Vision this: the roar of an excited crowd cheering for the victory of their home team while the band plays a fight song, the thrill of pre- paring for the Homecoming dance or the annual prom. High school life is filled with excitement, a lot of hard work, and determination to achieve each person’s desired goal. From the last day of school to the beginning, Southern students know how to have fun whether they spend it on Deep Creek Lake or at their favorite recreation spot. They know how to prepare for the annual county events like the Garrett County Fair or the fun and frolic of the Old Fashioned Days celebration for the Fourth of July. These events involve the whole community and bring their unique interests togeth- er for the entire county to enjoy. When September first hit, the moans and groans were heard throughout the halls as everyone prepared to embark on a brand new school year filled with wonder and concern on what a new year would involve. For the freshmen, as it has always been, the first day was filled with the overall excitement of a brand new school with new ideas and people. Everything is so differ- ent that wonder fills the minds of the new underclassmen. But in a matter of a few days the excitement dies down and everyone begins to settle into their daily routine of school life and school days. Taking Part nA New Beginning Opening 3 What about me? ... is a look Brian Dixon gives between classes. Studying can be fun as Chad King demon- strates during Driver’s Ed. class. 4 Opening The school year came off with a bang as the Southern Ram football team rallied all the way to state coats, the girls volleyball ‘team opened up the school year with a successful season, and the members of the golf team were able to participate in their first-time trip to the state playoffs. Many students were involved in all the spirit days as the determination of the athletic ‘and extra activities were held throughout the year. _ Giving her outlook of life at Southern, Kelly Green quoted, “I think that my four years at South- ern were, overall, good. When I started as a freshman, I felt like | Southern was everything. I guess I felt like that because I was so little. As I progressed on, as a sophomore and junior, the school feeling I had, started to decline. I was just in the middle and just another face in the crowd. But now as a senior, I love the school atmosphere and espe- cially the people. This year has been a good year, and I feel like as an individual I’ve matured rapidly. Thanks to my friends, they have made my senior year special.” The halls of Southern, filled with the ideas and thoughts of those in- volved, keeps everyone taking part In a new beginning.

Many citizens seem mystified that a good time exists in Garrett County. Dodging this issue does not change anything. So in our great destitu- tionalized search for dazzel, gleam, luster, sparkle, we found many en- tergetic and spirited people who are also in pursuit of excellence. Here are a few of their contributions (at least the ones fit to publish): Lynn Welch (senior): go cruisin’ for men, jam out the top 40 tunes and whatever else comes up, go to games and check out the jocks. Steve Bennett (junior): What do you think? CENSORED Dave McLaughlin (junior): “ Wayne Dixon (junior): “ 2 Cathy Junkins (senior): Go to the games, hang out and run the halls with Nancy Paugh, Theresa Sisler and Lynn Welch. Two unidentified seniors who are afraid of being intimidated: Go muddin and crashing three wheelers, cruise Hecks, go to County Club Mall and check out the men. Jimmy Freeman (senior): smiled. Nancy Paugh (Senior): punk-out, Just Up to their usual tactics of goofing off, Dave McLaughlin and Steve Bennett prove that two heads are better than one. cruise punk-style, party. Lisa Proulx (senior): Run my par- ent’s car into a tree. Theresa Sisler (senior): Dream of the future, get lost in the wonder of it, fall in love, and party. Jeff Beeman (senior): Cruise in my Bird, go party’n. If those who find fun are childish and foolish, they are also full of the intent to demonstrate that this county is full of opportunities for an extravagantly dreamy atmo- sphere if you just reach out for it and take the risk of being Filled with Infantile Radience.

Feature 7 The 1983 Football Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Girls Athle- tic Association, was held on Septem- ber 30, 1983, in the school cafeteria. The band Slowpoke provided enter- tainment for the night from 9:00- 12:00 p.m. Refreshments for the dance included chips, cake, mints, and punch. This year’s theme was selected in honor of Bonnie Tyler’s song Total Eclipse of the Heart. Members of this dazzling affair that were named The Homecoming Court were: Patrick Germain, crown bearer; Hillary Garris, flower girl; ninth grade princess Wendy Bose- ly and her escort Scott Lohr; tenth grade princess Liz Burdock and her escort Mike Weimer; eleventh grade princess Renee Sharpless and escort Steve Bennett; twelfth grade prin- cesses Wendy Beitzel and Tracy Im- hoff, escorts Jay Marple and Jimmy Freeman, and 1983 Homecoming Queen Dawn Shafer and her escort Chris Foley. Each princess was presented a rose and the queen was presented with a sparkling bouquet of roses provided by Flowers by Webers. Because of rain, the Homecoming Football game was cancelled with Keyser and rescheduled on Monday, October 3. But do not despair, the mighty Rams defeated the Golden Tornadoes by a score of 16 to 7. When football player Steve Ben- nett was asked his views about the evening, he stated, “It was a boring evening because the football game was not before the dance. I think they handled the Homecoming Court very unprofessionally. It would have been better if they would have had a D.J. instead of a band.” It was quite a different story when we asked the queen, Dawn Shafer, what she thought about the dance. She re- plied “It was a really great evening even though the game was can- celled.” eS Se Queen Dawn Shafer and escort Chris Foley dance to the theme song. 8 Homecoming Total Eclipse, Of The Heart’ Enjoying the ents during the 1D80n and Tracy Wats oNecoming Dance, JR 0n fing Telief at the Punch bow].

Whether it’s preparing for important community events such as Autumn Glory or the Garrett County Fair, or just school ac- tivities like band, football, or partici- pating in the Junior or Senior class plays, students of Southern know how to get the job done and done right. Student life is filled with the com- ing and going of many different types of people. Whether they prefer spend- ing their evenings studying, spending it with friends at the movies, or party- ing, the unique choices are individual and special in their own right. A stu- dent not only has to devote their time with their head in the books they must also spend it looking into the future. For many seniors this is the final chance to enjoy the fun of high school life but for the freshmen class it’s the beginning of the fun of high school and all its enjoyable times. The boys of Southern like to spend a lot of their time discussing the latest in sports and sporting equipment and the latest in automotive needs, while girls like to discuss the latest fashion designs and what is the latest scoop on the soaps. No matter what your taste is, Southern is filled with all the different types rolled into one. When asked for opinions of her high school life, junior Criss Kepple stated, “I think Southern spirit could improve. I think it will take all stu- dents and faculty to promote the spir- it of Southern.’ Criss was also quoted on what Southern students do to have fun. She said, “Although there isn’t much to do in Garrett County, South- ern students always seem to have a good time. Movies, pizza, football and basketball games are always favor- ites.” So take a look around and you will notice how all the differences are able to come together and become one group of small town students who are willing to give it exactly what it takes.

Garrett County’s 16th annual Autumn Glory Festival began Wednesday, October 12, 1983, with a kick-off reception at the Will O’the Wisp and ended with a square dance at Southern Middle School on Sunday, October 16th. Autumn Glory actually began in August when the queen and her court were chosen. The pageant was held Saturday, August 27. The cate- gories that the 12th grade girls from all around the county competed in were: individual talents, swimsuit, and evening gown. _ The winner of this year’s pageant was Nancy Brotemarkle from Cum- berland. She presided over a major- ity of the events during Autumn Glory and represented Garrett County in the Miss Maryland pag- 5a h ng ine bring: é - eant in the summer of 1984. Since Nancy Brotemarkle is from Allegany County, many people felt the same way as Brandon Seifert stated. “In the past, Miss Autumn Glory has been from Garrett Coun- ty, although some have tried from Allegany County. None have re- ceived this Honor from Allegany County. “IT personally think that Miss Garrett County should be from Garrett County and the contest limited to those girls residing in Garrett County!” When Amy White was asked if a girl from Allegany County should be permitted to run for Miss Gar- rett County, she replied, “NO!” I think someone local should repre- sent Garrett County during the Au- tumn Glory Festival and also for Miss Maryland.” Fall Festival Controversy Autumn Glory 13 PREVENT SMOKEY Smokey the Bear waves to the crowd on a float provided by Maryland’s Department of Natu- ral Resources.

By September I was running the 10-kilometers 3 times a week try- ing to improve my time,” said Mr. William Freyman, the drafting teacher here at Southern High School. After his participation in the Pepsi 10-kilometer Race, he said, “T really enjoyed it. It was the first time I have competed in 20 years. “Next year I plan to race again to break the time I had this year of 40 minutes and 10 seconds.” Mr. William Freyman finished 17th out of approximately 52 run- ners. Naylor’s parking lot brought out the country in all who attend- ed the square dance. It occurred before the traditional Grand Fea- ture Parade went down 2nd street at 2 o’clock. Kim Stowell, president of Fu- ture Homemakers of America, who rode on the FHA float, said, “T think being in a parade is a fun experience. You can see lots and lots of people all the way through the parade. If you rode on a float like I did, you can wave at all your friends. Before the parade started, all of the floats had to be judged. We were in our positions and ner- vous when they judged us. Even though we did not win anything we all had fun.

And Taking It To The Top | | We’ve Got What It Takes Take a look around you, I mean a good look around the hallowed halls of Southern and what do you see? Well, for some you would probably see a building filled with meaningless rooms, a place where someone only spends part of their day. For others you are able to see a place where the future is being planned and the past is filled with wonderful memories of fun and frolic of high school days gone by. The memories of victoried and de- feats are the main ingredients of growing up. To each, high school life is responsible for many differ- ent feelings and with each of these comes the basis for an exciting school year. Each person has their own way of learning and the ambitious individ- ual ideas and goals show through in the abilities of each individual. High school life is filled with happi- ness, sadness, good times and bad. The time in one’s life when they begin to find out who they really are and what their future holds for them is a very special part of high school. It is a time to make lasting relationships and a time to build for the future of all involved. It is a time when everything you do coun- teracts with everything you feel. When asked what he liked about Southern, freshman Jim Butscher stated, “I like the Athletic program and the facilities for the athletes at Southern. I think school spirit is not too bad but the school is in need of a lot of changes both inside and Cul Senior Cathy Junkins had this to say about her years at Southern, “I will never forget all the great times at school. To me everything and ev- eryone has been great. It has given me time to expand and express who I really am. I have grown both in- side and out. I can not wait to see how all my friends in the lower grades grow and learn all the won- derful things that high school life, and people, will teach them.” The things that go on inside Southern are unique in their own right. Whether it is the excitement of a game, the thrill of a dance, or fun of dating that special person, each person is able to choose their own way of life. Everyone is able to take their choices and take them to the top. Opening 17 ey z 18 Feature Seawe = | A “Thriller” of a man, Michael Jackson is the new heart-throb of America and the world. From the first British invasion in the early sixties to the present, Paul McCartney has been on top of the music industry. Fabulous Faces Why is it that everyone is telling us to cut Footloose, go ahead and Jump, when it can only be Against All Odds. Music is the backbone of modern society. Different people combine to bring us a universe filled with action and sound. From 1983 until present, most of the chartbound music has come with the second British invasion. In 1964 the Beatles hit America with the first invasion that became the basis for our modern music. The most popular of the new invaders is Boy George. Deciding to have an image of long braided hair, fresh feminine make-up, and a sensible wardrobe has sky-rocketed Boy George and Culture Club to the top of the music charts. Another man who has left his mark on the history books of rock and roll is Michael Jackson. Mi- chael, at the age of twenty-five, with and without his brothers, has made a major contribution to the music of our life. Michael adds the heart-pounding mastery of lively dance steps, se- quened costumes, an a voice that leaves a memory in your mind. All of these combined has boosted Mi- chael and his top selling album, Thriller, to the very core of music history. A avid fan of Michael Jackson and Boy George is Chris Savage. Giving her views of her favorite guys, Chris quoted, “Michael is the most wonderful person on the face of this earth. His singing and in- credible dance techniques gives people joy, excitement, and opens their imagination. When I see him on T.V. it makes me feel like I am in a magical world full of loving peo- ple doing wonderful things.” On Boy George Chris added, “He has got a lot of courage to dress up as he does. He gets attention that he would not have if it was not for the image he has created, he is incredi- ble.” Videos have also increased in popularity. The combination of act- ing out the feelings of a song is a new breakthrough in the world of music.

So, no matter if you prefer the hard rocking sounds of Ozzy Os- bourne or AC-DC, the mellow sounds of Phil Collins or Lionel Ri- chie, or modern beat of Michael Jackson or Boy George, you can be sure your preference will always be around.

