Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose, We start out walking And learn to run. And, yes, we ' ve just begun sharing horizons That are new to us, Watching the signs Along the way, Talking it over, Just the two of us, Working together Day to day together. And when the evening comes we smile. So much of life ahead, We ' ll find a place Where there ' s room to grow. And, yes, we ' ve just begun to live .... Mien County Public : libra 900 Webster Street PO Box 2270 „„,« Fort Wayne, IN 4680V?™ Traditions Meet New Challenges In 1972 Southwood celebrated her tenth anniversary. Ten years as a school had brought innovations and established traditions, such as clash days and senior-faculty bas- ketball games. Dave Stanley was elected Student Council president in the spring, carrying on a tradition of student government, but the 72 election was accompanied by a greater concern for effective stu- dent participation. In 72 South- wood helped to raise money for the March of Dimes in the first in- ter-school walkathon, and the stage band brought up-to-date rhythms and chords from hours of traditionally grueling practice.

Above: NOW HOW ' S A GIRL supposed to write home about something like this? Swedish Girl Views U.S.A. Outspoken, ungrateful, hon- est, constructively critical — all of these descriptions and more were applied to Southwood ' s 1971-72 exchange student during her year in the community. Unlike many of her predecessors, Anne Lundin wasted no time in polite chatter when she honestly felt that many of the customs and attitudes of her American hosts could be improved upon. Bringing with her from Swe- den a distaste of the U.S. in- volvement in Viet Nam and a pre- conceived notion that all American women were rich, overweight, and bedecked with red fingernail pol- ish, Anne kept her attitude about the war and modified her opinion of Americans in general. Happiness Is Winning Breezes of a crisp, clear October night brought a win for South- wood ' s football team, a float con- test victory to the Junior Class, a romantic mood to couples at the after-game dance, and a personal honor to Paula Lawson when she was crowned queen of the home- coming activities.

A I t ' SS KlS- 1 1 1 R - ■ I HK — p . 1972 It ' s Like This Whether plotting for adventure, warding off seemingly endless rain- drops, cleaning out a disaster area, cheering a victorious and dignified senior class team, roasting over a bonfire, or planning sectional tour- nament posters, action and attitude were by-words for 72. Nothing Succeeds Like Olympic Day OLYMPIC DAY ALWAYS ends the school year with a bang. It ' s a great day for being active in the many track events, or for relaxing with a radio or a friend. And after it ' s all over, tired and relieved, any student would gladly wait in the shade for the bus. ;.;. ; ; ACTIVITIES BUREAU: Front row: Paula Vanderpool, Steve Moore. Row 2: Marsha Frank, Teresa Vanderpool, Kim Bechtol, Debbie Clark, Vickie Barton, Janis Hill. Council, Activities Bureau Provide Leadership for School Activities Activities Bureau has proven to be a very important part of extra-cur- ricular activities at Southwood. Members of the Bureau worked long hours to provide activities with a minimum of conflicts. Stu- dent director Paula Vanderpool, with the help of assistant student director Steve Moore, business manager Marsha Frank, assistant business manager Teresa Van- derpool, typist Kim Bechtel, assist- ant typist Debbie Clark, reporter Janis Hill, and Student Council president Vickie Barton, worked to make student activity records ac- curate and complete. Student Council members planned carefully this past school year to sponsor events that the majority of the student body would enjoy. These events included Home- coming and Olympic Day. The Stu- dent Council divided its members into committees to provide a con- centrated attack on student prob- lems. The committees were Pro- gram and Projects, Evaluation, Discussion, and Research. Despite criticism, the Student Council took action on matters, such as dress code and student complaints, that will effect student government in the coming years.

