his year, 12 South seniors held positions as
Senior Class Officers. This special gr~up_was
: ]elected to represent their peers as iumors.
Primarily, their task is to make decisions about
Prom, however they also host a teacher apprecia-
tion luncheon and provide flowers at graduation. Re-
turning this year as sponsor was Mrs. Joyce Pribyl.
The officers were as follows: Maurice Hooks, presi-
dent; Gina Domet, vice-president; Donna Moore,
secretary; and Stephanie Baker, treasurer.
In order to raise the money that they need dur·
ing the school year, these seniors sold programs at
Rosenblatt, worked the concession stands at football
games, sold sweatshirts for seniors, and sold lolli-

pops.

Ambassadors:

A classy way to

represent South!

....-~~,~ On several occasions this year 18 talented students
donned their red and white to represent South with their
...~_,-.-;.l... music. Under the direction of Mary Lou Jackson and
accompanied by Betsy Detter, they performed at several ele-
mentary schools, club dinners, public establishments, and at

school functions such as Open House and Homecoming. The

Ambassadors also joined with the other six OPS Swing Choirs
to dance and sing in the All-City Music Festival.

-~-.. The Ambassadors were consistently given great reviews.
. ' .. Their success, of course, stems from their dedication, talent,

and a good measure of friendship and fun. A special "thanks"
goes to them for showing off that truly unique brand of South

class.

Yearbook staff

shows hard work,
spirit and class

Ted Stodolka works to meet his. deadline. J his year's yearbook staff had many old faces
as well as some new. There were six returning
members from last year's staff. Last year's idea
of a spring book went over so well that we decided to
do it again. This means hard work and a rush to meet
deadlines. The staff really had to work together to get
all the pages in on time.

Although the yearbook is fun, meeting deadlines
makes everyone nervous and irritable. Hard work and
lots of time were definitely part of the yearbook this year,
but with the help of Mrs. Waterman, the sponsor, we
brought it all together to make this book one of South's
best!

This book reflected the theme chosen by the staff
early in September: A Touch of Class. The cover was
designed by senior Sandy Clark and the idea was carried
throughout the sections of the book. Because South has
class as a school and the 1987 yearbook staff has class,
too, the theme is a fitting one.

As the year goes on, working on the

spring, they attended Journalism con-
tests at UNO and UNL. Also, they went
to Lincoln for the High School Press As-

Fundraisers

finance fun
for French Club

: Jrench Club, sponsored by Mr. Wayne Boldt, has kept busy
this year raising money. The money raised went to finance
the club's activities throughout the school year. Among
those activities is a banquet in the spring, generally at a French
restaurant.

The club also participated in the Foreign Language Week
festivities, bowling and providing homemade French food for the
Foreign Language banquet.

The club also sent representatives to the French Convention
in April.

Mr. Boldt says that this is a "very exciting club with many
surprises."

_jJ istory Club, sponsored by
Mr. Gary Kastrick, has
grown in size since last
year. Activities are an important
part of this organization. The mem-
bers have become involved in a his-
tory competition and buying penny
stocks. Because of the activities,
more members have been attracted
to the club.

Latin Club is enjoying a reawak-
ening after having been inactive for
the past 20 years due to the addition
of a new Latin teacher to South
High's staff: Mrs. Carol Kennedy.

Members of the club are basically
the students who are enrolled in the
class. One activity the students par-
ticipated in was the Latin Certoman.

new i•mage

A gain this year, the South High chapter of the
national Honor Society strove to improve the
public's image of their school. In order to reach

this goal, they actually started last spring by hosting a

breakfast for teachers on June 5 . However this year,

they participated in activities that ranged from singing

carols at Christmas to calling prospective South High stu-

dents to encourage them to attend here.

Under the careful guidance of Miss Sally Fellows,

these students, who have managed to keep their grade

point averages at 3.50 or higher, and with the coopera-

tion of the counselors and administrators, endeavored

to improve the school spirit. The NHS indeed did a fine

job of showing off our true class.
