Spirit mounts as Southern rises to the top What do painted faces, cut up clothes, nerds, and punks all have in common? These are just a few of the many ways in which students at Southern High School exhibit- ed their enthusiastic and somewhat outlandish support of their football team during the 1984 football season. Student spirit at Southern High School was on a defi- nite upswing as the team completed victory after victory. The great success of the team gained them the honor of holding the first play-off game at Southern’s home field and the outstanding support of the students, as well as faculty, at Southern High School. Tonya Bray, a senior, stated, ‘As a cheerleader, I feel the spirit in the school this year is tremendous. The participa- tion among the students is unbelievable. The faculty has also helped the spirit this year. I hope the spirit stays on the upswing throughout basketball season.” A pep assembly was held in honor of the players the day before the play-off game which included many skits and the performance of the local rock band, Monta Vista. @ Leading a crowd of enthusias- tic Ram fans is senior cheer- leader, Tonya Bray.

Something new Can an old dog be taught new tricks? Southern stu- dents proved that it was possible. In addition to the many concrete additions to the school, some new policies were added, and several old policies were modified. The students’ smoking lounges were taken away from both of the county’s high schools. The tardy policies were also changed to a system which allowed only three tardies per semester. After the fourth tardy, a suspens ion would result. One added restriction, which was very controversial, was the limited amount of time given to the students to walk around the halls before school. Students were re- quired to stay in the gym or cafeteria until 8:25 a.m. This was put into effect in an effort to reduce the trouble which was thought to originate before school in the past. When asked how she felt about all the new rules, Sara Roberson responded, “Last year everything kind of got out of hand. However, this year, along with the discipline, we are getting many more privileges.” Lisa Shahan practices her life saving skills. € Scott Stem admires his outfit on spirit day.

One of the major changes was the placement of Mr. Arthur Refosco as our principal. Mr. Refosco replaced Mr. Luther Parrack, who was promoted to a position on the Garrett County Board of Education. Some other additions to Southern were the construction of a track field, two new tennis courts, and a new girls’ softball field. Along with these athletic fields came a men’s and women’s track and field team, a men’s and women’s tennis team, and some very happy athletes. Southern’s athletic program had finally been expanded and updated. When asked how Mr. Refosco felt the new changes affected the students’ attitudes towards school, he re- sponded, “The entire staff and student body have re- sponded most graciously to the many changes that were implemented at Southern High School. I honestly feel and sense a positive attitude at Southern High School. I am indeed proud to be a part of the 1984-85 school year.” ®Mr. Arthur Refosco an- nounces that Dean Sullivan has been named principal of the day due to his excellent spirit. � Daina Savage helps Mr. David Bender play his part on red and white day. 6 Opening @ Tim Sanders and Jamie Thom- as tensely concentrate on the outcome of the Southern-Mus- selman game. 4 Chelle White entertains the photographer while Tracy Martin looks on with amusement. @ Heather Savage, Miss Jane Avery, and Chris Oliverio dis- play their Halloween spirit. @ Debbie Mason shows her unique hair style on Crazy Hair Day. Opening 7 Homecoming Queen Renee Sharpless Autumn Glory Queen Wendy Grove STUDENT LIFE Wendy: The float was. . scary .. on to Yearbook: Wendy, how were you chosen as Autumn Glory Queen? Wendy: All of the candidates had to fill out an applica- tion which asked for a list of our school activities, our community activities, and a paragraph explaining why we felt we would be a good candidate for Autumn Glory Queen. A committee of teachers and students made the final choice. Yearbook: Renee, how were you chosen as Homecom- ing Queen? Renee: First of all, the queen candidate had to be a member of GAA and her escort had to be a member of the football team. A list of the girls in GAA was sent around to the homerooms. From that list, seniors voted for their favorite candidates. The candidate with the most votes became queen with the others becoming her court. Yearbook: Wendy, were you excited about being queen? Wendy: It was a great honor and I was really looking forward to representing Southern High School in the Gar- rett County Autumn Glory Festival. I had always looked up to the queens before and I felt very honored. Yearbook: Renee, did you feel honored becoming Homecoming Queen? Renee: Yes, because, like Wendy, I had always looked up to the queens in the past and I always wished I could someday be out there representing my school and my classmates. Yearbook: Wendy, what were your thoughts as you rode high on the float in the parade? Wendy: First of all, if anyone saw the float, they could see that it was very high and kind of scary because there really wasn’t much to hold on to. I was kind of afraid I 8 Division Page wasn’t much to hold Renee: I had a little bit of both fear and honor. might fall off and make a complete fool of myself. But, for the most part, I was very happy. I felt I got a lot more support than I thought I would, and people I hadn’t seen in a long time and many people I didn’t even recognize knew me and waved back to me. Yearbook: How much waving did you do? Wendy: A lot and I did a lot of smiling, too. Yearbook: Did your arm and smile get tired? Wendy: My arm didn’t get as tired as my smile. My mouth got really tired, but I had to keep smiling anyway. Yearbook: Wendy, what was your reaction to seeing your picture plastered all over the Autumn Glory literature? Wendy: At first, I was really self-conscious about it because some of the pictures weren't the most flattering, but after a while, I got used to it and was really proud. Yearbook: Renee, it appeared to the yearbook staff there was a lot more support this year for Homecoming and hall decorating, etc. Did you think so? Renee: Yes, I thought there was a lot more support this year. In the past the Homecoming Court or anything to do with it never got as much attention as it did this year. Yearbook: Why do you think there was a change this year? Renee: There were more seniors in GAA this year and they wanted to make their last Homecoming the best. I thought the dance, overall, was the best one I have ever been to. Yearbook: Renee, what was your reaction dancing in front of everyone? Renee: A little bit of both fear and honor. I feared that everyone was watching me but it was also a great honor. Wendy Grove, Autumn Glory Queen, rides the antique fire truck in the Fireman's Parade with Oakland fireman, Joe Helbig, driving.

The annual antique show at the Oakland Armory drew = © Crowned as Miss Charm, Kim tourists and collectors from miles around. There were ree: coon ca bat lice many antiques welcome to the eye, such as: dolls, crys- tal, coins, furniture, and even antique jewelry. Another room in the Armory was reserved for homemade crafts including paintings and woodwork. One student who attended the antique show said, “I thought the show was okay. The part I liked the best was the older an- tiques. The crafts were okay, but the pictures and older crafts were better.” The Oakland College Center located on Center Street served as a craft extravaganza. In every room of the building one could gaze at beautiful artwork and homemade items. A very interesting thing about that show was that you got to see the things being made. Several artistic workers set up booths where you could watch their talent being performed. An event which helped kick off Autumn Glory was Oktoberfest, which is held in the Oakland Fire Hall. Just like the annual celebration in Munich, this Okto- berfest had plenty of good cheer, food, and beer. There was even a live oompah band. A lot of time went into preparing for the parade, making floats and setting up food booths, but now that it is all over, everyone can look forward to next year’s festivities. m.' ae vF One of the many band @ Michelle Hesen and Lisa Sav- members waits to perform age, Miss Maryland Charm, his part in the parade. are happy to be part of the parade. Autumn Glory 11 W. Grove, Queen There are several things which are associated with Fall: brightly colored leaves, freshly-baked pies, and pump- kins, which have been carefully carved to serve as a jack- o-lantern. Another mentionable item, which occurs in the Fall, is the annual Autumn Glory Parade. This parade had provided excitement for all those who live in Oakland and for the tourists who come to watch and enjoy the atmosphere. The parade this year was enhanced by marching bands, the Ali-Ghan Shriners, entertaining clowns, and moun- tain men dressed in their buckskin and coon caps. Also participating in the parade were various clubs, such as: 4- H, Girls Scouts, and FFA, all of whom rode on specially designed floats. As in the years before, the parade reached a climax when the Autumn Glory Queen passed through the crowd. Reigning as queen this year was Miss Wendy Grove, daughter of Robert and Virginia Grove. Holding the title of queen provides a feeling of honor and excite- ment, as in which case, Wendy stated, “I had a great time at all the Autumn Glory festivities. The crowd turnout and their enthusiasm was excell ent. The weather was gor- geous and all the events were really well planned out.

One couple said, “The only thing wrong with the dance was the band. Monte Vista is a good band, but not at a dance. A Homecoming Dance needed slow = , not hard rock.

Mrs. Smith also said that there are not too many places you can go out for the evening and only spend $5.00 to get in. @ After being crowned Home- ® Standing in front of Home- coming Princess by Mr. Ar- coming Court are Breanne thur Refosco, principal, Renee Miller and Michael Ritchie.

They were: Monday-Black day, Tuesday- , Red and white day, Wednesday-Crazy tie day, Thurs- day-Nerd day, and Friday-Transvestite day. Students also decorated class hallways. Juniors won ’ for best hall. There were really many creative ideas and the school was filled with spirit. A k f “Spirit week seemed very wild this year.

Another trend for hair was to have a spiky look or to have the hair stand straight up on top of the head. One fashion statement for the guy was to have their left ear pierced. As one junior stated, “I think it looks cool and tough. My folks weren’t thrilled but they have gotten used to it. Mom even got me an earing.” A finger fashion for the girls was to own a gold finger- nail. These fingernails were usually worn on their pinky and ring fingers. One senior said, “I feel they are unique and good conversation pieces.” Flor clothing trends, most anything went from two- toned jeans, pumps, dressy styles to punk styles. One that stood out in the crowd were neon colors. Everything from jewelry, shirts, dresses and socks became shocking pinks, florescent orange, ultra green and electric yellow.

Fashion 19 20 Quebec French class goes to Quebec Many of the students, who have taken at least two years of French, were looking forward to a trip to France this year. Since they were unable to visit France, they traveled to Quebec, Canada. A lot of the students did not know if they would like Quebec because they were not sure if it was going to be like France, and they wanted to experience European culture. All of the students enjoyed Quebec and found it very similar to Old France. ‘The trip to Quebec was a very good cultural experience. We were able to get an idea of European culture even though we never crossed the ocean,” said Robby Germain. So on March 27th, at 12:00 midnight, a bus departed from Southern High School destined for Quebec City, Canada. After a 16 hour bus trip, the 16 students from Southern High School arrived in Quebec. The 16 students from Southern were not the only students to make the trip. A group of students from Northern also traveled with them. Bryan Custer had this to say when asked how he felt about the students from Northern going along: “The trip to Quebec was really fun and unique experience. The best part of the trip was @ After along day of site seeing, Dave Biser, Robby Germain, Bryan Custer, Liz Burdock, and Johnna Marple find time to relax in their hotel room. Behind the camera is where you can always find Mr. Low- ell Leitzel. the opportunity to talk and get to know some of the people from Northern.” After many new friendships were made, the students were taken site seeing, and given a chance to use the French they had learned in class. The students were taken to see the Citadel, Laval University, the Plains of Abraham, the Parliament building, and they were taken on a boat ride across the St. Lawerence River. They also saw the beautiful countryside of Quebec, as well as the city life of Quebec City. They were able to experience French food in the fine restaurants of Quebec. In the afternoon and evening the students were given free time. Many of the students went shopping in the small, unique stores that line the city streets. In the evening they were able to go to several different activi- ties: rollar skating, disco dancing, a movie and a Deep Purple concert. When asked about the trip, Mr. Leitzel said, “The attitude of the students impressed me very much. They seemed eager to explore new things and learn more about Quebec. As a whole, the trip was excellent.” Not very happy about going to dinner is Jeff Haines. @ Miss Norris (advisor from Northern) and Mr. Lowell Leitzel seem to be enjoying the trip to Quebec. @ First Row: Susan Fedde, Sines, Jill Kremer, Jeff Haines, Johnna Marple, Liz Burdock, Lori Shaffer, Mary Bolden.

Quebec 21 This year, Southern achieved another first. For the first time in Southern’s history, both girls and boys basketball teams went to a state play-off. At 9:00 Thursday morning, the buses were ready to pull out for College Park and Catonsville. As the teams left, excitement filled the air. So uth e rn Se nds The boys traveled to College Park, Maryland, where they faced the Havre DeGrace Warriors. The game was held at Cole Field House. The boys last trip to College CWO teams tO state Park was three years ago when they met Chrisfield. The girls traveled to Catonsville Community Col- f lege where they faced the Snow Hill Eagles. This was Pp ay O S the second year in a row the girls traveled to a state play-off. Spectator buses were taken to both games. After the boys game, the buses rushed over to Catonsville to cheer the girls on. Even though both teams were defeat- ed, the fans were spirited throughout the entire game.

