The word cinch stirs an especially significant meaning in the hearts of all generations and all kinds of cowboys, in particular those who, at one time or another, have roamed the halls of Southwood. One interpretation describes a strong girth used to secure a pack or saddle on a horse. Other definitions include any firm hold or grip and anything sure and easy. Just as the cinch secures the saddle to the horse, students have a firm hold on winning attitudes. “Everyone wants to succeed,” says Heath McCullough. Whether academics, extracurricular activities, sports, or loyalties. Pokes have them cinched. “That’s what makes Southwood what it is,” remarked Lori Binderim. This winning attitude filters within each student until all en¬ deavors seem easy. Just ask any Cowpoke. Will Southwood come out on top? “Of course we will. This is Southwood,” says Joely Jinks. It’s a cinch! To Cowpokes Alan Shadow, Deanna Newman, Stephanie Jackson, and Kalan Wash- ington, the word cinch means only one thing: a strong girth to secure a saddle on a horse.

ClMcktd — Ring out the Old; Bfm§ ooi] ®(§ M bw Several startling but welcome changes came to the Southwood campus. Just in time for bas¬ ketball season, workers labored to complete die wooden gym floor. Christmas came early for Spurs and band members when new uniforms debuted in their performances. It’s about time, but it was worth the wait, said Austin Biel. Teachers noticed a slight raise in their paychecks; however, most craved a larger bonus. An ad¬ ministration change resulted in a new principal coordinating school business and a new assistant principal managing discipline. These changes proved that improvements are a cinch at Southwood. Pay raises funded by the state give Ms. Sue Blacet an op¬ portunity to boost her checking account balance. Masking tape supplied by Chris StanseLl, Steve Burrows, and Clay Davis begins the artwork for the new gym floor. New uniforms perfectly fit Michelle Thomas, Jill Shannon, Marty Young, Ross Hickman, Mark Morton, Warren Hovis, Eric Rainwater, and James Hawkins.
