It was evident that '76 would be a show in itself as far as academics were concerned. First, there was the new auditorium which would expand speech and drama classes as well as other phases of the curriculum. Next there were new additions to the faculty which, in turn, brought new courses. The largest student body in the school's history meant more subtle changes in the classroom also. The year started off with a bang academically. Scho- lastic activities in chemistry began with experiments which were evident to the whole school odor-wise, biology stu- dents made a last dash for leaves to join their collections before the frost hit or the leaves fell off the trees, juniors and seniors in Algebra II pushed into unexplored territoryg and English classes of all grades read books, wrote short The academic courses have been fun, the homework is unbearable Eddie Weller stories, essays, satires, poems, and also made posters as special projects. Not only were the students-old and new- getting used to Southside for the first time or after a long summer, but also seven teachers were walking through the halls of Southside for the first time. Five of the new faculty faces taught academic subjects. Mrs. Cheryl Busse teaches sophomore and junior English and according to sophomore Janet Price is a 'cfantastic teacher . . . she really gets you interested in English.
