un- - X . Clubs play a major role in the lives of students here at Southside. They help students take on responsi- bilities. A brand new association has been introduced to Southside this year. It is a club called VICA, which is being sponsored by a new teacher here, Mr. Benny Deaver. Another new teacher is Mr. Raymond Holder, who is in charge of SIO. Something old and something new. It seemed like that was what Southside -was getting this year. The newspaper, directed by Mr. Tom Oliver, took on the new name South- world. Two other groups who work hand in hand are DECA and COE. DECA is directed by Mr. Jim Shropshire and Mr. Troy Bedwell. This class prepares a student for the business world. A group that focuses its attention on office work is COE. Mrs. Carol Phillips devotes her time to this organization.

SSS ll? ll UK NINE Ill as Volleyball team excels, ranks third in district Practice, effort, and teamwork are three things that played a part in the girls' sports program this year. With the new Girls' Athletics class, a 'tfirstv for Southside this year, there was much more chance X for regular practice. Although this was the first year for the class, Southside did offer girls' sports last year, but it was completely extracur- ricular, and did not offer basketball. t'The class was startedf, Mrs. Patricia Hoffius, volleyball coach said, to create more interest and participationf, This was achieved with the 100-member, first period class. Other coaches for girls' sports in addition NX to Mrs. Hoffius were Mrs. Clara Alverson, gymnasticsg X Coach Lemley, basketballg and Coach James Pitts, track. A few unforseen pitfalls happened gh this year, such as overcrowding in the class and 5 not enough student body support. But high hopes were already forming in May for a better pro- gram next year. ScorekeeperRhonda Bateman ftopj and Cindy Holland M21 watch the action as the referee calls a net ball on Darlene Hamilton in the district tournament at Northside. 'Sock it to 'em ' might be an apt phrase from Darlene Hamilton as she yells encouragement at the district tournament. The team placed third in their first-ever district competition. 98 Ss.. . .,... ,
