After ba sics, the band would spend many hours rehearsing the field show for thelr Friday night football games and weekend competitions. There are many decisions involved with being a junior, and picking out class rings is just one of them. Ju- niors Gordon House, Richard Mann, and Dave Burdock look over the many designs they can get put on their class rings. 2 Putting it on the line Opening Puttin ite the line Here we are, in high school, trying to line up and plan the rest of our lives. Many things are demanded of us during these years. As we grow older, we move up thedine of senior- ity from the timid freshmen to the wise, ready-for-the-world senior. Along the way, we are asked to put our knowledge on the line. Did you ever stop to realize how often we put our reputa- tions on the line during one day? Everything we do or say can have a direct effect on us, maybe for the rest of our lives. One slight mistake now could mean the alteration or destruction of all of our future plans or goals. Southern was asked, as a whole, to prove itself to the National Study of School Evaluation, through the Middle States Evaluations. Each department of the school was looked at separately and rated on its performance. Teachers, students, and administrators were all asked to stake their reputations on their performance in the office and the class- room. Our sports teams were also asked to defend the reputation of the school each time they entered a competition. Every time a run was made, a basket scored, or a touchdown run, the reputation of our school was boosted. With sad faces, the Southern Varsi- ty Rams taste defeat for the first and last time for the season. The team lines up to shake the hands of their opponent, Fairmont Heights, after losing their only game by a score of 148. Putting it on the line.3 During the Student Council lun- cheon, Dr. Jerome Ryscavage, su- perintendent of schools and sopho- more Joy McCain finish their meals. Joy was one of the tenth grade re presentatives to the Student Coun- cil Lining up on the stage during the annual yearbook assembly are year- book and newspaper staff members Darren Lambert (11), Mindy Wilt (11), Susan Ward (11), Robin Rohr- baugh (11), PJ Damon (11), and Sta-_ cey Haines (12). They helped pre- sent the slide show and take orders for yearbooks and newspapers. Opening Lines, lines, lines! Not only did our reputations get put on the line during school, but we ourselves were actually put into lines con: stantly during the school day. Everywhere in school you encountered lines. You had to wait in lines to get on and off the buses in the mornings. If you drove, you had to park your cars in lines in the parking lot. You usually sat in lines in your classes. You lined up to get food in the cafeteria during lunch. You wrote on lined paper. As you can see, lines played an integral part in our everyday school lives. The lines of cars in the parking lot became much shorter, due to the new rule that only seniors and faculty could park in the front parking lot. All other students were required to park in the football parking lot. This upset many of the underclassmen. Even when we wrote, we were surrounded by lines. Many teachers gave assignments that had to be a certain number of lines long. The notebook paper we wrote on every day contained lines. The literature studied in the many English classes contained lines. Carpentry students had to worry about getting their lines straight, while yearbook and newspa- per students had to worry about the number of lines they had in their stories. Lines were a big part of your high school career. The lines in the cafeteria became longer, even though there were fewer students than last year. ‘More people have started to buy school lunches because it is too much trouble to pack your lunch every morning. Plus with all the extra things, like Little Debbies and the potato chips, everyone has a better selection of food to choose from,” said sophomore Etta Persinger. Before one of the basketball games, Mr. Lowell Leitzel watches the starting line-up run out onto the floor, while senior statistician Shelli Terlizzi prepares the score book for the game. Opening 5 At the Winter Sports Homecoming dance, seniors Mike Inglese, Jason Park and junior Zack Gibson talk with the DJ for the evening, Mr. Jim Scott. Mr. Scott is a DJ from Q94, the radio station in Keyser. Some students use their free time to pursue a hobby. Darren Lambert's hobby is horse riding. He is seen rid- ing his horse in the annual Autumn Glory parade. 6 Student Life Division Student life Watching the bonfire festivities are Robbin Damon (12), Amy Buser (10), Karin Burns (12), Bobby Bernard (12), Marty Sharpless (12), Bobby Bernard (12), and Tommy Stitt (11). This was just one of the activites held to boost the moral of the football team. Lining up our social life Life for students at Southern didn't end when they walked out the doors at 3:15. It was just beginning. For many, the time after school was devoted to a part-time job, or watching younger brothers or siste rs. But for others, it was just the beginning of the fun. Most students spent their free time with their friends. They went to the movies, or to the mall in Cumberland. Some went to the teen center on Saturday nights. During the winter, many people enjoyed skiing at the Wisp. Some activites that students participated in were school sponsored. Two Homecomings, one in the fall and one in the winter, were sponsored by school clubs. Several bonfires were held to build the spirit of the football team during their perfect season. A social life can sometimes cause grades and perfor- mance in school to drop. This was where parents played the role of the bad guy, by grounding kids who did not spend enough time on their homework. No matter what students at Southern did, it was always apparent that the majority of the students had their social lives pretty well lined up.

Mike played the guard and nose guard positions during the game. Robbin is the cap- tain of the cheerleading squad. Getting the next game plan from Coach Dave Bosley is senior football player Doug Nesselrodt. Southern goes all out’ for Big time fun and excitement When spirit week came for football Homecoming, South- ern’s faculty and students joined in on the fun. Charnell Walkling (12) commented on spirit week: “I’m proud to see all the dedication our school puts into spirit week and | hope they do even better in the years to come.” One spirit day was crazy hair day. Joell Simmons (10) said, “It was very interesting to see how the people wore their hair although I didn’t have the nerve to do it. They had guts!”’ Nerd day brought out the taped and broken glasses, and fifties and sixties clothing. Many students and teachers joined together to psych up the team for the Homecoming game against Keyser. On October 2, 1987, not even a starless cloudy sky with rain coming down could stop enthusiastic Southern fans from gathering 1 2 hour before the game. When the game started, the team came roaring out of the athletic building and onto the field, jumping into a huge pile. Senior cheerleader Robbin Damon said, ‘‘Cheering with the crowd and keeping them psyched up is very important. It helps keep the team going.” It did just that. Southern wiped out the Keyser Tornadoes and racked up their fifth win in a row. The Homecoming dance was October 3, 1987, with ap- proximately 140 students attending. The school cafeteria was decorated with silver and red streamers, balloons, and red carnations on every table. The theme song was Honestly, by Stryper. Junior Dawn McCartin said, ‘It was a terrific chance to spend time with friends without getting in trouble.” Lori McCain (12) was asked how she felt about being on the court. Her reply was, “I’m shocked.” She went on to say, “‘I never thought anyone would vote for me.” The dance lasted until 11:00 pm. When everyone was gone, so were most of the decora- tions. It’s thought that it was the students’ way to remember this special time of their life. % x y gy i a Dancing during the Homecoming queen’s dance are seniors Doug Nes- selrodt and Lori McCain and juniors Jamie Colaw and Robin Johnson.

Summer practice began August 15th, while most students were en- joying summer vacation. Football Homecoming 9 ONE OF THE DIGNITARIES in the parade was one of the U.S. Senators of Maryland Barbara Mikulski. She has been a U.S. Senator for almost a year. WAVING A CHEERY HELLO to the spectators are Autumn Glory Queen Jennifer Golden and her princesses Shelli Bittinger from Northern, and Shelli Terlizzi from Southern. 10 Autumn Glory TO THE DELIGHT of many young- sters, they receive a wave from one of the Ali Ghan Shriner clowns. For the past 20 years, many people young and old alike have waited for the many scenes of the annual Au- tumn Glory parade. THIS LITTLE GIRL, dressed in Indi- an clothing, looks like she’s having trouble keeping the sun out of her eyes. She was one of the baton twirl- ers from Somerset that were dressed like American Indians. Tired of Sitting standing Excitement was high in the air. Bands were tensely prac- ticing. Floats were being given last minute highlights, and young and old alike were flocking to downtown Oakland. Why? They were all there for the twentieth annual Autumn Glory Festival. On Saturday, the day of the parade, people started coming to the festivities at 7:00 a.m. to get a seat. The people that did not arrive early enough to acquire seats or other places to sit were forced to stand. Most of the teenagers roamed around from street to street. ‘Former as well as present day students of S.H.S. were not interested in the parade, but more inquisitive of the activities of their pals,’’ said Susan Ward (11). The parade marshall was Miss Maryland Tammy Walker. Some other people sharing the spotlight with Miss Walker were Senator Barbara Mikulski, a live singing group called Youth Quest, and of course the clowns. Patrick Damon (11) commented, ‘‘The funniest part of the parade for me was the cheapskates walking up and down the streets selling items out of grocery carts.’ After the parade ended, many went to the Western Mary- land Tournament of the Bands. It lasted for four hours. Mr. Douglas Buckley replied, ‘‘I liked the band competition a lot, but | also got tired of sitting so long. If only there were a way to watch and not have to sit or stand to the point of getting tired.” As the band competition ended, so did many of the other activities. Tara Wildesen (10) shared her memories, “‘I really thought that it was a great Autumn Glory this year, because they had a lot of entertainment and good food. | also had fun being on the Journalism float in the Firemen’s Parade.”’ THE SINGING GROUP Youth-Quest entertain the crowd before the grand feature parade. This group traveled to Oakland from Lynchburg, Virgin- ia, where they attend Liberty Univer- sity.

Senior Eric Eiswert stated, ‘‘The class play was a lot of hard work and required a lot of dedication, but in the end, everything worked out. | made a lot of new friends and I'll never forget all the great times the cast had. Suck ‘em up!”’ Michelle Deckman (12) led the cast with her quick thinking and great leadership abilities. ‘‘My character in the play was kind of like me. It was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun. | wouldn't change it for the world.” Eric Eiswert (12) played a charasmatic, egotistical presi- dential advisor that led the president into many conflicts. The role of the presidential candidate was portrayed by Andy Pope (12). The presidential candidate was very back- ward and was persuaded easily into many faltering situa- tions. Andy said, ‘Il enjoyed playing the part of Maxwell Wright very much. It was an experience that | wouldn't trade for anything.”’ Dawn Warnick (12) presented a hilarious performance that was mixed between her sceaming at the president's family and watching woody-wood pecker while stuffing her face with Kentucky Fried Chicken. Dawn said, ‘I liked my charac- ter because it was fun to play. It was enjoyable and drew a lot of laughs.” There were many fine characters that helped make this a successful play. Senior Tabitha Sliger said, ‘Practices got to be a little tiring, but over all they were fun. We put on the play well, and the audience seemed to enjoy the play.” Senior Class Play 13 Behind the scenes Piece of Have you ever thought about what goes on behind the curtains? The spectacular preparations for the play, The Second Lady, was hard, but fun, work. Let’s look at just a few of the brain boggling jobs that must be done to make the play setting absolutely perfect. There were a few small accidents that occured. Todd Welch (12) was quoted as saying, ‘The funniest thing that happened was when Alden Perando (12) and John McCartney (12) were taking down the mov- ie screen in the cafeteria and since the lad- der was old and needed replaced, it started giving away and down came Alden and John.” The scene itself: furniture, the right pic- tures, glasses, Carpet and so on must be found to make the right scene. Then things were arranged a million times to suit the characters’ and the direc- tor’s taste. After everything was right, the Stage crew got to relax for just a second. They would soon be on the run to find that , cake little something that was missing. Director Miss Jane Avery said, “| was pleased with the cooperation of the com- munity and the school. | thought it was a success and | hope everyone learned som e- thing from doing the play.”’ What about the many hours spent on make-up? Someone spent much of their time making sure that the characters looked great for the viewing audience. Greta Younkin (12) said, “‘It was different having so much make-up on. It took time putting it on and taking it off.” The Second Lady had many memorable moments. The times the characters spent together were enjoyable and won't ever be forgotten. Senior Chris Helbig stated, ‘‘The time | will remember the most was when a scene ended and there was nobody to close the curtain. Greta Younkin (12) came run- ning out of the dressing room to close it. | thought the play was put together quite well and everyone seemed to enjoy them- selves.” Rearranging the furniture for the wedding ceremony are seniors Lori Trying to explain to Tabitha Sliger © McCain and John McCartney.

