fast-twirling and high-stepping performances before
each half time show caught the attention of the en-
thused crowd. Many hours of practicing during the
summer, and before school in a variety of weather
conditions, enabled marching band to put on their in-
teresting shows. These shows are the product of Mr.
Al Travis and Jim Bailey's hard work.

The annual Band Club Christmas Party was held
this year on December I9, 1973 in the band room.
Refreshments were served as everyone danced to the
music of "Zebidia Twilt."

When senior Gloria Hollinger was asked what she
felt abo ut being a member of the band , she replied,
"The fun I've had in marching band, has made my
high school days more memorable."

Stage Band supplies a chance to change from ••

the classical music which is performed by Symphonic Band
to the "big band" style of music. But of course this is not
the only kind of music played. The Stage Band provides the
background music for South High 's an nual talent show ,
"Sound-off'. They all work hard arranging the music scores
for the acts. Some of the music students work along with
Mr. Travis in producing this program. "Sound-off' was held
this year on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of April.

all girl play was chose n just because it was differe nt
from any o ther play ever done at South.

"Nine Girls" centered on nine sorority girls, who
became involved in a murder mys tery. It was performed
with the audience on three sides, and o nly one set
throughout the play. The girls rehearsed two ho urs every
night, and the last week before the play they practi ced
· five or six hours each night.

Mr. Dusatko taught drama sixth a nd seventh ho ur
this year. In the class st udents worked on me mori zatio n,
projecting their voice, and how to hide nervo usness.
They also read , analyzed, and act ed scenes from plays.
Sometimes the students wrote their own skits or impro-
vised a situatio n given them.

rehearsals.

G.A .A• is a club designed for the liberated girl in mind.

If, you' re a girl, and you like to compete in many types o f
sports, than this is the club for you! For many yea rs, these girl
athletes have shown the boys they can do just as well as them
-if not better.

There are ninety-five active members in Girls Athletic
Association and they are sponsored by Mrs. Julie Haney. To-
gether, they organized the No . I noat of the Homecoming
Parade, which they have done several times before.

Different kinds of units are decided by the officers, and
they choose what they think everyone else would like. Table
Tennis, Bowling, Volleyball and Baske tball are among the
many sports that have been used in past years. A new sport
wi11 be introduced this yea r, and it's called Shufne Board. A
Volleyball Playday was held in December and these girls camp
out at the end of the year.

Each year this group seems to get larger and more active
and new types of sports are introduced. Carol Riha replied
"G.A.A. keeps me active , in many ways than just playing
sports."

in the Library. In a sense the club is a class but
while the members learn how to run the library
they have fun.

The meetings are more like a get-together.
They had a Christmas Party and they are plan-
ning on giving a tea for the faculty.

If a person needs assistance in the library

during school and after they can always find a
Library Club member to assist them. Their du-
ties include checking out books, giving fine
slips and organizing the Library.

Math Club is made up of students who are interested in the field of math.

Members met every two or three weeks and worked with computers and mathemat ical
problems. Also projects for the year were discussed. Patches were the decided project
and sold for one dollar.

Math Club's second annual math contest was held at South on January I9th.
Eleven schools competed in the competition. South did not place, but had the satis-
faction of knowing they did their best in trying.

Drafting is a basic course in fundamen-

tals of architectural drawing. Students design their
home. The course gives either one or two credits
depending on which grade level the course is taken

and the extent of the course. The students must
furnish his own drawing pencils. Skills developed
in this course are important fo r the students seek-
ing careers in drafting or engineering. The classes
last for a period of two hours. This gives the stu-
dents enough time to clean up the tools, which in
this course is very important.

Mr. Albert Pribramsky enjoys
his leisure time by doing all

sorts of outdoor sports. He
enjoys teaching and helping
students wit h drafting.

Shown above is an example of finished work done by architectwal drawing students.

in each category were then voted on. The votes
were tallied by Mrs. Haugse and Mr. Faiman.
They were the two English teachers who organ-
ized the Awards Assembly. The results were

A. mbassadors consists of twenty members. To be an

Ambassador a student is to be enrolled in first choir and be either a

junior or a senior.

Being an Ambassador takes a great amount of time. During

the year the Ambassadors have early morning practices quite often.

The Ambassadors gave many performances at places such as:

The Nebraska State Education Association President's dinner, the

annual Christmas Vespers at South High, Ramada Inn, South Omaha .

Women's Club and many other places.

The Ambassadors meet seventh hour every day. Credit is not

given for this class, but a grade is. Working hard with the Ambassadors is the founder of the group

Mr. Roland Hinrichs. Besides the Ambassadors, Mr. Hinrichs is

also busy with fust and second choir classes.

Mr. Hinrichs announced open try-outs.

tradition when seventeen is over-the-hill for unmarried girls,
bachelors were sure to get hitched on Sadie Hawkins Day,
baths were an annual event, and women went for the
strong, he-man husbands.

Since Dogpatch is the most worthless town in the
United States, the government decided to use it as a missile
sight instead of Nevada. That is Dogpatch's biggest prob-
lem, and it is solved by the least expected source- the
statue of Jubilation T. Cornpone.