Publications, Camera Club Capture School Spirit Hundreds of pictures, a similar number of rewritten layout sheets, and a dozen stubby pencils were just some of the things found as the Lance staff tried to compile the record of a productive school year. Being both critic and production worker had its problems. It was dif- ficult to select which pictures would best tell the story for a par- ticular event. Another problem de- veloped when copy was to be ready for a deadline and literary creativity suddenly ceased to func- tion. In spite of difficulties, mem- bers of the staff worked to present the student body with a yearbook that would help them remember the events of an exciting 1971-72 school year. These members were Ken Einselen, Carol Rapp, Cheryl Fulton, Rick Brandenburg, Gary Ja- coby, Chris George, Jackie Bassett, Rod Waite, and Kathy Lynch. Pho- tographs were provided by Mr. William Smith, Mr. Barry Conrad, Earl Rogers of Rogers ' Studio, Da- vid Sprinkle, and Dave Ulshafer. Sales and advertising personnel in- cluded Robbin Sartain, Bonita Brodt, Marlene Rapp, Donna Em- rick, and Mark Bowman. Mrs. Jud- ith Fahrnow was the Lance advisor. The staff is grateful to the Irving Music Company for allowing the inclusion of the lyrics of the song We ' ve Only Just Begun, words by Paul Williams, music by Roger Nichols, copyright 1970, Irving Mu- sic, Inc. (BMI). The Crusader used a different type of organization this year to try to cover news more thoroughly. The paper was divided as follows: newspage, Carol Rapp, editor; edi- torial page, Anita Smith, editor- feature page, Nancy Peebles, edi- tor; and sports page, Karen Thomas, editor. The staff would like to give special thanks to Mrs. Sheila Reiter, sponsor, and Dave Ulshafer and David Sprinkle, photographers. Camera Club worked to produce pictures of various activities at Southwood. Students learned how to get special effects with their cameras, how to develop pictures, and how to care for their cameras. Speech and Academics Play Major Roles N.F.L members were frequently awakened each Saturday of the school year by ringing alarm clocks at five a.m. This meant another day of riding a bus to an area school, participating in three rounds, and hopefully, a final round. N.F.L. members learned how to speak with feeling, or as Mr. Thomas Og- lesby, speech coach, has put it, to speak with soul . Southwood was represented in na- tional competition by Steve Lakes, who placed first in boys ' ex- temporaneous speaking at the state level. Thespian members worked long hours this spring to produce the play Flowers for Algernon. Flow- ers for Algernon was a play filled with many scene changes and lighting cues that seemed to run smoothly for a high school production. National Honor Society inducted 23 new members in February. They were chosen on the basis of schol- arship, leadership, service, and character. Members were in charge of ti- cket sales for the Youth for Under- standing fish fry. The year was con- cluded with a picnic at Salamonie.

Spanish Club was active in such ac- tivities as a Christmas party, Pan American Day, and their project of helping needy children through the Church World Service Fund. Mem- bers also learned from films and guest speaker Professor Adams of Manchester College when he presented a lecture concerning Spanish-speaking countries. Equites Romani (Latin Club) took an active interest in Roman civ- ilization by celebrating such occa- sions as Saturnalia, Ides of March, and a Roman banquet. The mem- bers also sponsored a movie fol- lowing the Y.F.U. fish fry. The year was concluded with attendance at the state J. C. L. convention. International Relations Club met monthly to discuss matters of na- tional and international concern. Members also learned to under- stand the complexities of foreign affairs.

With the help of the F.F.A., the Fu- ture Homemakers Club co-spon- sored a Valentine ' s Day dance for the first time in several years. The club went to Indianpolis to tour the Home Show. The girls concluded the year with a banquet for their parents. The program was pro- vided by the Knight Tones. Practicing an average of two hours daily, members of the G.A.A. bas- ketball team received the credit that was due to them: a perfect, no-loss season. The G.A.A. also participated in volleyball com- petition. They placed sixth in the district. The Youth With Christ, under the direction of Carol Huston, presi- dent; Robbin Sartain, vice-presi- dent; and Penny McFarren, secre- tary, worked to provide a Christian influence for the student body.

Art and Library Clubs Make Improvements The Art Club expanded its activities this year by keeping the halls of Southwood decorated for each of the activities the student body un- dertook during the year. The mem- bers of the club also went to local exhibits to learn the techniques used in various mediums of art. The Art Club completed the year with its annual spring show and trip. Library Club members worked daily in the library to keep books in order and cards filed correctly and to assist students in finding needed materials. Members of the Library Club traveled to Marion College in the spring to examine the working of a larger library. Members also learned how to use a library of this size for the benefit of the student.