This was the feeling of the seniors who participated in the Sr. Class Play this year. The play was Double Exposure, which was written by Jack Sharkey. The mem- bers of the cast and crew had many preparations to make in order to portray the play in its true sense. The set props had to be made, lines had to be memorized, and costumes had to be found. The setting was of a Spanish style with surrounding palm trees- exactly the elegance that could inspire the seniors to preform an excellent play. Allen Sharpless had this to say: “Putting together the set was our most difficult task. It took hours and it didn’t seem like we were getting anywhere. The set raise was a good experience, but I wouldn’t want to do it again.” Although things were a little hectic, the preparations brought about a successful play. Double Exposure was well liked within the school and community. The play offered an experience in which the members could look back on. “I wanted to do something neat my senior year, and I felt the play was the perfect thing.” This was one of the thoughts of Denise Householder, a mem- ber of the cast. @ Since he is not used to apply- @ “Let's be Friends’, says Denise ing make-up, Mike Whitmer Householder to Kurk Turney. wonders what to do next.

A profitable experience Under the bright lights and surrounding palm trees, the Senior Class of 1985 performed Double Exposure. The setting offerred the inspiration which was needed to per- form such an outstanding play in so little time. Imagine yourself as a rich writer, actress, or actor. The seniors who participated became these people. They had the opportunity to portray the lifestyles of influential people that have totally different personalities from themselves. The cast members did their jobs very well. This was proven by the overwelming responses from the school and the community. Mike Whitmer had this to say: “The play was well received by the public and the school, so I think that was the most satisfying part of it.” The Senior Class Play was very profitable. The play cleared approximately $475.00. This money went entirely for the Senior Class Trip to Kennywood. The money helped defray the cost in which the seniors had to pay. Mr. Barry Shaffer commented: “Double Exposure was an enjoyable play to direct. It isn’t often that you can find a group of students who fully devote their time to make your job easier.” 4 Portraying his part as Sidney ™ John Carter, Phil Cosner, is Allen Sharpless.

This was the third year that Southern had been involved in SES (School Exchange Service), with students from West Germany. The exchange is also in conjunction with the Council on International Exchange and the National Association of Secondary School Principals. The exchange between Southern and the Gymnasium Sulingen (a university-preparatory high school), began in 1981 and has shown to be a great success. The twenty-one Germans arrived for their three-week stay on March 22. During their stay, they were involved in many school activities, not to mention spending time with their host families. On April 9 the Germans and their host students had a field trip in Garrett County. Some of the places of interest were the Republican office, Swan Meadow School, and Sweetwater Sugar Maple Farm. The students also got to see an Amish farm owned by John Yoder. This was especially interesting for the Germans because the Amish also speak German and have a great deal of German heritage. Other activities which kept the Germans busy were swimming at Alpine Lake, rollerskating, a dance at the Teen Center, and a tour of Baltimore and Washington D. C., which lasted for two days. The song, We are the World, by USA for Africa, was the theme of the welcome banquet held on March 28. The banquet provided entertainment for the guests and gave host families a chance to get to know the other exchange students. Many of the Germans thought they were very fortunate to have gotten the chance to come to the United States. Georg Dorny, hosted by Brenda Uphold, said, “I can’t describe how happy I am to have come to the U.S. It’s a dream which has become true.” There were others who plan to return again, such as Katrin Vondran, hosted by Susan Loomis. She said, “It’s a sure thing I’ll come back, because I love America and its people so much.” To complete the German exchange of 1985, 10 students from Southern will be travelling to Sulingen, and will be hosted by the same students whom they hosted. @ Markus Nunnerich catches some sleep before their departure. German Exchange 31 Juniors in court The attorneys whispered anxiously while waiting for the judge’s decision. Had they won their case? Three wit- nesses sat nervously and wondered how much their state- ments had helped the case. Then the judge came out of his chamber and ruled in favor of the Southern High School Mock Trial team. The had won their first case against Fort Hill High School. The SHS Mock Trial team was a great new addition to the list of teams who made it to state semi-finals. This was the first year for the SHS Mock Trial team which made it a little-known team to many people. The team consisted of eight Juniors who never thought they would make it through their first trial, but winning their first trial was not the end of their success. They won two more trials against South Hagerstown and Allegany High Schools before winning the district competition in Frederick against North Carroll High School. This win took them to Annapolis for two days to compete in the state championships. They lost in the semi-finals, but their trip was a terrific experience. Susan Fedde stated, ‘The meeting with the governor and all the other experiences we all had are things that I will remem- ber for a long time.” That summed up the feelings of the team members concerning the entire Mock Trial experience. The team members took turns playing the parts of attorneys and witnesses. Their advisors were Mrs. Shirley Spiker and Mr. Louis Newcomb who are teachers at Southern Middle School. Mr. Robert Boal was the SHS coordinator and Mr. Michael Morrissette was the attor- ney who helped them with the legal aspects of the case.

This year the class of 1986 had the opportunity to turn the 1985 prom night from fan tasy to reality. The junior class prom committee met afterschool ev- ery Wednesday to plan and get ready for prom. One junior, Liz Burdock, commented: “Planning for over 200 seniors was hard, but we could not satisfy all of them. ) We did our best.” | After many disputes about voting on the theme and | colors of prom, it was decided upon. The decision was Plans, ideas, and decision are all part of a job assigned made to go with Southern Nights as the theme, and lavander and silver as the colors. As Saturday, May 11, 1985, came closer and closer, the committee had to hold an election for prom court. The court had been chosen and prom was only one week away. The preparation committee went to the McHenry House on Friday, May 10, 1985, and spent the day deco- rating for a night to remember. Finally after weeks and weeks of planning, the 1985 prom went off like a boom. @ Tracy Bray is caught monkey- ing around when she was to be decorating for prom. @ Betsy Thayer keeps her mind on her work during the work on prom.

A Night to Remember The lights were dim. Music was playing. Couples were dancing. This was the scene of the 1985 Junior-Senior Prom. On May 11, 1985, all the prom-goers got all decked out in their formal attire. Excitement was in the atmosphere as the couples began to arrive. The scenery of the prom created romance. This year the prom colors were lavender and silver. It made a nice atmosphere for those who spent much time and money to prepare for the special night. For weeks, stores were searched for that special gown, each girl hoping to find one that no one else had pur- chased. Once found, the hopes of looking extra-terrific in that special gown brought anxiety to all prom-goers. Shawn Reed commented, “Prom was really nice this year. The band wasn’t as good as it could have been, but other than that, prom was nice. Everything and everyone looked good, and people seemed to be having a good time.” The prom this year was a huge success. Most students who went to the prom really enjoyed themselves. The student body can thank those who were in charge of prom preparations and the teachers and parents who chaperoned. Prom 37 A memorable experience Everyone said that the high school years are the best years of your life. This was proven to be true on May 11, 1985. This was prom night. Prom was a time of romance and enjoying the company of someone you care about. For the students of Southern, prom night was a time to get dressed up in formal clothes and go out with friends.

Southern spiri n spirit Every year graduation is a time for many emotions. Most Seniors are glad to be finished with homework, and high school in general; but sad to be leaving four years of their lives behind. Many seniors are leaving Southern High School with memories of their first prom, sports events, band competitions, and maybe even a first date. For some, time passed slowly and still others did not realize how quickly a senior year could fly by. Graduation also gives some people who want out of Garrett County a chance to move. Graduation means more responsibility, independence, and freedom. The Seniors saw many changes at Southern this year. A new principal with many new ideas seemed to challenge every senior to make wise decisions to set good examples for the rest of the school. One Senior commented on the changes: ‘The school has really cleaned up its act this year. The students are more respectful and spirited. I think a lot of credit goes to Mr. (Arthur) Refosco. The Seniors this year had school spirit.” Teachers seem to feel this was one of the most spirited classes to come through SHS. The Seniors had some super athletes who showed their spirit by carrying their teams to states. Student Council had spirited Senior representa- tives who were always interested in making Southern the best. Senior cheerleaders, band members, spirit squaders, and Ram mascots were all great examples of senior spirit, too. If there had been less senior spirit, our school would not be so proud. Southern owes the Seniors a lot for making the school and its students number one. @ Scott O'Neill and Betty Sisler walk together during the procession.

Senior Class President, Wendy Grove, welcomes the graduates and their parents to graduation. Senior controversy This year the Seniors were out of school a long time before the rest of the students and faculty. This caused a lot of controversy concerning senior make-up days, finals and teachers’ work-loads. People are taking sides in this matter and the opinions. Getting out of school early is one of the only senior privileges. Senior privileges were important because they distinguished between a ninth grader who has three more years of hard work and a Senior who has worked hard for four years and finally made it. Even a few teachers commented on the lack of senior privleges. One teacher stated, ‘Seniors used to be able to go out for lunch. This is one example of an extinct Senior privlege. I am not saying that going out to lunch is a good idea. All I am saying is that I feel senior privleges are a good idea. Getting out early is a way to reward the Seniors for making it.” There was another side to this situation. Some teachers felt that the Seniors created disturbances after graduation practices and during days when the rest of the school was still in session. A few teachers were left with only two or three classes after the Seniors graduated. Some felt that Presenting Becky Meyers with Anxiously wanting to takeher there was a sudden lack of attention by the remaining an imaginary diploma is Miss _ turn in the procession is Beth students.

Graduation 43 A good tradition comes back Long ago there used to be a Graduation Awards Cere- mony, but it vanished from graduation activities at Southern. After several years of not having a ceremony, the tradition was brought back. There were many changes in the ceremony. For exam- ple, it used to be held during the school day as an assem- bly for the students, but this year it was held in the evening for the graduates’ parents. Another change is that this year it was called a Tea and Reception and refresh- ment were provided for the graduates and their parents by Mrs. Pat Powers and the students in the school’s Home Ec Dept. “The Tea and Reception put on by Mrs. Pat Powers’ Home Ec., was fabulous. I thought it was good to get the awards out of the way before graduation,” said Mr. Doug Buckley. The Graduation Tea and Reception makes graduation a lot shorter. Tracy Buckley said, “I thought the awards ceremony turned out rather well. It only lasted about forty-five minutes. I was glad we had it because that would have been too much to sit through during graduation.” The Graduation Tea and Reception adds a lot to gradua- tion, and hopefully once again it will last as a tradition. ae ES Ta Dwr pa ee 2 2B @ Kelly Stuatteand (Barry Sweitzer seem to be taking the awards ceremony less serious then Walter Williams and Mike Whitmer. ® After the awards ceremony, Mr. Arnold Feather, Wes Dix- on and Lois Wilson enjoy the refreshments provided by 44 Graduation Awards Home Ec. @ Guidance Counselor Les McDaniel presents Kim De- Berry and Brian Fowler with “ After receiving her award, Ju- PAFA Awards. lie Harvey smiles with sucess. ¢ Salutatorian John Leininger returns to his seat after reciev- ing an award. °% Mr. Jerry Kremer presents Te- resa Rager with the Lion’s Club Chorus Award. @ Recieving his Vocational Ad- visory Award for Drafting from Mrs. Phyliss Tricket is Barry Sweitzer. @ Mr. Arthur Refosco presents Joell Winters with the Valedic- torian Award.

Dave: I think everybody was really disappointed be- cause we were expecting a big win. I guess they just came in fired up. We were thinking about play-offs instead of thinking about Northern. . Yearbook: Jenny, how do you feel the basketball team did this year? Jenny: I felt that people put a lot of pressure on us because last year the team went to States, and they expected us to make it without any trouble. Yearbook: Dave, how did you feel when they decided to have the football playoffs for the first time on South- ern’s field? Dave: We knew 7 or 8 games into the season that if we went undefeated or had just one loss, there was a good chance of Southern hosting play-offs. The coach reminded us before each game that if we came out and played real hard that we could host play-offs. Yearbook: Jenny, the Cumberland papers had you headlined quite a few times as the top female player in the area. Did that help or hinder your playing ability? Jenny: It put quite a lot of pressure on me. It was kind of embarrassing after a while—especially when the whole team was responsible for the wins, not just me. If the ball hadn’t been passed to me, I couldn’t have scored. Yearbook: Dave, out of the three sports you play— football, basketball, and baseball—which is your favorite? Dave: That’s a very hard question to answer. I guess football and baseball are my two favorites. 46 Sports Division Southern sports superstars Dave McLaughlin and Jenny Hillen SPORTS Dave: Football and baseball are my two favorites. Yearbook: Jenny, what were your thoughts when you saw all of the Southern fans at Catonsville for play-offs? Jenny: I looked up in the crowd and I couldn't be- lieve it. It was packed! I’ve never played with all of those people in the crowd. Knowing that everyone was supporting us got us fired up and made us feel like playing harder. Yearbook: Dave, how did you feel about the huge size of Cole Field House in College Park? Dave: We went over the Thursday night before the game in order to get a feel of the place. When we first walked in, we got chills because we knew that we were going to be playing the next day and it’s a really big lace. 4 Yearbook: Jenny, what does Coach (Don) Stemple say after a victory or after a defeat? Are the words the same? Jenny: Sometimes, after a win, he tells us that we shouldn't have won because we didn’t play that well. However, after the win over Valley, he was just speech- less-he was so happy. Yearbook: Dave, what do you think of the spirit at Southern?’ Dave: It seems like over the past two years the sup- port Southern has given its athletes has really gone up. It seemed to start last year during football season and just keeps going up. It’s hard to play when there are only about 50 people watching, but when there are 500 to 1000, you just want to go as hard as you can. The support at College Park was great!