For the first time _in five years, the skies over the ski area ' were clear of clouds, and the hill was cov- ered with snow. All of the activities went successfully thanks to the great conditions. Mike Webster and Mark Malone, players for the Pittsburgh Steelers, were the spe- cial guests who attended. In an interview with Cathy Junkins, a WXIJE disk jockey, _ Mark Malone was asked how he felt about | Winterfest XI, he quoted, “I really enjoyed the friendly people in Garrett County. See- ing people come from Pittsburgh and Gar- ' rett County get together for an event like this gave me a warm feeling. I intend on coming to another Winterfest in Garrett County in the future.” Allan Rosson, a local escape artist, per- formed a Houdini Act for everyone. He es- | caped from a straitjacket while suspended from a rafter upside down. He performed this feat more than once during the Win- | terfest. The festivities began Friday afternoon, : March 23, with the Wisp’s Scholastic Race. Students from several high and middle schools participated, and again Southern took the school trophy. When asked how he felt about Winter- fest XI, Billy Hesen quoted, “I thought this year’s Winterfest was very exciting and full of fun. There was never a dull moment.” Patiently waiting for the lifts to start up, Brandon Seifert prepares for a day of skiing activities. Winterfest 21 ‘Monta Vista’ Made The Dance Besides having a live band for the night, Dave Scott acted as the D.J. The theme song chosen for the evening was Time Will Reveal by Debarge. The dance, which was held in the cafeteria, was decorated with the theme colors of gray and pink. There were the usual refreshments of cake, nuts, and punch for the night. A lot of students who had never at- tended a Southern dance before were very impressed. As one freshmen stat- ed, “The dance was great and I really had a fun time going to it. I hope they keep having the homecoming dance.” Not all students attending the dance for the first time were from Southern. As one out-of-school guest said, “I was really impressed with the dance. Hav- ing the live band really made it better than any of our dances.” Feeling for the night was summed up by Queen Karen Hamilton. When asked about her opinion of the dance and being crowned Homecoming Queen, she said, “The Homecoming Dance was a great success. I think who- ever attended the dance really enjoyed themselves. It was a great honor to be crowned Queen. The live band really highlighted the dance as did the decora- tions and refreshments. Overall, I think the Homecoming Dance was a great success”.

Basketball Homecoming 23 Homecoming - A Big Success Homecoming came in with a big bounce this year. It was the the sixth annual Basketball Homecoming for Southern students. The dance had an unusally big turnout from past years. With an approximate number of seven- ty-five students attending the dance, it was the largest turnout ever. Some reasons for the success of the dance, as Kim DeBerry stated, “Setting a limit to the number of people who can attend a dance sometimes makes the attendance greater. Another reason could be the selecting of a princess from each graduating class.” Though it was a success, the money earned from the dance was just enough to cover what was spent. Student Coun- cil, which sponsored the dance, spent $201.60 on food, decorations, and enter- tainment for the night. There was an addition to the enter- tainment for the night from past dances. The addition was a live band, Monta Vista. The response to the band was overwhelming as Criss Kepple said, “T felt homecoming was a great success. The band, Monta Vista, really added to the overall atmosphere of the dance and the music was great.” Another person who was impressed by the band was Jimmy Freeman. He said, “It was better than other dances because of the band. I would go again.” Sophomore princess Margaret Swick with escort Shawn Garner. 24 Basketball Homecoming Senior princess Lynn Welch dancing with Trying to get boyfriend Mark Younkin to escort Verne Leininger. smile is Melody Flinn A happy senior princess Tracy Polce with escort Steve Kremer. Basketball Homecoming 25 Where's The Money? One extravagantly dreamy night, when moving on to steel guitars and tropical breezes was in, the Senior Class cast and crew of 1984 pulled off the stunning production of a comedy in three acts, none other than Spinoff. With bottle in hand and laughter in mouth Shawn Garner shows us that he still has what it takes to thrill the crowd. After completing the technical work, Verne Lein- inger, Brandon Seifert and David Stonesifer de- cide to take it easy. 26 Sr. Class Play The play involved two bank ex- ecutives who stole money from the bank and planned to flee to Rio. Little did they realize that the money itself was missing. This mis- fortune led to many amusing situa- tions. Of course, in the end they all discover that life had more peace and contentment to offer them just the way it is. The setting was in the grand ole living room of the Coltons and the appetite of the cast and crew ranged from fertilizer pellets to bologna to cold sardines. The Senior cast performed the en play for students on March 2 and 5 and for the public on March 2 and. 3. Preparations for the play began’ back in January with tryouts. After. tryouts, practice was held every) night after school and during the: evenings. On February 28, technical night was held. There was no audi. ence but the actors went through) the whole thing as if there really were. Dress rehearsal was held the next day. The curtains are now closed be-� cause the spotlight for the 1984 | stars has dimmed. But the memo- | ries will never fade. | { Telling another big one to Amy Bittinger, Troy Lunquist proves that he still has the talent to make people laugh.

Looks like a minor catastrophe Carla Beckman and Shawn Garner. 28 Sr. Class Play There was no one who could possible have told about all the problems and victories that the Senior Class Play encountered better than the cast and crew themselves. When asking some of the cast about the problems, one member started by saying, “I really don’t feel that the play itself was writ- ten well to begin with. But after rewriting a few scenes we seemed to add a great deal of excitment and comedy. If we would have put on the play the way it was written, I feel it would have been a com- plete disaster. Not only was the script a major cause for all our problems, but choosing crew members was something to be de- sired. But all in all, our efforts seemed to have payed off.” Actor Shawn Garner comment- ed, “The play was a lot of work and very time consuming. At times I wished I had never tried out. But I know from last year’s experience that when it was all over, I would wish it wasn’t. I en- joyed working with Mr. Shaffer. He is a good director and we couldn’t have gotten any where without him. All of the cast were fun to work with even though we had some rough times.” While in the beginning, many Disaster Brings Forth Success felt they were wasting their time, they all realized that behind every trial stalks a bright new horizon. As Fred Ridder reaches for the drink that Carla Beckman has just offered him, he remembers that his hands are not really his hands. Senior Class Play cast.

Picture a hot, tropical island, palm trees swaying in a cool breeze, as native girls and Navy men roam about. Could this be a product of your vivid imagina- tion? Of course not, it was South Pacific. South Pacific was a creation of Rogers and Hammerstein about a Naval base lo- cated in the South Pacific island of Bali H’Ai during World War II. It depicts a double love story between Ensign Nellie Forbush, played by Roslyn France, and a French planter, Ensign De Becque, por- trayed by Dave Callis. The other lovers were native girl, Lait, and Lieutnant Joe Cable. Jennifer White portrayed Lait, and Joe Cable was played by Leonard Eiswert. Showing the interaction be- tween the crew of the Navy and the na- tive of the South Pacific island, Southern High School English Teacher, Miss Jane Avery, added a spice of comedy as she portrayed Bloody Mary, the local Ton- kinese huckster, an undisputed matron of the enchanted island, Bali H’ai. South Pacific was the production of The Garrett Choral Society. South Pacif- ic was the third major production by the Garrett Choral Society and was under the direction of Nancy Leary. Other credits to the Choral Society included the 1981 production of Oliver, and the 1982 production of Fiddler on the Root. The performances were held on June 7, 8, and 9 with evening shows, and on Sun- day, June 10 with an afternoon mantinee. The preformances were held in the cafe- torium of Southern High School. South Pacific involved approximately one hun- dred individuals in the cast and crew. Adding the Southern High School spirit to the production were some teach- ers, students, and alumni of Southern. Among them were French Teacher, Low- ell Leitzel, who portrayed a saebee, Pri- vate Suen Larsen, who was played by Shawn Garner, who also participated in the Junior and Senior class plays and also acted in the 1982 production of Fid- dler on the Roof along with other cast members of South Pacific. Other familiar members were radio operator Bob McCaffrey, played by Bob Groves, and Erica Carlson who added her talent as English Cora McRae. The one lady who gives her all whether in the class room or on the stage, Jane Avery, gave the audi- ence an outstanding proformance as Bloody Mary. She was also the assistant director to Nancy Leary. (continued on p. 33) DSS RGR ST Ee ETE LD OE I TTA Jenny White, Len Eiswert, David Callis, and Jane Avery have an argument over the mar- riage.

Mike Hale-Cooper, Shawn Garner, and Dick Morris clowning around for the Thanksgiving show. ‘A True Labor Of Love, Energy, And Time’ (continued from page 31) Miss Jane Avery said, “‘People who don’t understand the theater some- times ask, ‘Isn’t it kind of dumb to put all of that time and money into something that’s only going to last four days?’ These skeptics don’t real- ize that the experiences for the cast, crew, and audience far surpass the physical, emotional, and financial in- vestments. A musical is a true labor of love, energy, and time; its benefits are pride, friendships, understand- ing, enjoyment, and applause.” Nancy Leary, the founder of The Garrett Choral Society, and the di- rector of the production South Pacif- ic, added a talent and guidance far beyond the limits. Though many of the participants had never applied make-up, set up props, or even acted in front of an audience, they summed up all of their energy to portray their parts worthy of the many hours at rehear- sel they put into the play. So it is hats off to the cast and crew of the 1984 production of the Garrett Cho- ral Society, South Pacific. Even though no one who watched left with a fantastic tropical tan, they were able to witness a performance that will remain in their hearts forever. Southern sophomore, Rhonda Bennett, said, ‘““Being in a musical for the first time was quite an exper- ience. It took a lot of time, money, and effort on my part, and many times I wished that I never would have gotten involved. Rehearsing night after night, sometimes for 4-5 hours each, made it rough. Some- times, I didn’t get home until after 12. It made me extremely tired for the next school day. Homework suf- fered and chores were left for others, but when the lights came on and the excitement filled the air as the cur- tain rolled up, it was great!” South Pacific 33 Puttin’ On The Ritz Decisions, decisions, decisions. Where, when, what time, how long, music, colors, flowers, theme, food, and finally the queen and her escort. These are a few of the many tasks that the junior class prom committee had to un- dertake to create the best prom that Southern ever had. Bills, bills, bills. The junior class had $3,000 to spend on the prom this year which limited them on what they could do. But, never fear, they came through. The band was chosen, the colors 34 Prom Feature were decided upon, the decora- tions were bought, and even through it all, the obstacles had just begun. When asked just how much work the organizing of the prom was, one junior replied, “It’s a dirty job but someone had to do ities One problem the committee faced was enough teachers to chaperone. But the teachers came through. A total of 15 teachers at- tended. The prom committee consisted of president John Leininger; vice- president Chris Oliverio; secretary Sara Roberson; treasurer Wendy Grove and advisors Miss Jane Avery and Mr. Steve Cosner. Treasurer Wendy Grove stated, “Preparation for prom was much more difficult that I ever expect- ed. Even the most minor details had to be considered and attended to. Everything from the band down to the centerpieces had to be thought out and fit into the junior class budget. I think that prom turned out to be a great success and now we can just sit back and wait for next year’s juniors to give us a nice prom.” Tracy Shaffer and Amanda Wilt make sure all the prom booklets are done correctly.

Prom Feature 35 A Night In Camelot... This was the theme chosen for the Junior-Senior Prom of 1984. As usual the Junior Class of Southern created this magical night of May 12, 1983. Decorations were just one way in which magic was added to the even- ing. Camelot’s forest, along with green dragons, Knights in armor and their sheilds, helped to enhance the mood of Camelot to this evening. An- other impressive decoration for the night was the changing of the stage into a castle. The stage was decorated to provide a place for the band, Sier- ra, to play. Reactions to the band were all 36 Prom very good. As one Senior stated, “The band was alot better than last year’s band. I was really impressed with the whole prom and how good a job the Juniors did.” It was apparent how good a job the Juniors did by the high attendance of people for the night. The atten- dance of two-hundred and fifty peo- ple was much larger than last year’s attendance of one-hundred and eighty people. To attend Prom stu- dents had to sign up at the main lob- by before and after school. Because of this more people were able to sign up and attend the Prom.

The prom changed loca- tions from Alpine Lake in West Virgina to the Wisp Ski Lodge at Deep Creek Lake. As one senior said, “I think the change was real- ly smart because it’s in Garrett County which is alot closer than West Virgina.” To put on the prom took many months of planning to change the Ski Lodge into an enchanted for- est. Some of the planning included a very tight budget which had to cover all costs of prom. The main costs for prom were for the food, renting of the lodge and band. The food was purchased and prepared from a menu pro- vided by Martin Heise. The food included Sweedish meatballs, cookies, punch and a fruit and cheeze arrangement. Seniors also helped with the prom by choosing of the themes. The theme colors chosen were pink and grey. The flower chosen was the carnation. The Seniors yoda { % also chose the Prom Queen.