After an entire day of decorating, the cafeteria was ready for the one hundred and fifty people attending the 1988 Winter Sports Homecoming Dance. The Homecoming ballot consisted of all student coun: cil members and any student participating in a winter sport. The court was made up of a representative from each class with three seniors running for queen. Those court members not pictured Seniors Bonnie Lohr and Pam Evans enjoy the company of their out of school guests as they take a break from the crowded dance floor. 16, Winter Homecoming were senior princess Cheryl Wilt escorted by Bobby Ber- nard and sophomore prin- cess Missie DiSimone escort- ed by Marshall Pike. All evening the floor was packed with people dancing to the music provided by Jim Scott from Q-94 FM. When asked what she thought of the dance, senior Tabitha Sliger replied, ‘‘l thought it was alright, but they needed more enthusias- tic people to attend.”’ Towards the end-of the evening, balloons were dropped on the dancers from the ceiling to signify the end- ing of yet another Homecom- ing dance.

How many people would go water skiing in the middle of March in Garrett County? Prob- ably not too many, but several area residents and tourists tried it at Winterfest XV. As a new event at Winterfest, they had the complicated pond cross. Skiers came down the hill and tried to cross a pond of water without falllng in. One sophomore, Melanie Tasker, said, ‘‘It was really different, especial- ly since it was in the month of March when everything else was white with snow.” Food boothes were also set up to provide munchies for the tourists, decorations were hung everywhere, and the local radio station was there to broadcast all of the events. To play the familiar sounds of the mountain music was the band South Paw. This band played at Winterfest for the past few years. The local kids, as well as adults, looked for- An enthusiastic skier tries his har- dest to become first place in the Governor's Cup Race.

The slopes provided just enough snow for the tournaments, although the weather barely held out through the week- end. Winterfest brought in a lot of tourists, which was great for the county. They enjoyed the fresh air, the cool breeze, the warm sun, the snowy mountains, just like the people who cherish the land year round. Other than the pond cross, there were other events as well. Events such as the competitive snowmobile hill climb, the three legged ski race, and the torch lite parade which ended the weekend celebration. Ski season 87-88 will leave behind a lot of memories for the skiers and the people who just went to the Wisp to watch them. Winterfest 19 The ups and downs © A new coat of paint One young man spilled a half gallon of white paint in his car and all over the parking lot. He then painted the asphalt black so that the junior class wouldn't get into trouble for messing things up. Kenny Glotfelty was this mysterious young man. Kenny Glotfelty said, “I couldn't believe | spilled paint in my car. | could have just died, but not only that, I spilled paint on the school parking lot. | painted the parking lot over so our class wouldn't get in to trouble. When you come to think about it, it is kind of funny. The cast members of the play sure did a lot of work and we went though a lot of crap.” He added, “‘My car suddenly turned white and the parking lot has a spot brighter than the rest. All this in just one night. That’s a lot of liven for a kid like me. Well the work was hard. We also had a great time.”’ aag f ahs 20° Jrs-Class Play “In all honesty, | was warned several times about taking on this year’s juniors as a play cast,”’ said Miss Jane Avery. She added, “They are a group that is known for its rampant silliness - they are difficult to pull together and even harder to keep focused.” Brian Ridenour commented, ‘“‘It was a lot of work. The work was a lot of heck, but we all pulled together to finish the play and make it a time to remember.”’ P.J. Damon commented, ‘‘The junior class play was a lot of work. It also was a lot of fun. We had rough times and some great ones too.” ‘The first month of practices wasn’t so hard but after set raise, things got hectic,’’ commented Brenden Updyke. From every cast member, there was a little push telling just how hard it was, but all in all, they enjoyed it very much. Dave Burdock is getting tackled by PJ Damon and Scott Kapel. It seems that Dave was supposed to keep his mouth shut and he didn’t so they had to calm him down. JJ Glotfelty was trying to see if she was a born ballerina.

Cast mem- bers needed such time to relax and unwind before the next perfor- mance. Jr. Class Play°21 Good and bad reaction The Junior Class presented their play to the school and community. Shawna Warnick (11) commented, ‘I thought the junior class play was slightly amusing. The parts seemed to fit perfect. They were really good at what they were doing.”’ Patty Collins (11) said, ‘I think the play was really acted out good. The cast members just acted as if they were part of their characters. Nothing else mattered just as long as their parts were done right.”’ Junior Kathy Stewart commented, ‘‘The fact is the play was like all the rest. It was acted out and just as good as the rest of them ever acted out.” Melanie Thomas (11) went on to say the play was good but ‘I’m not going to say better than any I’ve ever seen cause that just wouldn’t be right. They all were fine plays and any one can tell that all the plays that been acted here are all very well acted.” Junior Anna Sisler commented, “It was very funny, | en- joyed watching it, | think everyone did cause who wants to watch something that’s boring. | think it better to have a play with humor than a play that’s so boring no one wants to stay and watch.” Stacy Beckman (10) commented, ‘‘Well, it was a play and it was better than sitting in class the whole time and besides, | really thought it was a nice play.” It was thought Scott Sutton was Perhaps Aaron Cropp should have smarter than to put shoe polish in _ left the notes where they were in- his hair.

Jr. Class Play 23 French exchange once again renewed After many years of dormancy, the French exchange pro- gram was once again reenacted. Southern was paired with a school in Vannes, France, for the exchange. In February five students and advisor Mr. Lowell Leitzel traveled to Vannes, France for a fun-filled three weeks. While in France, they went to school with their host students. Near the end of their stay, the Americans travelled to the famous city of Paris where they spent three days. While in Paris, they went to the Louvre Museum, where the Mona Lisa is housed, and to the Eiffel tower. Dave Eiswert (10) said, “I enjoyed going to Paris. | especially liked the Louvre Museum, but | don’t think the Mona Lisa is as pretty as everyone Claims she is.”’ “The trip to France was a great learning experience for me,’’ said Mary Beth Johnson (12). ‘I realized that French people aren't as different from us as | had thought. | made a lot of friends and memories that | can keep for a lifetime.”’ The students that went to France did not have very much time to rest up before the students from France arrived in America. On March 26, twelve students and one advisor arrived in Oakland from Vannes, France. They, too, spent three weeks in America. While here, the host families arranged many trips, parties Sitting with Oliver Girodot and Har- old Auradou is sophomore Dave Eis: wert. Dave was the only boy to trav- el to France from Southern. Standing in front of one of the world’s most famous landmarks, the Eiffel Tower, are Rebecca Finch (10), Mary Beth Johnson (12), Dave Eiswert (10), Becky Ahern (11), and Laura Savage (12). They also went to the Louvre while they were in Par- is. _24-Frénch Exchange and activities for the French students. They held a welcome banquet and a going away party. They also took the French students to Washington, D.C., for a day. At the welcome banquet, there were many guest speakers, including Dr. Jerome Ryscavage, the superintendent of the Garrett County Schools. The Southern Stage band played, and senior Mary Beth Johnson sang the song, Somewhere Out There. Sometimes, no matter how fun the exchange was, it could be difficult to invite a stranger into your home for three weeks. “'It was really neat having an exchange student, but it had some disadvantages. For one thing, | had to give up my room for the duration of their stay. However, | gained a lot of knowledge and experience from this. It proves that people from a different country and culture are not so different after all.”’ ‘The exchange was a complete success,” said Janine Busson, the French teacher. ‘‘We have once again realized that, in spite of differences, it is always possible for willing people to make and have fruitful contacts.”’ Isabelle Lambert said, ‘‘This was a marvelous and unfor- gettable stay. Thanks to the gifts and the memories, Oakland will always seem just a few steps away.” me aly Ree on eA.

French Exchangé 25 Improving foreign relations | German exchange takes 16 to Sulingen, West Germany Did you ever wonder what it would be like to spend three weeks living in a foreign country, to stay with a family that did not speak English on a regular basis, and to travel to some of the most famous places in the world? Sixteen stu- dents from Southern got an opportunity to have this exper- ience in August, 1987. They, along with Mrs. Joan Lambert and Mr. Lowell Leitzel, traveled to the town of Sulingen, which is located in the northern part of West Germany. While in Germany, our students got to see and do many different things. They traveled to the famous city of Cologne where they visited Cologne cathedral, one of the most beauti- ful Gothic cathedrals in the world. They also traveled to Bonn, the capital of West Germany. While there, they got to see the German Parliament in ses- sion. Tracy Umstot (12) said, ‘‘I liked Cologne the best because of the cathedral. It was so pretty! It was really strange to be Standing inside a building that has been standing for longer than America has been a country.’ The Americans also got to take a cruise on the Rhine river while in Cologne. Taking in the German night life was a big part of the trip. Mike Hornyak (11) stands in the entrance to Papa Joe's Jazz Club in Cologne, one of the many night club attended by stu- dents from Southern. Saying goodbye is always difficult, but the Germ an host families did it with style at the going away party for the Americans.

They traveled to Oakland to attend school at Southern for one semes- ter. 26 German Exchange In addition to the three day trip to Bonn and Cologne, the students also traveled to many places around Sulingen, such as the Town Hall, the Fire Department, and to a peat bog. Students did not spend all of their time going on field trips, however. They spent much time attending the classes of their host students. ‘‘Their school is more like what we con- sider to be a college,”’ said Bernadette Fousek (12). ‘‘If the teacher is not there for the day, they don’t have to go to class. The kids are free to leave school any time they want. It was really cool.” The three weeks the students spent in Sulingen went by very quickly. For some, perhaps too quickly. But the friend- ships and the memories that were made will remain for a very long time afterward. The German exchange did not stop with the return of the Americans to Oakland. In January, three girls from Sulingen came to Oakland to finish out the school year. Brigitte Loge- mann, Imke Runge, and Gunde Sudmann stayed with junior Christine Bittinger for the time they were here. They also traveled to Texas, where they attended a school for a while. a Wearing a German asbestos suit is senior Tracy Umstot.

As shiny vehicles filled the parking lot, girls in beautiful gowns emerged from every direction. Handsome princes in tuxedo attire accompanied the prin- cesses as they walked to the door. The night was clear, the air was warm, and all were on their way up the stairway to heaven. Lots of work needed to be done in order for the May 14th prom to be perfect. The junior class began these preparations im months before prom. A band and decorations were decided on and the invita- tions were printed. The theme of the prom was Stairway to Heaven and the colors were electric blue and silver. For weeks and weeks stores were searched for that perfect gown. Each girl hoping to be lucky enough to find a gown no one else had purchased. After the gown was found they now had hopes of looking fantastic for the special night. To these students inhaling the heli- um from the balloons proved to be one of the highlights of the evening. Watching as the other court mem- bers are announced are princess Karin Burns and her escort Mark Friend. Explaining to sophomore Jarrod Hauser why she can’t dance with him is junior Yolanda Walkling.

While being congratulated by Mr. Marty Green, Queen Robbin Damon and King JR Bosley show their hap- piness through their smiles. 30 Prom On the day of the prom some girls chose to get ready themselves. Others chose to go to salons and have their hair done by someone else. Senior Pam Gnegy commented, ‘‘Prom will certainly be a night | won't forget. I'm sure others won't either. It was so neat to see everyone so dressed up and possibly acting their age.” While at prom many found enjoyment in the helium bal- loons. It seemed that after one person inhaled the helium, many others decided to join in. For others, prom proved to be a night of romance and enjoying the company of someone you cared about. Many special memories were made on prom night. Seniors would remember it as the last time they were all together with their friends. It also gave underclassmen something to look forward to in the upcoming years. Salons and hair ‘| don’t wanna grow up’ Trying to decide what to eat out of the enormous assortment of food is senior Stacy Bowser and her out of school guest. Announcing the court members is Junior Class President Courtney Smith as junior Tommy Stit watch- es closely. “| don’t wanna grow up!”’ seems to be what junior Mike Vance says as he finds amusement in the helium balloons. Prom 31 Graduation - everlasting memories A shiver, a sparkle in the eye, a smile, a laugh, and a glowing feeling that felt like it had no end was the look of the Class of 1988 just before they received their diplomas. The shiver may have been from the high cold winds on that sunny day of Sunday, June 5, 1988. Even a few tears could be seen here and there. Some were for Craig Shafer, who was still in the Rehabilitation Hospital of Altoona, Pa., and wasn’t able to be at graduation. Craig sent a message to the seniors and Principal Mr. Arthur Refosco read it at graduation. The message stated, “‘l wish I could be with you. | want to thank the senior class for all that they have done for me this year. | want to wish the seniors luck in whatever career they chose.”’ He especialy wanted to thank Mr. Refosco for all that he had done for him, but Mr. Refosco never read that part during d The Valedictorian is Bobby Bernard (12).

