HONOR AND SERVICE CLUBS fcontinuedj ATHLETES, ACTORS, ACTIVITIES srudemrs pIAy ilvlpomANr Role Service is definitely the best word to describe these six organizations but they all deviated long enough to participate actively in Christmas, homecoming and other school-oriented activities. The only life-time membership club at Southside is the Thespians, an honorary club for those in- terested in drama. Ten Thespian points, earned by performance or backstage work, earns a place in the society. The Thespians are the backbone of the drama departmentf, stated president Randy Davis, 'tbecause we play a major role in deciding on, producing, and performing all the plays. The highlight of the Thespians' activities is the annual Best awards banquet held after the final play with the awards going to outstanding senior members. Another type of awards was given to Southside's outstanding athletes. Letters. The final recognition after a year of practices and performances. First-year lettermen received jackets, second- year received letter sweaters, and third-year lettermen received blankets for their continuous hard work and dedication. Along with these honor and service clubs, student government plays an equally important role to the school. The four councils: Stu- dent, Senior, Junior, and Sophomore, planned and participated in Q practically every school project and activity. Composed of thirty-five members, the Student Council success- fully provided the student body with school elections, operation of the concession stands at various school-related projects, and promo- tion of both basketball and football homecoming weeks. fcontinued on page 551 .
