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

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. Student Life Division-7