The best of the best “We had a super season even better than our 9-2 record reflects. This team had a certain chemistry, and because of this we beat some teams tnat were probably more talent- ed,” said Assistant Coach Fred Gregg, when asked about the 1984 Ram football season. Many key factors contributed to the success of the var- sity football team. The fact that many of the seniors had started at varsity positions since their sophomore year added much experience to the team. This squad also had many returning starters. The strong offensive line held off tough defensives as Quarterback J.R. Gibson ran for 198 yards and completed 63 of 127 passes for 928 yards. Sophomore Bruce Bosley added to the success of the team by rushing for 896 yards. Senior Steve Bennet contributed to the Southern vic- tories by breaking the school pass receiving record by catching 43 passes for 716 yards this past season. Bennett was also named the A Area Defensive Player of the Year and he broke the A Area Interception Record with a total of 24 interceptions. In the biggest games of the year against Mussleman, Keyser, and Hampshire, the Ram defensive came through in tough situations and secured Ram victories over these teams. On the way to state play-offs, Southern was derailed by a record poor Northern team, which has to be the biggest upset in the school’s history. Assistant Coach Fred Gregg had this to say: “It is tough to lose to teams you know you should beat, but it was a year of excitement and thrills.” 2nd Row: Mike Smith, Jay Stew- art, Mike Mongold, Warren Li- vengood, Scott Werdebaugh, Bruce Bosley, John Lewis, Steve Schrock, Jamie Thomas, Mark Riley. 3rd Row: Coach Tom Woods, Coach Tom Bosley, Coach Dave Bosley, Dave McLaughlin, Allen Sharpless, Kurk Turney, Billy Hesen, J.R.

Varsity Football 49 State play-offs - A Southern tradition Region I Class C State Football Play-offs have become a tradition for the Southern Ram footbal team. The Rams, under the leadership of Head Coach Tom Woods, have made the trip to play-offs four times in the last six years. This year the Rams were seeded second in the state and this enabled them to host their play-off games against James M. Bennett, from Salisbury, MD., in Oakland. This was a first in the history of the school and Garrett County. The Garret County Commissioners designated Novem- ber 17th as Southern Ram Day in honor of the team’s winning season and their play-off game against James M. Bennett. The Rams faced James M. Bennett with much enthusi- asm and determination. “Every player went into the game all fired up and ready to play the hardest we possibly could. The huge crowd was in our favor and we were excited by the spirit of the school the entire week,” said senior Allen Sharpless. The Rams were not able to get the ball in the end zone, and the cold weather caused seven fumbles for the Rams. Consequently, James M. Bennett arose with a 7-0 victory. Head Coach Tom Woods said, “Our semi-final loss to James M. Bennett was a disappointment, but we felt we had given a great effort. Our seven fumbles attributed to the final score, but we felt happy with the amount of pride and dedication in which our team performed.” Even though the Rams did not advance in the State Play-offs and capture the Class C Football Champion- ship, the Rams did capture the 1984 Potomac Valley and Highland Football Conference Championships. The Rams had several players make the P.V.C, H.F.C,,and All Area Teams. Head Coach Tom Woods was also named Coach of the Year. @ Dr. Dan Miller discuss the ® After making his tackle, Billy Ram Strategies with Terry Hesen runs to the Ram King. sideline. | 50 Varsity Football While taking a break from the © Discussing the next play are game, Scott O'Neill watches Coach Tom Woods and Allen the action on the field.

Yes, once again football season has struck the hearts of many young athletic boys. The Junior Varsity team, coached by Mr. Jim Bosley, terminated their season with a two-two and one record. The young athletes were hard at practicing in the mid- dle of summer. Breaking the newcomers in right with the varsity team is one aspect of Coach Jim Bosley. When asking freshman, J.R. Bosley, how he felt playing football for the first time at Southern he quoted, “I felt playing football for Southern was a great, challenging experience. I think our team had a fair season, considering the mix- @ Hunter DeBerry, Asst. coach Joe Everd and Head coach Jim Bosley stare in amazement at the Bruce game.

The experience and performance of the young characters give them a sense of pride and dignity. Scott Lohr had this to say when he was questioned about being a part of the Junior Varsity football program and how he felt about having the title of a Southern football player: “Even though I didn’t play much because of an injury, I had fun and I feel our team did very well. I hope next year we can have a season as successful as this past season.” � Caught in the act, Chester Friend and Shawn Eyler con- centrate on the plays being run by their teammates. 52 JV Football @ With a look of disgust, J.R.

The team finished the season with a 14-6 record. They were off to the play-offs. Coach Oren Yoder said, “We started the season slow due to our tough schedule. We also played most of our early games on the road.” The team proved that they had what it takes; stamina, skill, determination, and team effort. The starters for the 1984-85 season were Scott Stem, Wayne Dixon, Steve Bennett, JR Gibson, and Dave McLaughlin. The remaining players were Jon Reneslacis, Jeff Haines, Jeff Sweitzer and Danny Jackson. Scott was the leading scorer with an average of twenty points a game. Steve followed with twelve points a game. Wayne Dixon stated, “I enjoyed the season a lot, and was proud to be a part of it. I would also like to wish Steve good luck in the future.” NO During practice, Jeff Haines ® Going over pre-game statistics goes in for a lay-up before the Keyser game is Coach Oren Yoder 54 Varsity Basketball During the Bishop Walsh Being closely guarded by a “© Going in for a lay-up is JR game, Steve Bennett guards his Valley opponent is Scott Stem Gibson man @ Frank Custer tapes Dave McLaughlin’s fingers before the Keyser game Varsity Basketball 55 No. 1 team upset by warriors The Southern Rams finished the season seeded number one in the area. With commanding wins over Elk Garden, Northern, and Bruce, they were once again headed for the play-offs. Scott Stem, a senior center, had these thoughts: “The expectations of the team to perform as a unit and exell in the area rankings were accomplished. Many rough times and troubles entered during the season, but Coach Oren Yoder pulled everyone together down the stretch.” The team traveled to Allegany High School to begin their pursuit of the state championship. After winning the regional championship, Southern began packing their bags for College Park. After finishing the play-offs with an upsetting defeat by Harve De Grace, they returned to find that Scott Stem had been selected as Area Player of the Year by the Cum- berland Times-News and Pepsi. Starter, J.R. Gibson, had these comments: “The basket- ball season was great. The season started slow but when we (the team) sorted out our problems, we started rolling like the Big Red Machine should, awesome.” @ Before the Keyser game, J.R. % During practice, Steve Bennett Gibson warms up shoots a jumper 56 Varsity Basketball During warm-ups, Jon Reneslacis stretches.

Basketball team of nine wins and seven losses did not seem that - spectacular, it was. The team went through a lot of changes and conflicts before settling down to some serious basketball. At the beginning of the year, Coach Dave Bender had trouble getting enough Sophomores interested, so he took two Freshmen from Coach Mike Green’s team. Once all the positions were filled, the team was on fire and headed for victory. The crowd liked to see the players give it their all, ° and they loved to see the team come out on top. Pulling Through The players did what the coach instructed, and it really paid off. Scott Lohr reflected, “Practice was long and hard, but when I made a scoring play that I had learned during practice, I knew it was all worth it.” As for the opinion of the players towards the season, Jimmy Liller said, ‘We had a pretty good season con- sidering the things we went through at the beginning of the season.” 4 Eric Rice receives the ball against East Preston.

Although only eight players came out for the team, their hard work and dedication in practice paid off on the court. court. The freshman got off to a blazing start winning their first three games of the season. They surprised the crowd with their never give up attitude. The freshman faced a difficult challenge during the mid-season by playing the two best teams on their sched- ule back-to-back. At Keyser, Jeff King’s last second shot in double overtime put the little Rams up by two at the buzzer. At home, against Tucker County, Jeff's last sec- ond shot fell inches short in another overtime game. They played this type of exciting ball all season long. Mike Ruff was leading rebounder on the team with 140. Jeff King lead in the scoring department with 196. Coach Mike Green has proven to be a fine coach at Southern with two winning seasons in the two years he has been a coach. He commented, “I was really proud of the kids and the season we had. We faced a couple of difficult situations in the beginning of the year, ... in only having eight players, but we hung in there and won 9 of 14 games.

During the summer, the squad traveled to Hood Col- lege in Frederick, Maryland, to attend cheerleading camp. They received every award that the National Cheerleading Association presents. And, out of the six- ty squads that participated, Southern was also honored with the Award of Excellence and the top spirit award. Mandy Bosley had this to say about the overall per- formance of the squad: “I feel this year’s squad was very cooperative. That is what enabled us to do as well as we did at camp. The members were all interested in cheerleading, they were not lazy, and they could take criticism.” This year’s squad had two Seniors and six Sopho- mores. Their performance was outstanding. Tonya Bray said, “I feel that cheering with a squad of Sopho- mores is a great experience. The hardest part was get- ting the girls to realize that they had to work. Overall, my cheering season with these girls was most enjoyable.” @ Row 1: Sandy Mason, Wendy Bosley, Tonya Bray, Traci Martin, and Mandy Bosley Row 2: Kim Grimm, Chelle White, and Shannon Livengood 4@ Cheering her team on to vic- tory against Valley is Sandy Mason. @ Trying to get the crowd fired up during the Beall game is Shannon Livengood. @ Photo courtesy Natural Reflections Varsity Cheerleaders 63 Against the odds Considering all the obstacles that the J.V. cheerleading squad overcame, they managed to have a fairly sucessful season. Early in the summer, the squad had only three mem- bers. In order to fill the spots, the squad held another try- out. This pressured the new girls to learn the cheers and chants in time for basketball season. With the help of their advisor, Mrs. Sandy Smith, and the Varsity cheer- leaders, the new girls handled things very well. The J.V. squad did not get to go to camp as a group, due to the fact that they had only three members over the summer. By the beginning of basketball season, the girls had pulled it together and went on to have a successful season. Captain Robbin Damon said this about the squad: “I feel the overall performance of the squad was pretty good, although we did not really have a chance to get everything learned as well as we could have.” Lorie McCain stated, ‘Due to the circumstances that we experienced, I feel the overall performance was very good.” @ During a time out at the Northern game, Susan Rysca- vage, Robbin Damon, and Elonda Foglepole get the crowd fired up. 64 JV Cheerleaders Cheering on the Rams is Car- @ While doing her cheers, rie Kurtz, Susan Ryscavage, Elonda Foglepole keeps her % Carrie Kurtz cheers her team and Robbin Damon at the eyes on the Keyser game. on to victory over Beall. game against Bruce. @ Row 1: Carrie Kurtz, and Elonda Foglepole Row 2: Su- san Ryscavage, Robbin Da- mon, and Susan Loomis Row 3; Lorie McCain @ Photo courtesy Natural Reflections @ Cheering for a player to make his foul shot during the East Preston game is Carrie Kurtz, Susan Ryscavage, and Robbin Damon. JV Cheerleaders 65 Long live the mascot Could you imagine going to a Ram football or basket- ball game without seeing the Ram mascot? They are there to help cheer the teams to victory and boost the crowd’s morale. Even if the team was on the losing end, they always kept cheering for a victory. Brenda Uphold, the Ram’s mascot, had these feelings: “T liked being a mascot a lot but it took awhile to get used to being in front of all those people. Besides that, it was a lot of fun and I hope next year’s mascot had as much fun aseiecides It is not really hard to become a mascot. You just have to volunteer by asking last year’s mascot and have a lot of courage to be in front of a larger crowd. Then the decision is up to last year’s mascot himself or herself. It is hard to become adjusted to the suit itself. It is made of a thick material which is very hot. The head of the suit is extremely uncomfortable because it is lined with a thin metal wire. When asked how they felt about the mascot, a junior said, “The Ram mascot adds a lot to the games and pep assemblies. The mascot’s uniform is really cute and at- tracts people’s attention.” . @ Looking over her suit is Bren- Making the Sin Rams is Bren- da Uphold da Uphold 66 Mascot Looking at the new scoreboard is sc New scoreboard arrives Do you football fans remember going to the football games and not even look at the scoreboard? Well, you had better take another look. Recently there was a new scoreboard purchased and put up before last year’s play-offs. The old scoreboard was out dated and made the newly renovated football field look bad. The old scoreboard had a couple of different problems. The lights were burnt out along with electrical problems. And the appearance of the scoreboard was deteriorated. The scoreboard was purchased by seven different busi- nesses in the area. My-O-Tire of Oakland donated the largest portion of money. Wes Dixon had these feelings about the new score- board. “It was a greatly needed improvement for the Southern Rams football field. The old scoreboard was in dire need of replacement. This scoreboard should keep our field looking nice for years to come.” With many years of football games to come, this score- board should prove to serve the needs of the fans, players, coaches, and referees. @ The new football scoreboard Scoreboard 67 Young team has spectacular season. Southern golfers had one of their best years ever under the leadership of Coach Don Stemple. This was Coach Stemple’s second year as the golf coach. Mike Hill, Max Hill and Alex Flannigan were rein- forced by freshmen Scott Gonder, Scott Finch, Stan Lam- bert and Art Fedde. Mother nature was kind to the golfers this year. She gave them some great days to show their stuff — and they did just that! Many hours of practice were involved in bringing home top place in the Potomac Valley Conference. Max Hill led the team with the lowest scores, followed closely by Alex Flanigan. The golfers ended the season with a record of 17 wins, 3 loses and 1 tie. The team traveled nearly 500 miles to cover their sched- ule. Their home field was the Oakland Country Club Course. Alex Flanigan enjoyed thinking of this winning season and the highlight was going to College Park. “Even when I am skiing, I’m thinking of next golf season.” says Alex.