Booster Club Shows Spirit As Knights Win, Lose Southwood ' s Booster Club mem- bers braved cold and storm in the fall of 1971 to cheer their football team to victories. Dressed in their red shirts and gray vests, the club then saw a basketball losing streak come to an end as they cheered, screamed, stomped, and sobbed their hardwood heroes to numer- ous wins. At each home basketball game individual rows of club members took on the respo nsi- bility for the coat check. At sectio- nal tournament time, the Booster Club made its way to a hot, small, and crowded Huntington gym for the year ' s competition. On Friday, April 14, 1972, the Booster Club sponsored a party for their mem- bers, the school athletes, and guests.

Science, Rocket Clubs Learn, Study Science is a changing and growing field, and the Science Club at Southwood kept abreast of some of t he changes as they studied new methods and new materials from the field. Using experiments, field trips, and lectures, students in the Science Club were made aware of current happenings in science. The group planned a science fair in the spring where members could show their skills in preparing and re- searching a particular area of study. The Rocket Club also delt with sci- ence, but was created for those in- terested in the specialized study of rocket construction. The club met to discuss new methods of rocket construction and put their knowl- edge to work by constructing model rockets.

IJHS Takes Field Trips Indiana Junior Historical Society has taken an active part in the study of Indiana history on local as well as state levels. At regular meetings, reports were given con- cerning little-known facts of impor- tance in the development of In- diana. Field trips made this new- found information apply to present-day life. Members of IJHS became involved in several inter- school events during the year. In October officers attended a train- ing-learning workshop at Spring Mill State Park. On December 11, members took a field trip to Con- ner Prairie, and on May 8, mem- bers attended the State convention where state officers are elected, winners of articles are named, and speakers present new facets of information.

H.S. Band Makes Music For Numerous Occasions The swish of red and black pom poms, the muffled rumble of marching feet, the shrills of high woodwinds and the boistrous blar- ing of the brass playing the familiar strains of a march-all and more composed the sights and sounds of the 1972 Southwood High School marching band. During October the marching Knights competed in the yearly contest at Northside High School in Fort Wayne under the batons of Jon Porter and Sabrina Cain, drum majors. The band received a sec- ond rating. The band then trans- formed into a concert organization to present the winter concert. In January many individuals chose to attend district contest, and four- teen from Southwood went on to perform and win in the state con- test at Butler University in In- dianapolis. In March, two band- smen, Sheryl Harnish and Steve Moore, were selected to partici- pate in the All-State Band at Butler University. The High School Band hosted the State Band and Choir Contest for over 7,000 guests in April.

Coach Bill Rogge felt that the varsity sophomore- studded team, and the rest of the squad, had gained valuable ex- perience that will help to strengthen next year ' s season. The wrestlers had a fine season which was topped by winning the sectio- nal. The most valuable was Bob Stouffer.

Football Team Records Finest Season The varsity football team came up with its best season ever in the his- tory of ohe school. Through months of off-season training and practice, the team made things click in 1972. There were several key injuries, including those of up- perclassmen Early and Humphries, during the season, but other mem- bers of the team came through to fill in the vacancies in the line-up. The most memorable game was the 50 - rout of White ' s Institute.

Youths Study Countries ' Southwood ' s two foreign language offerings not only put a new per- spective of culture into the scho- lastic environment, but also helped students to more nearly under- stand peoples of other lands and eras. Two years of high school Spanish provided adequate back- ground for college-bound and ca- reer-bound alike. Seventh graders all took introductory Spanish, and eighth graders could elect Spanish study on their ability level. With information gained from bul- letin boards, vertical file drawers, li- brary reference books, films, and tapes, not to mention the ever- present text book, social studies became an even more challenging area of study in 1972. Current events were discussed with in- dignation or appreciation, as the situation demanded, and maps and charts played their parts in the an- nual review of wars or wisdom, crime or culture.
