Her art project helps to keep Jenny Evans busy. 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

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.
