The standard opening in high school chapel included the singing of a song, the pledges to the American and Chris- tian flags, and the quoting of the school verse, Colossians 3:23, 24. The purpose of this four-time-a-week routine was not to form a ritual, but rather, to re- mind each student to be loyal to God and country, and to prepare hearts for the message. The emphasis of the Biblical preach- ing in chapel was one of the main rea- sons for the strong spiritual leadership of Southside among other schools. Many Godly men spoke to the seventh through twelfth graders. All of the Southside Baptist Church pastoral staff members used their pulpit opportunity to preach a practical, soul-stirring mes- sage. Other guest speakers included Dr. joseph Henson, Coach Ron Bishop, missionaries Percy Belah, lack Archi- bald, and Wayne Harper, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Fricke, Mr. Kiser, and, of course, Pastor Brooks, who spoke most fre- quently. Many graduates of Southside have commented that things they learned in chapel have been a real encouragement and source of counsel in their lives. One can be certain that this will be found true of the class of '82 and the many classes to follow. 66 High School Chapel Preacher Feature H-4, V V Q ' 4 ...E 4-Q-1 Dr. Walter Handford, Pastor, Southside Baptist Church . ,..- WML R X Frank Garlock, Minister of Music, Southside Bap- tist Church.

Change of Pace On Tuesdays and Fridays, all the stu- dents in the elementary school were able to enjoy a change of pace from the Hclassroom grind. Chapel was a time when Preacher McSherry or any special guest speaker could challenge the students to live better Christian lives and to always give their best in all that they did. The twice- a-week chapel was a great opportunity for speakers to instruct in areas of Chris- tian character and principles that would be invaluable in future years. A To add variety to the chapel hour, each class was given at least one oppor- tunity to present a play or program in front of the other classes. One box of- fice smash was Annie, which was put on by Miss Wood's fifth grade class. The class schoolers got a peek at ele- mentary chapel when Annie was performed for them during their chapel hour. At Christmas, Mrs. Altizer's K-4 class put on a special Christmas pro- gram. They sang songs, recited poems, and acted in several short dramatic scenes. Elementary chapel was an opportuni- ty to balance the high standards of aca- demics in the classroom with sound Biblical training and opportunities for fine arts performances. These three were blended together effectively. ,,,,, W ,wifi 68 Elementary Chapel And we didn't catch a single thing.