Prom 39 The Final Close Once again the year came to an end and the gymnasium is set up for the graduation ceremony. This year the class of ’84 waited and waited for this day to approach them. Some say the day came too soon, others say it could have came a lot sooner. The class of ’84 was a class of achievers. The students were ones who knew what was going on and kept up with the latest. This was a class that wanted the people to say what a well- behaved class the Class of ’84 was. Of course there were some faults that fell in line of the seniors, but what is a sen- ior year without any mishaps. The senior class consisted of those students who wanted a lot of things out of life and those who just wanted to pass to get away from the rules and teachers. When Theresa Sisler was asked how she felt about graduating this year, she stated, “Being a senior in the Class of 84 gives me a certain sense of pride because our class does have the poten- tial to be anything it wants to be. I just hope that as the years pass we take ad- vantage of the wonderful life that God has given us.” CDS BS 2 a BD ED John Paul Marple looks over his award when he approaches the platform. 40 Graduation Feeling proud, Laura Lowers receives her After the process of graduation, Lisa Carter award. poses a fake smile of happiness.

The Final Close As the year went by, students were being watched very closely by the faculty and administration. The out- come of this hawk-eye action granted some students the honor and priv- ledge of being recipients of awards. The two most important awards of graduation, Valedictorian and Salu- torian, were given to Class president, Verne Leininger receiving Valedicto- rian and to Gregg Flinn receiving Sa- lutorian. Many other awards were handed out to various students. The Lion’s Club Awards had various awards go- ing out to students of numerous pro- grams throughout the school. Voca- tional Advisory Awards were given to those students exemplyfying work quality and quantity- attitude and habits. There also many others awards given the graduating seniors. At the time, Wendy Beitzel was asked how she felt about getting out of great Southern High School, she answered, “I’m sort of glad to be get- ting away from all the work but, on the other hand, I’m already missing not going to school and being with my friends. I wish I could go back and do my senior year all over again.” This year’s graduating seniors will be missed at Southern High School. The best of luck to Class of ’84 and to their future of furthering their edu- cation. As Dr. Jerome Ryscavage presents her with her diploma, Kristi Bowling looks relieved.

Parrack. 44 Feature Practice does make perfect, when it comes to the Seniors of Southern High School. That is why each year the graduating class practices the graduation exercises. The students rehearse the event so it will be pic- ture perfect for the big day. Alot of the students thought it was a really good idea, as one stu- dent commented, “I like the idea. I want to practice so that I don’t fall flat on my face.” The students also liked it because it was their last few days of school. But most of all they liked it because it gave them a chance to be together, and have some fun. Lynn Welch and Nancy Paugh commented, “We thought it was cool having everyone together like that. The way we were all carrying on, laughing and having fun. But when we really had to sit down and start getting serious, it sort of got boring.” This gives the students a great opportunity to get together with their friends and classmates to have some fun and laughs. But for some people it is the last chance they will ever really see one another. But for others, they will be together for- ever. Anxiously awaiting the big day is Jeff Meyers and Colin Miller.

A Basis Of Life The Greeks always thought that a whole person was one who could be educated and perform feats of athletic strength and indurance. Many champions were created from the days of the Greeks and what they used as a tool, our generation uses as a basis of life. Sports are a major part in the life of a high school student. It can be a source of recreation, but to some it is a beginning of a career. Many endure long, hard, stren- eous hours of practice while learning the major skills needed to perform at their best. The time is used vigor- ously and the outcome is a breath of refreshment in itself. In our society girls and boys are competing in the wide world of sports. Whether it is volleyball, football, baseball, or softball, each individual is trained to put forth an effort as great as they can. The final goal is when you are able to taste the thrill of vistory.

Division Page 47 It Was Worth All Of The Work “A lot of work was put into the 1983 season before and during, and although it did not pay-off in a State Championship, it was certainly nothing to be ashamed of!”, was Mark Younkin’s opinion of the Var- sity football season this year. Broken records set by Dave Ter- rant and Steve Bennett benefited a great deal towards Southern’s victo- ries. With the help of dependable blocking from Terrant’s teammates, he was able to cut through Beall’s defense for 264 yards on 38 carries. This broke the record set years back, by Paul Cornish, with 260 yards on 40 carries. Dave was also presented with the Most Valuable Player Award received at the Northern- Preparing to go into the game, Troy Lund- quist waits patiently on the sidelines. Southern game. He rushed for 158 yards and one touchdown. Breaking another of Southern’s re- cords was Steve Bennett, who had twelve interceptions throughout the season. The Ram’s defense was known as The Red Rush. This group of boys contributed highly to the team, mak- ing it difficult for the opposing teams to score. A result of this was the Ram’s four shut-outs, against Tucker County, Bruce, Beall, and Northern. The Ram football team was happy with their regular season record of 9- 1, and was ready for their play-off game against Poolesville Indians. They were then well aware that all of the work was worth it. 48 Varsity Football Looking foreard to a big victory is Jay Mar- ple.

TO THE PLAY-OFFS AGAIN With the support of the Southern Garrett Athletic Association, and the strong ability of the team, the South- ern Rams were able to compete in the Region 1 Class C Play-offs for the third time in five years. The game took place at Poolesville, Maryland, against the Poolesville Indians. Al- though the Rams were defeated by the Indians 20-8, they were very hap- py that they had made it to the play- offs once again. A result of a 9-1 record and a chance at the State Play-offs was well deserved by the team. They spent many long hours practicing, watching films, running, and lifting weights, as well as a summer work- shop for preparation. A big contribution to the Rams victories this year was from the help and good sportsmanship of the twelve seniors. They were: Jay Mar- ple, Troy Lundquist, Chris Foley, Danny Clark, Tim Tharp, Jim Free- man, Dave Terrant, John Thayer, Mark Younkin, Scott Germain, Clark Reams, and Jeff Beeman. Along with a fine season and a well played game at the State Play-offs, the Rams were also named to the H.F.C. Championships. Assistant coach Fred Gregg stated, “T thought we had a very successful season, but naturally we were disap- pointed that we didn’t do better in the State Play-offs. But, I suppose we should feel grateful that we made it to the State Play-offs.” Varsity Football 51 Even though Junior Varsity foot- ball players did not have a winning season, the team felt that they gained some valuable experience. Mostly made up of rookies, the team tried their hardest to make the Ram’s season a victorious one. Coached by Mr. Jim Bosley and Mr. Mike Green, the boys were weaned into their first year of serious football. The adjustments from Youth League to high school ball were many as Jim Butscher ex- plained. “Youth League was much less competitive and although prac- tices were regular, they cannot com- pare to those for JV Football. Prac- ticing with Varsity was rough but gave us a chance to really gain some experience from the Varsity play- ers.” The players enjoyed traveling to out-of-town games as well as hosting their own with home-field advan- tages. They would have liked a little more support from the fans at home, though. Coach Mike Green stated, “The fans we had were very supportive, I just wish there were more of them. In the future we hope to see more peo- ple pushing the team to victory.” Row 1: Mike Carr, Wayne Moyer, Jim Butscher, Jim Metz, Mark Knotts, Scott Lohr, Tommy Smith, Chester Friend.

They played many good teams during the season but in a few games there were not enough points scored to beat their opponent. Many people were disappointed about the season itself. When Scott Stem, a junior forward, was asked how he felt about the season, he said, “The season as a whole was a total disappointment for me, personally I was really looking forward to College Park. The team had the talent but lacked wanting to win together.” Even though our team did not make it to College Park, they did make it to the first couple of rounds in the play-offs. The team had much potential and determination but the Rams did not have the season without injuries to key players. When Coach Oren Yoder was asked how he felt about the season, he said, “The Rams lack of experience and loss of key players due to injuries were major factors contributing to a disappointing sea- son.” This was Oren Yoder’s second year as the head Varsity coach for the Rams. He had helped in winning many games during both seasons. The coach and players deserve a lot of credit for attempting to give our school a good name. Varsity Basketball 55 Rams Out Score Opponents 56 Varsity Basketball Jim Freeman lead the Rams this year with 273 points. His average was 12.5 points per game. Scott Stem was next with 268. Scott aver- aged 18 points per game, since he played only 15 games due to a knee injury. Along with Wayne Dixon, these three had the highest point totals this season. Scott Stem said, “Having the highest points per game average was a team accomplishment. I cred- it all the people around me for helping me reach this feat.” Southern scored 1413 points this season while only giving away 1362 | points. The team had a 61.4 average | with opponents obtaining only a 59.2 point average per game. Mr. Oren Yoder and Mr. David Bender coached the team. Coach | Yoder lead his team to the play-offs and proved he had adapted well to | the coaching position. Junior Wayne Dixon commented, “T enjoyed the Basketball season very much. I hated to see my team- mate and good friend hurt his knee. Since he was hurt, we learned to play more as a team. I only hope we can continue to play as a team.” ‘During practice Terry DeWitt and J.R.

Strong Down The Stretch The season was up and down but down the stretch, the J.V. Basket- ball team was at their best. A lot of time and effort was put into the year and a new coach, Mr. David Bender, was behind much of the success. Mr. David Bender, tradi- tionally a Northern rival, brought his talents to Southern. Coach Da- vid Bender’s practices were not short and sweet. His was a very suc- cessful first year. Jon Reneslacis, starting forward, reflected on the season by saying, “We started slow at 2-5, but turned it around by finishing 8-4. We had some big wins over Valley, East Preston, Beall, and Petersburg. Pe- tersburg had only one loss, and that game was probably our most excit- ing of the year.” Rob Germain, starting guard, re- membered the season by stating that, “I enjoyed the season a great deal. Practices were tough and mo- notonous but it all paid off with an exciting victory in front of a loyal Southern crowd. It is so great to play in front of a home crowd and upset a team like Petersburg. The fans at Southern gave us so much support. One just does not realize how much difference a home crowd makes. After finishing off a season like that, I have to be looking for- ward to next year. The varsity and junior-varsity should have a very promising season next year.” JV Basketball 59 Freshmen Thrive Under New Coach The freshman basketball team had a winning season under its first year coach, Mr. Mike Green. The Fres hmen started their season with vigorous training to get into shape. Along with this, they worked on their shooting and coordination skills. After weeks of practice and scrimmages, the Freshmen team was ready for opening night. The Freshmen came onto the court, not knowing how they would do. They amazed spectators with their competitive game plan. The po- tential for the players was great. The coach commented, “The players de- serve an awful lot of credit because of the hard work they put in every sin- gle night of practice.” All people in- volved enjoyed the exciting season. The five starters for the freshman team were Dale Bittinger, Max Hill, Jim Liller, Jeff Peck, and Eric Rice. Jim Liller said, “It was a really fun season for us. The coach was really good.” Jim had 185 points this sea- son. Following Jim, Max Hill gained 179 points in this overall season. Coach Green, in his first year as a coach, had a tremendously successful season. He played basketball when he was a student at Southern, but now faced the coaching end of the game. He devised strategies effective against opposing teams, whereas be- fore he had followed others’ instruc- tions.

Freshmen Basketball 61 Spirits Having Flown Once upon a time there were eight young girls who wanted to be- come cheerleaders. Over the years they endured long hours of prac- tice, tumbling, and putting on a happy face when failure seemed to lurk in the background. Many be- gan as young spirit setters in a youth league football setting. Through the time, freshmen and jayvee positions were gained by those destined to achieve their very best. Tryouts are always a time of practice, nerves, and relief. Relief was exhibited when the gymnastics were perfected, the smiles glis- tened, and scores were tallied. Those who achieved their very best were given the highest honor, the Becky Meyers straightens her Ram pin before the next cheer begins. Proud to be a part of the Southern spirit, Liz Burdock gives a smile to all the fans. 62 Varsity Cheerleaders honor of being a Varsity Cheer- leader. A cheerleader’s time is minimal due to the amount of time alloted for practice, school work, and games. In the summer, the Varsity Cheerleaders traveled to Hood Col- lege, Frederick, Maryland, for a week-long camp on cheers and chants. Each evening the squad was evaluated, and they received a blue ribbon and spirit stick for their per- formance. On the final day of camp, the Southern cheerleaders, consist- ing of.[onya Bray, captain, Tracey Polce, Mandy Bosley, Bindi Shank, Renee Sharpless, Becky Meyers, Jayne McCauley, and Liz Burdock, won the runner-up for the Award of Excellence. Sometimes when people have to work and perform closely together, the tempers begin to ignite. The Varsity Cheerleaders began the football season with eight cheer- leaders, but at the end of the bas- ketball season only four remained. When asked what caused the prob- lems with the squad, in their view, Becky Meyers, Renee Sharpless, and Tracey Polce quoted, “The cap- tain refused to discipline us, but let others do her work for her. We also felt practice time should have been used to perfect our skills, but in- stead it was a time to discuss the day’s events. As our advisor, Coach Fred Gregg tried to bring peace to the squad, but after two seasons of bickering it was time to take a stand.” So, when the fog lifted only four remained.

