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.

P | The tradition lives on in Beauti- ful Western Maryland’s Play- ground. 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