Mr. William Goldsborough was going to present the diplo- mas to the senior class, but he died over the previous week- end. Mrs. Beverly Murphy instead graciously took the high honor of giving out the diplomas to the two hundred and twenty-three graduates. Darren Nordeck’s and Charlie Plessinger’s diplomas were lost in with the remaining ones as they came to receive them. Darren’s took the longest to find. When it was found, the graduates and guests gave him a big applause. The graduating class wasn’t quite ready to receive their diplomas. Mr. Refosco had to tell the first row of seniors to stand as they hesitated to get up from their chairs for the first time since they had been in school.

The band lost nineteen members, but they were still able to play at graduation for the big audience that filled the home bleachers. People who came late had to stand and watch. This was the first year in the history of the school that there were no snow days. As a result, the juniors got out June 3, and the seniors didn’t graduate until June 5. ‘I will miss my friends very much. I'll never forget the good and bad times we had over the years from grade school in Kitzmiller through high school in Oakland,” said Todd Hershberger. He went on to say, ‘“The students of the senior class may have failed in a few ways, but excelled in many others. | wish them the best of times in the future that lays so near and so far away and | hope they appreciate the life that they were given.” Graduation 35 The thrill of a hard-earned victory sweeps through the football team as Mike Bittinger (11) happily greets the camera.

They serve as boundaries and goal lines. They serve as indicators of achievement. Lines at Southern also served as a carrier of good sports: manship. After each contest, the teams would line up to shake hands with their opponents. This displayed their good sportsmanship not only to the fans, but to the other teams as well. Many of the lines in sports seemed unattainable to the players. For example, the last touchdown of the Allegany- Southern playoff game seemed impossible to reach. Through hard work and determination, the goal was reached and crossed, resulting in Southern’s victory. This also occured in track. Our track runners gave their all to reach the finish line, and first place. Lines also created the boundaries for the playing areas. Many times in basketball, a player stepped out of bounds, relinquishing the ball, and sometimes even points, to the other team. In baseball, when the ball was hit past the outfield line, it was considered a home run. If the ball were hit across the base line on either side, it was considered a foul and gave more Opportunities to score. Lines, whether they be bad or good, played an integral part in any sporting event. Attempting to pin his opponent is senior Scott Marley. He went on to pin his opponent and win the match.

Even the most dedicated South- ern fans thought their team’s undefeated record would end. The Rams refused to accept defeat.

Senior player Robert Arbo- gast said, ‘‘I had a funny feeling something was going to hap- pen. Even though Tucker Coun- ty was favored to win, | knew our desire to win would bring us the victory.” Southern scored 19 more points for another win. The Rams won against all odds. “The Rams have not had a winning streak comparable to this one since 1979,’’ said Coach Tom Woods when Southern won their tenth in a row for the regular season. Coach Woods was also asked what the first thing was he ‘Let me at ‘em,’ seems to be Richard Mann's (11) words as Brent Sanders (11) holds on to him. Richard plays split end, and Brent plays tailback. looked at when playing another team. ‘The first thing | look at is the intensity which the other team approaches the game. | certainly know their size before we play them.” He also commented on the linemen’s help for the season: “Without the linemen and some of the other players like Zack (Gibson), JR (Bosley), and Mike (Bittinger), this excellent season would not have happened.” Southern led the way on the All-Conference team with seven players selected, most of the conference members from 1987. Four of the players were named the 1987 Cumberland Times-News All Area Offensive Team. They were JR Bosley (running-back), John Milligan (kicker), Gordon Savage (line- man), and Mike Inglese (line- man). Three other players were named to the 1987 Cumberland Times-News All Area Defensive Team. They were Mike Bit- tinger (lineman), Bobby Bernard (linebacker), and Zack Gibson (defensive back).

Varsity Football Southern and Allegany go head on Overtime excite- ment Over 7,000 people attended the first ever football game between Allegany and Southern. Not even imported bleachers from Terra Alta could seat the many fans of the Southern Rams. Not even mud and freezing air could stop the Rams. Southern dominated the 1st half with a touchdown by JR Bosley (12). The Campers got desperate and gave their all to squeeze in a touchdown in the third quarter. The Rams and the Campers were smacked with overtime. Both teams were desperate to get just one touchdown for the win. The football was handed to both teams once until Southern pulled through with another touchdown by JR Bosley. Crunched under Southern kleats, the Campers were defeated while the Rams celebrated their eleventh win in a row. After their victory, the Rams advanced to the Class B semi-final game against Fairmont Heights near Washington, DC. After a roaring pep assembly Friday morning, the Rams left for their College Park motel. Students and adults boarded the two chartered buses which left at 7:00 am Saturday morning in a blinding snowstorm. Stacy Bowser (12) commented on how cold it was at the game: “Even though your feet froze as soon as you stepped on the ground, it was all worth it when we saw our proud guys run onto the field.” : The only touchdown by Southern was in the second half which was a 14-play, 89-yard drive ending in JR Bosley’s touchdown. Southern had the ball at the end of the game but ran out of time before they could get a touchdown. Fairmont Heights won 14:8. ‘Fairmont may have won the game, but the Rams have won our hearts,’’ said Melanie Tasker (10). OU The referees call the touchdown that won the game for Southern. Southern’s JR Bosley (12) made the touchdown against Allegany. Signs went up almost everywhere when the people of Oakland found out Alle- gany was coming to Southern. This im- pressed many of the people who saw them. Senior Kristine Paugh seems to be get- ting into the spirit of the pep rally while her friends Tammy Kight (12) and Tammy Legeer (12) watch the team par- ticipate in the pep rally activities. The pep rally was held the same day of the game. Varsity Football 41 JV continues winning tradition Over 17 games won in last three years The JV football team, under Coach Jim Bosley, and assistants Mr. Scott Harvey and Mr. Paul Pacella, produced another winning season by going 8-1 and continuing the Southern winning tradition. The JV squad improved with each game and showed hard work and intensity in every practice. Sophomore John Stem stated, ‘“‘You could notice a great im- provement in our attitude and performance at the end of each week of practice.” Mike Dever, the sophomore fullback, stated, ‘‘This was the most enjoyable football season | have ever had. | am looking forward to Varsity next year!” The JV squad surprised the whole school with their great sea- son. Coach Jim Bosley stated, ‘I certainly wasn’t expecting to have such a great season. | honestly was hoping to win four or five games, but as the season went on we improved tremendously!”’ Coach Bosley received help from his assistants Scott Harvey and Paul Pacella, which also contributed to their sucess. Sophomore Dave Eiswert stated, ‘‘This was my first season of football, and | achieved a lot of goals. The coaches and organiza- tion really know what they are doing.” ‘‘| enjoyed working with these kids more than any other group,”’ said Coach Jim Bosley. He went on to add, ‘‘They made practice fun and most of the time very interesting.” The Rams huddle up before a game. This is a tradition of the JV Rams. The JV Rams line up for a kick-off.

They did, however, have what it took to get to the Districts and they were sucessful there. The team tried with all of its talent to make this season one to remember, but it just didn’t work. ‘The season was rough, but we still believe we are the best,”’ said junior Cathy Kimble. She added, ‘“‘The team lost in the way of points, but it gained in knowledge, spirit and pride, which showed in the defense and offense of the team.” Coach Helen Rostosky remarked, ‘‘The best game we had this A rough but season was against Flinstone.

They came in fourth place out of nine very determined teams. “Cheryl Wilt did a good job of keeping the team together,”’ said Coach Rostosky. Cheryl Wilt and Debbie Bateman were the top leading scorers. The strongest hitters were seniors Tab Sliger and Regina Crews, and juniors Cathy Kimble and Katie Groves.

Many people came from all areas of Garrett County to see the enthusiastic cheerleaders. The varsity squad organized pep rallies for both football and basketball. They also participated in the Busch Gardens Cheerlead- ing Festival in the spring. Many of the squad members thought the highlight of the season was the Busch Gardens Cheerleading Festival. Senior Lori McCain stated, ‘Cheerleading was really stimulating this year. We did not do as well at Busch Gardens as we thought but we accomplished a lot.”’ The squad also was able to go to the state semi-final football game at Fairmont Heights.

This squad consisted of six spirited girls ranging from grades nine through twelve. Southern had a wrestling squad years ago, but, due to lack of interest, there had not been one for many years. Rhonda Calhoun (12) said, ‘‘I really enjoyed cheering for wres- tling, although I wish they would have started a wrestling cheer- leading squad sooner.” The JV squad attended Salisbury State University Cheerleading Camp in July. Due to much experience cheering in previous years, the Junior Varsity squad was hard to beat. “Thad lots of fun cheering for JV, especially cheerleading camp. It was a lot of hard work but it was worth it,”’ said Stephanie Piper (9). They also had the opportunity to cheer with the varsity squad during Football Homecoming. Heather Hinebaugh, a freshman, said, ‘Cheering with varsity was fun and | think it was a good experience for next year.” Keeping the spirit alive is freshman Heather Hinebaugh. The Rams went on to win the game 74-53. Finding it difficult to cheer and pay at- tention to what their fans are doing is Jeanine Shank (9) and Stephanie Piper (9).

On March 1, 1988, the team departed from the Southern parking lot and traveled to Northern High School where they would go up against the Allegany Campers. Fans came to help the cheerleaders cheer the team on. In the end the Rams were defeated by ALCO with a score of 55-58. Senior Bobby Bernard said this about the season: ‘‘We accom: plished much of the success we wanted to create. We worked together as a team, and therefore, had a very successful season.”’ Four seniors received awards during their last high school year.

This was quite an accomplishment for new head coach Mr. Bill Ewing who was a teacher at Southern Middle School. Coach Ewing took over the JV squad from Mr. Dave Bender who was the new coach of the Northern Huskies varsity basketball team. ‘We started a variety of combinations and most of our players got valuable playing time,’’ stated coach Ewing. He went on to say that these players should be able to make a good contribution to the varsity squad next year. Sophomore Dave Upole commented, ‘This year turned out to be great. Everyone came in with a completely different attitude than last year. We worked hard over the summer and in practice, and our hard work paid off. | really enjoyed this year and can’t wait until next season.”’ The JV program was a huge success.

This was Brian's first year on the wrestling team. Keeping your opponant down on the mat must be strenuous work. Here is senior Arthur Feddie showing how hard wrestling really is. An individual sport which required concentration and a personal desire to win was wrestling. This sport took much practice time and training so that no serious injuries took place on the mat. The wrestling team had a slow start but gradually progressed throughout the season. ‘‘As you can see from the scores, our team improved in the last half of the season. We still lost but we did not lose by such large margins as in the beginning of the season,” stated Coach Mr. Robert Browning. The team had a season of 1-9. Andrew Frost (11) stated, ‘‘l thought we didn’t have a good team record. | thought that we all had pretty good personal records..”’ ‘Wrestling is a good sport because it gives you a good physical workout,’ commented junior Lance Beahm. He added, “‘It teaches you dis cipline and gives you more of a sick sense because when you are out on the mat, you don’t have time to think, but you have to make your move before it is too late.”’ The team grew smaller as well as younger and was still in the building stage. Most of the eleven member team will be eligible to wrestle again next year. This was the first year in a long time that the wrestling team had cheerleaders. This feature helped to attract a larger crowd to the home matches, as well as keeping the wrestlers spirits up through- out their tough season.