The girls traveled to other schools’ courts as well as hosted other teams on their own new court. The court was put in so that we could have a place to practice and have home games. The girls practiced almost every night so they could catch up with the other teams and hopefully have enough experience to maybe beat some opponents. The girls worked well together and really liked what they were doing. One player stated, ‘The practices were long and hard and sometimes I really didn’t feel like going but I knew I had to because every practice seemed to improve my game. It felt really great when we beat our first opponent.” Another player, Liz Burdock, stated, ‘Tennis was a lot of hard work, but it was a lot of fun. When we first started, I didn’t think it would be so hard and take up so much time. I’m really glad I was able to participate in it though.

When asked how he felt about coaching for the first season, Coach Pratt had these feelings: “This first year of coaching tennis was very enjoyable and rewarding. The group o f students involved with the program made it a pleasure to coach.” The Southern Rams tennis team consisted of twelve players and four of them were seniors. The players were: John Dolan, Eric Eiswert, Doug Fike, Scott Finch, Eric Geroski, John Hornyak, Don Loomis, Gary Long, Gordon Savage, Alan Sisler, Kurk Turney, and Mike Whitmer. The team won five of their ten games with upsetting victories over Hampshire, Petersburg, and Northern. A spectator said, “It was rather boring to watch the games at first but then some of the matches picked up. This is not Wimbledon.” Even though it was the first year for the tennis team, they had an exceptional season. oe @ Eric Eiswert waits to return a § John Hornyak executes an serve. awesome return! 72 Boys Tennis Kurk Turney shows his style Savage, Doug Fike.

More than just a game! That is exactly what Girl’s Basketball is- More than just a game. Girls Basketball is a lot of hard work, strenuous hours of practice and dedication. However, all of the hard work payed off. “The 1984-85 Girls Basketball season was the most successful ever,” said Head Coach Don Stemple. Those long hours of prac- tice and dedica tion attributed to this success. Some of the highlights of the 1984-85 season were: the winning of the first Snowflake Classic Championship, the Garrett County Championship, Region I Class C Championship, and qualifying for the State playoffs at Catonsville. This team had a ten game winning streak, and holds the school record for the most points scored in one home game. Jenny Hillen finished the season with 1812 career total points. She holds the record for the most points scored by a girl or boy in the school’s history. Jenny scored 39 points in the Region I Class C Playoffs victory over Valley, which enabled the team to go all the way to Catonsville! “T enjoyed playing basketball. It was a lot of hard work though.

All the way to Catonsville again We've got the spirit, oh yeah. We've got the will, oh yeah. We’re on our way, oh yeah, to CATONSVILLE! If you have ever attended a Southern girls’ basketball game, you would have heard that chant ringing with enthusi- asm from the crowd and from the team bench. After an exciting 77-44 victory over arch rival Valley, Catonsville was exactly where the 1985 Southern Girls Basketball team ended their season. The Lady Rams were seeded second at the state play- offs, and they were set to face the Eagles from Snow Hill. The game started out with the Lady Rams dominating the first quarter with a 15-9 lead, but by half time the Eagles made a comeback and the score was tied 24-24. The Eagles then went ahead in the third quarter. The Lady Rams did their best to make a comeback as the huge crowd yelled the R-A-M-S chant, but they lost control of the ball, and the Eagles arose with a 53-49 victory. Jane Bell, Kelly Bittinger, and Jenny Hillen had this to say about the season and the trip to Catonsville: “In this year’s season we felt that a lot was expected from us to take the team back to Catonsville again. Then when we lost to Valley twice, we thought our chances were shot. It seemed we weren't fulfilling everyone’s expectations, then we beat Valley in the Class C Championship. We felt one of out goals was completed, and that was to take Coach Don Stemple and Coach Ken McLaughlin back to Catonsville.” First Row: Leslie Ellis, Bobbi ton, Coach Ken McLaughlin, Cline, Marci Stemple, Patti Jane Bell, Jackie Noe, Tracy Rid- Glotfelty, Misti Savage.

Each player contributed their best playing abili- ties to the team. Whether it was power hitting or inspira- tion, the girls gave their all to accomplish their goals for the season. According to Mrs. Helen Rostosky, coach, each player did their best to try to have a successful year. This season the Volleyball team got off to a slow start due to injuries. These injuries had a great effect on the outcome of the matches. Mrs. Helen Rostosky comment- ed, ‘We did very well in spite of the injuries we started with. Naturally, it was disappointing not to win more matches, but the girls really developed over the season and did exceptionally well the last few matches.” The girls seemed to get better each match. The team felt that they lost a couple of matches in the beginning that should not have been lost. They had an opportunity to play these matches again, but they would have missed the district play-off by losing one match.

After obtaining a track, interested students began meeting for practice. Construction of the track began in the summer along with the construction of new tennis courts. The advisor of Southern’s 1985 track team was Mr. Bill Freymen, who is also the Golf and Ski Race Team coach. Becoming the track coach was a good opportunity for Mr. Freymen, as he said, “It was good to get back to track again because I had coached before. The students who ran were athletes all through the year, and so this provided a good nucleus from which to start.” The team did not compete at home, but had a few meets at other schools. They performed very well, considering that this was the first track team. Although the team did not get to use the track, due to the fact that the contractor had not turned it over to the Board of Education, they made the most of this hindrance by practicing on the school grounds. At the PVC, some of the team members performed very well. Vickie Dilgard qualified for the 200 meter dash and placed Sth in that area. Clark Warnick placed 8th in the 1600 meter dash. At this same competition, the girls 4 100 relay team, Jennifer Savage, Dawn Drefhall, Susan Loo- mis, and Vickie Dilgard, placed 3rd. ® Goofing off at track practice is Rick Layton. @ Front Row: Angie Deems, T.J.

A team’s dual record does not always tell the story. Although not winning any matches as a team, individual accomplishments for Southern were high; Bruce Brown placed first in the Beall tournament, second in the Fair- mont tournament, and second in the Bi-county tourna- ment. Brad King, Bi-county champ, was fourth at both the Fairmont and the Regional tournament. Chuck Fitzwater battled his way to third place at Fairmont. Randy Knotts, the lone senior, placed third at the Bi-countys and fourth at the Regionals. Finally after a tough season, Todd Beahm fought hard to take fifth place at the Regional tournament. Coach Browning stated; ‘The 1984-85 wrestling season was a year of learning and rebuilding for a young squad. Their sacrifice, hard work, and persistence showed in the constant improvment of the team throughout the season and will be the firm foundation of teams in the coming years.

Their painstaking practices finally paid off for Scott Colaw when he faced the pitcher from Valley. After the pitch, Scott’s bat cracked the ball out of uncatchable range. Yes, for the first time of the season, Scott had made a home run. Scott had this to say when he saw the ball flying over the fence: ‘Words can’t describe the feeling I had.” This year the batting Rams were comprised of eight seniors, seven juniors, seven sophomores and one fresh- man. The team was directed by Head Coach Jim Bosley who was assisted by Coach Ed Wildesen and Coach Terry Helbig. When asking Scott Stem how he felt playing baseball for Southern for the last time, he replied: “It was a great time playing for Coach Jim Bosley and all of the guys made it a whole lot of fun.” Summarizing the season Joey Shaffer commented, “It was a real privilege just to get on the team this year due to the enormous amount of talent.” Three of the returning seniors es : SS j en oe for the baseball team were : : Scott Stem, Scott Colaw, and J.R.

Baseball 85 A fresh start Lack of experience turned out to be the determining factor in many of the losses experienced by the lady Rams this season. Many new faces were in the line-up this year. The Rams did show a lot of improvement this year, and will be losing only one senior on the team. Next year should be a fine year for the team. Another new face this year was the new head softball coach Mr. Gary Newcomb. He put in many hours with the girls this season, and the improvement shown over the season was incredible. The first couple of practices were spent on teaching the basics of softball to the team. Many players could not catch the ball or swing the bat properly, but by the first game everyone on the team had the skills necessary to compete against any team on the schedule. Although the girls had a poor win-loss record, the expe- rience gained by each player should come in handy for next year’s team. Another bright spot was that Greta Younkin, who was only a freshman, was named the most valuable player. It looks like the best is yet to come for the girls softball program. 2.

Susan: It was more or less determined by who had been in Acorn the longest, because a lot of the people in Acorn had graduated last year, and I was the only one who knew what was going on. Yearbook: Bryan, how were you chosen as drum major? Bryan: Well, first of all, I’m the first drum major that is a junior in this school. I was chosen from a try-out held right after school was out in June. Things that were con- sidered were vocal commands, music directing, and a hy- pothetical situation in which we had to explain what we would do in a certain situation. Yearbook: Susan, what kinds of things are you in charge of? Susan: I do ad layouts, my own page layouts, and I handle the books. Yearbook: Have you had any trouble with missing deadlines this year? Susan: Yes, we did. When it snowed a lot, we were two weeks behind, and people didn’t get their stories in. Yearbook: Bryan, what are some interesting things the band did this year? Bryan: We started practices right after school was out. We had a hard week of band camp which usually lasted from about 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. I thought it was fun. It lasted from the last part of July till the first part of Au- gust. After band camp, we practiced twice a week from 6:00 p.m. till 8:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. on the field show and all the drills. At the end of August, we had a mini-camp for three days.

Bryan: Keyser had always been grand champion at the Frankfort competition, and when we won it this year, it felt great! Yearbook: Susan, how do you determine front page stories? Susan: Basically just what most people are involved in. Yearbook: Are you in ch arge of the front page? Susan: Yes, I usually do the layout, write the stories, and then do the paste-ups when they come back. Yearbook: What is a paste-up? Susan: You send your story in to the company, and they print it up on column width. Then you just glue it on. They then reprint it to fit the column we want. Yearbook: Can you make corrections at that point? Susan: Yes. They send a Xerox copy of the story, and we just take a red pen and make corrections. Yearbook: Susan, how many students are on the staff? Susan: About 13. Yearbook: D o you feel that is adequate, large, or small? Susan: It’s small-we could use about seven more people. Yearbook: Bryan, when you were giving commands at the first game in front of all those people, you were obvi- ously the center of attention because you were up so high. How did you feel? Bryan: At the first home football game I wasn’t nervous at all-in fact I felt really good. On the other hand, at the first competition I was pretty shaky. Yearbook: Are the band boosters a big part of the suc- cess of band? Bryan: Yes, they definitely keep the band running. It takes a lot of money. We have a big budget, and the boosters are sure a big help. @ Bryan Custer is headed toward another challenging class. @ Susan Wright is showing her “An editor's work is never authority in Acorn. done,” thinks Susan Wright. Academics Division 89 Published memories A high school yearbook: a book that contains the best years of your life in words and pictures. Yearbooks are very important to some people, for with them, we can relive memories and think back to a time that was so great. A group of students, called the Highlander Staff, devot- ed their time and creativity in order for everyone to re- ceive their annual, memory-filled yearbook. Everyone drew their layouts, printed their pictures, and shared the frustrations and humor of trying to turn out a more than well-made yearbook. Producing a yearbook gave the staff members a chance to test their journalistic skills. Working on the 1984-85 Highlander Staff was not all work, as may be thought by some people. A few of the members got together to decorate a truck for the Home- coming Parade, which included one of the Ram mascots riding in the back. The staff also held their annual Year- book Assembly in the cafeteria, which gave students a chance to order a yearbook and to catch a glimpse of iis ener eer Pak what the 1984-85 yearbook dressed the audience at the would contain. yearbook assembly.

