They say that's what I'm doing.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
When I get up, the morning says
I'm a part ofit
- I can make it.
My teacher removes the glasses and says,
"Ifonly you'd TRY. "
I've got no inspiration, sir
No push. You know, like Holden Caulfield.

How I long to be with you.
My hands are the playground

Hanson Oversees 21-Module Day;
Burmood, Nystrom, Bathke Assist

Where one finds students and teachers, one also finds an
administration. Dr. Leonard Hanson, principal of South High,
put some new practices into effect thls year. South students
now have a 21-mod day. Students who did not have a class
the last mod, however, were allowed to leave the building,

Dr. Hanson had three qualified men to help him supervise
activities involving the people from South High. Dr. Ronald
Burmood is in charge of the computerization of modular
scheduling. Mr. William Nystrom commands student schedul-
ing and student discipline. Dr. Robert Bathke supervises the
activity schedules and administers locker numbers and cards.
Through these men South High receives its guidance.

Dr. Robert Bathke, activities director, keeps record of all activities
concerning South High.

All the changes seen during the 1970-71 school year were the result
of concertrated labor by Dr. Hanson, Dr. Burmood, Mr. Nystrom, and
Mr. Bathke. Although theil: j obs were difficult and often tedious, the
year proved to be a very successfu l one. Pictured above is Mr. William
Nystrom.

Counseling Is Alphabet Soup;
Colleges, Future Plans Play Role

Counselo r duties consists of keeping student records,
scheduling the student with classes that are necessary for
graduation, and taking some disciplinary measures for such
things as the skipping of classes, e tc. During an evaluation
of South High this year, it was pointed out that the counsel-
ors have to spend too much valuable counseling time doing
clerical work such as attendance of students.

Mini Courses from Maxi Plans;
English Students to Choose?

Wit h a new leade r, Dr. Patrick Salern o, the English De-

changes at South. " Mini-courses" would let the students
and teachers choose courses like modern song ly rics as
Lite rature, Black Literature, Vocabul ary, a nd Creative
Writing. There was also an at tempt by the teache rs to mo re
closely corre late their la rge and small group instruction so
that the students could get more from the lec tures, film s
and discussion of the two.

Student Needs Are Found with

Ecological Course As Nucleus

A student approaches biology with a common question ,
" What will this course do for me?"

In answer, Project "29" was an individualized program
introduced to students this year, using the most compre-
hensive and reliable facts of living things in modern biology.
The needs and problems of studen ts were also take n into ac-
count and basic learning activities were set fo r each student
that would contrib ute most to their personal lives and to
the pe rformance of their responsibilities as adults.

Computer Plays Important Role

Math curriculum received a shot in the arm this year as
Math Analysis and Calculus were combined to form one class
called Math Analysis/ Calculus for advanced math students. In
previous years, Computer Programing had been introduced to
students as a club, but this year it became a class.

Computer clickings heard by everyone passing by the
Math office were caused by the Computer Terminal, a ·
machine which relays math formulas in codes to a computer

at U.N.O. In a matter of seconds the problem is solved. South
High was the only high school to have the computer for two

full semesters instead of one as the result of a rotation
method used by the schools.

Language Lah Receives Answers;
Divided Rooms Are Big Problem

When trying to teach two different languages in the
same room with a thin partition is quite hard on the stu-
dents and the teachers. When both teachers are talking, a
sentence might come out as, " Parlez-vous espanol?" o r
"So schan Duetchland, je parle anglais un peu." But
what's really confusing is when one is taking a Spanish
test and Christmas carols are being sung in the next
room.

The Language lab is a different story. It's a real help
for students with a pronounciation problem. Many
teachers encourage their studen ts to go into the lab by
giving extra points to those students.

Food for Thought Stirs Pupils;

Homemaking Dishes Out Answers

When homemaking is mentioned, people think of it just as
sewing and cooking. But it involves sociology- learning how
to live and deal with people. Consumer Education has be-
come an integrated part of homemaking. Because of these
courses, sewing, cooking, adult living, interior decorating, and
human development, one learns to be independent.

Every year there are different methods and ideas in all
phases of life. Through these courses the student experiences
new fashions, grooming, designs, health and nutrition tech-
niques.

For the eleventh year, Mrs. Esther Dillman heads the Consumer Edu-
cation and Homemaking Departme nt.