This was done to increase school spirit for the girls’ game. Senior Rhonda Calhoun said, “‘It was different to play against the cheerleaders instead of the usual opposing teams.

Girls Basketball 61 Encouragement from behind How would you like to spend every evening after school until six o’clock and have some of your Saturday mornings blown away until noon just to play basketball? A total num- ber of seven girls did exactly that. With full cooperation, but tough competition, the JV Rams were able to win two out of their ten games, despite the fact that most of the team was made up of freshmen. Coach Ken McLaughlin said, ‘‘The girls were inexperi- enced at the beginning of the season. They had lit tle or no previous experience, but as the season progessed, they did better. | hope they are better next year.”’ They were out to learn and try new things. Because of this, the JV basketball team had a rough time and season. The team was lead by two sophomores, Tracie Dawson and Angela Geer. This was their first year of playing basket- ball. Angela Geer said, “If we didn’t have the coach behind us for encouragement, we wouldn’t have lasted.” She went on to say, ‘“The season didn’t show up as well as we wanted it to but we really tried hard.” Looking over her sho ulder to see (9).

Assistant Coach Ed Wildesen said, ‘‘Going into play-offs with a 17-2 record, we were certainly looking forward to going further than the regional championship game. We had some key people back from last year and were playing well, well enough to get to the state tournament.” Mr. Wildesen added, “‘At least that is what we thought. It was nice, however, to be named the area’s number one baseball team for the second straight year by the area coaches in the Cumberland Times News Poll.”’ The coaches were pleased with the play of the team and were very proud of their successful season.

Let’s face it! Baseball was not as easy as it looked! ‘This year was the most times that | was ever hit by the pitch while batting. | hardly ever get hit, but this year | got hit four times,’ said Dave Upole (10). The JV Baseball team did fairly well. However, in some games, they did not seem very psyched up. ‘| think the team had a good attitude. We made some mental mistakes that cost us some games which we should have won!”’ said Shawn Ryan (9). He added, ‘‘However, we also pulled out several victories by keeping the right outlook and not getting discouraged.” During one of the season’s games, the weather took a friek turn, and snowed, which was quite unusual for baseball season, even for Garrett County! How would you like to be told to hustle and stop all balls coming your way in 30 degree weather? The team consisted of sixteen members, ten sophomores and six freshmen. Baseball can even be dangerous especially if the injury was self- inflicted. ‘| was in the process of fielding a ground ball when the ball rolled up my arm. Then | was standing there looking for it and it hit me on the head,” said Charlie Plauger (10). Sometimes baseball can turn out to be a game other than base- ball. At one of the games against Valley, Charlie Plauger (10) tackled the third baseman in his attempt to reach third base.

In previous years the team had to sit on benches no matter rain nor shine. Now the team had new dug-outs to shade themselves in. Lack of experienc e turned out to be the determining factor in any of the losses experienced by the softball team. ‘Our pitching staff had no previous experence. We gave up too many walks. Walks were the number one reason we didn’t have a winning season,’ stated Coach Ken McLaughlin. The majority of the team was underclassmen. Only one person played in their original spot, which made it very difficult. Senior Greta Younkin said, ‘‘Although it wasn’t a winning sea- son, | had lots of fun.” One advantage of being on softball was that you got out of school early. Many of the games were scheduled as double head- ers, so t he games had to start in the early part of the afternoon. The team worked hard to make the overall performance better. They practiced everyday after school. While running to first base, Missie DiSi- mone (10) watches to see where the ball is. Missie was used in three positions on the field.

The Rams swept every team but one and continued their win- ning tradition. Three of the six seniors, who were leaving the team, had been playing tennis since it began at Southern four years ago. Gordon Savage (12) and Rob Sharps (11), the number three and five seeds, went undefeated. Gordon commented, ‘‘Tennis has been a lot of fun this year. The trips weren’t bad either.” Rob Sharps and Cheryl Wilt (12) competed at the States in College Park, entering as doubles. Senior Eric Eiswert, the team’s number one seed, said, ‘] have never enjoyed an activity more in my life.

Unfortunately, they lost their next game against Petersburg, which turned out to be the toughest, challenging team during the season. Courtney Smith (11), one of the best singles player, said, ‘‘I really enjoy tennis, and | hope to play in college. Right now, I just try to play the best that I can, though if things work out so that I can play at college - great!” “Patricia (Heatherman), Chery! (Wilt), and Courtney (Smith) are the three best doubles players. Any combination of the three would form an outstanding doubles team,” said Coach Linda Garris. When asked how she felt about the team, Mrs. Garris replied, “They are great!’ The biggest opposition for the players and coaches was the inadequate practice facility. The length of a tennis court should extend north to south. The reason for this is to prevent a player from having to directly face the sun at any time of day. The length of the Southern High School tennis courts extend east to west. The second court was not level. It contained a low spot. During the first winter, the low spot held water. Over the past two years, A look of concentration comes from the face of Karin Burns (12). This is Karin’s second year on the team. After getting hot while practing on a cold day, Cheryl Wilt (12) takes off her sweats. Cheryl went on to win her match 8-3 against her Hampshire oppo- nent. 76 Girls Tennis the surface has eroded and the water has drained directly under the surface of the court. As a result, the acrylic finish on the surface has broken up. This caused danger for anyone playing on the court. A poor footing could result in a twisted knee or ankel. The ball also didn’t bounce right. A tennis facility must contain enough courts for an entire team to practice. This would include challenge and practice matches as well as drills and ball machine use. Proper maintenance is also important for better playing ability and keeping someone from getting hurt. The two tennis courts were not big enough for all the girls tennis members to play in a practice match at one time. Private courts and the Southern Middle School court had to be used which kept the team split up. ‘These seniors started with me four years ago. They are my pride and joy and there are no words to express the loss that I will experience when they are gone. They have brought a great deal of happiness into my life, not only during tennis season, but all year long,’ said Coach Garris. While using a backhand swing, Patricia Heatherman (12) grasps the racquet with the other hand so the ball flies more accurately onto the court of her opponent. Serving the ball is Pam Gnegy (12).

Each one different and unique, but all with one thing in common: the high school they attend. For the most part, the faces were the same as before. We looked around on the first day of school to see all of our old friends, acquaintances, and teachers. But there were some new twists added to the scene this time. Some might have noticed a new girl in the senior class who spoke with a French accent. Her name was Benedicte Bron- chart, and she was a Rotary Exchange student at Southern. Benny, as many of her new-found friends came to call her, came from Belgium to find out what American life was like. Southern also played host to many other foreign exchange students throughout the year. In January, three girls traveled to Garrett County from Sulingen, West Germany, to spend the rest of the school year with us. One of them, Brigette Logemann, ha d been here last year with the German ex- change. In March, as a part of yet another of Southern’s foreign exchange programs, thirteen French students came here to study and observe for three weeks. They stayed in the homes of French students from Southern. Some of the new faces around school didn't come from such exotic places as France or Germany. Most were stu- dents that moved here from other parts of the state or coun- try. It didn’t matter if you came from across the state, nation, or the globe, you were all a part of the people that made up the student and faculty body of SHS. Trading senior pictures is a big event in the lives of the seniors. Sen- iors Shannan Sharpless, Laura Buckley, Andy Pope, and Arthur Fedde swap pictures between each other.

What possesses students to have the many nervous habits that they do? The most obvious and ob- served form of nervousness is biting on the tip of a pencil.

Wilt, Gordon Savage, Pam Gnegy, Doug Fike, and Eric Eiswert have in com- mon? They were all four year tennis players. Four years ago Southern decided to add some new sports to the school, and ten- nis was among them. These six players tried out, made the team, and had stuck with it for four years. It was like an end of a begin- ning. Senior Pam Gnegy said, ‘Tennis means a lot to me. It keeps me out of trouble.” There was a goal these players had set and that was to win PVC’s and states. They had to put up with snow, rain, wind, and yes, sunshine. 88 Seniors The finale The weather wasn’t the only factor: courts that fell apart, nets that dropped and one playing until the ball dis- appeared into the darkness. Gary Long (12) stated, ‘‘My goal this season is to win PVC’s. Tennis has been exciting and very fun. I love being a part of the team.”’ — £§£§£o It keeps me out of trouble! TT Gordon Savage (12) was also quoted as saying, “My four years on the team have been very enjoyable. We should have a very good team this year. | think the hardest part about my tennis career at Southern has been conforming to the alluded Pratt Rules.”’ Through the years these six players have grown at- tached to each other and knew what true friendship was. They depended on each other for support to carry them through that rough match they should have won, but didn't. It helped to have a strong shoulder to lean on. No mat- ter what happened this sea- son, these players knew they had made friendships that would last a lifetime, on or off the courts. Trying to figure out what Coach Fred Pratt is talking about are seniors Gordon Savage and Eric: Eiswert. Gordon was seeded three on the team while Eric was seeded number one.

Did you ever wonder wh at it would be like to teach a class full of rowdy students? Several senior students had the opportunity to take over the reigns on senior teacher day. Many enjoyed the experience while others never wanted to teach again. Senior Bernadette Fousek flatly stated, ‘I'd never want to be a teacher! You have to constantly keep them busy and quiet.” The next question that was asked was, why did you want to participate in Senior Teacher Day?

Senior Angelo Oliverio made the comment, ‘“‘It’s not that easy being the head hon- cho.” Although these students said it wasn’t easy, they all agreed that more Senior Teacher Days should be giv- en. Despite the fact it was hard, they enjoyed the exper- ience and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Or have seen the guy with the muscles of Arnold Schwartzeneger? All of this was due to the fitness craze that was not only sweeping Southern High, but was sweeping the nation. Students wanted to look their best and when they looked their best, they felt better about themselves. Senior Willie Riley said, ‘'] keep fit by playing tennis and softball in the summer and skiing and basketball in the winter. Keeping my body fit is important. | feel better after | exercise.” Every student in Southern did some form of exercise. 92 Seniors Even walking from one class to another was exercise.

Senior Cheryl Wilt replied, ‘‘I think the fitness craze is good. Exercise makes me feel good on the inside and makes me look good on the outside.

As. they received their diplomas, a big sigh of relief passed over. The most important thing to a senior was to graduate. Just to think, ‘I’ve made it” is enough to bring a smile to any graduating senior. Senior Darci Visniski stat- ed, ‘Once you've graduated, it’s hard to believe you're out of school.

However, we did here, ‘There will be a two hour delay for Garrett County schools today.”’ Here’s what some kids said when they head this. Shawna Warnick (11) said she thought, ‘‘It’s great!” That's how most probably felt, but how many really did? Linda Welch (11) said, “It’s wonderful because | can sleep in longer.’’ That does sound better than getting up with Jack Frost. Krieg Dilgard (11) replied by saying, “We should have them all ... year because | hate going to school in the winter, it’s too cold to be going Do sl es : a outside.” Now, to find out how many teachers reall liked teaching on cold days, here was how the felt about the delays of winter. Mrs. Linda Garris said, “‘It’s fine and it’s bette than a cancellation.” It was also fun because there are shorter clas periods and students don’t have to make up the school day. Mr. Gene Grimm said, ‘| don’t think too muc Orit Jack Frost delays were just a part of the se son. We had to go though the snow and all th cold to get to the season of the sun and the greer instead of the white everywhere one happens t look. The snow got about a foot and a half dee before it decided to stop snowing. It wasn't tc bad this time around. The snow only got abot half as high as usual. This was the first time in school history thi there weren't any school cancellations. Tara W desen (10) commented, “I think it’s great that wv did't have any snow days, because we get out | school earlier.”’ Better luck for the snow next year. This is a picture of one of the county’s new sno plows. Due to the lack of snow this past winter, didn’t see much action.