Acorn faces problems Starting out the year with a debt was a major problem that Acorn had to face. Acorn was in debt eight hundred dollars, so they decided some changes were in order. They changed publishers from their former publisher, Hartco, to their current publisher, A.G. Halldin Company. Susan Wright, Editor, stated, ‘Being a member of the Acorn staff for the past three years has been quite an experience. It’s hard to imagine all of the work that goes into the Acorn paper. Being Editor was an experience withing itself. At times, I wouldn’t have wished the posi- tion on anyone. However, there were times when I wouldn’t have traded the position as Editor for anything.” The Acorn staff meets everyday at 2:00 in room 209. There are only thirteen staff members which makes more work for everyone. Along with other changes, the staff cut out one edition which should eliminate some publish- ing expenses. The main goal for Acorn is to not end the year in debt but maybe make some profit off of their sales. @ Row 1: Lori Cooley, Tracey Susan Wright, Angie Reall, Shaffer, Randy Sheltra Leslie | Susie McCartney, Leigh Leigh- Ellis, Barbara Guthrie.

The students participated in many class activities. Each day of the week was designated for a different activity. For example, Monday was Student Teacher Day. The rest of the week included activities such as: Game Day, Dress-up Day, and Teacher Switch Day. Gordon Savage, a student of German I, tested his skills at being a teacher. After class, he had this to say about the experience: “It was a new experience, and I felt I learned a lot from it even if no one else did.” Another German student who participated in Foreign Language Week was Debra Wolf. She commented on the activities by saying, “The week chosen for Foreign Language Week couldn't have been better because it ended with the arrival of the Germans. The activities gave students a chance to famil- iarize themselves with the foreign students.” Several students also stayed after school to attend plan- ning meetings. They discussed optional ideas and activi- ties which the students could participate in. During class, a few German and French students drew posters, which gave information about Foreign Language Week. The posters were then displayed around the school where stu- - | dents and teachers could see them. we Re edu Jamie Thomas and Tabitha ” Kim DeBerry gathers her Sliger share the same tastes in Fremdprache books after a German class. fashion. Fur Studenten von Deutsch oder Franzésisch, die Woche vom 18-22 Marz war sehr aufregend. Die Stu- denten nahmen an vielen Tatigkeiten teil. Jeder Tag der Woche war fiir verschiedene Tatigkeiten ernannt. Zum Beispiel; Montag war der Schiiler-Lehrer Tag. Der Rest der Woche enthielt Tatigkeiten wie: Spieltag, Verkleidungstag und Legrewechs eltag. Gordon Sav- age, ein Schiiler aus Deutsch I, testete seine Geschick- lichkeit als Lehrer. Nach der Stude hatte er uber sein Erlebnis dieses zu sagen: “Es war eine neue Erfahrung und ich empfand, ich lernte einiges davon, eben wie es niemand anderes tat.’ Ein anderer Deutschschiiler, der an der Fremdsprachenwoche teilnahm, war Debra Wolf. Sie kommentierte die Tatigkeiten als sie sagt: “Diese Woche ausgewahlt als die Fremdsprachen- woche, konnte nicht besser enden, weil sie mit der Ankunft der Deutschen endete. Die Tatigkeiten gaben den Schiilern eine Chance sich selbst mit den fremden Schiilern vertraut zu machen. Verschiedene Schiiler blieben nach der Schule da, um bei der Planung von Treffen zu zuhGren. Sie diskutierten iiber beliebige Ideen und Tatigkeiten, an welchen die Schiiler teilneh- men konnten. Wahrend der Stunde malten ein paar Franzosisch- und Deutschschuler Plakate, welche In- formationen uber die Fremdsprachenwoche gab.” Die Plakate wurden dann rund um die Schule verteilt, wo Schiiler und Lehrer sie sehen konnten. — 7 = we sur sagt F et ee ? 94 Foreign Language Week La Semaine des _ Langues Etrangéres Le Pour les éléves d’allemand et de francais, la semaine du Pew 18au 22 mars était trés passionnante.

The band never stopped being dedicated to becoming successful. The band’s artistic and creative qualities made their field show merit attention. The field show distinguished its musical ability with its selection of some songs that consisted of: Rule Britania, Africa, Tiger of San Pedro, Santana 84,and El Gato Triste. The songs required a lot of skill to perform. Skill was a word of emphasis on the band as they re- ceived such great awards as being Grand Champion at the Frankfort and Yough competitions. The band also partici- pated in the Tropicana Bowl in Cincinnati, Ohio. Tracy Sereno said, “The season went alright. I think we could have done better.” Looking back on the field shows Lora Heginbotham said, “Being in guard for four years has been a memorable experience. It’s hard to believe I will never perform a field show with my friends in band again. It takes a while to sink in. I miss it already.” @ Jimmy Harvey, Leslie Kight, and Richard Ridder play the Star Spangled Banner. Band 97 Concert and Stage Bands show musical excellence Successful performances of contemporary and truly challenging music were the performances of the South- ern stage and concert bands. Once a year both bands held concerts that evidenced that good music is still alive. They revealed their music excellence. Stage band contributed to this excellence by their mu- sical skills having been displayed both at the basketball games and their own concert. Jack Faulkner said, ‘Stage band is a great organization to belong to because there is something fun happening every minute.” 98 Band “Concert band,” Bryan Custer felt, “was a great suc- cess after months of hard work showing talent that will be evident in next season’s field show.” Each member’s skill on their instrument caused the concert to be out- standing. One member in particular, Jimmy Harvey, had such an amazing amount of skill that he received the John Phillip Sousa Award, an award of great honor for a high school musician. The concert and stage bands displayed a tremendous amount of talent and strong musical abilities this year in their performances. @ Robin Friend and Lisa Sweitzer practice for the Stage Band concert.

Band 99 Winterguard season cut short With a highly developed show and difficult work, the Southern Belles winterguard competed in two competi- tions this year. The guard finished first at the Americans and the McKeesport winterguard competitions. The Southern Belles’ final performance of the season was as host of the sixth annual South of the Border Review with eight winterguards in attendance. Sadly, when the South of the Border Review competi- tion ended, so did the season of the Southern Belles. This brought to an end the chance for the guard to again finish in the top ten of high school winterguards throughout the country. The main reason for the Southern Belles’ fold was lack of practicing facilities. Since the guard had no where to practice, they were unable to obtain the regular amounts of practice that an outstanding winterguard must have. Even though the Southern Belles folded, one person made a difference in the show. The Belles recruited Scott Rolf as a member of the rifle line. Being the first male to ever march at Southern, Scott Rolf said, “It was a lot harder than I had predicted. I doubt if a lot of the guys in am this school could handle it.’ Renee Helmick summarized the view of the season when she said, “Even though we did not have community and public support, we still tried to have a successful season.” @ Scott Rolf and Renee Helmick practice spinning their rifles. 100 Band Teresa Rivenbark marks time while the winterguard practices.

Learning the value of singing What do you call a very active group in Southern High School who have participated in a variety of numerous activities in the past year? Nothing less than chorus!! Chorus is a club in which students learn not only to sing but the value of what singing can have in their lives. This year, under the direction of Carolyn Lambert-Wilt, the students have performed and exhibited their ability in front of many people. They participated in an Al] Garrett County Choral Fes- tival in which the students were given a chance to sing with others their own age and with equal ability. The students in general have been very appreciative of the things they have been taught. “It’s been a really good year. With the help of chorus, I’ve become a better singer and I’ve learned more about myself. I wish more people could be involved and experience all the fun and learning I have,” stated Cindy Eichorn. Leigh Leighton, another member of chorus, stated, “Chorus has really taught me a lot about music and the basics. I’ve come to appreciate the many different styles of music that we’ve performed. @ Row1:Leigh Leighton,Sharon Betty Clark, Sandy Murphy, Davis, Candy Carotenuto, Tom Kinser, Jeannie Friend, Cathy Carotenuto, Connie Buffy Goughler, Shanon Bray, Anna Callicoat.

Yearbook: Jim, how were you chosen as VICA’s president? Jim: During the first meeting, we had to elect all new officers because all of last year’s officers were seniors. They nominated me and then elected me as president. Yearbook: Criss, how do you think FFA will help you in the future?

Clubs Division 105 What is the future bringing Have you ever given thought to exactly what the fu- ture brings? Several of S.H.S. Future Farmers of America students have. Now they know more of what to expect since they have been members of F.F.A. Through the club, members were given the opportu- nity to learn new skills and put them to use through different types of competitions. One type of competition was horse judging. The team had a successful year de- spite many disappointments early in the year. One member, Kenny Michaels, had this to say about F.F.A. this year: “F.F.A. was a good experience to me and I think what I’ve learned will become very handy in the future.” F.F.A. members had a lot to do and many students did not just sit in class and goof around for their grades; they worked—Especially when springtime arrived. The students had plants to tend to. As a type of money rais- ing, the members of the club sold many types of flowers for any special occasion and in between holidays, too. So as the F.F.A. members say bye to S.H.S. for one more summer vacation, Mrs. Janet Boggess looks for- ward to another busy and productive school year ahead. ce gape Se REN ; @ Harland Lohr, Jim Thomas, Stacy, Bowser, and Amy Ber- nard conduct their meeting during activity period. ® Several members of F.F.A. pay particular attention to the meeting that was held. � FFA.

Their main priority was preparing for the Maryland State Delegate Assembly and Skills Olympics. They competed in many different areas ranging from auto mechanics to cake decorating. The competition com- pared the skills of students from various schools with- in the state. Members of V.I.C.A. also competed in the event of the opening and closing ceremony, which is the official process for V.I.C.A. meetings. This competition was to demonstrate the club’s ability to conduct regular meet- ings according to accepted business parliamentary procedures. Loren Bowser won first place in cabinet making on the state level and competed in June in Phoenix, Arizo- na. Loren had this to say: “I had no idea that I would even have a chance of winning, but I ive went for the experience and the fun.” The members of V.I.C.A. met every activity period. They tried to raise money by having a dance, but it was concelled due to lack of interest. When asked her opinion of the club, Leslie Kight had this to say: “Even though this was my first year in V.I.C.A., I feel that I learned a great deal. It helped me to prepare myself for the future.” The training that the students received was due to the dedication and time put forth by the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America sponsors Mr. Larry Groer, Mr. John Fitzwater, and Mrs. Mary Ann Shipe. The club was also aided by Mrs. Bonnie McClung. VICA 109 Angie Shaffer, Tammy Smith and Cathy Ford con- duct a meeting during ac- tivity period. Where Now? What are we going to do After High School? In today’s world the occupation of a housewife is hard to maintain. The economic status of many couples re- quires the income of both individuals to meet all bills and payments. The goal of the Future Homemakers of America was to learn economical ways of doing things for less money. The club was involved in a fund raising project consisting of selling candles. President, Melissa Mongold, com- mented: “Selling candles was a good way for us to raise money for other things we wanted to do.” Another group of individuals that are right with the fast-paced world we live in was F.B.L.A. The Future Busi- ness Leaders of America met during activity period and discussed different ways companies ran their business. The club discussed the appearance of the secretary, the job of the secretary, and the responsibility of the persons involved in the company. Renee Shaffer, president of F.B.L.A., had this to say: “Being in the club for four years has proved to be a re- warding experience for me.” The job world has become very advanced and thanks to these clubs, the youth of Southern will be ready for it. � Row I: Angie Shaffer, Tammy Smith, Cathy Rumer, Melissa Mongold, Cathy Ford, Beverly Collins, and Sheryl Graham.

Hard work and a lot of effort really paid off in the end as many things the Girls Athletic Association were involved in went off splendidly. The 1984-85 experi- ence was a very stressful one but it all went well after all. To become a member of G.A.A., you must go through an initiation ceremony. This was decided upon by the old members as well as the sponsors, Mrs. Sandi Smith and Mrs. Penny Proudfoot. Other events the G.A.A. members were involved in was the Mother- Daughter Banquet, and a Christmas party and gift ex- change at Mrs. Penny Proudfoot’s home. Where do our Queens come from? Joining G.A.A. automatically nominated you for any type of queen that the student body would have voted for. Football Homecoming Queen, Renee Sharpless, had this to say about the experiences she encountered dur- ing her four year membership in the Association: “My four years in the Girls Athletic Association were fun. They all seemed to pay off when I was chosen as Homecoming queen my senior year. Hearing my name attached to the title of 1985 Football Homecoming queen was quite a shock, but later became reality. G.A.A. 113 Busy! Busy! Busy! Handling complaints from the student body is only one of the many jobs the 1984-85 Student Council had to deal with. Five representatives from each grade met once every two weeks and discussed problems they saw during the school day and planned future events to get the student body involved. One of the planned events was a joint meeting of Northern and Southern Student Council members. Two officers from Northern’s Student Council, Autumn Fra- zee, president, and Michelle Clutter, treasurer, were spe- cial guests at one of the Southern’s regular meetings. During this meeting, the way the two different schools ran their student body and extra-curricular activities were compared as well as the possibility of Southern joining 114 Student Council Northern in the Students Against Drunk Driving pro-| gram. One of Southern’s Student Council me mbers, | Tonya Bray, said this about the SADD program: “I feel that starting a SADD program at Southern will be very interesting. I think joining with Northern’s program will give us a big boost.” Another Student Council activity was the Spring Homecoming Dance. This dance was arranged to replace the Basketball Homecoming Dance. Due to lack of inter- est and not enough time for preparations the dance was scratched from the school calendar altogether. “I feel that Student Council had a fairly successful year. We had meetings with Northern’s council and met with the Board of Education.” This statement was made by Wendy Grove as a summary of the 1984-85 year. @ Trying to organize the agenda for the meeting, Kim Simpson, Wendy Grove, and Lori Da- mon talk among themselves.

