘‘Being a cheerleader enables me to see the fans as they really are. Many peo- ple never miss a game. They're always yelling for Southern, whether they are win- ning or losing. This kind of spirit en- courages a team to continue to fight to do their best. When you walk into the gym- nasium, you automatically feel the excite ment in the crowd. | hope that this spirit is continued for many years to come.”’ A big fan from Southern, Lynn Welch, fe lt, ‘‘Being a fan to me is excellent. | love going to school knowing that there is a game that night, seeing all the jocks in the jerseys gets me psyched before the game. All week long, | look forward to Friday to come. | hate to miss any games. | always like to get my two cents in yelling. Either winning by a lot or losing, | like yelling at every game. Most of all, | love the revenge games when the crowd yells and yells through the whole game and never stops until the end. It is even better if we beat the other team. | felt proud knowing the players could depend on me for support.” Feature 163 Campaign Sales Boom It has been a tradition from the beginn- ing of Southern High School for the junior class to prepare an enjoyable prom for the senior class. For the third consecutive year, magazines were sold as a fund raiser by the freshmen class. Selling magazines has been a big suc- cess, and the freshmen class decided to stay the course with this method as a money raiser. Miss Henrietta Lease, who is the new vice-principal, served as coordinator for the campaign sales for the first time. It is apparent that she was delighted with the magazine sales as shown through her com- ment, ‘The ninth graders did a great job of selling. They came through with a final day total of over $3,700. The prizes the students received were really fascinating and really worth the effort.”’ The class officers were in charge of counting money and awarding prizes. Scott Green was the top salesman and received a stereo cassette system.

The second highest class was Mr. James Panther’s first period. Each person in this class who sold at least one magazine received a large Slow Poke Sucker. The entire ninth grade class saw a movie at the end of the year as a reward for the class going over its goal. To summarize the whole idea of the campaign, two of the class officers had this to say: In general, we think the magazine campaign was a success. We think a few classes should have cooperated more, and some individuals could have made more of an effort to sell subscriptions. Through the first part of the campaign, there was doubt that we would reach our goal. On the last day though we had a huge turn- in and made it over our goal.

The changes they are faced with can be monstrous. They must learn the guidelines people follow in their rela- tions with one another and the shared stan- dards of behavior. They must learn what they should or should not do in given situa- tions, but they also must be able to an- ticipate how others will accept them. As freshmen, they encounter many new social experiences. Although the meaning of being popular has changed, popularity is still considered to be extremely im- 166 ¢ Freshmen portant. Belonging to a group gives the newcomers status and a way of finding himself. One of the largest and hardest tasks a freshman must accomplish is building his identity. He needs to find out what he is really like on the inside, and what he wants or expects out of life. ‘| look at my years at Southern as a final step in my education before | enter college.

Among these alterations are the increasing use of pro- fane language and the destructive effects of graffiti. Lisa Harvey, a freshman, shows her feel- ings by saying, ‘The profanity that is pre- sent here is much worse than that used at Southern Middle. Profanity is destructive and also ruins the image of our school.”’ Could it be that, as many freshmen ex- pressed, swearing becomes an obsession? Many felt that using profane language gives them a feeling of authority, and everyone wants to be someone. They feel they have to be part of the gang. Perhaps if peer pressure were not so strongly emphasized, students would start to form their own attitudes and beliefs. Throughout our school there are ob- vious signs of graffiti behind the stairways, on the bathroom walls, everywhere you look. Paul Barnhouse shares his views on graf- fiti. He stated that, ‘Graffiti destroys pro- perty and downgrades our school. But then again it gives you something to read while in the bathroom. This type of pro- fanity causes our school to receive a bad reputation and causes hard feelings bet- ween members of the student body. Although many people seem disgusted about this type of vandalism, they con- tinue to participate in the desecration of our school. The reasons given support the idea that people get their kicks out of mak- ing others feel badly about themselves, and everything they ever hoped to accomplish. Maybe if we learned to appreciate the good things that people do and stop criticizing every attempt they make towards a happy and successful life, the world would be a better place. or just about Richard Ridder Lori Riley Shannon Riley Roy Rinker Connie Rishell Teresa Rivenbark Mark Rodeheaver Kristin Rosenberry Susan Ross Jeff Roszell Robert Rounds Brenda Ruff Saba Rush Daina Savage Kim Savage Melvin Savage Misty Savage Connie Schrock Greg Schrock Steve Schrock Tracy Sereno Angie Shafer Joseph Shaffer Lori Shaffer Randall Sheltra Randy Shreve Terry Shreve Crystal Simmons Kim Simpson Anita Sines Crystal Sisler Samuel Sisler Fresh men ¢ 169 Todd Sisler Randall Skeweris Kim Sliger Darren Smith David Smith Doug Smith Mike Smith Tammy Smith Dawn Snyder Phil Spaulding Patty Spencer Jimmy Stemple Melissa Stemple Jay Stewart Ray Stonesifer Larry Streets Carrie Sweitzer David Sweitzer Jeff Sweitzer Lisa Sweitzer Rob Sweitzer Tracy Sweitzer Margaret Swick James Swinson David Taft Cliff Tasker Kim Tasker Roberta Tasker Roger Tasker Teresa Tasker Virginia Tasker Maria Tasker A While in art class, Jimmy Bernard talks seriously with his friends.