You are right—they did not catch Kim Grimm. “Eating grass isn’t my idea of cheering but that’s what happened when they first tossed me and missed. Later tosses were successful, thank goodness,” she said. Buns, ham, bologna, pickles, toma- toes, onions, lettuce, hot peppers, mayo, raw fingers and finally the sa- ran wrap. This is one of the many obstacles the cheerleaders must over come in order to raise money. Tracy Martin said, “It was a lot of fun con- Vickie Dilgard waiting patiently for the refer- ees call.

Even under these condi- tions this did not affect the ability of the girls while they were in camp at Wesleyan College. The squad cap- tured two spirit sticks, two blue supe- rior ribbions and two red excellent ribbions. Captain Sandy Mason stated, “I’ve really enjoyed being captain of J.V. this year because we all got along really well, especially since we were only Freshmen. Over all, I think the year was a real success for us.” : Sandy Mason shows her disappointment for her team missing the basket against the Elk Garden Stags. “We'll call your bluff” yells Shannon Liven good to the Keyser Golden Tornadoes.

Removal Cost $90, 000 Asbestos removal and insulation replacement at three county schools cost the taxpayers $90,000. The safe removal of the asbestos insulation at Southern High School, Northern High School, Dennett Road Elemen- tary School, and the Board of Educa- tion Office was a complicated job in- volving a tremendous amount of work. It involved the use of plastic bub- bles for the workers to remove con- taminated clothing in when they left the work area at breaks, lunch, and quitting time. A new disposable uni- form had to be donned each time a worker entered the work area. The project also called for the hauling of the asbestos to a disposal site in Anne Arundel County, which was the only one approved for asbes- tos disposal in the state. The work was done this past sum- mer while no students were in the schools and had to be completed by August 15 so as to not interfere with football practice. The project was paid for with fed- eral revenue sharing funds. Areas at Southern High needing removal included the ceiling of the upper level of the cafeteria and the boiler room. Evidence of how the floor and walls had to be sealed with plastic so no asbestos dust re- mained. 66 Feature ASBESTOS DUST HAZARE AVOID BREATHING DU WEAR ASSIGNED PROTECTIVE EQUIPME DO NOT REMAIN IN Al UNLESS YOUR WORK REQUIRES IT BREATHING ASBESTO DUST MAY BE HAZARDOU TT i. 9 One of several astronauts putting up cau- tion signs.

All The Way To States! The 1983 Southern golf team had another successful golf season. The golf team not only won the Potomac Valley Conference Tournament, but also qualified the entire team to take part in the State High School Golf Tournament in College Park, Mary- land. This is the first time in South- ern golf history that the entire team has qualified for the state tourna- ment. Many interesting matches oc- curred during the season including a one stroke loss to archrival Keyser and a three-way tie with Keyser and Tucker County resulting in a sudden death win for Southern. Many views were established dur- ing the golf season. Alan Zimmerman stated that, “I really enjoyed the reg- ular season but the P.V.C.’s and dis- trict play offs were equally gratifying. The thrill of winning P.V.C.’s and qualifying for states were the best feelings of the year. Playing at all the nice golf courses is an obvious reason 68 Golf for enjoyment and the trip to dis- tricts is the high for the year. The team has worked hard and states was the cherry on the sundae for a great year. The state golf tournament consist- ed of district team qualifiers and dis- trict individuals who scored well. The Southern golf team stayed over- night on October 26 and 27 in College Park. All of the golfers said they enjoyed their overnight stay. Steve Kremer stated that, “College Park was great. I will never forget playing cards until 2:00 a.m. Wednesday night. Coach Stemple deserves a pat on the back for loaning us a few bucks on Thurs- day after he cleaned up on us at the card table.

Golf 69 Southern Record Breakers The girl’s basketball team set new records and accomplished many goals, along with the help of coaches Mr. Don Stemple and Mr. Ken McLaughlin. For the first time, a Junior Varsity team was made available to the girls. Coach Don Stemple commented on the subject by saying, “A lot of the girls, if not on Jayvee, would not get a chance to play. The Jayvee team gives the freshmen players field time to work on the court, and to improve their skills for when they are on the Varsity team.” There were a lot of new teams ad- ded to this year’s schedule. They were Albert Gallitan, Fairchance George, Clear Spring, St. Maria Gor- etti, and Mt. Savage. Coach Don Stemple said, ‘There were not enough schools in Maryland that would play us. They do not like to come to Garret County because of the weather.” The girls set many records this year, such as scoring the most num- ber of points in one game. They hold the record for the largest winning streak, which is eight games in a row. For the first time in the history of Southern, the young ladies defeated Mt. Savage, Fort Hill, and Bishop Walsh. Those were three great victo- ries for the team. Through effort and hard work, they received the honor of being Garrett County Champions. The high scorer of the year was one of Southern’s most outstanding players, Jenny Hillen. She broke Steve Liller’s record with her 1,307 points, to become the all-time scorer in Southern’s history with one more year remaining in her high school ca- reer.

A large number of fans from Southern traveled with them. It was a great accomplishment for the girls to go to the championships. Coach Don Stemple said, “It was one of the best things that ever happened to us as a team because our number one goal was to go to the state champion- ships.” The Rams were seeded fourth and their opponent, Owings Mills, was seeded first.

However, the Rams made a co- meback of 20 points to take the lead of 49-40. At this point, it appeared that Southern would beat the Eagles, but by the 2:15 mark of the final pe- riod, Owings Mills came back to tie the score. The lead changed hands back and forth for the next two min- utes, and finally the game went into overtime. Owings Mills scored the first basket of the overtime period, and went on to win 70-67.

Our senior captain, Cinda King, and Carla Beckman, were the only re- ' turning players with any amount of playing time with the varsity. Sen- iors Karen Martin and Chris Werde- baugh were a real help for our team this year, but it was their first year as varsity players in a game where years of playing experience mean a lot,” said Mrs. Helen Rostosky, girls vol- leyball coach. Any year they do not make it to the regional play-offs is a disappoint- ment but the girls did their best.

Losing their chance of going to the regional play-offs came down to the wire and they lost by two-tenths of a point. That sort of told the story of a wellplayed, but did-not-get-the- breaks, type of season. “I thought we had a good season although our record really does not show it.

Volleyball 75 Managers Trainers: Little- Known Helpers Most people do not know how im- portant managers and trainers are. Managers are told what to do all the time. Doug Field, Varsity Basketball manager, said, “You feel like every- one is stepping on you, but then you realize without me, they would have a rough time on the court.” Without a manager, the teams would have to do more themselves and this would take away energy and time that it takes to prepare for the game. Buffy Gougher, manager of the Girls Volleyball, said, ‘I put as much time into volleyball as the players do. I feel as if Iam part of the team.” Training was one of the biggest jobs of any sport. Without trainers, players would play with injuries and possibly hurt themselves worse. A trainer is a person who helps the team with injuries and other medical problems. Brad Stewart, trainer for male sports, said, “I really like helping with the teams. It takes a lot of my free time, but I feel that it is well worth the time.” Most people feel that these jobs are not so important, but trainers and managers put more of their time into sports than most people put into a job. 76 Feature g : Massorsisesttostitilmaanpeea Not sure of the last call is Buffy Gougher, volleyball manager.

The team worked very hard in preparing for this sport. There were many long hours of practices put in after school. And the team worked very hard in preparing for their matches. The wrestlers had each other’s support and cooperation. They had a lot of experience, will power, and confidence with themselves and you could tell by the end of the season. There was very little disappoint- ment during the season. The wres- tlers were very pleased with the out- come of their success. There were seven of the seventeen wrestlers who wrestled their last year. They were Getting in starting position is Gorden Greg- ory. very proud of being a part of the Wrestling Team. Rodney Neely, who wrestled three years at Southern, stated, “I feel the season went well because of the ma- turity of the team. With seven sen- iors on the team, we had a lot of experience, which showed up in our record.” Scott Reed stated, “I think the sea- son was pretty exciting because we were a pretty good team. Although we did not have the school support, we won because of our desire to be number one. Two of our losses came at a period when our team was pla- gued with sickness, injuries, and less practice time.

It was the first time in Wrestling history at South- ern for three wrestlers to attend States all at the same time. There are twelve weight classes among the Varsity Squad. The Varsi- ty wrestlers traveled to Beall High School for The Bi-Countys. Eleven out of the twelve wrestlers made it in the top four of their weight class, so therefore qualified for Regionals at Williamsport High School. Only the top three wrestlers of Bruce Brown finds time before the match to stop and smile for the camera. 80 Wrestling each weight class qualified for States. Rodney Neely placed first in his weight class, Chris Foley placed sec- ond in his weight class, and Gorden Gregory placed third in his weight class. The three talented wrestlers traveled to Towson State College. It was quite a change for the three matmen, having eight different mats going all at once. But the change did not afflict their ability of winning.

Super Season Strike three you are out! Yes, once again the Ram baseball team is hard at work swinging those bats, hitting those balls and running those bases. This year the season was off to a bad start due to rain and cold weather. Their practices were held inside the gym most of the time and a few games were cancelled or moved to the oppos- ing team’s field. The Rams consisted of three seniors, ten juniors, four sophomores and four freshman. They were coached by head coach Jim Bosley, who was assisted by Terry Helbig and Ed Wildesen. When asking two sophomores about the experience of playing bas eball, Chad and Brad King stated, “At first it was a challenge, but we got used to the hard work.” This year the Rams had a great sea- son. They finished with a record of thir- teen wins and four losses with a loss to Clear Spring in the playoffs. This loss finished their season with a record of thirteen wins and five losses. The Rams was a team striving for the top. They worked hard to beat those opposing teams that they have never beaten before.

This year’s R.B.I. Leader was Dave McLauglin. There was a three way tie for Best Pitcher between Scott Colaw, John Nelson and Danny Holler. Highest Batting Average went to Scott Stem. The Golden Glove award went to Jon Reneslacis. One other award given this year was Most improved Player. The recipient of this award was Ran- dy Bernard. With only losing three seniors, the baseball team should be a hot one next year. All of their experience will be back and they will be ready for another hard working season. Practices will start and all the baseball players will be dreading the thought of practices out in the hot sun. All the time spent on baseball could be spent on going home and taking the time to relax. Yes, there is a lot of time involved in the adven- ture of baseball but, it has its advan- tages. It is a great experience for boys enjoying this kind of activity. While standing on the mound, John Nelson makes his line-up. Baseball 85 A Good Season, A Good Team! The 1984 Girls’ Softball team started out the year by working hard. They had worked hard in the past years, but this year they had some obstacles to overcome. At first the team had to learn to work well to- gether which they had accomplished. A few team members had difficulties adjusting to the practice hours and working with the coach. After a few weeks things seemed to be working out better. Early in the season coach Ken McLaughlin had some medical prob- lems with his leg which made it hard for practices to be held. The team slacked off for awhile during this cri- sis. Weather then became a problem and many practices and games had to be canceled and rescheduled. Finally things started to look brighter for the team and they began a winning streak. The team started working together as a team and things seemed to fall into place. They lost a few games but were able to get back on their feet and make it to playoffs. The team was very en- thusiastic about this. Smithsburg was the team to beat in the playoffs. They went into two extra innings but lost by one run. The girls ended a good season with a lot of hard work and dedication. 86 Softball The 1984 Girls’ Softball Team Row 1: Kelly Bittinger, Jenny Hillen, Chris Werdebaugh, Cindy King, Jane Bell, Natalie Vetter, Row 2: Jenny Knotts, Julie Wagner, Cathy Wer- Coach Mac McLaughlin relaxes while his girls are hard at practice. debaugh, Misty Foley Natalie Gregory, Row 3: Coach McLaughlin, Patty Glotfelty, Jack- ie Noe, Miriam Evans, Vickie Dilgard, and Charlie Graham.