The members must be in the top third of their Southern High School. The club had a very busy year. One event was helping the Bloodmobile. Crystal Noland had this to say: “I really enjoyed working with the Bloodmobile.

The club planned a trip to Seven Springs, but it was not ap- proved by Mr. Arthur Refosco, principal. __ This was due to missed days because of snow. The club _also planned a trip to Vermont. It was to be taken over Easter. Many skiers were interested, but Mrs. Sandi Smith decided to cancel it due to the fact that the members were to go up in their own cars. She felt that it was just too much responsibility. _ Tanya Vetter, member of the club, had this to say: “I think it was not organized very well. We were led to believe we were going, then they changed their minds all of a sudden.” A group of students who became very interested in computers got together with Mr. Stephen Cosner. They formed the second Computer Club of Southern High School. The members met every Tuesday and Thursday. Computers have become a great learning experience for students. The members of the club are the students who are extra interested in computers. Joe Shaffer, member of the club, had this to say: “Computers are a good thing to go to after school.

The reason is that for one period out of the day, six times out of the year, students got to go toa class that they could really enjoy. It was a time to relax, laugh, and visit with friends. Students had a wide choice of activities in which to participate. Many chose classes that they really wanted, while others sat back and were stuck in classes. Most of those who got stuck, were put into independent reading classes. Along with the usual activity day choices such as Ski Club, Word Games and Puzzles, and many others, stu- dents had the opportunity to participate in a group called SADD. SADD stands for Students Against Drunk Driv- ing. The advisor was Mr. Les McDaniel, and the group usually met in the library. The over-all opinion of the students towards activity day was good. Debra Wolf said, ‘Activity day is great. All my classes are shorter and my activity class if fun.” Some students, though, were not as happy with their choice. Brenda Uphold had this to say about her choice: “My activity period is not what I expected, other than that, it was alright.” @ Elaine Cummings and Melissa Via, members of the Chess Club, play checkers during Activity period.

Joell: Miss Bishop gave some of the top students papers which showed us our class rank, and how it was calculat- ed. It was done through a combination of grade point averages and the weighting system, which is a system where classes are given a certain number of points accord- ing to their level of difficulty. I was then told that I was the valedictorian. Yearbook: Joell, what other school activities were you involved in? Joell: Well, I was in band for four years and the Nation- al Honor Society for two years. Yearbook: John, what school activities were you in- volved in? John: I was in the Student Council, serving as vice- president my junior year. I was in the National Honor Society for two years, president of the Junior Class, a member of the 1984 Basketball Homecoming Court, was student director of the Senior Class Play, and I went to Germany under the German Exchange Program. Yearbook: Joell,-what kinds of honors or awards did you receive while in Southern High School? Joell: I received the Rotary Student of the Qu arter Award three times. This award goes to the student with the highest average of the quarter, doing a different grade each quarter. At the Awards Assembly, I received a Certif- icate of Achievement in the fields of band, English, math, and United States History. I received the Bausch and Lomb Science Award, and I got an award for being in the top five percent of the class. 124 People Division Valedictorian Joell Winters Salutatorian John Leininger PEOPLE John: I received a Presidential Scholarship to Manchester.

Time To Say Good-Bye As many seniors think back to the past four years they have spent at Southern, they may find it hard to say good- bye. Being a freshman was probably the biggest step be- cause freshman are the youngest and are not sure of how the upperclassmen will treat them. They all had to adjust from being the oldest of the middle school to the youngest of high school. When the life of a sophomore came about, everything was more familar. Everything was more at ease with the people and classes. “T liked my tenth grade year the best because I was used to Southern, and I could relax for I didn’t have to worry too much about what I wanted to do after I graduated”, stated Debbie Mason. The junior year must have been one of the best. Stu- dents were able to take their driving tests and date more often. They were starting to think about what they want- ed to do after graduation, but they knew they had one more year to think about it. Then finally the senior year was here. The class of ’85 was walking down the halls of Southern for their last year!! Their high school days were over. It was time for them to go out and explore their talents. All that can be done is for each person to wish all peers the best in whatever they do, and say GOOD-BYE.

We wanted to be just like them, and yearned for the day that we ourselves would be in their position. Then we finally reached the top. At last we were the envied seniors at S.H.S., and we wanted everyone to know it! Senior keys symbolized our status as school leaders and as the senior class of 1985. It was also an important Keep- sake that in years to come would preserve the treasured memories of our last year of high school. “T think that class keys are a waste of money. I guess some people feel more sentimental about stuff like that, Senior keys gave us distinction as we found the keys to | | } | i | ] but if they were more attractive maybe I would’ve gotten one,” stated Amy White. “T bought a class key this year mainly because it sym- bolizes my graduating year.

It’s something to remember your last year and the memories by,” stated Brenda Uphold. We came a long way and had to reach many goals before we could acquire the much esteemed title of se- niors. When we got there however, we knew that all the struggles were worth it. We wore our keys with pride because they represented the best of our years at S.H.S.... and the best of our school.

Swedish Meatballs, nut breads, cookies, cheese balls with crackers, punch, hot chocolate, and cof- fee was served. After everyone was finished munching, the group sessions began. As the end of the school year approaches, seniors have many decisions they have to make. The Brunch was held to benefit them. Representatives of the Armed Services, colleges, universities, technical-trades-business schools, health careers, and Banking and Finances attended to ad- vise the seniors. When asked how she felt about the Brunch, Debbie Mason stated: “I thought it was really nice, but my feet got sore!” When Tonya Bray was asked, she said, “I thought it was great. It gave the seniors a chance to feel at ease and relax a little. It was also a time that could be spent with friends.” Kelly Bittinger also stated, “I thought it was great, and they should have one every year.” It was quite obvious that majority of the senior class enjoyed the brunch. Many of the seniors felt that they knew a lot more about what they wish to persue as a career. ® Duane Evans waits for Carol Paugh to sign his voter regis- tration card.

These and other questions aroused as the news traveled that a new principal was coming to Southern High. As the school year began with our new principal, many new rules and regulations were installed. Mr. Arthur Re- fosco confronted each grade from ninth - twelfth. He told each grade a little background about himself, his ideas, and his reasons for his new rules. After Mr. Refosco’s speech, Wendy Grove stated, “I think that Mr. Refosco has created a tremendous change Kimberly Arden DeBerry Wade Allen Deckman Wayne Earl Dixon Wesley Eugene Dixon John Michael Dolan 132 Seniors in the attitudes of the students at Southern. Althougtl many of the new policies are much more strict, I think that he is also giving the school many beneficial changes.” When Tonya Bray was asked how she felt about the new principal, she stated: “I think he has been a great asset to the 1984-85 school year. I feel that his concerns are directed towards the interest of the students. Even. though some changes were made, I feel the students ac-| cepted Mr. Refosco with great respect.” Joey Matthews, Allen Sharp- less, Dave McLaughlin, Billy Hesen and Kurk Turney seem to be really getting into the spirit of the pep assembly.

When asked what their overall opinion of their school years at Southern High were, here are what the seniors had to say. Joy Hamilton stated, “Although my senior year was my first here at Southern, I really feel now that I belong. Everyone’s smiles and open arms helped me feel at ease in this new place. I want to thank all those who went the extra mile to make the Wisconsin Wanderer welcome. Meeting new people and making new friends added to the excitement of being a senior. I know in years to come I will reminisce with pleasant thoughts, my senior year Atio Lo Joey Matthews stated, “I feel that the good times were experienced at S.H.S. were undoubtly caused by the stu- dent body as a whole. It was easy to see the friendship that developed not only thru athletics but also just thru the comradeship that the school days themselves had to offer. I feel that the friendships that were established in High School are very special and are something to be remembered.” Chris Oliverio stated, “My life at Southern Garrett High School has shown me some good times. In a broad overview, I feel that ninth and tenth grades were more of 134 Seniors a maturing time, more so than actually learning. Arthur Refosco had really straightened up the school since the time he started as principal here. I really enjoyed my last year here at S.H.S. the best, especially the very end.” Tracy Buckley stated, ‘I feel that my high school years at S.H.S. were pretty good. My last year was the best. I think Arthur Refosco really straightened things up here and has helped S.H.S. to be what it is today.” Sandra Dee Stinson stated, “My life here at Southern has been great! I have experienced a lot of good times, and I have all my friends to thank for that. I would have to say my senior year was the best! And as I walked my last steps of my high school years, I felt the beginning of a whole new life!” Jane Bell stated, “The overall four years at Southern High School has been an experience within itself. My thanks to Coach Stemple, Coach Mac, and the girls on the team for a great time as a member of the girls basket- ball team. The thing I will remember the most is Jen- ny’s, Kelly’s, and my Graduation Party.” Kurk Turney stated, “I can sum up my four years at Southern High School in three words.

As the time slides by, the seniors at Southern High School have a lot on their minds. What the seniors decide to do within the next few years will reflect their whole future. There are some students who have no questions about what they want to do after they graduate. But as far as some go, they either can not decide on a few options, or do not have the slightest idea what they are going to do. When asked what her future plans were, Karen Lips- comb stated, “I plan on getting a good job after I graduate and then get married.’” When Buffy Goughler was asked, she stated, “I plan to go to Nursing School and later become a nurse.” When Kelly McCoy was asked, she stated, “I plan to move to Deep Creek Lake and room with Sandra Stinson and attend G.C.C. for my first year and then we plan to go to W.V.U. for the next three years.” As long as the class of ’85 set their goals at medium height, work hard and discipline themselves, they should then be able to get on the right track for a great future. But only those who set their goal and want to reach it, will!

Seniors 137 138 Seniors Walter Williams- Rotary International Winner Walter Williams, a senior at Southern High School, won $500.00 in cash for his outstanding essay. Walter’s essay was picked to be the best among the students in District 735. District 735 ranges south to Petersburg, W.VA. through north to N.Y. state line. From May 3 through May 5, Walter had a 3 day conference that was held at Bedford Springs Hotel in Bedford, Pa. Walter was welcomed with open arms and he joined foreign exchange students for group discussions on world hunger and bridging the gaps between nations. The conference was informative and fun. There was dancing, learning and several interesting guest speak- Walter Williams As Wendy Grove tries to fig- ure out what Mike Berry is telling her, Sandra Stinson laughs at his explanation. ers including James C. Humes (an evening with Chur- chill), Wilbur F. Pell, Jr., Judge of the Chicago U.S. Court of Appeals, and Henry L. Ruf, Professor of Phi- losophy of West Virginia University. Walter read the essay at a friendship luncheon on Saturday, May 4. Walter said that, “The response was unexpected, but appreciated. The people reacted very nicely and seemed responsive to the actual message as well. Especially supportive and helpful was Miss Jane Avery, who took of her own time and talents to work around my faults in order to come up with a present- able reading. When spending some class time for a trial run, everyone was enthusiastic and positive which helped a lot.” Walter’s talents are not limited. He not only could express he feelings in words, but in artistic creations as well. Walter can draw just about anything, but what everyone seems to enjoy the most is his carton designs. When Walter was asked why he enjoys drawing car- toons, he stated, “As for cartooning, I do it because it seems to make people happy. When it fails to do that, the pencil will be put away. It’s relaxing, interesting, and fun. I’m only happy that I’ve been given some- thing that can be used to affect others in a positive way. Self- expression is the key.” Rioeereerrnnannenrt: 1 Alfred Leo Harvey, Jr. James Harold Harvey Jeffrey William Harvey Julie Lynn Harvey Larry James Heginbotham Lora Ann Heginbotham Jack Randolph Helms, Jr. Connie Lou Hershman Scott Edward Hershman William Eugene Hesen, II Michael David Hill Jennifer Lynne Hillen Lawrence Edward Hinebaugh James Harley Holland Daniel Burl Holler As Kelly McCoy tries to figure out where to sign her name, Cathy Rumer waits patiently.

