Ambassadors

A mbassadors is South's elite
singing and performing
group. Often during the
year, especially during the
holidays, the group travels

outside the school to sing for various

community functions.

Under the direction of Ms. Mary Lou

Jackson, the Ambassadors entertain such

groups as retired teachers, hospital

groups, the elderly and others. They also

appeared at Homecoming this year and

Sound-Off.

The group is largely sophomores but

the sophomores and juniors are repre­

sented also.

C ongratulations to the cast and
crew of Cole Porter's musical,
Anything Coes for their fine
performance. A special
thanks goes to Mr. James Ei-
senhardt, Ms. Mary Lou Jackson, Mr. Doug­
las Young, and Miss Kim Grabenstein, and
all other staff members that put in so much
time helping to produce such a great per­
formance.

Mr. Eisenhardt, who directed the show,
feels that this year's production was a very
good starting point for future productions
as most cast members were newcomers.

At RBloody good fun

D racula made an appearance on South
High's stage February 16 and 17.
Adapted from Bram Stoker's novel,
the play tells the story of a sweet
young lady who is pursued by a
blood-hungry vampire, the Count, who wants to
make her one of his wives for eternity.

Production staff included Mr. James Eisenhardt,
director; Mr. Doug Young, set designer; and Kath­
erine Solberg, assistant.

There were several fresh faces in this play, as
well as some "pale” ones. James Peterson played
Dracula, while other roles were handled by Patricia
Solberg, Mollie Gazinski, Roger Hering, Greg Wil­
son, Steve Schroeder, Edward Ellison and Michelle
Fruge.

The Count (James Peterson) prepares to make innocent victim Lucy (Patty Solberg) the
Countess of Darkness.

Under control of the Count, Renfield (Greg Wilson) attacks Abraham Von Helsing
(Eddie Ellison), a friend who mysteriously appears from the past to solve the secret.

Renfield the slave pleads for mercy from his mas­
ter after double crossing him.

Love cures all ailments. Could this possibly be the
happily engaged couple, John (Roger Hering) and
Lucy, who have become victims of the Count?

Mother Steward (Mollie Cazinski) comforts her daughter Lucy (Patti
Solberg) after a dreadful attack.

to deadlines

T he yearbook staff had to work extra hard for
the 100th year celebration of South High.
To make this book special and unique, it
took long hours of time, effort, and devo­
tion. Even though the staff was new, with
the exception of three returning seniors, everything
turned out okay. Managing editor was Dawn Worthing­
ton and sponsor was Mrs. Marjorie Waterman.

“ I was new this year and at first it was hard but I still
enjoyed it. Next year will be even better, since I'll know
what to do," claimed Jodie Nary, when asked what she
thought of her first year on the yearbook staff.

Still going strong

T he 1988-'89 Tooterstaii consists
of 11 members this year. Even
though this was a substantial cut
in the number of people on the
staff from last year the class did
a great job. The advisor for the staff, Mr.
James Eisenhardt, who also was the drama
instructor and the debate coach, had many
great ideas for the paper.

They use the Macintosh computer to
prepare all of their pages. This allows them
freedom to be more creative.

Cut down to it

T he vocational classes at South
range from automotives, wood
working and metals, to electron­
ics and architectural drafting.
Each teaches the student a skill
that can be pursued for a career, or used as
a hobby. Often, the classes work on projects
which have a practical value. For example,
the metals department makes computer
tables for schools nearby as well as for
South.

The drafting classes design and build
model homes which are displayed at the
Home Show each year. Automotives classes
learn to repair and refinish cars. Some cars
are left by people for the students to repair
and repaint.

Looking for help from his teacher, Mr. Dennis Bernadt, Mike
Moreland sketches out his rough draft.

Juniors Matt Milan and John Benak wonder how these things go togeth­

Center adds up

C areer Center offers many differ­
ent classes which are not avail­
able at the other Omaha Public
high schools. Such disciplines as
photography, autobody, televi­
sion and radio broadcasting and the academy
of finance draw students from around OPS.

The Center is challenging yet fun, ac­
cording to advanced photography student
Stacie Dorste. "The teachers at the Career
Center are very good at what they teach and
help the students to do their best, too," she
added.

Group for leaders

In the J.R.O.T.C., the motto is "We train the
best to lead the rest," and it is demonstrated
through various organizations of leadership.
The prime leadership is provided by Retired
Major Harold Hornbeck and Retired First Ser­
geant Jerry Ramirez.
Some of the organizations that help develop
the pride of the group are the Battalion Staff, Color
Guard and Courtesy Patrol. The first is in charge of
the entire battalion, the Color Guard presents the
flag at school functions and games, and the Courtesy
Patrol can be seen lending a helping hand.

Other groups are the Orienteers, who special­
ize in mapping, and the Exhibition Drill Team with
Weapons.

mal Inspection with Senior Army Instructor Major Ffornbeck. Lollar has
been a member of the Packer Battalion for four years.