Everyone looked so different, you're not sure how to dress. You're afraid people would laugh. — ee ‘Flintstone sounds like I lived in Bedrock.” Going to a new school would be like going into a new world. Everything would have to change and you would have to start over again. Making new friends and trying to fit in makes it hard for some. Here was how some of the new kids felt about starting here and how they got treated by the other kids. Mary Thames (10) said, ‘I really don’t like this school but it’s OK. | like the South Plantation a lot better - that was my old school. | met a lot o friends here and everyone seems real nice.” Shannon Thames (11) said, ‘‘I like this schoo and it’s really different but it’s a nice different. made a lot of friends and even if I’m only going tc stay until the end of the school, I'll keep in touct with all my new friends.”’ Christinea Cedatol (10 commented, “‘l think it’s awesome.

No! The three German girls: Brid: gette, Gunde, and Imke. These girls have attended classes since January and blend in with the Southern crowd very nicely.

They started to think about their weekend of parties or spending time with that special someone. Most students liked Fridays to come so they could sleep in and they didn’t have to worry about sitting in a classroom all day watching the clock turn to 3:15 Shawn Vance (11) commented on Fridays when he said, ‘‘Fridays are great because we students get the heck out of jail. Fridays are the best part of the week.” Fridays were special because it was the day to go wild after being trapped in studies all week. This was the day that one could let their mind be limber and think simple things as where they were going to go? Who they were going to spend their time with? Bill Riggleman (11) said, “I think of partying all weekend and that’s why there’re no Mon- days for m e. | also think Fridays are great because we don't have school for two whole days.” Most students had the right to go out Friday nights because they studied throughout the week for those brain racking tests. Shayne Lambert (11) thought of Friday night partying when he replied, ‘‘I think of see- ing all my friends and getting together for some fun, until Monday.”’ Some students thought of fun just by gath- ering their friends up for some decent fun. Fridays were good for all students. And TEACHERS, TOO!! niors’ weekends aren't ruined by the snow. Planning their weekend of excitement are juniors Rob- bie Sines, Pat Hanline, and Mike Bittinger.

A few replies from our spirited kids included: Dionne Shahan (11) replied, “The assemblies are fun and they should have more of them for all of the sports, not just for the football team.” Dionne was a basketball player for the varsity team. The pep assemblies were very enjoyable to the kids. Lisa Friend (11) replied, ‘I think they are a lot of fun and we should have more.” Most people feel that way because it’s a differ- ent thing to do besides sitting in a classroom. Stephanie Pase (11) said, ‘‘They are fun to have and get the team ready to go out and win. They should have them more often.”’ Stephanie was a member of the Color Guard for two years. Most of the students liked the pep assembies because they were fun and exciting.

This student has the same idea as he waits for the school year to close. Free to do as one pleases Students counted the days until they could enjoy summer vacation. When school let out, students hit the beaches or went somewhere out of town like to Disney World or to Ocean City. Connie Rodeheaver (9) commented, ‘‘I enjoy summer vacation. It’s the best part of the year. | leave Garrett County and sometimes go to Balti- more or West Virgina.” Shannon Mahoney (9) said, ‘‘It’s the best part of having to go to school - you get a vacation. It’s also lots of fun.”’ But, when summer ended, students rushed back to school. Students all had different feelings about return- ing to school. Some felt happy because students missed being here. Some feel nervous, and some were just plain bored over the summer and need- ed something to do. Shawn Pillippi commeded, ‘| have no choice in what to do. | have to come back even if | don’t “It’s the best part of having to go torscnoola want to so why complain.

The fashions last year were just what people threw togather. Nothing seemed to really have to match. We had long jeans, ankle jeans, baggings and tight jeans. Students had all kinds of hair styles that went from short to long or stright to curly. Some students had indescribable hair. For shorts in the 80’s, students wore Jams. Back in the 60's, they were called Knee Knock- ers. These shorts are no shorter than mid-thigh. Fads have changed since the 60's. Mini skirts were worn instead of Poodle skirts. We also wear Sloppy socks instead of Bobbi socks. Yalanda Walking (11) commented, ‘‘Fashions of today are pretty because of the beautiful col- ors and styles of clothes and accessories. Everth- ing these days are now shorter then it was back near the 60’s.”’ PJ Damon (11) said, “I think the fashion of today is pretty great. | also think it’s neat how young people and adults mix and match their clothing, and still make their clothing looking good.” Tara Wildesen (10) commented, “‘l think fash- ions of today are so much better than in the 60’s or 70's. Bellbottom pants are the worst fashions ever invented. Well, the bottom line is fashion of today sure did change and for the better.” Most of the students that commented on the fashions think the fashions of today are a lot better than in the 60’s. No one had much to say about hair styles so we guess that is their last WoOITy. Kathy Stwart (11) said, “Fashions of today | like. They're more money but they’re a lot nicer then before and for my hair | like to fix it different ways. | get tried of it being the same way.” What has 30 curlers, 1 2 pound of eyeshadow, 3 4 pound of lipstick, and 2 1 2 tons of face powder?

People have enemies for many reasons. Usual- ly to have an enemy, you must do something to that person. Getting caught kissing someone else’s boyfriend or girlfriend would be a sure way. Perhaps one looks better than another. People sometimes hate for that reason. Carrie Duckworth (11) said, “If | caught my boyfriend kissing a girl, | would be upset with my boyfriend and | wouldn’t trust him anymore. | wouldn't be able to trust the girl | caught him kissing either. | wouldn’t hold a grudge because if he was the kind of guy to cheat on me and if she knew he was seeing someone, then they’d de- serve each other.” She seemed to be a very calm person while most would be ready to kill. Randy Marple (11) said, ‘I would turn to her and say, ‘I’m sorry it had to end this way,’ while I'd turn to the guy and punch him in the mouth; then | would just walk away.’ Being better than someone else could create an enemy. Most can’t face the fact that others are perhaps better. Disagreeing with one could also give you an enemy. Some people think they’re right about everthing and when someone disagrees, that Don’t fall asleep in class or the axeman might come and cut your head off. Here is one of Miss Cindy Ringler’s students paying the price for falling tool. asleep. sometimes makes a person mad. Some just settle it with a punch but others may just hold a grudge. Patty Collins (11) said, ‘‘Everyone has their own opinion and they don’t always have to agree with the other person, so | don’t mind if someone disagees with me for they have their own mind.”’ No one really seemed to mind if someone disa- greed with them. Linda Welch (11) said, “Well, if | was the per- son who was right, and | knew it, I’d tell the person | was angry. If they didn’t agree, then too bad.”’ To avoid enemies be more considerate of peo- ple’s feelings. Aeria Lumpkin (11) commented, “I’m considerate of people’s feelings because | know what it is like to be hurt and | hate to see people feel that way. | always try to find out if there is some way in which I can help them.”’ She went on to say, ‘There is just too much pain in this world and not enough people caring about those that get hurt.”’ Lori Whitacre (11) said, ‘I like being consider- ate to other people so they will be considerate to me. Everyone likes to be treated with love and respect.” The axeman is always watching you.

If it's not in the biology book, it’s not worth worrying about or going home, or even curing. Sometimes students get sick in school, but teachers are human too. Miss Jane Avery has her head all wrapped up as if she wasn’t feeling too well. A. way to get out Have you ever gone to school and all of a sudden you felt really bad? You felt as if you took another step, you'd fall over. You were afraid if you went to the office, your mom wouldn't be home and you'd have to spend the rest of the day in the biggest bore in school: the Office. Shawna Warnick (11) commented, “‘I’d go home because it’s bad enough to sit in school and when you're sick, it makes it that much worse.”’ Patty Collins (11) said, ‘‘Well, as soon as | feel sick, I’m right down there calling Karen to call me in an out-of-school pass.” Linda Welch (11) said, ‘I’d rather stay in school cause | have softball practice and | love to go to practice. | need to stay in school anyway so I'll pass. Sometimes, when I'm sick, | lay my head on my desk and if a teacher yells at me, | listen for a while, but in a few minutes, my head is back on the desk.” Melissa Livengood (11) said, ‘! usually stay in school cause | don’t want to fail but | guess if I’m feeling too bad, I'll go ahead and go home but not very often. If a teacher told me to get my head off the desk when | told them | was sick, I'm afraid | would have to tell them to suck an egg.” Tony Morris (10) said, ““When I'm sick, which I'm not that sick very often, but | think it would be best to go home, not for just me, but for all the kids that are in this school.” Mike Smith (9) said, ‘‘Well, heck yes, I’d go home! The worse part is | have to come back the next day.

When they did, how did you feel? ‘‘He always jokes around with us kids in the class and makes driving fun.”’ Sometimes teachers acted as if they could run a student's life. Some acted as if they had a string hooked on you and when they pulled it, you'd better go. Tara Wildesen (10) commented, “Teachers like Mr. (Doug) Buckley can really get on my nerves. He says I’m easy to pick on but | still don't like it. Sometimes | pick on him, too. All in all, Mr Buckley is a good teacher even though his teasing can get annoying at umes.

Most would realize students did plot at times of what they were going to dotoa particular teacher. “‘l realize there are times during current events when it seems the kids are working together by bringing up many topics so they don't have to work,” said Mr. Doug Buckley.

There was a reason for being in the halls, such as to deliver mes- sages or run errands. Most teachers found it important to have an aide. Some felt than one just wasn’t enough. Mr. Barry Shaffer stated, ‘‘I] have three aides and sometimes they can be a help and occassionally you feel like you're babystting.”’ Teachers felt that they had too many tests and papers to grade in one day. With- out an aide to lend a helping hand, it might have taken days to find out the grades. The aides were forever delivering mes- sages, taking phone calls, checking books in and out of the library, running errands, and much more. Guidance aide Missy Carr (12) stated, “Being a guidance aide is a lot of hard work. The experience is very helpful, but some - times it can be frustrating.” Being a guidance, main office, library, or teacher's aide, students had some free- deom to go to places on their own with a pass. They could stop off at the water fountain and stop to talk to a friend they met. Main office secretary Mrs. Betty Liller stated, “It is hard to work without the help of the office aides because there is so much office work to do. It also gives the aides plenty of experience in the secretarial field.” Discussing with his aide Bo Butler (12) how his plan book is set up is Mr. Ed Wildesen.

Mr. Leroy Bolding said, ‘‘I learned various responsibilities pertaining to the working world.

Mrs. Joan Lambert worked as a clerk in a drug store. As one can tell, these jobs were no different than the jobs today. Though these jobs were the same as today’s, the wages dc differ. For instance, Mrs. Lambert made $.50 an hour and Mr Doug Oxford made $2.12 an hour. Some teachers made even higher wages than most of the wages today. Mrs. Jeri Swartzentruber stated, “‘I exercisec thoroughbreds at a racing stable each morning at 5:00 am. made $6.00 per horse and approximately $18.00 an hour.’ When asked whether or not they liked their job, the major ity said “‘yes”’ but Mr. Oxford said ‘‘no’’.

Have you ever thought of what it would be like to be a substitute teacher and have students nagging you to death? You probably haven't given it much thought.

So what other choice was there but to yell. always. asking for no work but it is necessary to keep the learning process going.” There were also quiet classes that substitutes loved to teach and there were classes that all the students were friendly to the substi- tutes. They tried to keep a conversation going, sometimes during the whole class period.