They re Leaving Us There are always those senoirs who make the team special and who every- one will miss when they leave. The Ram’s Softball team had four senoirs leave this year: Natalie Vetter, Cindy King, Kelly Green, and Chris Werde- baugh. They were not only great ball players but they also made the team fun and exciting. There will always be juniors to move up in their positions but they might not always be able to take their place and make it special. When asked how she felt about her last year on the team, Kelly Green quoted, “I really enjoyed my position on the softball team not only my senoir year but also my other three years. I believe that everyone, sometime in high school, should experience some type of sport or activity. It’s not only fun and healthy but you also learn how to deal with teammates and coaches. I will al- ways remember my years on the soft- ball team.“ Kelly Bittinger was asked how she was influenced by her senoir team- mates, and she quoted, “I felt that I learned techniques and tactics by not only listening to them but also by watching them. I will miss the fun times and the hard work that we had with them.” Warming up for a big game is Jane Bell.

What we thought would be an easy class turned out to be more than a study hall. To start with we were assigned layout spreads which we were to de- sign on our own. Sure, no sweat, but then we found that we were also to write the copy, take and print the pictures, and come up with catchy captions to identify the pictures. Now problems start to occur. Taking the pictures proved to be a task in itself. If you remembered to turn on the flash and focus, there was always the f stop to screw you up. Who cares what an f stop is any- way! Printing pictures was even'a more disastrous event. The light was left on in the darkroom, the negatives were scratched, and worse All Work And No Play?? yet, we forgot to put film in the camera! Mr. Doug Buckley, advisor, never worried too much about forgetting to put film in the camera. He claimed it was cheaper that way—no waste of film. With the largest Highlander staff ever, twenty-six, with only six vet- erans, the mishaps above were an everyday occurance. Quoting newcomer Bindi Shank, “T never thought putting a year- book together would be nearly the work it was. It was a real job trying to get words and pictures to fit, pi- cas counted, and of course, dead- lines met.” Editor Cathy Junkins stated, “I really enjoy everyone in Yearbook this year.

Cathy Junkins, disk jockey at WXIE, stated that, “In my eighth grade year I was really interested in becoming a disk jockey. I really en- joyed the idea of being an on-the- air personality. I began a training period at WXJE then progressed on 96 Feature to a Sunday morning show by my- self. Along with Dick Clark, I had an air shift from 8a.m. to 3p.m. Then I also went to work on WMSG. I love being a disk jockey. The people in Garrett County are really nice to work with. My co- workers are super great people. Hopefully, I will be able to move on to a larger radio station or maybe television.” Many people go through exten- sive training to obtain their jobs. Much devoted time and effort go into hunting, finding, and obtain- ing a job. The money made through the months could eventually build a bright future. In other cases, starting at the age of 15, like Cathy Junkins, can be very profitable. Eventually she may work her way up in the communications world and become another Phyllis George Brown. Dreams for a bright future may begin at a young age. Obtain- ing a job at a young age may not be profitable while you are young, but may be worth more later on in life.

The band, under direction of Mr. Rich- ard Clever, performed numerous times at various events such as: football games, parades, and field show competitions. The leading members of the band pulled together with the band members to create an award win- ning unity. Brandon Seifert, a sen- ior, was drum major of the band and was assisted by Robin Friend, a junior. Scott Reed was drum cap- tain, and Kristi Bowling was color guard captain. Both were seniors. The color guard co-captains were two juniors, Debbie Mason and Gena MacMillan. When asked to comment on the season, drum major Brandon Sei- fert said, “For the past two years we have hosted the Western Maryland Tournament of Bands. It has been an extreme amount of fun to per- form for the hometown crowd. Al- though we didn’t compete, the crowd was very enthusiastic.” Among the field show awards were four first place awards in the Frankfort Invitational. The band won first in class ““A” band, first in percussion, first for best silks and rifles. gE SE In the Waynesburg, Pa., competi- tion, the band won first place for silks and rifles. In the East Alle- gany competition, the band won first in class “A”, first for silks and rifles, and first for silks and rifles. Shawn Reed, a member of the band, felt that the year ended as a success. She commented, “This year’s season had its ups and downs. We worked hard to over- come a rival band, Carrich. Throughout the season we lost to them, which was disappointing. Fi- nally at championships we beat Carrich and received first place. The end of the season was very worthwhile.” Marching proudly down the street are Teresa Rivenbark, Debbie Riggs, Chrissy Chloros, Lorie Teagarden, Lori Riley, Renee Helmick.

The band members used many cre- ative ideas in order to make money. Every weekend after the fourth of July the band held a very profitable chicken barbeque at Deep Creek Lake on Route 219. During Au- tumn Glory, they sold hoagies and had a con- cession stand at the Western Maryland Tour- nament of Bands. These fund raisers basically wrapped up the debts of 1983-84. Other preparations for the band year were the long, excruciating practices. Drenched in perspiration, the band members marked time and played their instruments from approxi- mately 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The hot, August sun did not help make the days more pleasur- Lorie Teagarden is having a good time while Barry Livengood and Scott Reed are caught by the camera! able. As one band member explained the week, “Tt’s hard to play an instrument and mark time while beads of sweat are rolling off your nose!” However, band camp also had its enjoyable moments, according to the old members. This was the week of initiating the new members, or rookies. Initiation night consisted of all the rookies standing in a line while the old mem- bers smeared eggs, shaving cream, vaseline, make-up and many other slimy products all over the rookies. Jeff Simpson said, “At first I was really scared because I had no idea what was going to happen. I enjoyed it afterwards, even though it took weeks to get the vaseline out of my hair!” Tabby Jackson is working hard on perfecting her rifle skills.

The night was Saturday, April 29, and after many hard prac- tices, the band members finally had the chance to show off their talents. Many popular songs were included in the Stage Band concert such as Still, Don’t Ask Me Why, Only Time Will Tell, Say, Say, Say, and Beat It. However, despite the success of the concert, a few problems arose during the 1983-84 band season. Mark Weeks and Gena MacMillan both agreed, “Some complaints we had about Stage Band were that we wer- en’t given enough tickets to play at the basketball games so some of us had to pay, and after halftime we weren’t allowed to return to the gym after taking our equipment back down to the bandroom. We also didn’t get much attendance to the concert, but we feel that we did an excellent job.” The Stage Band members also felt that a new key- board was needed. In addition to the Stage Band con- cert, the members also performed in Southern’s gymnasium at many of the home basketball games. The song Superstar was played by the band before each game to psyche the play- ers and as an accompaniment to the cheerleaders’ dance routine. Brandon Seifert glances at his music, while Todd Beahm plays on. Stage Band Page 103 Rhonda Warton is caught offguard by the camera. Renee Helmick and Sonja Peterman lead the quard off of the floor.

We have had a very enjoyable and successful season, and it is my hope that the guard contin- ues to grow and improve in the years to come.” This was the positive com- ment that Kristi Bowling, captain of the Southern Belles Winter Guard presented. A few of the Belles’ many impres- sive accomplishments included Win- ter Guard International Mid-Atlan- tic Regional High School champions, an undefeated record in West Penn Colorguard Circuit competitions, and their third consecutive win in the West Penn Championship com- petition. However, a particularly high hon- or was presented to the Belles when they achieved a fourth place finish in the Winter Guard International Olympics. The Belles put in many hours of hard work in order to become a group exhibiting talent and excellence. On May 7, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners recognized and con- gradulated the Belles on their out- standing accomplishments.

The group, un- der the direction of Mrs. Carolyn Wilt, participated in many activities including: playing for the Rescue Squad, Senior Citizens at the Nurs- ing Home, singing for the House of Hope radio program, and preforming for both Southern and Northern Middle Schools. The Senior Chorus helped to provide and organize the choral programs in both Southern and Northern High and Middle Schools. This year Jenny Sisler and Carla Beckman represented Southern High School in the All State Compe- tition. The preparation for the final concert included many practices. Carla Beckman stated, ‘‘Even through all of the practices and work it was alot of fun. It was definately different and all in all we had a real- ly good time.” One of the group’s major events included playing at graduation on May 27. One of the hand bell ringers, Becky Matthews, stated, “It is really a honor to be able to play at gradu- ation. It gives us one final and special day to see all of our friends who are seniors.” The chorus raised money this year by selling assorted greeting cards. The money raised provided a trip for the chorus and handbell ringers, combined with the Girls Athletic As- sociation, to CAMELOT in Pitts- burgh.

Candy Bar Landslide Did you ever wonder why we are bombarded with the sale of candy bars throughout the year. At times it seems we have wandered into the magical world of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory. The main reason for the calorie filled temptations of chocolates and other treats is because they are good profit mak- ers. When vast amounts of items can be sold, this can help to bring money to many clubs and organizations at school. School is not only a place to learn, it is a place to join in many activities of your choice. Whether you choose Girls Athletic Association, Future Homemak- ers, or Business Leaders of America, or Future Farm- ers of America, the choice is open and suited to each individual. So, make your choice and participate. It can help to add a new aspect to a person.

Future Farmers Of America - A Normal Year: Busy If a person were to enter the FFA building this past year, he or she would have found it buzzing with ac- tivity. Some students would be busy watering the many plants in the greenhouse, while others would be seen cleaning up. A few members would just be lounging around, tak- ing it easy. Relaxing was not exactly a high- light of the club year. Members stayed busy with many activities such as tractor day. More than a doz- en tractors showed up at Southern on this day. A field trip took place at the end of the year, one in Mrs. Janet Boggess, adviser, and several mem- bers attended. The club members sold oranges to raise funds, along with their project of growing and selling plants to local people around town. A banquet was held for FFA mem- bers and guests in February at the Southern cafeteria. Awards were dis- tributed and lots of good food was eaten. Earlier, Karen Hamilton had been selected to receive the title of Farm Queen at the annual Garrett County Fair. She also rode in the Autumn Glory parade with her runner-up. Other FFA floats were present in the parade, too. When asked how she felt about FFA, Karen replied, “Being a mem- ber of this club was just great! We worked hard and got a lot accom- plished this past year.

VICA - Busy As Usual VICA-Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, is a club that promotes self-worth and maturity. Club mem- bers stayed very busy during the year of ’83-’84 with activities and fund raisers. As a fund-raiser, VICA mem- bers sold fruit during the month of December. Apples, oranges, and grapefruits were sold to raise money for their trip to the VICA State Com- petition that was held in March. The club members traveled to Baltimore for this competition along with other schools from all over the state of Maryland. The students competed in such areas as opening and closing, welding, job interviews, cooking, cake decorating, building construc- tion, plumbing and wiring, and auto mechanics. After the competition, an award ceremony was held. At this ceremony Rodney Swiger received first place for his performance in the job inter- view division. From there Rodney was to travel to the Nationals which were to take place in Kentucky in the month of June. When asked how she liked being a member of VICA, Luann Wilson re- plied, “I really enjoyed being in the club. It gave me a chance to travel and meet some new people.

During their club meetings, discussions on business practices were held as well as discussions on job areas and dress code. The FBLA members worked with computers and learned much about them and other business machines. Ann Collins, a guest speaker from IBM, demonstrated the use of sever- al sophisticated office machines for the club. FBLA member, Renee Shaffer, said, “I think being a FBLA member was a valuable experience. It has helped to prepare me for the business world.” Club members did take a break from their serious schedule for some fun though. A Valentine party was held during activity period for the whole Club’s enjoyment. Advisors of the Club were Mrs. Corile Wilhelm and Mrs. Alice Eary. The year for Future Homemakers was an exciting and busy one. Club members worked hard to improve the appearance of the school by mak- ing benches and donating trees for the main lobby. As one of their fund-raising pro- jects, FHA members sponsored a jel- ly-bean guess. Prizes awarded were an AM-FM radio, a record album, and a chocolate bunny. Michelle Sheltra, FHA member, said, “Being in the club was hard work but lots of fun. I feel that I learned and gained a great deal from being a member.” j 1983-84 FBLA members: Front: Robin Brant, Kim Sliger, Tina Friend. Back: Con- nie Severe, Renee Shaffer, Kim Winters.

Bill Hesen said, “People put out a lot of effort and did not get much in return, but they never stopped trying.” Most of the racers finished very well. Joey Johnson took second place in his division. Most people do not realize how hard it is to ski. The peo- ple on the Ski Race Team have been skiing for at least five years. It takes a lot of patience to become a good skier.

National Honor Society was hard at work trying to keep their grades up. Scott Colaw said, “It is not hard to make good grades, all you have to do is apply yourself.” To be in National Honor Society you had to be a “A” or “B” student. Mr. Lowell Leitzel, adviser, said, “More people could be in National Honor Society if they wanted to. Most people want to just goof-off through school, but I am glad to see some people really work.” National Honor Society was not the only hard working group. Quill and Scroll was an international hon- or society for high school journalists and members were hard at work keeping their grades up as well. To be in Quill and Scroll, you had to be in Yearbook or Acorn and also be in the upper third of your class. Quill and Scroll was rewarded with a picnic at Broadford Rec Area. The new members were initiated by Steve Kremer, president. Lisa Carter, new member, said, “It was a lot of fun - at least it was a break from school.” Mr. Bill Hogan, Acorn adviser, said, ‘““Next year we should have a lot more students in- terested, but I am not disappointed with the turn out.” 120 Steve Kremer, Q S president, reads the initiation. @ S members: Row 1: Angela Reall, Lisa Calhoun, Lori Cooley, Margaret Oliverio, Brenda Uphold.