It should be allowed to grow and mature with the two people who share it. A friendship must never be restrained by any means, or the love, faith and trust that support it could be severed. Even in death, whether it be one or both, a friendship can live. Keep the memories alive, but don’t let the past haunt you.”’ The above words were written by Alane McCain. Writing was only one form of communication through which she ex- pressed the undisputed pleasure she received from life. Through poetry and art Alane conveyed her appreciation and gratefulness towards life. Southern High School felt a great loss as friends and classmates of Alane were devastated after hearing of her death. She will always be remembered in the hearts of many. A very close friend wrote the following, “When you lose a friend, you feel as though a part of you were missing. It’s amazing how sometimes it takes the death of someone close to you to make you realize just how precious the gift of life really is.”’ It has been expressed by many teachers that Alane was always a very cooperative student. Miss Linda Reeves, art teacher, said, “The death of someone who is close to you or even the death of someone whom you have known only briefly, brings home just how fragile life is. Life is precious and so is every moment in it. Alane, | feel, had a sense of this.” Mrs. Joan Lambert, German instructor, said, ‘‘Alane was always very quiet in Ger- man class except when she was answering questions in German. Sometimes, though, she would write notes to her friends in Ger- man. Seeming to enjoy the secrecy of be- ing able to communicate in a foreign language, she was constantly using her German dictionary to look up new words. If | had to choose one word to describe her, it would be mysterious.” Alane realized that she was not perfect and that she, like everyone else, must always try to improve. In the conclusion of this copy you will read of the wonderfully positive attitude Alane faced life with. ‘| cherish my good points like friendship and happiness. My creativity and imagina- tion are things | could not do without. Sometimes | wonder whether sensitivity and emotions are good or bad. And | think about feelings, loneliness, love, and beau- ty. And I know that | have qualities about which | should be happy. Bad points are meant to be changed and improved. Pro- crastination is a quality that | am sure everyone would be glad to get rid of. Get- ting upset easily is something that I should try to change. Forgetfulness, impatience and thoughtlessness makes people think that you don’t care, But if no one had a bad point about them, what would be the sense of living?”’ Freshmen ¢ 171 172° Feature A Talking before class is a common thing that couples do, and Kim Tephabock and John Nock show how this is true. ¥ Shelia Dove and Rick Bittinger meet in the hall to chat before classes start. 4 A common place to go on a date is to a sporting event. _ Bev Matthews and Mark Cornish take a second to glance at the camera during a home baseball game.