Don’t you think it is sort of funny how every morn- ing the school parking lot was packed with cars? And you know there was not that many faculty members! Why was it? Most kids in Garrett County get their driver’s li- cense when they are 16, but usually do not get their own car to drive until they are seniors. Why do the student body dread the bus? Even in the dead of winter you will find students all bundled up, brushing the snow off their car so they will not have to ride that bus!! Does the bus have a disease? Well, the reason does not have anything to do with any sort of disease. The seniors felt they were older and more mature. They felt if they are old enough to get their license and have had a year experience in driving, they should be responsible enough to drive to school. Mandy Bosley stated, “Being a senior, I did not have 140 Seniors to ride the bus the whole year. I either drove or some- one picked me up. I think riding the bus is a bummer.” A lot of students liked to drive to school for the simple reason that they could get up, get ready, and go! With the privilege of driving to school, they do not have to worry about missing the bus, or having to listen to screaming little kids! The guys could spend that extra 30 minutes that it takes to wait for the bus and pick up other kids sleeping. The girls could spend their extra 30 minutes messing with their hair or make- up. , In some cases, knowing that your car is waiting for you outside your door is not always so good because you can oversleep and be tardy. Brian Smith stated, “I was usually late, but I loved driving to school anyway, and when I left early it was a big help too.” @ Wade Deckman and Bill Col- lins are trying to act like young ladies for spirit day.

It was the event that took place on May 26, 1985. It was a beautiful outside graduation. When graduation comes around, a lot of mixed feel- ings arouse. Seniors are relieved to be out of school, but are scared about what route to take for their future. When asked how he felt about graduating, Brian Fowler stated, “I’m glad to be graduating although it is also a little depressing leaving all of my friends. It’s a great feeling not having any more homework.” When @€ What? Wes Dixon was asked, he stated, “I’m glad to be graduat- ing as I know IJ have finally accomplished it. It feels great not worrying about tests.” On the beautiful Sunday afternoon sat rows of deter- mined young adults waiting anxiously for their names to be called.

Class of ’85’s pride Pride-“high opinion of one’s own worth or posses- sions.” The class of ’85 from Southern High School had a lot of pride in what they represented in the 1984-1985 school year. The class of ’85 have had their share of some great times, but they have been through twelve, long years of tough learning experiences. The seniors had a lot to be proud of this year. They were the very first class to have their graduation ceremo- ny outside, Mr. Refosco’s first graduating class from S.H.S., the first year Southern had Tennis Teams, the first year of S.A.D.D. program, the first to have an awards assembly before graduation, the year the girls and boys basketball and football teams went to States and a whole lot more! The seniors left Southern High with a bang! The se- 4 144 Seniors ® Mandy Bosley and Sandra Stinson can not figure out niors had party after party as soon as finals were over! And there was no actual day labeled as skip dayas they have had in other years. The weather of the last month for seniors was beautiful! Every Friday of that month a different group of kids skipped. That way teachers could not find out and schedule a test, so you would attend school. J.R. Gibson, one very proud senior, stated, ‘The pride was very good because of the teams at Southern playin g so well that the student body was very proud.” Lee Livengood, a very energetic senior, stated, ‘““The pride was great as long as we had parties!” Even though the class of ’85 was able to have as much fun and even more than any other class, they did it without any irrational, or immature behavior. This my friends, was due to the “Pride of ‘85.” J.

See ya.” “Have a good time, bye.” Maybe you have had a conversation like this with one of your friends if they worked through their high school years. The many seniors who worked through their senior year to make a little extra cash sometimes missed out ona wy few social events. As Beth Genco, a working senio r stated, “The money was okay, but the hours stunk. When you aren't able to have anytime off on the weekends, it’s hard to do homework and have a social life, but with careful planning, it can be done.” Denise Livengood, another working senior who even started working before her senior year, stated, “Working through school doesn’t let much time for friends or other pleasures you might be able to do otherwise. If I had the choice again, I don’t think I’d work through school be- cause you have to work the rest of your life anyway.” In do time, the seniors who did work and did not seem to enjoy it will realize that the experience, hardwork, and money was worth it!

He was also a former member of the Southern High wrestling team. “Phil was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was always able to make me laugh, and I will always have many good thoughts about him.’”—Sandra Stinson “Phil was a true gentleman. He was always smiling happily, giving compliments, opening doors for people, and doing many favors out of the goodness of his heart.”—Wendy Grove “Phil was always sweet to people and did his best to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

The Seniors had a lot of fun on their trip. The bus ride was wild, and they were really in the mood for the rides when they arrived at Kennywood. Lori Elliott commented, ‘The trip was a lot of fun. The f Gateway Clipper made the trip, but the bus ride up and C back was a blast. Fitting ten people in the bathroom of a bus was definately an experience.” Once they got to Kennywood, the fun began.

A new arrival Exciting! Outrageous! Stimulating! These are only a few of the words that the students of Southern High School used to describe the newly arrived computers. Teachers use computers to do everything from creating tests to grading them. Computers make the teachers’ work go much faster. Because of this, the teacher can devote his or her time to give each student more individ- ual help. Mr. Doug Buckley stated, “Our one year old test grader is a real time-saver. This is especially helpful with finals when time is limited.” The students’ response to the computers was also quite positive. Debra Wolf stated, “I think the computers are great! At first, I didn’t know what I was doing, but now they’re becoming much simpler to operate. I can relate the computer to most of my studies.” The students not only learned to operate computers but also to write their own programs pertaining to their studies. With the aid of computers, Southern High School will advance, with the world around it, in technology and the age of reason. @ Jeff Haines and Betsy Thayer work hard on their computer program.

The junior class, some dressed in casual clothes, and some in formal, walked down the hall to the room where their seniors pictures would be taken. The juniors were very agreeable to getting their senior pictures taken, although some would have preferred their pictures to be taken in their senior year. Erica Carlson stated, “I think it would be a lot better to get our senior pictures taken in our senior year. By the time we get our yearbooks, we will all be a year and a half older. People can change a lot in that amount of time.” Other juniors did not seem to mind this time differ- ence. “I didn’t mind having my senior pictures taken my junior year. I was just really glad to get them done, and I’m anxious to get them back. Getting them taken my junior year makes me realize that I’m one step closer to graduation,” said Liz Burdock.

The seniors were anxious to move forward in their lives but sad that they had to leave many of their friends behind. The juniors felt a lot of disappointment because of the seniors leaving and because they too, were not graduating. The juniors have one year to mature and prepare them- selves for one of the biggest steps of their lives. Lori Riley stated, “I’m looking forward to graduation and moving on to better things because it seems like I’ve been in school forever.” Others are also anxious but fearful of what may be awaiting them. “I can’t wait to graduate to get away from all the problems and to move on to better things, but the thought of leaving my friends upsets me a lot,” said Peg- gy Knox.

I felt like an individual, with a lot of freedom.” Many juniors also began to get jobs and earn them- selves some spending money. This, in tern, aids in the dating process. The jobs the students choose are as different as the students themselves. Many worked at fast-food places, while others work on construction and at gas stations. As a junior, the student builds up many good-times that will become life-time memories. The parties, dates, jobs, and most of all friends, will be a big influ- ence throughout their lives.

The competition began at 9 o'clock O] mM 1CS in the morning with blueprints and materials already V Pp there. They broke for lunch at 12:00 and then contin- ued. By 3 o’clock in the afternoon, he was finally fin- ished. The projects were judged on neatness, safety, and correct measurements. After the judging was completed, an awards ceremo- ny was presented. “I was very surprised. This entitled me to compete nationally in Phoenix, Arizona, the last week in June, with an all expense paid trip,” said Loren.

Chaper- ones were Mr. Dave Bender, Mr. Doug Buckley, and some parents of the students. “We have been taking Sophomores to Pittsburgh for the last four or five years and each year we find some- thing new,” commented Mr. Buckley. “This year was | especially great with Carnegie’s new Polar World ex- hibit. With very vivid displays, we could almost feel | the cold around us.” When asked his opinion, Robbie Michaels said, “It was a very inspirational trip.” However, other people had different ideas. With a snicker, Brian Dixon com- mented, ‘Tour guides made everyone fall asleep when they spoke.” While there, students saw many artifacts, bones, dinasaurs, mummies, and many more exciting things that are talked about in class. Students hear a lot about all of these things in class but often understand better when they can see things up close and are explained about in detail. a Rebecca Rhodes Eric Rice Tracy Ridder Misti Ridenor Debbie Riggs Missy Riley Tonya Riley Mark Rodeheaver Kim Rosenberry Tresa Roth Shannon Sanders Heather Savage Christina Schrock Connie Schrock Shannon Sell Joyce Sessons Don Shaffer Lesa Shahan David Sheffield Sandy Shreve Tammy Shreve Jeff Simpson Stacy Sines Vincent Sines Alan Sisler Joe Sisler Loretta Smith Tommy Smith Kendra Stemple Tim Stemple Debbie Steyer Dawn Stillwagon Dee Stull Eric Sweargen James Sweitzer Sax Todd Bittinger reads his assign- John Lewis sits in total thought @ ment in Mr. Dave Bosley’s Alge- _ while listening to Mrs. Betty Hes- Soo SCOsébrra class. sen in English. Sophomores 167 Working Sophomores Money, money, money! What do you do when there are things you want, and your parents say, “You want it- you pay for it!’ So what do you do? You get a job! Jodi Wilt said, “I got a job because I wanted my own money. Now I have the freedom to buy whatever I want, whenever I want it.” There are, however, disadvantages to having a job. Sometimes you have to work weeknights, and do not get homework done. Sometimes you have to work weekends, and can not go out with your friends.

Tammy Wolford, who worked for her father last sum- mer, said, “Even though the money was not bad, I did not like going to work everyday, and missing out on things my friends were doing.” Having a job can be good and bad. It can help you with references for later jobs, plus the money and experience can be good. Also, it does put a stop to a good bit of your social life. Plus, it can bring your grades down if you work during school. But .. . the choice is up to you. @ Jodi Wilt takes an order at the drive-up window at Big Tee.

In case many of the students did not realize, Southern High School had an abundance of students awarded for their interests and abilities. Misti Ridenour received the honors of The Hugh O'Brien Youth Foundation 1985 Maryland Leadership Award. Misti attended an all-expense paid seminar about America’s Incentive System held at Baltimore-Washing- ton International Hotel. She had the opportunity to listen and talk to distinquished leaders in business, industry, education and government. She also traveled to General Motors, McCormick Co., Science Center and the Aquarium. When Misti was asked how she felt about being chosen for this award, she stated, ‘The seminar was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. I met some really nice people.

The selection for the award is based on cheering ability, sportsmanship, gymnastic ability and spirit. By this honor as All American Cheerleader, Wendy was given the opportunity to cheer at the Aloha Bowl held| in Honolulu, Hawaii. Wendy left for Hawaii with her mother on December 23, 1984. Wendy was one of 139 cheerleaders from across the United States. Practice sessions were held every day from 8 A.M. until noon. The girls learned new routines, chants, and cheers. They were all under the direction of Dirk Johnston, NCA instructor. The girls were divded into two squads. One squad cheered for Southern Methodist and Wendy’s squad cheered for Notre Dame. The game was broadcast on ESPN cable Network. Wendy was seen on TV in Oakland by many viewers who watched the game on December 29. @ After coming back from Hawaii, Wendy Bosley tells yearbook about her trip. @ Wendy Bosley and Misti Riden- our share stories and memories about their trips.

This group followed the same basic pattern of all freshmen of the past. The first few days there was some confusion and nervousness, but after a week or so, they had the routine under control. To most freshmen, Southern is a totally new envi- N f h f ronment. In some ways they find more freedom, but CW res men ace also more work. Students had much more of an opportunity to join ld bl groups and clubs. Students could choose from a wide O pro ems variety of groups from football to band to GAA. One freshmen stated, “Southern is like a whole new world from Southern Middle School.” To some, it felt like they were in the world of the giants. Another freshmen quoted, “When we first got here, everything seemed gigantic, but, after a few weeks, things seemed to get down to normal size.” Another problem freshmen have to face is the chal- lenge of the halls. Some freshmen find it difficult to make it to their classes on time and stop at their lockers.

This year’s freshman class followed this tradition. They started out the year on top by grabbing the title of one of the largest classes ever, with a total of 272 : e students. This achievement started the freshmen look- Making their i ! } ark ing for other things to capture the first place title. Next, they tackled the magazine campaign. Or may- be we should say that it tackled them. One freshmen said, “Selling magazines is a real challenge.” They were brought back up though, by the fact that they were the first class to be required to pass the citizenship test before graduation. One freshman re- plied, “It’s just my luck that I would have to take the test.” Besides the things that the class achieved as a whole, there were opportunities for success as individuals for the freshmen. There was the chance to be recognized as an outstanding student or athlete. Overall, through their ups and downs, the freshman class managed to reach their goal. They made their mark! ——e 174 Freshmen 4 Working hard in algebra is Melis- sa George, Patty Rodeheaver, and J.R. Bosley. Finding humor in her textbook is Sherry Reams.