National Honor Society 121 Where’s The Spirit??? Officiers: Cathy Junkins, Vice-President, Lynn Welch, President, and Nancy Paugh, Treasurer. Has Southern Lost The Spirit That Has Kept It Alive? What happened with the spirit of Southern Garrett High School? It used to be that when a spirit day would be announced the entire school would brighten up with the gala colors of red and white, and topped with crazy clothes, crazy glasses, or the wild antics of wear- ing different color socks, or two dif- ferent shoes. Those were the days when the school was united as one for a cause that was important to all. When the Spirit Squad was formed in the spring of 1983, it was a large excitement to all. Many would anticipate the arrival of the first pep club that had been forgot- ten over the years. The first Spirit Squad was a fun-filled crew that held on throughout the season and 122 Spirit Squad helped to cheer the Ram basketball team on. There were many mem- bers in the first squad, members of all grades, and all filled with the excitement of lending a “clapping” hand to help the Rams to victory. But in 1984, the scene shifted. There was a large number of peo- ple who wanted to be a part of the Spirit Squad, but when it came time to do any work for the squad, no one was around. Meetings were scheduled, but no one came, and the space that was reserved for the squad was empty. It was as though the balloon of spirit had been de- flated. There were no posters dis- playing the proud feelings that many shared in the year before. The school became a quiet, somber, frozen-like state of uncaring and unspirited people. When asked her opinion of the 1984 Spirit Squad, Cathy Lynn Junkins stated, “I have been a member of the squad for two years. In my junior year it was great to have everyone together and want- ing to help the Rams to a victory. But, this year no one seemed to care. It was like everyone was dead. I really hated it because I know that a lot of kids would have liked to be a part of the school spirit, but be- cause some people thought it was degrading, they refused to partici- pate. I just hope that the future generations of Southern get off their high horse and get involved. You are not degrading in participat- ing, only when you set back and let the world slip by.” | At a home basketball game, Cathy Junkins and Lynn Welch show their spirit with a big smile. 1984 Spirit Squad, row 1: Amy Vance, Theresa Sisler, Cathy Junkins, Lynn Welch, Nancy Paugh.

Melting Pot It takes all kinds of people to make up a world. Our society is filled with people from many walks of life. During the beginning of the twentieth century, peo- ple gave up many precious values in their homeland in order to embark on the Land of Opportunity, The United States of America. Our nation is filled with many different ethnic, religious, and cultural back- grounds. The United States has been called the melt- ing pot of the world ... and rightly so. Even in Southern, it takes many different categor- ies of students to make a school interesting and effe- cient. Now, take a careful look around and see the many different, unique, and special people—then go ahead and dive right in to our own melting pot.

When asked, “What do you like most about S.H.S.’’, a combination of seniors replied, football games; field trips; sports programs; graduation; pep assemblies; and their friends.” The next question was “What do you like least about S.H.S.?” The an- swers were, ‘Not being able to go out for lunch; the class selection; final testing being a 5th of our grades; waiting for last lunch shift and starv- ing; cafteria food; English class; puke green walls; the smell of the bath- rooms; and of course most of the sen- iors least liked, homework.” Another question that got a wild Always out of class during third period, Jeff Bernard once again roams the halls.

Wendy Patricia Beitzel Christopher Samuel Bentley Jeffrey Alan Bernard Randy Eugene Bernard Sandra Kay Bernard Amy Christine Bittinger Vince Carl Bittinger Jeffrey Joseph Bittner selection of answers was, “If you could, what would you do to improve this school?” Answers were: Have a better selection of classes; ones that will help you get a job; have better food; put air fresheners in the bath- rooms; paint the walls; paint bath- rooms the way they were, baby blue with rainbows and hearts. The seniors were asked about the population of the school and the ma- jority said the amount of people go- ing to Southern was about right. Some said they would not mind go- ing to a bigger school. A few said they would like to go to a smaller school. Most of the seniors are satisfied with the population at Southern.

For worse? That is the question! Everyone will exper- ience changes. Everything, every- one, everywhere changes. If they do not, time has stopped and the world has ended. The 1984 seniors have seen some changes of their own, both in them- selves and in their classmates. The seniors have grown both physically and intellectually since their senior year. Many of the physical changes seen were their appearances. When asked about her change in appear- ance, Nancy Paugh replied, “My appearance has been a drastic change for the people at Southern. At first, I was not sure if Garrett County could handle my punk hair- cut and personality. They have tak- en it pretty well so far, although I have heard a few snide remarks from some people.” Just being a senior causes a lot of changes in some people. They ei- ther become more obsessed with school or they just drift through the day with ease. When asked what he thought about school in his senior year, Jeff Beeman said, ‘Changes have defi- nitely occured this year. It is really different walking down the hall not seeing anyone older than myself. I am just taking it easy in my classes and enjoying my senior year.” The changes that have occured have been accepted with ease and by getting used to the fact that everything changes. Nothing or no one can stop changes. Rodney Swiger hard at work in Machine Tool. Weese Clatterbuck glances away from her work during Acorn class.

So to make it interesting, instead of writ- ing down opinions about those three well known substances, I gave out sur- veys to about fifty seniors to get their opinions. According to the surveys, most of them did not take drugs, did not smoke pot, but they did drink. Most of them did not drink very often. Though there were a few that drink every or every other weekend, most of them think it is wrong to take drugs or smoke pot. About twenty-five percent of the peo- ple that filled out the surveys do not do any of the three. They seem to be main- ly against drugs and pot. One person’s comment about drugs in school was, “The first time someone is caught with drugs in school, they should be sus- pended and required to take some kind of class to learn the effects of drugs. The second time, they should be ex- pelled.” Of course there is a percentage of people who do take drugs, but it is a small percent. 130 Seniors Kim Andrews appears guilty when asked if she has a hall pass.

First Mascots Along the sidelines two lone figures stand-out amoung the players, cheer- leaders, and staff. These figures are dressed, one in a suit of red with a bow in her hair, while the other, in a white suit with a long red cape draped across her back. Who could these people be? How many people do you know that would walk around for an entire game wearing a costumed head? Well, for two dedicated young ladies the task was dif- ficult, but well-worth the effort. They were the first to perform a duty that would hopefully, begin a long tradition at Southern. That tradition would be, becoming a Ram mascot. Three years ago Cindy King decided to make a Ram suit and become a mas- cot. After talking it over, Cindy dis- cussed her plan to be a mascot with Chris Werdebaugh. After much plan- ning, they decided that two mascots would be beneficial to the school. Final- ly, it was the time for the debut of Mr. Mrs. Ram. The first time they performed in front of everyone they felt pretty weird. However, after some time passed, they began to enjoy and even look forward to being decked out in their Ram suits.

Many kids would watch the things Chris and Cindy would do and try to imitate their moves. A few were facinated when they were allowed the privilege of trying the costume on. Cindy and Chris were also the inspiration to other schools to also have mascots. Chris Werdebaugh gave her feel- ings about being a Southern mas- cot, “Being Southern High School’s 136 Seniors mascot for the past three years has been great. It was a terrific opportu- nity to show school spirit and meet other people. I would like to thank the Southern High Ram fans for supporting the team.” Cathy Junkins, a spirited student quoted, “I thought it was fantastic when I first saw Cindy and Chris as Ram mascots, I couldn’t believe how great their costumes were. It really gave a “flair” to our school. Then, I noticed that a lot of schools started adding mascots to their cheerleading staffs. I hope that Ram mascots continue throughout the remainder of Southern. I think it is the beginning of a fantastic tra- dition.” In the future, the tradition will live on. However, the thanks must always be given to the pioneers of spirit trends. Chris Werdebaugh and Cindy King will always be the trend-setters of spirit. Like always, Tim Tharp and John Thayer act a little crazy while getting their pictures taken. DeAnna Welch waits for the day to end.

It seems everyone lives for Fridays and Saturdays. “I can’t wait til Friday”, is one of the most common expressions in Southern High School, and surely it is that way in every other high school. Why do people think weekends are so great? What do they do? 138 Seniors Weekend Probably one of the biggest reasons for school students is they can sleep in and do not have to get up early. Every student has their own reason why they like weekends. Maybe it is somewhere they go, something they do, or someone they see. When one senior was asked what they thought was so special about weekends, they replied, “It’s nice to have a couple of days off and not having to get up early in the morn- OO ing. You don’t have to worry about coming in early so you can stay out as long as you want. The biggest reason is on the weekends is when everyone is out to have a good time, and there are more things to do. You can go to the movies, go to dances, or some people have parties you can go to. You can cruise to different places and meet people from other schools, or go out on dates.” “Yea, we’re bad”, says Theresa Sisler, Lynn Welch, and Nancy Paugh as they participate in the spirit day.

These were a few of the many projects that Jennifer Evans, Jack Clark, and Jimmy Iden were in- volved with during the year. When Jimmy was asked how he felt about the art classes, he replied, “T think that all art classes should be like studio art. We should have the freedom to do what we feel like do- ing.” Of course, the question came up about continuing their education after they graduate. Jennifer said, “T’m going to either Rocky Mountain School of Art or Tyler School of Art.”” When Jack Clark was asked, he stated, “I hope that I’m able to go.” Valerie Lee Moats Ida Sue Moon Jannettea Elaine Moon Terry Dale Morgan Lois Elizabeth Mousch Darin Neil Nazelrod Rodney Everett Neely Charles Andrew Newhall Jennifer Evans expresses her passion for horses through the paint brush. 140 Seniors Showing his talent, Jack Clark paints a picture of a tiger. Miss Linda Reeves, Southern art teacher, said this about these three art students: “These students are in- dependent and self-motivated. They are quick to pick up ideas and are creative in their approach to solving different problems in art.” Mrs. Sonja Pratt, Southern Art teacher, replied, “Jennifer, Jack, and Jim have been a part of our program for a minimum of two years. Each student has displayed versatility, tal- ent, and a real desire to learn. Over the years I have seen them master technical skills, become increasingly independent in thought, and utilize art as a legitimate means of self- expression.” u x In between performances of the Senior Class Play, Melody Flinn and Mark Younkin take a rest.

Third lunch shift was a prime ex- ample of this. This lunch shift was so rowdy that it was second lunch shift’s hero. There had been com- plaints of teachers on the second floor saying that the third lunch disturbed their classes. When asked what she thought about third lunch shift, senior The- resa Sisler replied, “It is excellent to watch the teachers try to contain the kids, only to be defeated, But don’t despair, when we leave, things will be boring again.” In two words: Last Term.

The week of the fair was a big highlight of my life. That week I got to meet and talk to a lot of people of dif- ferent ages. I handed out several ribbons and trophies in different competitions. Later in August, I traveled down state for the State Farm Queen Contest. I had the opportuinty to meet the other farm queens from all over the state. We all were interviewed by the judges and later answered a spontaneous question. It was ex- citing to be interviewed and to stand on stage. “Tt was a wonderful experience to have the honor of being crowned Basketball Homecoming Queen. I am proud to represent Southern. The dance was beauti- fully decorated and I think every- one who attended had a good time. It was a wonderful opportunity for one to have such an experience,” replied Ka- ren Hamilton.

The main entertainment for this day was parties. Many were able to go muddin’ in jeeps, listen to music, and talk about old times. On that day there were one hun- dred and eleven seniors absent from school. These were both out- of-school passes and absentees. These people spent the day doing many activities. ‘The senior class went on their trip on May 18, 1984. They went to Kennywood Park and had a buffet dinner on the Gateway Clipper. At Kennywood there were many rides and sights to see. Many sen- Tracy Rinard hands out his name cards after he received his senior announce- ments. iors were having so much fun at Kennywood that they were reluc- tant to go on the Gateway Clipper. They wanted to spend more time on the rides. They were served a delicious meal and given the opportunity to dance. While dancing a magical thing happened: the old and young together joined in to old and new dances. They taught each other dances that the other did not know. Together they enjoyed themselves immensly. The day was exciting and so was the bus ride. You would think that after all of that fun that you would be too tired to have anymore fun. This was not the case, the fun con- tinued on the bus all the way home.