Stu- dents were required to write papers, participate in classroom discussion, and do homework. Many of these classes involved other activities, such as lab experiments. In biology and anatomy, students dissected many different kinds of dead animals. In chemistry class, students performed many tests with different compounds and elements. Several classes also took field trips as part of their class- room activities. Many of the Civics classes traveled to An- napolis to see our state government in action. The Art history _ Classes also traveled to see Falling Waters, a house near Uniontown, PA, that Frank Lloyd Wright built. In April many of the Art History students went to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Not every class was involved in these kinds of activities. The drama class spent most of their time acting and perform- ing for each other and other classes. Auto mechanics stu- dents spent their time working on the cars of fellow students and teachers. Business students spent their time learning to type, and learning the fundamentals needed to make an of- fice run smoothly. Journalism students spent their time try- ing to get the two school publications, the Acorn newspaper, and the Highlander yearbook, out to the printers by their deadlines . These were just a few of the things that went on during a typical school day at Southern. When it came to academics, Southern students were right on line. Working with computers is just one of the skills many students at Southern learn in their classes. Junior Mike Lewis practices using one of the computer programs. When in doubt CHEAT Oh-No! The big test is tommorow and | don’t have time to study. This was a problem faced by many throughout the year. When it came to test time, many students were unprepared and were look- ing for an easy way out. This easy way out consisted of cheating. Although cheating wasn’t right, students had become accus- tomed to letting their eyes wander on their neighbor’s paper. “'l think cheating is neat. It has got me through years of school already and hopefully will get me through more,”’ stated junior PJ Damon. The easiest way is to look on your neighbor’s paper, but many students felt they needed to be creative. Making cheat sheets was a popular way to make answers visible during the test. Students seemed to be able to put so many answers onto the tiniest piece of paper. One other popular cheating method was to write the answers on your shoes, or any other part of your body. Although students knew that cheating was going on, did the teachers? ‘‘Cheating probably occurs more than teachers realize,” stated Mr. Barry Shaffer. Will this cheating ever end? It was doubtful. When the test popped up and there was no time to study, many went back to When in doubt....Cheat! Good cheaters became well known for their skill. Seniors Cheri Bosley and Jeff King were known for their ability to cheat as they were voted Best Cheaters of the senior class. One way students found to cheat was by placing the answers on the bottom of their shoes. This way seems to be a favorite to junior Susan Ward. How many answers can you fit on a cheat sheet?

These are just a few reasons why students argued when they were faced with such a situation. Although some students enjoyed giving speeches, most stu- dents did not. ‘I think that thay are dumb because it takes up time and they are boring,”’ stated Shelby Reall, a ninth grader. Students felt pressured and were unable to be themselves when they were forced in front of their peers. Willie Lucas, a tenth grader, felt, ‘Oral reports are OK. | think they are a little embarrassing, but if your information is good, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.” Why were students made to do speeches? ‘‘Speeches are good for students,”’ stated English teacher Mr. Barry Shaffer. Whether they were or whether they weren’t was all in the stu- dents’ opinion. Although speeches were not looked forward to by many stu- dents, they became more and more popular in the classrooms. “Y28 Speeches oe Preparing herself for Senior Teacher Day is Mary Beth Johnson.

Bonnie Lohr and Lori Friend seem to be enjoying their bus trip. Field trips Why bother? Field trips: why take them? Why leave the comfortable suround- ings of the school to sit on a bus (often uncomfortable school buses) for many hours just to get to the destination and then be expected to be wide awake to let this new experience sink in? Most field trips involved leaving earlier than usual and returning late into the evening. Money was another factor. Most field trips cost the students money, ranging from a free trip to the Court House to going to Annapolis, with a cost of $20.00+, to skiers going to Vermont with a cost of several hundred dollars. Most teachers agreed that organizing a field trip could involve more work compared to just staying at school. So, why go ona trip if it involved all of this extra work on a teacher's part and extra time for the students? Students usually agreed they would endure the above because it was different. Skiers agreed skiing in Vermont was a different thrill than just going to the Wisp each time. One teacher, who organized the Annapolis trip for Civics classes, said, ‘‘A field trip can be an extension of the classroom. Students can see first hand what we talk about in the classroom. Instead of just telling then how the Maryland Senate and House of Delegates works, they can see for themselves how a legislature works in a republic.” rg 7 3t me 3% Oe meee en nn aes ae : se: = as ea ae a ,aan2a ccccamaimad, Pig X 4 +f . yee: eaten new Field trips didn’t just involve Southern’s — One of the most exciting FFA field trips students going on an activty.

Jim Collins (12) is shown using a shovel to mix his mud. 132°Tools Lightening the load Tools help make work a little easier If one were to stop and think about the number of tools he used in one day, he would probably be surprised. The world, especially that of school, is filled with various instruments that made work easier. One of the most obvious places to find tools was in the carpentry department of the school. It was filled with hammers, pliers, and saws that aided students in building things such as houses. There were many other vocational classes, such as stone mason- ry, metal shop, and auto mechanics, that also depended heavily upon the use of tools. Wrenches were used to tighten nuts and bolts. Trowels were used to spread cement between layers of brick and stone. Heavy drills were used to punch holes in sheet metal. It was very obvious in these classes that tools were used. There were some classes, however, where tool use was not as obvious. For example, not many people think of needing tools for yearbook or newspaper. There were many tools needed to finish the produc- tion of the publications. Rulers, computers, croppers and picture developers were used every day by the journalism students. In home economics, a varying assortment of tools were used. Students cooked different foods in pots and pans on the stoves. They also learned to make articles of clothing on sewing machines. They used irons and ironing boards to rid the cloth of wrinkles. They used needles and thread and pins to alter and hem pieces of clothing. Business students worked with calculators and typewriters. Some used xerox and ditto machines. Many also gained experience using computers. Office aids worked with the telephones, as well as the typewriters and copiers. In the science classes, students used many different tools, such as Bunsen burners and igniters. Biology students used scalpels and tweezers in their disecting projects, while chemistry students used beakers and funnels. Although each student, during the course of a school day, came across many different tools, all used three tools that everyone had: their hands, mouths, and minds. eS coe 2 COS Who could fix an automobile without tools? Shown are four seniors who be- came very experienced in this field: Jeff Lewis, John Friend, Bruce Cassidy, and Brian Davis. Paper and telephones were important tools to the Guidance Department. While secretary Ms. Rose Ann Riley talks on the phone, she also hands a note for Missy Carr (12) to deliver to a student. A microscope became an instrument bi- ology and chemistry students couldn't do without. Toolsetad i abe C7 Looking like she has been up to no good is freshman Heather Hesson. Following behind her is freshman Angie Kildow. Finding someone that you know in the halls was easy because most people knew everyone. Here is An- gie Bittinger (10) looking for some- one in particular an apparently not finding him in Scott Lohr (9). 134 Between Classes ‘ ¥ « Gy a's � - 4% = bee Between classes Goofing off Walking with your boy girl friend, walking with a friend or talk- ing to friends - that was what people did between classes. Some people went to the restroom, some just went straight to class and sat down at their desk like a good student should. Angie Kildow (9) said, ‘‘I talk to friends and hang around.”’ But, what did hang around mean? No one knew for sure. Most of the time, you saw people holding hands or arms around each other or some people talked to others. Some teachers even took a break and stood at their door and made sure that everyone was being good students and that no one was doing something that they shouldn't. Students just seemed to hang out in the hallway to talk to teachers, friends, or boy girl friend. Freshman Ashlie Haas stated, “| just goof off with my friends.” Some students found things to get themselves in trouble by going to the restroom and writing on the walls or maybe hiding ina corner with a boy or a girl and did things that they should not be doing in school. Perhaps if a teacher went out of the room, doing something like putting chalk in the erasers or maybe even being noisey or looking in the grade book. Some people could be a good student and just not have as much fun as most people seemed to have at school between classes. The photographers for the yearbook staff also enjoyed roaming the halls between classes. It looks like the photographer surprised freshmen Shelby Reall and Peggy Evans. Walking the halls with your girl friend or boyfriend is a common sight between classes. Here are Shawn Eyler (11) and Tonya Shreve (10) enjoying themselves between classes. Finding something very amusing in the halls was not very hard. Junior Mindy Wilt seems to find something very humorous. Between Classes 135 A good place to find Intelligent women What had 16,000 books, eight computers and two women be: hind a counter? The school library had all these and many other items such as kids taking tests and library helpers. One hundred-seventeen people, on average, used the library every day. People found out information at the library for book reports, projects and some people just used the library for getting a book to read. The library seemed to be a social place for students, too. Most of the time, students could be found talking there. Students also used Ruth Enlow Library for some help and to socialize. Dictionaries and encyclopedias seemed to be a big help to many students because they had most of the information they needed in them. Scott Sutton (11) said, ‘The library is a very good place to meet intelligent women.” School life, at one time or another, was centered around the library. ent} Ree oot SSS NRT Working intelligently in the silence | Many people can be found in the of the library is freshman Brenda library reading the great variety of Harvey.

Stratton. Teachers often used the library for students to take make-up tests. Being late for a group photograph of the faculty was Mrs. Jeri Swartzen- truber. Mrs. Swartzentruber would probably prefer being home riding one of their many horses. The library was also used as a meet- ing place. Members of the Middle States Evaluation committee inter- viewed students concerning their thoughts about Southern.

You might have even seen a hand shooting a rubber band. You used your hands for many things such as flipping through papers or pages. Drawings, coloring, and writing letters were used by the hands. If you didn’t have hands, it would have been very difficult to do many things. Sometimes it might be interesting not to have hands because then you wouldn't have to wash dishes, clean your room, do house work, or mow the lawn -all that boring stuff that parents make you do. It was probably best though to have hands because then you wouldn't have people doing things for you all the time. Your hands were very handy things. They fixed cars and appli- ances, cleaned and wrote, and worked machines. Hands were also used for manners. When you burped, you usual- ly covered your mouth. When you wanted to answer or ask some- thing, you raised your hand. Thank goodness for hands. They helped us a lot.

We took for granted that GAA would sponsor football home- coming, that there would be a student council, that the year- book would once again be published. The clubs provided the students with many valuable ser- vices and opportunities. There were clubs for everyone, from the journalism student to the music student to the agricul- ture student. These clubs provided opportunities not only for people outside the club, but also for the members of the club as well. They showed students how to take charge and be leaders. They explained to them how to organize, set up and run a fund raiser or other public event. The organizations of the school helped to tow the line when it came to the reputation of the school with the commu- nity. The band provided a large part of the entertainment for the Autumn Glory festival, in the form of the annual Tournament of Bands. FFA provided the community with fruit and flowers at Christmas time. : VICA represented our town each year in the state VICA competition, with many of the students going on to the Na- tional finals. No matter how you look at it, the clubs and organizations helped students to tow the line with their classmates, the school, and the world around them.

The band did just that. They ate there bacause it gave them more time to practice and get dressed. Becky DeBerry (10) stat- ed, ‘‘They have faster ser- vice than most other places.”’ Leslie Liller (10) said, ‘‘McDonald’s is cheaper and we don’t have to rush to eat.” The band members left early Saturday mornings for band trips and usually came back early Sunday morning around 3:00 am. They didn’t get to cruise Heck’s on Saturday nights or go to the movies like those students who aren't in band got to do. Tracie Ellis (10) stated, ‘‘l would rather go on band trips because they are fun but | would like to sleep in on Saturday mornings.” If the band got to competi- tions early, they would prac- tice for around one or two hours, then go eat, next would come the competing. The band would wait for awards, then go eat supper, and start their journey home. The awards that were won at competitions included Best Band Front, High Marching and High General Effect. The colorguard also placed high in six shows and finished no less than third for the entire season. The brass line is a very important part in the field show. Shown is Robbie Johnson (11) playing his trumpet. This part of the bleachers is usually full of band members and other stu- dents showing their spirit at games. During half time Andy Pope (12) shows off his talent on the timpani. During the field show, the drum line sets the rhythm for the rest of the game. Band«143 144 Stage Band Playing alto saxaphones are Rhonda Shaffer (10), Patti Parker (10), and Chrissa Kisner (12). They have had eight years of experience with the band. Half-time is excitin Half-time at most schools during basket- ball games was really boring, but at South- ern, basketball half-time was exciting. The Stageband played at every home game during the beginning and half-time. The band always went to the games about an half-an-hour early in order to set up their equipment, warm up and get ready to play. Before the games started, the band played The Star Spangled Banner. Also, at the beginning of the Varsity game, the band played Super Star while the Varsity team came out on to the court. Zack Gibson (11) said, ‘‘I think that it’s nice because it gets the crowd and team excitedsa The stageband members have an opinion Directing the stageband is Mr. Rich- ard Clever. He has been at Southern for twenty-two years. of playing at basketball games too. ‘‘The Stageband is different from the Concert and Marching Band. We play more recent songs and some jazz selections also,’ said Traci Ellis (10). She went on to say, ‘Basketball season was fun but we're not through yet. ‘We have to prepare ourselves for com- petition in Myrtle Beach. It’s hard work if you're a beginner but a lot of fun,” she concluded. ‘The basketball show that we did was lots of fun. | think the people really enjoyed us playing for them,” said Andy Carola (10). Southern’s basketball games will always have a special rhythm to them. thanks to Mr. Richard Clever and his stageband. Playing her bass guitar during a home game is Karen Rosenberry (11).