More emphasis had been placed on Civics for this year’s freshmen. For the first time, this year’s freshmen were required to pass a citizenship test. One freshman stated, ‘The tests were hard but I guess it’s a good idea to have them.” The freshmen were also shown different fields of work for the future. About a week was taken to show the freshmen what they might be interested in. All types of jobs were introduced to the freshmen and they could choose what they were interested in. A test was also given to see where interests and abili- ties were stronger and weaker. Most students found they had several abilities in one field and very few in another. Students learned what type of training would be needed to succeed in the field they were interested in. Many students were surprised to find they had abili- ties in things they didn’t even know existed. Another freshman stated, “I know it is early, but I feel that I am getting a good idea of what my future interests may be.” Heather Perando Mike Perry Loretta Piper Scott Piper Charles Plessinger Andy Pope Rae Payton Carl Ratliff Sherry Reams Willie Riley Kenneth Rinker Cindy Rodeheaver Patty Rodeheaver Ralph Rodeheaver Scott Rodeheaver Cheryl Ross Glenna Roth David Rounds Rebecca Roy Mike Ruff Susan Ryscavage Eric Savage Gordon Savage Jennifer Savage Neil Savage Tracy Savage Billy Schrock Ramona Selders Craig Shafer Wendy Shaffer Jimmy Shahan Marty Sharpless Shannon Sharpless Tina Shreve Lynette Sigel Freshmen 177 David Sines Pam Sines Boyd Sisler Lori Sisler Ronnie Sisler Tabitha Sliger Marvin Smith Travis Smith Christine Snyder Todd Spencer Cindy Spink William Stemple Kenneth Steyer Ray Sweitzer Scott Sweitzer George Swinson Bobby Tasker Cecil Tasker Jerry Tasker Shelly Terlizzi Liz Terrant Ed Thayer Robert Thomas Sandy Thomas Tina Thomas Traci Thomas George Tichinel Paul Tichinell Randy Tichinell Tracy Umstot Mike Upole Robert Upole Melissa Via Tom Via Laura Virts A group of Southern’s freshmen participated in a | Freshmen Civics trip to Annapolis, Maryland.

They to Anna olis were also taken to a conference room where they were Pp spoken to by Senator John Bambacus and Delegate George Edwards. One freshmen stated, “Although the debates were boring, it was interesting to see how they operate.” After the visit to the State House, the group made their way to the Naval Academy. On the way to the Academy, the group was shown some historic sites and houses of Annapolis. Mr. Doug Buckley, Mr. Bill Crone and Mr. David Beard’s Civics classes all participated in this trip. Even though it was rainy, the freshmen still enjoyed the trip and had an educational experence at the same time. While at the Naval Academy, the freshmen got to take a walking tour of the base.

Southern athletes’ dreams come true To be named Most Valuable Player has always been the dream of athletes. Some students at Southern through their outstanding athletic abilities made these dreams come true. Awards were given from M.V.P. to Most Im- proved in the categories that ranged from Varsity Football to Girls Tennis. Scott Colaw, Scott Stem, and Steve Bennett were pre- sented many awards for their amazing abilities in their athletic fields. Jenny Hillen, on of Southern’s best female athletes, had her basketball jersey retired due to her ath- letic performances. Awards were given to citizens in their support of sports at Southern. John Hill received the citi- zen awardand Xie Colaw won the S.G.A.A. Past President award. Mary Bolden, who won the Most Outstanding Player award in Girls Tennis, said, “I am glad my teammates chose me. I hope that I was able to help them throughout the season.” Co-winner of the M.V.P. award in wrestling was Brad King. Brad said, “I appreciate this. I wish I could have worked harder and the team could have too. I feel honored to share the trophy with Bruce Brown.” Meee Sports MVP 181 Everyone knew something different was going to take place. Excitement filled the minds of many people. The excitement broke into laughter when the faculty members appeared on the gym floor during the foot- ball play-offs pep rally. Members of the faculty had transformed themselves into some of the senior mem- bers of the football team and the cheerleading squad. These athletes acted out a skit in which a fifty year reunion was held to reminisce some plays of the 1984 J e state play-off game. Today S assignment One of the athletes, Mr. David Mayfield said, “I represented Joey Matthews in the skit. I enjoyed the ° skit in that I felt I was in a small way contributing to 1S aug ter the school spirit . . . and toward the football team’s participation in the play-offs.” The students had a positive attitude toward the skit. Angelo Oliverio and Gordon Savage said this: “We feel that the participation showed by the teachers during the pep rally was very supportive in backing the Rams.” Teacher participation in the pep rally was amazing. Instead of providing a lecture or homework, the teach- ers provided laughter. Miss Jane Avery, English, Drama, scrabble and word games Mr. J.

Faculty 183 —E | Southern experiences changes Ask yourself, “What kind of changes have I gone through as a student?” One answer will probably be the changes you had under the new principal, Mr. Arthur Refosco. Some of the changes experienced by the students and faculty dealt with Mr. Refosco’s two main concerns. These concerns focused on Southern’s disciplinary and academic demands. So far, these goals have been successfully met to some extent. In the discipline area, there have been less suspen- sions due to student cooperation with the student hand- book rules. Academically, the school has been changing. Next year, the students at Southern will experience a sev- en period day. One of the first impressions that Mr. Refosco had of Southern was the great amount of potential that existed. Academically at Southern, he felt things were going well. Phil Cosner said, “I feel Mr. Refosco has established more pride and respect in the school.” Patricia Hamilton summed everything up by saying, “School has become more of a learning center than a social event.” @ Having a discussion in the hall is Mr. Robert Boal and Mr. Arthur Refosco. 184 Faculty @ Mr. David Beard lectures from his book to his Civics class. the day. @ Mr. Les McDaniel, Guidance ®@ Counselor, relaxes and enjoys Ms. Wilma Helbig, Shorthand I-II, Intro to Typing, Typing I, Office Practice Mrs. Elizabeth K.

Faculty 185 Southern’s important people There have been some important people at Southern who deserve our appreciation. They deserve to be men- tioned with honor. They have put so much into making this a good school. The cooks and custodians deserve so much for all they maintained. They have done so much without asking anythin in return in the way of thanks. Leota Martin, a cook at Southern, expressed her feel- ings about her job when she said: “I enjoy cooking for the kids. Most of them are very nice. I hope I can spend a lot more years doing it.” The custodians, too, deserve credit for how they kept Southern. Each day and night they have cleaned and worked to improve our school. Leroy Friend said, “I do not mind my job. 99% of the kids are good.” Mrs. Penny Proudfoot, General The cooks and custodians make a difference at South- English 9, Special Ed. English ern.

Mondale, on Tuesday, November 6, 1984. Reagan won 49 states with 525 electoral votes to Mondale’s 13 elec- toral votes. Mike Hill, a senior at Southern, voted for his first time at the Loch Lynn school. When asked how it felt to be a first-time voter, Mike said, “It gave me a feeling of re- sponsibility because I knew | would have a voice in who would be running our country. It was also a strange feeling walking into the polling place for the first time. I was the youngest person in the whole place and the people looked at me as if I were not supposed to be there.” Also, when Mike was asked who he voted for, he said, “I voted for Ronald Reagan because I thought he had done a good job his first four years and would be the best man to continue the work he had started.” PORTER’S BODY SHOP Complete Collision Repairs Auto Refinishing Foreign And American Insurance Works Free Estimates Old Deer Park Road 334-4144 After 5:00: 334-8453 CORNISH MANOR Dine In The Beautiful Atmosphere Of Nineteenth Century Surroundings Complete Menu Featuring: Steaks, Chicken, Seafood, Cocktails, Moderate Prices, and Casual Dress 334-3551 Open 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM 1 4 Mile Off Rt. 219 Memorial Drive, Oakland THE SIGN OF QUALITY LAOC COAL Co. mare BOX 218) @ OAK AND, MD. 21550 Mt.

Because of this, there were many comments. “I felt not having a Ju- nior class play was a big disap- pointment.

One student commented, “If more guys would have tried out, there probably would have been a play. Miss (Jane) Avery didn’t think the boys that had already signed up would fit the parts, so she cancelled it.” “I was really disappointed that we didn’t have the play,” said De- bra Wolf. Is this what the future Junior class wants? Or will the future Ju- nior class once again make these plays a tradition?

Oakland Life As A Page Wendy Grove traveled to Annap- olis during the week of January 20, 1985, to serve as a Legislative Page for the House of Delegates. To be considered for this position, Wen- dy had to do a number of things including competing against other students from Garrett County by way of interviews, etc. Wendy was chosen as an alternate and was then called upon to serve. During the legislative sessions, she ran errands for the delegates such as getting paper articles, copies of bills, etc. While there, she also updated 14 delegates’ bill- books, which are books containing proposed bills, bills that have been passed, and an explanation of each bill. Wendy commented, “I had a ter- rific time in Annapolis as a page. I learned so much and everyone was so nice. It was a great experience and I’m very happy I had the chance to represent the youth of Garrett County in Annapolis. Bowl In Air Condition Snack Bar Pro Shop INSURANCE AGENCY PAR-MATT LANES 203 S.

It is Students Against Driving Drunk; An organization brought to Southern by Randy Shreeve and Al- len Chadderton. The Organization has four main goals: 1) To save lives and eliminate drunk drivers. 2) Alert students of the dangers of drinking and driv- ing. 3) Conduct community alcohol awareness and prevention pro- grams. 4) To organize peer counsel- ing groups. To carry these goals out S.A.D.D. chapters are formed in schools, stu- dent-parent contracts are issued and community awareness pro- grams are started. The reason for an P.O.

The Contract for Life is a contract signed by both parent and teen agreeing if in a situation where driving will occur when alcohol has been consumed by the driver, par- ents will be called, no questions asked at that time, for a safe ride home. This also applies for parents to find a safe ride home when alco- hol has been consumed. This orga- nization is one way to save lives which are taken by drunk drivers. — --—— ne SS ee a a eo eo market : Oakland, Md. 21550 hook 334-8778 Best Of Luck Tonya And Seniors!

The Oakland Railroad Station was built in 1884. It was built to replace a smaller structure when the railroad business began to pick up. Originally, the station was used for passenger train service. The rail was the quickest, most used way to get to Baltimore and Washington, BME The passenger train was slowly replaced by the popular use of the automobile. Automobiles caused the passenger service at the station to come to an abrupt halt. Shortly after the passenger cars were stopped, the building was used for shipping freight. Recently, Amtrak used the build- ing once again for passengers, but due to a declining rail industry, Amtrak pulled out of Oakland. Today the building is owned by the Chesse System and serves as a rail section maintenance building.

MARTIN SON Rt 135 In Mt Lake Open Daily 6AM-Midnight Serving You For 63 Years Teen Center This year was the first we have had a teen center in this area. Dances were on Saturday evenings until 12:00. It was open to anyone 13 years old to 19 years old. The dance was a place where kids could go to have a good time and not have to worry about getting in fights or other mischief. The teen center was designed to make a place for kids to go instead of drinking at parties or cruising. Themes were set for the dances so that kids could get dressed up and go see other people dressed up. An entry card was needed to get into the center, along with an entry fee. Food and drink were avaiable at a snack stand. One student, Kendra Peck, voiced her opinion as: “The Teen Center was a good idea. It was a nice place to go, and it keeps teenagers out of trouble.” This was definately a good idea. Advertisements 205 Bs 7 TOM BROWNING'S TOWN MARKET Groceries-Deli Oakland, MD.

There were many jobs out there for the summer that students could acquire. The jobs varied from hard labor, to sitting back and using your brain instead of brawn. The best way to find a job was to go into all the job places you would be inter- ested in working at, obtain and fill out a job application, set up job interviews, and hopefully you would receive a job you like. Many girls obtained jobs at supermar- kets as cashiers. Kendra Peck worked at Fratz Red and White and said, “I enjoy working at Fratz especially in the sum- mer. It occupies my time and the extra money is great.” Lori Riley, who worked at Ralph’s Richfood, said, “Working has both good and bad points. It’s a good experience and it’s nice to have the extra money, but when it comes to grades, you're really pushed hard.” BACKBONE We Gare....: CUPPETT AND WEEKS NURSING HOME 706 E. ALDER ST.

I'll be busy this summer, but it will be a great time.” There are many organized sports to play in the summer such as Se- nior League baseball, Center Street JONES Silas Shoe Land 334-1414 Exxon Hair Dimensions 334-2066 334-9341 Mt.

I’m really looking forward to being out of school and being able to do what I want. I’m really looking for- ward to spending the summer with my friends and at the ocean.” Summer is a great thing, but when it is all over, we have to put our time and effort into other things such as books, and tests.