Seniors 149 150 Feature Sisler Competes For Title One would think that with school work, a job, and after school activi- ties, there would be little time left over for any thing else. But one Southern Senior, Theresa | Sisler, proved this wrong. Theresa was selected to compete in the Maryland Miss T.E.E.N. Pagent held April 6, 7, and 8 at the Ocean City Convention Hall. Contestants from all over the state competed for the title and prizes which included a $1,000 scholarship to the Barbizon School of Modeling, and an expense- paid trip to compete in the nation finals held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where prizes awarded were more than $25,000 total. The requirements of contestants were many, including maintaining at least a “B” average in school and also donating at least 12 hours of time to some worthwhile charity or civic or- ganization. Each girl was also re- sponsible for finding sponsors. Ther- esa’s sponsors were Oakland New Car Dealers, My O’Tire, Hawkinson Tread, Oakland Coca-Cola, Eng- lander’s Pharmacy, and Lenora’s. Contestants were judged on scho- lastic and voluntary service as well as contemporary points such as appear- ance, poise, personality, speech, and talent. Feature 151 It’s Ring Time Once again the Juniors came to the exciting point in the year of ordering class rings. On September 16, 1983, the Juniors assembled in the cafete- ria to listen to representatives from the Balfour Ring Company. A new style was introduced in both the boys and girls ring choices. This added to the many styles already available from Balfour. Balfour not only carries class rings, they also carry rings that are worn by professional athletes, after they have won a world title. This is Balfour’s second year at Southern, selling and distributing their fine quality rings.

Among the views was a thought by Tonya Bray. Tonya stated, “I was really looking forward to the day of ordering my class ring. For a long time all the talk has been about class rings and how great it feels to own your own class ring. I’ve always wanted a ring. The selections of rings to choose from were very spread out and consisted of everything. The Jonathon West Collection consisted of very dainty rings, but was some- thing to choose from. I hope I still feel the same way when I have that ring on my finger. It’s a lot of exciti- ment over a small tradition, but it’ll last a lifetime.” (cont. on page 155) While ordering his class ring, J.R. Gibson takes time to pose for the yearbook camera.

Wendy stated, “I understand that people want class rings as a symbol to re- mind them of their high school years, but, in my opinion, it just would not be worth it for me. I nev- er wear any kind of rings and even if I did wear it, I would not wear it when I go to college in two years. I just do not think it would be practi- cal enough for me to spend $100 or more for something I would never use. I can see why boys get them because they give them to their girl- friends. Rings seem to be practical for everyone but me.” There are a lot of different opin- ions from various people. Some of the students have mixed feelings about ordering a class ring and how much they cost. Do you think it will suit your style to order a class ring? This sub- ject is something everyone should definitely think about. The subject of a class ring is very prominent to everyone. The thrills of a ring are great, but they do fizzle out and end being no big deal to some people.

For the first time in fourteen years there would be no Junior Class Play. Why, you may ask? The reason is due to disturbances and lack of inter- est. At first the play was called off be- cause of last year’s outbursts of some disrespectful sophomore. These out- bursts upset Miss Jane Avery, the director of junior class plays, and the cast of the play. After hearing the story of Miss Avery, some interested juniors got together at several meetings and asked Miss Avery to do a play. Stu- dents also wrote an apology letter. Miss Avery gave the plea much thought and finally said “O.K.” In- terested juniors went to meetings and signed up for the play. There was one more problem, no boys! How many plays do you see with all girls? The boys in the junior class had the attitude of who cares. There were a lot of people who thought the play would have been an extremely fun experience. The guys just would not cooperate with the other classmates and refused to sign up for the play. Once again the decision was made that there would not be a play.

The countdown started the day we walked into Southern High School. We were the freshman class of 1981, unfa- miliar with the surroundings, the peo- ple, and the superiors. It was hard to believe that we were in high school. Bindi Shank said, “Coming to S.H.S as a freshman was a new experience for all of us, but we were on the bottom again, which made us less excited about com- ing up.” The countdown continued when we entered the school as sophomores. Amy White stated that, “My sophomore year wasn’t really all that different from my first year at Southern. The classes were more difficult, but we were given a few more privileges. We took Driver’s Ed. so we could get our license. The best thing about it was that we weren’t the youn- gest in the school, and also it put us a year closer to graduation. The third part of the countdown is our Junior year. Mandy Bosley said that, “So far, my junior year has been the best of my eleven years in school. I was really glad to finally be able to get my class ring, and get one step closer to graduating. For the most part, the first half of the year was very interesting, a lot of great times, and a lot of boring times concerning ignorant things that have happened to me between the end 158 Juniors of November, to the beginning of March.” P.J.

Lite After SENG Just what happens when the last bell of the day rings? Some students like to stay around the school and play basketball or lift weights. But what does the other ninety percent do? Some can be seen going to the movies on Friday nights, but others go out to dinner. The most popular pastime is Crus- ing the Strip wherever that strip may be. Some consider Heck’s to be the place to hang out , others enjoy Brownings parking lot. Most grown-ups wonder why the younger generation likes to hang out or cruise the strip. The only logical explanation is that seeing your friends in school just is not enough! We like to spend endless, wild and crazy hours with our friends, Some think that is un- necessary. But what do they know? I mean really, grown-ups now-a-days act like they never did anything when they were teen- agers. If we teenagers do anything wrong, our parents just can not be- lieve we could do something so terrible. I am sure if we would ask them about their teenage years, we would find they were wilder than we are. Just think what it would be like to go back to the time our parents waited for the 3:15 bell to ring, and see just what their life after 3:15 consisted of.

Mr. Douglas Buckley, comment- ed, “I think it’s good for students to see first hand what we talk about in class.”” He went on to say, “I was always impressed with the many exhibits, especially the dinosaurs and Greek artifacts, and I think stu- dents are too.” Mr. David Bender, also a chaper- one, said, “Carnegie brings the awe splendor and amazement of ancient civilizations home to our students. After Carnegie, it is easy for stu- dents to understand that our world has roots that began in a world far away and long ago but not unlike our own or ourselves.” Kristen Rosenberry commented, “Tt was a nice trip, but you needed more than one day to see everyth- ing.” “Well, I think Carnegie Institute wasn’t such a good trip,” said Marty Coale. “The things I didn’t like about it was when we looked at the Greek part which told us how the | | buildings were made, because we al- © ready knew that, and that wasted | twenty minutes of the trip. I also didn’t like the elevators, because I hate riding them so I had to walk five flights of stairs.” Waiting for their next assignment, Scott Wer- debaugh and Vickie Wilson study in Mr. Ted Femi’s 6th. period biology class.

Drivers Ed. can be an easy, fun, and exciting class for some and a dif- fucult class for others. As one stu- dent commented, “I hated it in a way, I had trouble seeing over the dash board. My legs are short and I had to pull the seat up really close to reach the peddles.” Some students thought the Simu- lator was very helpful but, “I thought the simulator cars were sort of junky, but other t han that, it was okay,” commented Norman Waw- 164 Sophomores zinski. Jay Stewart and Lori Watson said, “It was worth while but the films could have been in better con- dition, and it was a very fun and ex- citing experience.” Most of the students liked on the road driving best because more things can happen in a real car than in a simulator car. It would be terri- bly embarrasing if you knew what you were doing and as soon as you got begind the wheel, you froze. This happened to one student the first time he drove. “I was real calm when I got in the car, but when I started to back up, I started getting scared. I was a nervous wreck!

They don’t hit anyone when they pop; they stay in your mouth,” stated Rhonda Bennett. “My dad said if I ever fell on my butt, I would bounce right back up.” “I feel that wearing braces and go- ing through all the problems are worth it.

Have you ever thought about not being able to chew any gum at all for about one to two years? In auuition to that, things like popcorn, celery, taffy, etc., are not allowed. Of course, many students do not follow the rules and eat these fruits anyway. Why would anyone spend up to $2,0000.00 to endure that kind of tor- ture? Is it all really worth it? “Yes, because your teeth will look a lot better afterwards,” said Angela Thomas.

Sophomore Clay In the beginning of this year, there was an art class. The name of the teacher in this class was Miss Linda Reeves. In this class she had five ex- ceptionally good students who were David Bucklew, Jack Faulkner, Chloe Leary, Lori Riley, and Kristin Rosenberry. In a certain time period these stu- dents were working with clay, and the class needed a model to mold. David Bucklew grandly volunteered to do this job. How would you like to sit in front of the class, in a stiffening pose, eyes of your class members gawking at you, for almost two weeks? “T decided to model for the clay pieces because modeling isn’t that hard and I’m not that good at work- ing with clay,” responded David Bucklew. “Tt was fun making something that looked like a person out of clay,” said Kristin Rosenberry. “We got to use our imagination and had a lot of fun.” “It was pretty funny trying to make a half decent clay person out of wet, slippery clay, but it wasn’t too bad,” responded Chloe Leaey. “It got disgusting at times, especially with Gloria Jamison’s sense of humor.” One question came up: “Did these clay figures look exactly like David Bucklew?” Jack Faulkner replied, “It was really wierd, because by the time most people were finished, it looked nothing like David. Most of the clay men had Popeye arms or hunch backs.” Sophomores 169 Crabtree Photography Photography by 170 Feature Keep A Secret? All too frequently, many talented Garrett County individuals remain unknown and unrecognized. Howev- er, the gifted Kimberly Ann Grimm, a Southern High freshman, is an ex- ception. Having captured the state title at the Miss Charm Pageant, at Cumberland, Md., Kim will be repre- senting Garrett County at the Na- tional Miss Charm Pageant in July at Arlington, Virginia. Speaking about her experience, Kim stated, “Participating in the Miss Maryland Charm Pageant has turned out to be a self-rewarding ac- complishment. I have gained new friends, not only in the pageant, but also at the various functions I at- tended since winning the title. The ‘support from my friends, neighbors, | and also from the community has been very gratifying. I hope that I can return from the Miss Charm Pageant to be held this coming July in Arlington, Virginia, knowing that I gave it all the gusto I could.” Miss Grimm’s exceptional singing talents were first recognized at a lo- cal level when she placed first in the 1983 Southern Middle School Talent Show, and eventually going on to win first place in the 1983 Garrett County Talent Show. Kim has also entertained for the local Democrat Dinner, the Choral Society, and 1984 talent contests. Oakland’s best kept secret is no long- er a secret—she is headed for the na- tionals. Good luck, Kim! Smiling pretty for the camera is Kim Grimm. The 1983 Miss Charm, Kimberly Ann Grimm. Kim Grimm practices for the 1984 Miss Charm Pageant with her Annie routine. Feature 171 Profitable Reading Magazines were sold this year as a $365.00 worth of magazines, she re- money raising project just as the freshmen bave done for the past four consecutive years. This year their campaign was with QSP, Inc., who was represented at Southern by George Hanna. The freshman set out on the campaign trail with a maxi- mum goal of $9,500.00 and a mini- mum goal of $8,500.00. To their sur- prise, they overcame their maximum goal by $517.19 and made a grand total of $10,017.19. After the prizes were paid for, profit was approxi- mately $3,420.00 which will be put into the bank to earn interest until their junior year when it will help pay the expenses on the prom.

When the vice-principal, Miss Henrietta Lease, was asked about the campaign, she replied, “The class of ’87 had the best everin the history of Southern.” She also made a com- ment which went in the way of a special thank-you to her first period office aids, Tracy Imoff and Sandy Bernard, for all their help in the everyday totaling of the records and their accountant work that otherwise would have gone undone for days. As a reward, the class of ’87 was given a movie entitled Raiders of the Lost Ark. Completing another day’s work is Tammy Wolford, in Mrs. Diana McCartney’s Earth Science class.

One student voiced their opin- ion saying, “I felt so much peer pres- sure as I saw the school come into view than I ever had.” She contin- ued, “The second I walked into the school I felt as if everyone was watching me and I was the laughing stock of Southern!” Another freshmen, Joelle Plauger, said “Thank goodness I only had to find the cafeteria, I could follow ev- eryone else there.” Then she went on to say, “I may be a freshman in some people’s minds but I’m a person and not a bad student either!”” Then she Annette Duncan Sherri Duncan Chris Durban Michelle Edgar Eric Ellifritz Tammy Elliott Teresa Elsey Amanda Evans Doug Evans Joe Evans Kelley Evans Miriam Evans Billie Everidge Mike Fazenbaker Steve Few Kenny Fike Kevin Fike Irene Filsinger Alex Flanigan Craig Fowler Dawna Fox Michael Frey Charles Friend Chester Friend Connie Friend Steve Friend Tammy Friend Duane Garlitz Mike Gattshall David Gilbert Brain Glass Becky Glotfelty Patty Jo Glotfelty Stephanie Glotfelty Patty Gnegy 174 Freshmen said, “I’m going to show Southern that they have not seen anything yet!” The rest of the students who were asked what their first thoughts gave a response in the way of this-“I was scared and did not know just what to think.” One student, Danny Hebb, had a different point of view than all the rest. He said; “It was just like the Middle Schoool; you still feel like you are in jail!” In this day and age of peer pres- sure everyone tries to look their best and as Becky Shreve replied, “If they don’t like me for what I am, then forget them!” Concentrating on his work, Mike Bentley stays involved. : Waiting for Mrs. Carolyn Wilt’s chorus class are Shannon Sanders and Connie Bray.