Rhonda Shaffer (10) said, ‘‘The Spring Trip was fun and | enjoyed it.” The bands were invited to attend Magic Attic, which was a dance with a live band. The Pavilion, a large amuse- ment park, and the Magic Attic combined a tremendous amount of fun for the band.

Did this sound like Student Council? It did when it came to the second annual Stu- dent Council sponsored bloodmobile drive. The bloodmobile was successful with 84 pints of blood. Mike Vance (11), a first time donor, said, ‘‘It hurt like heck and it was sore for awhile but | would do it again.”’ Student Council also sponsored an ex: change with Northern’s Student Council. Senior Bernadette Fousek said, “‘It was a lot of fun. | got to meet many students and see what they thought of the renovation.

They also had homeroom re- presentives who told their homeroom what went on at every meeting and what was being asked and the answers to many ques- tions. Melanie Tasker (10) said, ‘‘I enjoy being in Student Council because | like to do what | can for the school. Without Student Coun- cil, our school might not have some things that it has.”’ Bloodmobile, Homecoming Represen- tives, Basketball Homecoming and Student Council exchange kept the Student Council group busy most of the year. rE eas Wie toon 5 Nats Tae ek a AN Cline.

Seniors of Student Council included Bobby Bernard, Bernadette Fousek, Lara Carlson, Lori McCain, Karin Burns, and Cheryl! Wilt. A luncheon involving the Board of Education was held by Student Council. Junior Courtney Smith, a three year veteran, talks to Mr. Ar- thur Refosco, principal, and Ms. Be- verly Sines Murphy of the Board of Education. Senior Bernadette Fousek drinks juice to give her a boost of energy. Perhaps seniors gave blood just for the juice, donuts, and to get out of class for two periods. Student Council 149 Wooden time VICA certainly had much to be proud about. One of the things they had to be proud of was the clock they made. The clock was worked on for about a month by many students. What made this clock so special was that it was constucted from just about all wooden parts. The clock had three slide projectors on the bottom and as the second hand moved, different pictures were shown of what VICA was all about. The clock was designed and constructed entirely by students. Students working on the clock were Eric Savage, Kevin Gnegy, Scott Pipper, Kenny Rinker, Pam Sines, Willy Williams, Mike Welch, Mike Hornyak, Ben Humberson, Bill Schrock, and Ed Thayer. Senior Ed Thayer said, “‘I think that this is a great opportunity, and we'll make nationals.” “| think all of these people deserve a hand, because they all put in a lot of effort to make this clock, and it certainly wasn’t easy,” said Joell Simmons (10). For the past two years, the club has won the display contest for the state and they certainly hoped to win again. VICA was an organization open to any member of a trades and industry class. This organization worked hand in hand with the curriculum of each class and promoted leadership and general job skills to each participant. The club offered members the opportunity to work toward lead- ership and job related awards through their work in the classroom and participation in the annual skills olympics. The highlight of the year was the Annual Skills Olympics where students were able to compete against other students in job related and leadership contests.One student expressed his feelings about this and said, “It’s a great opportunity to work with people and to win at States.”’ Mock Trial also had much to be proud about as well as VICA. Mock Trial won three out of five trials beating Williamsport and Fort Hill. Mock Trial competition was proven to be a successful method for educating students about the legal process. Last year, 19 of the 24 public school systems in Maryland participated, fielding over 80 teams across the state. The purpose for Mock Trial was to futher the understanding of and the appreciation for the law, court, and the legal systems. The Mock Trial team was made up of eight members and their advisor, Mr. Louis Newcomb.

Quill and Scroll was an international honor society for high school journalists. To become a member, a student had to be a junior or senior, in the upper1 3 of their class, be on newspaper or yearbook, and be recom: mended by their advisor. Members were initiated into Quill and Scroll on Thursday, April 21, 1988. They held the initiation luncheon at Cornish Manor Restaurant. ‘| thought the luncheon was a lot nicer than the one at Pizza Hut last year’, said Shelli Terrlizzi (12). She also added, ‘‘I liked it be- cause it was out of school, it made you feel more important.” Art Honor was an organization that required a student to be in grades 10-12. A student had to maintain a B average in art. 152. Honor Societies The Art Honors program was started two years ago and was made up of six members. The Art Honor Society, as well as other art students, sponsored the Art Explosion. This was an art exhibit representing the variety of work done in the art classes. It was held Fri- day, May 20, during school and Friday evening from 7:00-9:00 P.M. It was also held Saturday, May 21, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. The main highlight of the exhibit was indi- vidual booths set up by advanced art students which showcased their work. ‘Being the second year for the Art Honor- ary, we have more experience and more enthu- siam this year. We hope to open a new door to the art world with our second Art Explosion,” said Michelle Proudfoot (11). Advisers for these societies were Mrs. So- nya Pratt for Art Honors and Mr. Doug Buck- ley for Quill and Scroll. a eh New Q S member Brenden Up- dyke (11) lights his candle to sig- nify his acceptance into Q S.

This was the comment of- fered by many students dur- ing the National Honor Soci- ety’s Turkey Legs Contest. The society photographed the legs of all consenting male teachers and then post- ed them in the cafeteria and the main lobby. Students were asked to vote for the legs that most resembled tur- key legs. The votes took the form of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars . Mr. Doug Oxford was vot- ed as having the best Turkey Legs. For this, he received a frozen turkey. 154 National Honor Society The Honor Society made over $25.00 on the project. ‘| was really pleased with the success of the Turkey Legs Contest,’’ said senior president, Shelli Terlizzi. “Hopefully it will become a tradition for the Society to hold each year,” she added. Other activities, such as the initiation ceremony of new members in front of stu- dent body and the Senior Teacher Day, have become traditions and were once again sponsored by the Na- tional Honor Society. The initiation ceremony was held in the cafeteria. The juniors and senior classes as- sembled to watch as the old members performed a court- room skit. The new mem- bers were on trial for having the qualities of an Honor So- ciety member. All new members were found to be guilty. Their pun- ishment was to be inducted into the society. This pro- gram was followed by a so- cial and refreshments for the old and new members and their parents.

Two freshmen members, Angie Tea- garden and Missy Davis, enjoy the atmosphere of the Homecoming. They helped decorate for the Home: coming earlier the same morning. ‘““‘We had to wear a sweatsuit with our pants up to our knees, a trash bag over our sweatsuit, bedroom slippers or high heels, and we were not allowed to do our hair and put on any make-up for initiation,’’ stated Rhonda Calhoun (12). In order to be a part of GAA any new member had to go through initiation. Another senior, Cheryl Wilt, stated, ‘‘I really enjoyed being a part of GAA. It was great, especially helping with homecoming decorations. Initiation was quite embarassing but it was fun to do.” GAA was not in progress last year but made a come back. Last year GAA could not find a sponsor but Miss Robin Spiker volunteered her time and dedication to bring back GAA. GAA worked hard to put together football homecoming. Stacey Beckman (10) stated, ‘‘It was especially fun helping with homecoming.”’ They were in charge of all the decorations and the music. In order to pay for all of this they had fundraisers. They had a bake sale, coat check-ins at games, and half-court shots during basketball season. Although there were not a lot of meetings, the jobs got done. Robbin Damon (12) said, ‘GAA was a lot of fun. The group always got along well together, which helped to get things done.” At a GAA meeting, Missy Davis (9) prepares to takes down information. Meanwhile, Jeanine Shank (9) and Elonda Foglepole (12) discuss mat: ters with other members.

At their ice cream socials, they met the families of the other members and also showed videos on FFA. At their banquets, the students gave awards recognizing the students who had done the most for the organization. The members tried to change the image of FFA. In fact very few of the members are intend- ing to be farmers. The organization had special members, such as secretary Kim Marley (10). She said, “I enjoy the class because it’s some- thing new and different. | learn a lot be- cause Mr. Steve Kisner makes learning fun.’’ By being secretary, Kim said, “‘l try to improve our image by doing whatever I can. | volunteer when needed, and try to keep our files up to date.” Junior Becky Sanders said, ‘As presi- dent of the FFA organization, I preside over meetings, help to encourage participation, 158 Future Farmers of Ameri ca and enrollment in vocational agriculture.” She also said, ‘'l really enjoy being in FFA because it offers so much.”’ Randy Marple (11) was the vice presi- dent. Mike Kimble was the Sentinel who made sure the meeting rooms were ready and attended the door and welcomed visi- tors as they entered the meetings Sam Wright, a freshman, said, ‘‘FFA is very interesting and fun. You learn a lot in FFA class. It is a great way to learn about the future of agriculture. FFA meetings teach students how to run a meeting prop- erly.) Rodney Rounds (9) also commented, “FFA is a great way to learn about agricul- ture, and agriculture jobs. The class is inter- esting and fun to be in.” “FFA is fun because you get to go to judging contests and you get to meet all kinds of new people. Although the class- work gets boring, it’s really a fun class,’’ said David Tracy (9).

There were thirteen new members. One member, Terry Hersh- berger (11), stated, ‘I never thought about taking yearbook. | thought it would be a boring and hard class, but now | know different.” Terry went on to say, “‘I got in this class by having a schedule change and Mrs. (Cindy) Downton suggested taking yearbook so | said ‘OK’. It turned out to be one of the best and easiest classes | have had since I’ve been at Southern and I’m taking it next year.” Only four members were on the staff before. They were Laura Buckley, Tab Sliger, Shelli Terlizzi, and Brenden Updyke. Brenden stated, ‘‘The second year on the yearbook staff was a lot easier and a lot more fun than the first. At times the work is hard, but it always pays off.”’ The Highlander Yearbook also went to a new company going from Jostens Printing Company to the Herff Jones Yearbook Com- pany. Advisor Mr. Doug Buckley explained, ‘The yearbook is going to have a new look by using a size 9 instead of the smaller size 7 book. Also, with a new type of cover, I think the kids will be pleased with our new look. I've been wanting to go to the larger size book for years but we were never ready.”’ The staff was invited to the West Virginia Scholastic Press Asso- ciation workshop held at Fairmont State College in Fairmont, West Virginia. Two senior Highlander members, Editor Shelli Terlizzi and Rhonda Calhoun, Advisor Mr. Buckley, and two members of the Acorn, Editor Chris Snyder (12) and Mike Vance (11), represented the Southern Journalism Department. Rhonda Calhoun stated, ‘‘The workshop helped me out a lot and | came up with a lot of creative ideas. It was really fun. We got to see the top rated yearbooks and meet other journalism students.’ Highlander Yearbook 161 One last time together Seniors travel to Pittsburgh for a day of fun What could be more fun than spending a day in Pittsburgh, taking in all the great sights of the city? Perhaps only one thing could make that more interesting: spending it with the members of your class. This is what the seniors did on Thursday, May 26. The buses left Southern at 9:00 in the morning. Their destina- tion: Kennywood Park, roller coaster capital of the world. Seniors spent over four hours in the park, riding the many different rides, watching shows, playing games, and eating cotton candy, ice cream and other good foods. For many, the best part of Kennywood was the roller coasters, but others didn’t find them to be enjoyable. Rhonda Calhoun said, ‘| went on the Thunderbolt roller coaster with Shelli Terlizzi, and she was terrified. Every time I looked over at her, her eyes were squeezed shut as tightly as she could make them. She was the only one | knew who was really relieved to get off of it!” After leaving Kennywood, the seniors then made the treacher- ous journey to the top of Mount Washington where they boarded the Incline for the ride to Station Square. The line waiting to get on the Incline was very long because of the seniors. ‘“The people who rode the Incline regularly looked very shocked to see so many people waiting to board it, ‘‘said Patricia Heatherman. ‘‘l think they were wondering why anyone would make a special trip just to go on a ride that seemed to last only about two minutes.” Once in Station Square, the seniors boarded the Party Liner of the Gateway Clipper fleet. Their cruise took them on all three rivers that surround the city of Pittsburgh: the Mon, the Allegheny, and the Ohio. This gave them the opportunity to view Pittsburgh from three different perspectives. While on the ship, the seniors got to eat dinner. They were served a buffet consisting of ham, chicken, rice, and many other delicious foods. After dinner, the students went to the lower level of the party liner for dancing. The band played many good dance songs, many of them originally performed by Kool and The Gang. They also played songs by Huey Lewis and Orange Juice Jones. Around 1:00 am, the seniors returned to Oakland, weary, but filled with memories of their friends and the fun they had in Pitts- burgh. Shelli Terlizzi commented, “I thought the Senior Trip was a blast. My friends and | have been so busy lately that we haven’t had any time to spend together. This trip gave us the opportunity to do not only that, but to also get to Know some people in our class that we didn’t really know before.”’ A beautiful view of the sky line of Pitts- burgh is seen from the upper deck of he party liner. Many seniors gathered here while on the ship to talk with their friends. look at the shoreline, and take pictures Ready and raring to go, a small group of seniors conaregate inside the entrance ‘o Kennywood.