Many. Dating has become one of the most popular things to do during the school year and the summer. Many high school students go to the movies, ar- cades, get something to eat, or just cruise the strip. Everyone likes to go out and have a good time, whether it be a couple or a group. It is nice to have someone to joke around with or talk to. It is no longer a time when a girl sits around and waits for a guy to call, but it is becoming more popular for the girl to call the guy. Guys think it is neat, and girls no longer are as shy. So whether it be a male or female, pick up the phone and give someone a call for a date. Steve Kremer felt, ‘‘When a girl calls a guy to go out these days, it isn’t all that bad, but it does bring up some con- versation. | would like to know why it was so appropriate years ago that the boy be the caller. Some girls are more open when it comes to talking with guys, and sometimes the guy is quiet. Some guys would prefer calling the girl all the time due to their ego. They feel being the caller is more appropriate than being called upon by a girl. All in all in the end it is still a date.”’ Jason Paolucci commented, ‘‘] think it is alright for a girl to ask a guy out because | feel that we have broken away from the olden days when it would have been a taboo. It still might cause some talk, but | think it would be a nice change. ’ Feature 173 Miss Jane B. Avery, English 9-12, Jr. Class Play, Scrab- ble and word games Mr. J.

Instead of getting a three-day vacation, which meant sleeping in late and watching all those cartoons and soaps, you spent the day in the Time Out Center. The Time Out Center, which was located in room 104, was the idea of Mr. Luther D. Parrack, principal, and Mr. Ed Green, former vice-principal. The main purpose of the Center was to keep students in school while doing time for the administration. Unlike suspension, the Center took the misbehaved student our of the regular classroom and into one with strict rules. “The Center seems to be working. Many students who spent even one period in the Center do not want to go back. Many parents have commented that they do not want their child to be kept out of school and get behind in their. work.. In coopera- tion with Mr. Ron Kuhn, the counseling which goes with the time in the Center seems to help in most cases,”’ said vice- principal Miss Henrietta Lease.

You must also obey the rules of the Center and prove you are able to behave in the regular class. You can spend just a period or up to an entire day in the Center. The administration felt there are many advantages to the Center. First, it provided a short-term solution to behavior problems with hope that counseling the effect may be long-term. Second, students could be removed for less than a full day of school. Third, students sent to the office do not just sit there to be seen and to distract visitors. Instead, they are placed in a con- trolled classroom. So, if you felt like skipping a few classes, fighting, going beyond the hand- holding stage with you-know-who, or just decided to misbehave, you should have been prepared to spend time in Time-Out.

If you were one of these people, think back and ask yourself, ‘‘Was my teacher unfair or was | simply unprepared for that test?”’ It might have been that you just did not try hard that term and so you got a low grade. Theresa Sisler said, ‘‘In general, teachers are usually fair. If the student shows effort, the teacher will grade him or her accordingly. When it seems that a teacher isn't fair, the student is usually the cause.” Now put yourself on the line. How many times have you made smart remarks towards teachers, used foul language in their classrooms, or given them a hard time about anything? Do not forget the old saying, ‘Respect your elders.’’ The next time you tell off your teacher, sto p and think, “‘Did he or she really deserve it?” A teacher goes through at least four years of college to get where they are, so let us show them a little respect.

If you were ever in this room, you would know exactly what it looks like. But while its deception tells you that it is just another administrative office, common sense will tell you that in this room sits a very important person, whom without the school could probably not operate to its fullest potential. The person who practically lives in this room takes care of many problems concerning the well-being of Southern High School. Among the major problems, disciplinary difficulties rank very high on the list. It is evident that our school has innumerable disputed feelings about the enforcement of rules. By now, you have probably guessed who this Miss Henrietta Lease, Vice-Principal significant person is. Well, if not, it is Miss Henrietta Lease, the newly appointed vice- principal. She stated, ‘‘l enjoyed the challenges | have faced this year. It was a year of many firsts for me in this occupation. It will make me better prepared for next year. | think that it was an OK year.” Although the loss of Mr. Ed Green as our vice-principal was felt by every member of the student body, we must realize that duty calls in- termittently and that when it does, it is time to move on! In order to have a great reputation we will all have to do our share to keep the school in the up and up. There is no way it can be done unless we all work together in a joint effort. We hope that next year all school officials will con- tinue united with us.