Loftus family

a tradition

Trends, traditions and generations are all part of be­
ing a Packer. South has changed throughout the years,
but one thing has stayed the same . . . family heritage.
Generations of families have attended South over the
years. One example of this is the Loftus family. Now at­
tending South are sixth generation Packer cousins Jodie,
a senior, and David, a sophomore.

Shown in the picture to the right are some of the
members of the Loftus family: Dale, Dwane, Douglas,
Derry, Dennis, Danny, Diane, Donald, Mr. and Mrs. Don­
ald, Sr., and Donna. Carrying on the tradition of wrestling
shown in the picture is David who placed fifth in the 112
lb. weight class in this year's State Wrestling Meet.

Though not all families have had six generations, the
school means the same to all who have gone here.

complishments.

There have been many students who have passed through
South High and have left their mark. One such person was 1963
graduate Marlin Briscoe.

Briscoe was running back on South's varsity football team. He
helped lead the Packers to a State title that year. After high school,
Briscoe went on to UNO where he played quarterback.

After college, he was drafted by the Denver Broncos, for whom
he also played quarterback. Briscoe's playing quarterback is no small
accomplishment as he was the first black quarterback in the history
of professional football.

As a student at South, Briscoe also played basketball all four

years, and was a member of Math Club, "O " Club, Spanish Club and
Student Council. He was honored at Homecoming and was a Big
Brother, as well.

South's Hall of Fame can be seen in the display case east of the main office.

These opportunities included several organi­
zations and clubs. One of these clubs was The
Friendship Club, an organization that brought
girls together for the betterment of the communi­
ty. This club was known in 1918 to help out sol­
diers wounded in World War I, at the Fort Crook
House, by taking them fruit and candy.

Other organizations dealt with JROTC and
the different aspects of it related to young wom­
en. One of these opportunities was the Girls' Drill
Team. The other was an annual promotion dance
to elect Miss Non-Commissioned Officer
(N.C.O.). If cheerleading or baton twirling didn't
satisfy a girl's schedule, they could have been a
Red Pepper or a member of the Red Vests. These
were girls who wore cheerleading-like uniforms
and cheered along with the cheerleaders at pep
rallies.

Another all-girl organization was the Girls
Athletic Association or G.A.A. This brought girls
together to participate in sports, when South
didn't offer athletics to girls. Some of the sports
offered were volleyball, tennis, badminton, bas­
ketball, bowling, soccer, softball, and swimming.
All of these opportunites allowed South High girls
to develop into mature and responsible adults.

Pride of '89

T he closing tim e of high school years is the time we say good­
bye to all those w ho have touched us during our years at
South. The friends, counselors and teachers that made it

all possible are those w ho send us out of South and into the future.

This is the time to realize all the know ledge and experience we've

gained and apply it to our future dreams.

O ur senior year is an exciting tim e, filled with choices and m om ­

ents of em otion, but w e realize in living it, that many of our e xp eri­

ences will be the last ones for our high school years. Some sad m om ­

ents will be the last tim e we have a "h o m e ro o m ," the last perform ­

ance as an athlete, and the last tim e we hear the bell ring through

the halls. All these m em ories of South will be a part of us and we

move on to be adults.

Now it's tim e to say good-bye. Thank you South for making us

a part of the pride of '89.

’89 mixes new, old

T his year, for the Class of '89, is important for all of
us. It is not just the end of twelve years of school,
but also the beginning. This is a time that we must
say good-bye to friends and decide what we are
going to do with the rest of our lives.

Coming to South as freshmen gave us a scary feeling of

not knowing anyone. As time progressed, we all made friends,

with the addition of new and the going of old. Now, as seniors,

we are part of one big family. No matter where our lives lead

us, we will always remember our fun times at South High and

the pride we have in being the Class of 1989!

Pride of Growth

T he underclassmen are the future of South High; without them
there w o uldn't be a new graduating class every year.
Underclassmen make up the largest part of the popula­
tion at South. From their freshm en to sophom ore to junior years,
they thrive for the tim e when they will lose the label
"underclassm en" and gain the title "se n io r." These days are not en­
tirely spent looking to the future, how ever. Each day spent in classes,
on the playing field or at a club m eeting helps to prepare us for not
only our senior year, but for a future outside the walls of this school.

The role of underclassmen can be difficult sometimes. Walking
past a group of seniors in the hall can require as much courage as
taking a sem ester final. Despite this, it is fun to be able to enjoy
school without the pressure faced by the seniors to graduate and
plan their futures.

W e w ork today to achieve tom orrow , so underclassm en, make
the best of it. Spend your high school years wisely so that you can
look back and rem em ber the steps that were taken to get you where
you are today.

Underclassmen are what make 1988-89 a "Year of G ro w th."

These students of 1975 appear to be having fun!

with a new outlook: that next year they will take

with quality and excellence. This they have been doing since

to for success. They all show they have this ability, and once

they start looking ahead, they'll never look back!