Grumbles were usual. Research was sometimes done. Writing took place. Typing was done. The many mistakes were corrected, hopefully. Pictures were taken and printed. Captions for the pictures were needed. Deadline was yesterday. Yelled at again. Sometimes there was fun. Then it was done nine more times. The Acorn Newspaper Staff grew to fourteen mem- bers from last year’s ten. ‘'It may be only four people, but they do make a big differ- ence, said Mr. Doug Buck- Just remembering she has work to do is Stacey Haines (12), but how could she forget with Mr. Doug Buckley's constant nagging? ley, adviser. The Republican newspa- per printed the Acorn be: cause it was cheaper than the Value Guide. Last year’s new equipment helped the Acorn staff to speed up its production of the newspa- per. “It is the same old crap: write stories, sell ads to area businesses to help pay for the Acorn, do layouts, sports scores, and features,” said Scott Weeks (11). Since Scott complained so much, he was demoted to a new job on the staff. Scott then took and printed all the pictures for Acorn, which kept him very busy. “Working on the Acorn staff is a lot of hard work and can get tedious just like any- thing else’, said Senior Mar- jie Martin. However, “‘it is also rewarding to see some thing you have written and created out in print in the newspaper.’ Acorn had many birthday parties. They even had a birthday cake and a chorus of Happy Birthday for Mike Vance (11). Getting stories was a hard job when the staff had to beg people for them. Sometimes they also found it hard to get sports scores. The very last minute was always the time to get things done. Darren Lambert (11) got yelled at the most for get- ting done in the last few sec- onds, not minutes. A newcommer on the Acorn staff is Robin Rohrbaugh (11). Robin checks over an article she wrote for the Acorn. Busy typing in a article on the Apple computer is Vanessa Stacy (11). Typing is just one of the many skills needed to be on the Acorn staff. Using a pica ruler is Patricia Collins (11).

So, what did you wear? Amy Zimmerman (10) said about Monday mornings, ‘“‘On Mondays | usually wear slob-clothes because it takes a while to get back in the swing of things after the weekend.” You began to sort through your dresser and stared at your closet try- ing to mix and match an outfit. You began to panic. Finally...in the distant corner of your closet you found a sweater and jeans your mother had bought you for Chistmas. You felt a rush of relief. You started to put on the sweater - so far so good. Then the jeans - but they didn’t fit! What did you do then? You began to think, ‘Should I resort to the dirty pair? No way!” By this time, you room was a mess. You felt like you could die and your mother was telling you to hurry up. You could always tell your mom you were sick. But then you remem- bered you had to go to school today because it was the last chance for your new lab parter to ask you to the Homecoming dance. On the other hand, you could wear your pajamas and be totally humiliat- ed. You began to sort through the clothes on your bed. You finally found a miniskirt you hadn't worn in a long time. But it was snowing out. But you decided you would rather freeze than wear some: thing ugly. When you finally got to school, you received comments on how great you looked. You began to feel a lot better. What really made your day was when your lab partner finally asked you to Homecoming! That evening, when you got home, you went to your room. You looked at the mess on your bed and wondered how such a horrible morning could turn out so great.

Or how many times have you entered the yearbook newspaper computer room to see their walls? Mr. Doug Buckley gives all of the cred- it for the journalism walls to several ar- tistic yearbook and newspaper students from years gone by who creatively deco- rated the walls. Mr. Buckley said, ‘Very few people see our walls and if the school is renovat- ed next year, the walls will go anyway.” One student, Billie Jo Schrock (11), said, “| read the walls to see what the latest gossip is and who the newest cou- ples are.” Brigette O'Neill (10) also remarked, “‘ read the bathroom walls because you just can’t miss it.” Getting caught in the very act of defacing the walls are juniors Mindy Wilt and Robin Rohrbaugh. Teachers often find it amazing how students can’t spell too well on a paper they turn in but do seem to be able to write on the bathroom walls with a great deal of accuracy.

Did you ever call your friend on the phone and get shocked when you heard their mother call them by a name you never heard them called before? Did it make you laugh? Or, if your mom or dad called you by your original name, did you feel yourself turn red? Most likely you took them aside and told them not to call you that name in public again! Nicknames were given for many dif- ferent reasons. For some people, their real name didn’t sound right to them. So, names such as Franklin, Rachele, Ran- dolph, Lucinda, William, Rebecca, Victo- ria, and Robert got changed to Andy, Shelli, Randy, Lucy, Bill, Becky, Vicky, and Bob. How about nicknames that have noth- ing in common with the person like Care Bear, Smurf, Big Bird, Bambi, Pickle, Slim, Nikki, or Tiff? They weren’t real names for people, but were just what some friends called each other for differ- ent reasons. Cheryl Wilt (12) said, ‘I’m not really sure how | got the nickname Nikki. | guess it’s because | have always loved that name and wanted to be named Nikki.” Sometimes the name came from no where and it was never understood. Gary Bosley, Jr? Who's that? Never heard of him! However, we've all heard of JR Bosley. JR seems occupied with his paper in the above photo. Nick- names posed problems for the yearbook.

Or, was it just gifts friends gave each other? Could it be over just as fast as it would be for a rattlesnake to strike? Was it as deadly as a scorpion’s sting? What happened to saying friends were forever? It seemed to have vanished from the American society. Friendship meant many things. It meant not allowing your friends light up a ciga- rette or drink alcohol. You shouldn’t want to see your friends hurt themselves. You should have felt ashamed to let your friends drink just because they thought it was cool. People measured friendship too much by the way a person looked, their religion, the clothes they wore, and their moral values. Terry Hershberger (11) said, ‘‘l judge friendship by trust and personality. | like people to judge me for what I am and noth- ing else, but what | am.” It seemed that so-called friends really didn’t care about each other. If they did, they would have spoke up when their friend started to do something they would later regret. 178 Advertisements MADIGAN’S im ACh Ra @. SALES Box 3127 Deer Park, MD Call Mace or Mike Bus.

It seemed many teachers and students couldn't get along with each other. Many students thought it wasn’t easy be- inga kidand there was no one trying to help them. If a student was nice to a teacher, they were then called a teacher’s pet. Peer pres- sure was a big factor in the way students treated teachers. Some students may not have liked a cer- tain teacher. If a student was then nice to that teacher, the other students would make fun of the one that liked the teacher. Junior Yolanda Walkling stated, “I’ve heard kids called teacher’s pet and other stupid things like brown-noser and bottom: kisser just because the teacher asked them to do something for them or they just asked the teacher if they could do something for the teacher.”’ Perhaps teachers should be more aware of this problem when asking the same stu- dent to do them a favor. Teachers - ask other students as well so some don't get labled as a teacher's pet. If talking to a teacher makes a student a teacher's pet, then many students are guilty of it. Mr. David Bender takes time at the prom to point out an idea to former Southern student Richard Ridder.

A school year in Garrett County, Mary- land’s ice box, without one snow day! The word went out - had it ever hap- pened before? Southern’s newspaper, the Acorn, went to work to find answers to the above question. The Board of Education was contacted. None of their records in- dicated such a year. The staff then went to memories. All teachers and administrators at Southern were contacted to see if any of them could shed any light on this question - none could. Several retired teachers and adminis- trators from Southern were then con- tacted with the same response - none could remember such a year. Records and memories were re- searched and a conclusion was finally reached. There never was a year, within the last forty years, when there had been a year without at least one snow day. Because of this, the underclass stu- dents had their last day on Friday, June 3. Graduation was on Sunday, June 5. This was also a first because no one could remember underclasss students getting out of school before seniors graduated. Board of Education records indicated qu ite a different story in years past. In the school year 1960-1961 the Board ap- proved having school on Saturdays as a way of making up school so not to ex: tend into June too much. School was held on several Saturdays that year. Interesting data on the end of school years in the past included: June 13 - 1960, 1973, 1975, 1980 June 15 - 1984 June 16 - 1972, 1978 June 17 - 1977 June 18 - 1970 June 20 - 1979 It also had to be taken into account that Board of Education figures are in- complete. For example, the actual date of closing for these years is not avail- able: 1961, 1965, 1974, 1976.

Senior Angelo Oliverio ap- pears to feel a bit light headed as Mrs. Mary Lynn Loomis prepares to stick his finger at the Annual Blood Mobile sponsored by the Student Council. ‘Everyone can use a helping hand sometime. Sophomores Debbie _Blamble and Darlene Sliger stretch _ out before track practice. 196 Closing Closing Towing the line As the year wound down to a close once again, we could all look back over the year and see all of the achievements we made. All of us, in some way, achieved something, whether it was getting a B in English, or going to the National VICA competition. All of us had something to show for a whole _ year of hard work and effort. Along with our own personal achievements, we could also see the achievements of the school as a whole. SHS thrived this year, both academically and athletically. There were also some achievements made at Southern that we were not so proud of. No snow days was something that the seniors found to be very upsetting. For the first year in the history of the Garrett County school system, there were absolutely no snow days. This put the last day of school for the seniors closer to that of the underclassmen than ever before. Even with this disappointment, though, the seniors took it in stride and finished up their last year of public education on May 31. The rest of the school finished on June S All of the good things that happened at Southern could never have happened without the backing and support of the students, faculty and community. Everyone did their part to help tow the line to get Southern through yet another year. As National Honor Society president Shelli Terlizzi (12) passes out yellow roses to all new members, vice president Becky Helbig (12) distrib- utes membership cards. This was part of the initiation assembly. Closing 197 Ajl viewpoints are considered when -evaluating the qualifications of a school, even those of the students. Mr. Cipriani, the chairperson of the Middle States Evaluation Commit tee, meets with some students to get their opinions of the school. Discussing the decorations at the Prom are seniors Gary Long, Lara Carlson, and Tammy Friend. Prom was held once again at the Wisp. 198°Closing Closing The end of the line It’s the day we've all lived for since the first day of school: the last day of school. Books will be put away and homework becomes a thing of the past. Next year will bring some postive results and changes at Southern due to the Middle States evalutions. The evalua- tions put the whole school on the line. Some students, however, won't be here to see these changes. There won't be a next year, at least not at Southern. This is it - the end of the line. Many will drop out of school or quit for personal reasons. Others will go on to further their education at college or toa training school. Still others will go directly from Southern into the Armed Services, or to an awaiting job. A few will go back to their home countries to continue their lives there. All of us will take from Southern many good and bad memories. We'll remember the football playoffs, the turkey legs contest, both homecomings,and the prom. Most of all, however, we'll remember all the good times and all of our friends. More than that, however, we'll take with us the memories of Southern’s spirit and pride. We'll remember how we all helped to keep Southern’s reputation alive each time we took a test, completed a homework assignment, or represented Southern in an extracurricular activity. Southern was put on 4 the line each day. Now that the end of the line is once again here, we all realize what we each contributed to the upkeep of Southern’s reputation.