The presentation of a musical is a fairly new form of entertainment for the Oakland area. Miss Jane Avery, an English teacher and class play director at Southern High School, once again helped make a big hit by adding her talent in directing. Mrs. Nan- cy Learey, a form er chorus director at Southern, aided with the musical aspect of the production. Mr. Ben Sincell helped create A Night Of Magic by designing the scenery and arranging lighting for different scenes. The result of all of this was four sell out audiences, very enthusiastic and impressed with the affects of the final product. When asked how he would sum up his feelings about his participation in Fiddler On The Roof, Mr. Lowell Leitzell, a teacher, replied, ‘‘The preparation for the production was a very difficult, trying ex- perience. Despite the fatigue caused by the late hours, | enjoyed being a part of Fiddler On The Roof because it was fun. | learned a lot about myself and about how to work cooperatively with other people in order to achieve a goal. The experience of living as a Russian Jew in Anatevka for a few weeks is one that | will never forget.”’ Miss Jane Avery, a teacher, com- mented, “I can’t really distinguish one highlight — maybe the production itself or sell out crowds all four nights or the tears that | saw on faces in the audience or just working with the warm, wonderful cast and crew.” Giving Mr. Lowell Leitzel a kopek is Mr. Fred Leary. 180 Community “Dancing for joy at the local bar is Fred Ridder, Larry | WMr. Terry Wolfe, teacher at Southern, contemplates Miller, and Chris Bock, students at Southern. his beloved. “Because she does not want to marry the butcher, A‘‘I hear they've picked a bride for me...’’ sings Mr. Richard Morris comforts his daughter Kathy Helbig.

In the past year, three arcades have been added to Oakland. Before this, the on- ly place to go on a date was to the movies, out to eat, or to a football or basketball game. What happened when the seasons were over for those sports? You could cruise the town and waste gas, but who can afford that? Now that Quarterflash, the first one to be put into action, Becky’s and Mooses have been added to the town, you have a wider selection of where to go and what to do when you go out. Rick Bittinger said, ‘‘l enjoy going into the arcades when there isn’t anything to do on a week night in Oakland.” You can find a number of young people in these arcades, but you can find as many old also. Most people enjoy trying to beat the high score on games like Pac-Man, Centipede, Donkey Kong, and many others. When asked what he liked about work- ing in Quarterflash, Dave Corbell said, “‘It’s interesting, and | think it’s fun working there.”’ A Dave Tressler looks very wrapped up in playing Donkey Kong.

The days become numbered so that life becomes shorter. Everyday, one day less to live. To relive each day is unthinkable, but to remember and cherish each day is a need that everyone must acquire. Our memories hold forth a new beginning and a remembrance of days gone by. Now time has caught up with us. Our high school life is becoming shorter as our open world adventures become longer and more visible. Each day brings new challenges and goals to each and every one of us. We must reach out and grasp our hopes while still Keeping in step with reality. Soon, we will be leaving twelve years of our school life behind. We must leave so we will be able to reach higher towards the stars and look deeper into our inner selves. Our knowledge will glisten while our ex- periences broaden. Fach year everyone experiences the rude awakening that time has quickly swept by. The days are now gone, never to be returned. We must now face the lost and lonesome reality that our youth is gone forever. We will never be able to renew the past, only remember it. But what new and adventurous goals lie ahead? Will the time that has been spent preparing for the future become dark and dim with unending passages leading to unknown destinations? Only time will tell what the future holds for each of us. It is a mystery which can only be solved when the time is right. School life, twelve years of hard work and dedication, can help to achieve the goals which everyone dreams and strives for. It is used as building blocks for the future. It is a solid and trustful foundation in which dreams, hopes, and goals are to be built. So keep reaching for the limits. The universe is yours but always remember the past. Better things have past, bu t the best is yet to come. 222 ¢ Closing V It is finally the last day of school, and Tom Stem and Curtis Friend wait outside the door for the first bell of the day to ring. Perea V It seems that a student can never study enough for a test or final, and Derrick Latin looks over his notes to refresh his memory. V Taking it easy is something that Mark Cornish can do quite well. t A Summer has arrived, and you cannot help wonder- ing if that is what Tim ‘‘Bear”’ Sisler has on his mind. Closing 223 Old and Wise As far as my eyes can see There are shadows approaching me And to those we left behind | wanted you to know You ve always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go And oh when I'm old and wise Bitter words mean little to me Autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they asked me if | knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those | leave behind | want you all to know You've always shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when | go And oh, when I’m old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like Autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine. “OLD AND WISE” written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons (c) 1982 Woolfsongs Ltd. and Careers Music, Inc.