It was said that the freshmen were go- ing to be one of the largest classes to ever enter Southern. “We started with 264 freshmen and are now at 263 freshmen,” reported Miss Anna Bishop, Southern Guidance Counsel- or. With this large amount of fresh- men to come in the fall of 1983, the adminstration had much planning to do. “It was my first year as vice-prin- cipal; therefore, it was my first ex- perience in developing a master schedule and my first experience with helping schedule students. This took up a large part of my summer,” explained Miss Henrietta Lease. During the summer months the ad- ministration had to decide how they 170 Freshmen were going to accommodate these new freshmen. Will the teachers need new books, new desks, how about a new set of nerves? Along with the administration, some students had thoughts about these freshmen and the size of their class. One senior, Cathy Junkins, stated, ‘““Over the summer I consid- ered a lot about my final year at Southern and how it would be. With a expanded class, I wondered if it would affect it that much. It made the school seem a lot smaller but I guess all in all they’re okay!” Surprisingly enough, the whole school has made it through another change in the size of freshmen classes. Let us just hope that the coming classes are not any larger. Where would we put them, on the football field or the parking lot? Vocabulary words keep Heather Savage working.

As you look into the future, what do most freshmen see? A majority of the freshmen asked said that they did not have any idea what they were going to do after high school. When one freshmen, Joelle Plauger, was asked about her future, she replied, “T plan to attend college so I took a course that would give me what I needed.” Most freshmen come to Southern not knowing what they are going to do after high school. So how do they prepare for their future? One fresh- men had a good tactic. She replied, “My first decision was to realize that I had a big step ahead of me when I entered Southern.

Then, if I decide not to go to college and be a secretary, I can change over and still have a college level background.” During their eighth grade year most freshmen were given the choice of which course they were going to take. Their choices were: College Prepartory, 2-year College Prepar- tory, Regular, Business or Vocation- al. Every Student had a decision to make. Let us just hope the decisions are going toward the future and fur- thering their education. | Practicing in the band hall during band class is Debbie Riggs. | Girls Athletic Association finds Jennifer Ar- nott, Wendy Bosley, and Tracey Martin dis- cussing the procedure.

What To Do? As most graduates leave their high school years behind, they have many different things to look for- ward to. One of several things is the many years of college they plan to complete before going out into this fast paced world we live in. During Career Day, juniors and seniors from both Southern and Northern had the opportunity to discuss their college plans with many different college representa- tives from various colleges. During the morning hours, stu- dents went to seminars of their choice to talk with many people from different colleges. In the after- noon there were two special pro- grams. First, a former student of Northern High School, Tony Ar- tice, and his karate class from Oak- land did a karate demonstration on many techniques and levels of the art of self defense. Following the karate demonstration, a group of students from Grafton, West Virig- nia, called The Entertainers gave a very entertaining preformance. The group preformed various singing and acting skits. These young adults are students of Grafton High School and were under the direc- tion of Mr. Kenneth Godwin. This concluded the day for many | students, but it will not be forgot- | ten. Many students’ minds were | still trying to decide what college | they have chosen to pursue. One junior had the following comment to say about Career Day, | “I thought it was a very interesting | experience, but they need to take a | survey concerning what colleges they students are interested in.” Another junior, Shari Copeland, | said, “I felt that Career Day was | very successful in informing stu- dents about the careers they are in- terested in. Everyone enjoyed lis- tening to the speakers and talking to the representatives from differ- ent colleges. So, in this fast moving world to | get ahead in your career, you need education in a specific field. While talking to various representatives, students ask for information to be sent to them concerning that particular college as Renee Sharpless and Becky Meyers are do- ing. 180 Feature Leslie Kight and Shari Copeland find acting humorous a way to make the day go faster.

Really? Were you afraid to tell your friends who cut down the teach- er that you really liked, but you would not speak up and say I like that teacher. Maybe it could have been a crush or you could have been the teacher’s pet or you could know the teacher outside of school. Well, whatever your reasons, you know what they say. To each his own! “T like teachers you can kid around with and be comfortable around, like Mr. Buckley and Miss Reeves,” said Lynn Welch. She went on to say, “But sometimes the students take advantage of the lack of discipline and the teacher ends up yelling at students all the time. So as far as a good teacher, along with discipline, goes, I think Coach Woods is prob- ably my favorite teacher. I really hated History but the way he taught it gave me passing grades. He ex- plains things very well, helps stu- dents anytime they need it, and gives everyone a chance. Coach Woods grades pretty fair. If anyone ever got a bad grade in his class, they prob- ably deserved it.” Have you ever really hated a teacher? Well, you are not alone and probably never will be! There could be a number of reasons why you de- spise that certain teacher. Maybe the teacher had embarrased you in some way or you think they have graded you poorly. You know that teachers can also feel the same way about students. “There are some students teachers like and some we dislike. I’m sure students like and dislike some of us, too. It’s only natural,” said Mr. Doug Buckley. He added, “It also gets a little monotonous when you come to class every day and work in the books without getting a break. I al- ways try to give my students a break at the end of the period or at the beginning with current events.” Faculty 185 Southern’s Seniors Take Over Mrs. Penny B.

Now let us see which student suited for Mr. Luther Par- rack’s job? How about Jack Clark? That sounds good! Miss Henrietta Lease’s job would go to Michelle Sheltra. Who would be suitable for Miss Anna Bishop’s job? Luann Wilson might be able to handle this one. Andy Marple could surely handle Miss Linda Reeves’ art classes with Rodney Swiger talking his way into Mr. Fred Pratt’s English classes. A replacement for Mr. Doug Buckley would have to be one of his favorite students - Gary Hardesty. To take Mr. Joe Heatherman’s place would be the 1984 worst driv- er, Wendy Beitzel. To replace Mrs. Helen Rostosky we would elect Ann Lohr. A replacement for Mrs. Alice Eary would be Carol Tasker. Curt Friend could take the place of Mr. Robert Quickl. Why not put a male secretary in place of Mrs. Betty Lou Liller - Jeff Meyers might consider it. Stop to think how Southern High School would be run if these 1984 Seniors came back and took over. Southern would never be the same. Students would like the changes but would never get any work done. “T would make all the kids in school wear T-shirts with dif- ferent sayings on them. One day out of the week I would let them do their own thing. There would be more trips and when they’re on the trip, the kids could have parties on the bus. In between classes I would freaks and do freaked-out things. If a kid got in trouble instead of putting them in time out, I would let them spend the day partying with me. If two kids got into a fight, I would take them to the gym and let them fight it out. I would let the kids go out for lunch and have ten minutes to get to your give them an hour to eat or par- next class. I would let the kids ty.” Jamout during lunch and go How would you like to attend crazy. I’d have days when kids this school? Perhaps your kids came to school dressed up like could have the privilege.

The comedy Porky’s tied for first place with an equal 21 percent of the student vote. Tallied in at second place was the teenage comedy Risky Business, gaining ten percent of the votes. When asked about the type of movie they most enjoyed viewing, a laughing 58 percent majority of Southern’s students chose a comedy. The romantics of the school directed 28 percent of the votes toward a love story. The famous comedian Richard Pryor, who has played in such movies as Stir Crazy and The Toy, was voted as the favorite actor with 25 percent of the votes. Eddie Murphy, Burt Reynolds, and Richard Geare each collected nine percent of Southern’s votes. Nancy McKeon of The Facts of Life and Jane Fonda, who starred in On Golden Pond, each accumu- lated 28 percent of the votes for favorite actress.

The talented Pat Benetar is highly noted for her sexy body, good looks, and talented singing voice. Other favorite female vocalists are Stevie Nicks with her wild clothes and sexy voice, and Joan Jett with her rough image and good selection of songs. Billy Joel turned out to be at the top of the list for the most well liked male vocalist. Kelly Green stated, “He sure is a fox!’ Mr. Joel is also popular because of his good variety of songs, great lyrics, and macho im- age. Jackson Browne, with his Got to be Somebody’s Baby hit from the teen movie Fast Times at Ridge- mont High, and Michael Jackson, with his top selling album Thriller, are also two very well liked male vo- calists. Although many have other favorites, sexy Pat Bene- tar, and foxy Billy Joel, with their great music, songs, and videos, are at the top of the list.

It would be nice to see the real person.” This along with many other comments were received when guys were asked their views on make-up and the way it is used. Do guys feel girls spend too much money on make- up along with wearing too much? Most said yes. One guy stated, “I feel they spend too much time and money on make-up. Why can’t they just be them- selves?” Would you like to take the chance to see girls with- out their make-up? This was one of the many ques- tions asked and the responses were: 37% said they would like to risk it; 43% stated definitly not; and the remaining 20% did not care either way.

In the summer everyone has a certain place where they like to get away from it all. Out of the twenty- nine people asked, ten said that they prefer Florida. Their main reasons were the sun, fun and guys girls. Margaret Oliverio summed it all up when she said, “I like Florida because I need it bad.” Hawaii and Niagara Falls came in second having four people each. Hawaii was chosen for its warm climate and beaches, and people chose Niagara Falls because of the beautiful scenery. Joey Shaffer was one of the three people who chose Virginia. Joey said, “I like Virginia because Busch Gardens has lots of good looking girls, great rides, and food.” California came in next with two people. They chose it because of the sun and the beaches. Other people had different vacation spots in mind. For example, Mr. Bill Hogan said, “I like New Eng- land-specifically New Hampshire.

One student stated, “I am an owner of a horse and I think they are very bril- liant animals.” Most of the students asked said that they loved their pets as if it were a brother, sister or very close relative whom they cared for very much.

The Patrol was started by Min- | nie Doyle after a friend died skiing because no one was qualified to help him. With over 100,000 mem- 7 bers, the Patrol’s main objective is immediate first | aid on the hill. Barry Sweitzer, a Junior Patroller, commented, | “Not only was it an enjoyable season, but it was a great practical learning experience.” Brian Fowler said, ‘““Not only did the Ski Patrol | improve my skiing and first aid skills, but it gave me a chance to use them by helping other skiers.” This year Southern had three students and a teacher on the Patrol; Barry Sweitzer, a Junior Pa- troller; Brian Fowler and Diana Savage, candidates; and Mr. William Freyman, a Senior Patroller and Patrol Leader for the Wisp Ski Patrol. Both candi- dates have passed their first aid requirements and Barry has passed both his first aid and skiing re quirements. we euege 994-9923 y|---f Te 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m 32 S.

However, Mr. Pratt received twenty-five percent and Mr. Buckley re- ceived forty-four percent. The students’ reasons for these answers were be- cause they liked teachers that did not give a lot of homework or they thought they understood students.

Well, for many the wish of school cancellations came true and many days of school were missed by Mother Nature and her blanket of snow and decorations of ice. With so many snowy school days off, many students took the time to catch up on homework. Well, truth- fully, a lot of students caught up on sleep, sleep, and sleep. Some stu- dents took the time to hit the ski slopes and practice their downhill skills. But, did anyone ever think about what was to lie ahead? With the days quickly going by, no one ever gave a thought to the sunshine, warm water, and sandy beaches. No one realized that summer had to de- scend on Garret County one day. Those hot, summer days with a nice dip in the lake, and a large, cool glass of lemonade. But, we were all con- tent with our large coats, mittens, and mug of cocoa. The missing of school did not bother many seniors, who did not have to make-up any of the missed days. The seniors were dismissed from school May 23, 1984, after a three day week of finals. The class of 1984 was able to leave school, and graduate in the sparkle of sunshine. As June rolled around, many sad faces could be seen in the windows of Southern. Visions of swimming and laying out in the sun could be seen on the faces of many underclassmen. So, when June 15, finally made its debut, it was the beginning of sum- mer vacation, and summer fun. But, when the school bells ring again, and you wish for school cancellations, just remember, summer will soon be here... . again! Terry Otto and Jeff Simpson are not too sure if they are pleased or not with the end of school. Steve Friend, Lissa and Lawre Fleming board their bus.
