Assembly Boosts Book Bales

In selling the yearbook this year the staff knew

they had to come up with something new and dif-
ferent to attract buyers. So they had an all-new

assembly different from the past year, with more
than just a slide presentation. It was held Thurs-
day, October 4, 1979. Slides were presented
while Diane Yates sang "The Way We Were."
There were slides of our school and famous people
in their high school years. There was also a skit

performed by students to encourage people to
buy yearbooks. It was supposed to be a scene

from the courtyard with two "losers" eating their
lunch. Various types of students came on stage
and gave their opinions of yearbooks. After-
wards, receipts were handed out so that students
could buy their yearbooks. Mr. Faiman, the year-
book advisor, thought up the idea. The students
adlibbed some of their way through three per-
formances. It was quite a success. Yearbooks were
also sold during parent-teacher conferences and
open house. Pictured above are Sandy Malzahn,
Gene McKe nna, Jeff Hastings, Connie Fox, and
Denise Simoneau .

Why Are Strangers Here?

This year South has so many students from

Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico, and Jordan to

learn their basic English. Sue Lee from Laos says
"I like South because I have many new friends
here." Chou Yang from Laos says "I like South
because there are people who want to help me."

The difficulties the students have is reading
because it is the vocabulary words they don't
understand. The words are not meaningful to
them in any way.

These students do like South High and they are

grateful that they came to South for their educa-
tion. Teachers are helpful in taking time to help

these students.

520 Food Service Expands

Many kids took advantage of lunch that was
served everyday in 520. Although students may
be heard complaining about the food, one could
always see students, especially the athletes, eat-
ing more than one of something.

Even though the ladies in the cafeteria worked
hard at preparing lunch for the hundreds of hun-
gry students, they went to extra trouble preparing
breakfast and sack lunches this year.

Breakfast were served in 520 from 7:30 to 8:10
and a small price of 15¢ was charged.

Sad lunches were also prepared for those stu-
dents who wanted to go outside to the courtyard
for lunch. During bad weather, sack lunches still
could be bought and eaten in 520. These could be
purchased for 60¢.

Ice cream was also available everyday for 20¢.

Joe,Nowak, Is School Parking Unbearable?

Have you ever tried to park at South High School
between the times of 7 a .m.. and 3:30 p.m.? It's like
arm wrestling with an elep1,°"ant. Impossible!

On November 9, 1979 Mrs. Eunice Nodgaard and
other members of the Booster club came to see the
school play. Because of the bad parking problem
South has, she had to park in the mortuary lot. Mrs.
Nodgaard then realized how serious the parking
problem really was. She called a meeting with the
Booster club and John Harrison of the police depart-
ment. At this meeting, they requested that the "No
Parking" sign on the south side of "J" street by
school be removed and that a 4 -way stop be put up
at 23rd and "J."

Senior Tracy Redden also realized South's problem
and in October of 1979 went before the School
Board and stressed the problem of parking at South
High School.

December 4, 1979 a student survey, given by the
Student Council, was taken on the parking problem.
This survey was then given to the School Board for
them to analyze and decide what should be done
about this parking problem.

Packers Join Area Work Force

South Omaha holds many job opportunities for
South High students. Senior Barb Hagelstien has
worked at Dairy Queen for two years and she
finds the people of the community very easy to
work with. Many people have come often and
have become regular customers during the time
·Barb has worked there. "It's really easy working at
· Dairy Queen because the atmosphere is so
relaxed," commented Barb. Barb seldom finds
herself having any trouble with South High stu-
dents saying they conduct themselves very well
when patronizing Dairy Queen.

Another South student who is working in the
area is Carrie Kroupa, who is a senior, she has
been employed at Burger King for a year and a
half. She enjoys working at Burger King because
it's close to home and the hours are good. When
asked if she felt there were any prejudice from
employers towards South High students, she said
"No," explaining "There are probably more South
students working at Burger King than students
from any other school. South students are always
the best workers!"

"Different 9trokes" 9hape Past Decade;

Music, Fads, and Fashions Differ

Another decade has passed right by us. Times were changing, and so were the 70's. These ten
years have brought many different styles and famous people that have become well-known in the
I970's. A December, 1979 issue of Life magazine commemorated the I970's with fashions, fads,
and "heroes" that are shown on the next two pages.

In the last ten years we have had three presidents,: Nixon, Ford, and Carter;along with three
different Popes. Since November of 1979, "Iran" has become a commonly used word dealing
with the hostages in Tehran. Alex Haley made his "Roots" popular with the week long drama. In
1976 America celebrated its Bicentennial year.

Donna Summer, 70's disco queen, made herself well-known with her "Hot Stuff" music. John

Travolta went from "Sweat Hog" Vinnie Barbarino to disco king in the movie "Saturday Night

Fever." Disco has been a big part of this decade along with emerging Punk Rock of the late 70's.

The Omaha World Herald said, "Dudley Moore is marvelously funny without losing
humanity as male-menopausal chaser of stunningly beautiful Bo Derek. Film itself is
often hilarious, with a quiet little message!!!"

Life of Brian -

Life of Brian came out in October of 1979. The
Omaha World Herald said, "zany Britains make
fun of Biblical times, but not the Bible. Funny, silly,
wicked. Monty Python 's most consistent and,
therefore; most satisfying comedy. Only occa-
sionally shocking." The movie is about a man who,
when he was born, received a visit from the three
wise men, who came to his stable by mistake. His
mother promptly kicks them out, after taking the
gifts. They return and take the gifts back. The
man's name is Brian, and all through life he is mis-
taken for The Messiah. At the end of the movie,
he is even crucified on a cross.

Star Trek-

Star Trek, first shown in
December, was a sell-out showing.
The Omaha World Herald said,"

South High "Sounds Ofr' With Talents

"King Tut" was enjoyed by Steve Martin fans. This year's "Sound Off," which was held on April 23,
24, and 25 was sponsored by Mr. Arnold. A lot of hard
work was put into trying rehearsals to make this year's
"Sound Off" a success. These rehearsals demanded full

cooperation from all membe rs with Mr. Arnold putting
all his time and talents into making the program a big
hit with the audience. Much credit should be given to
the many students and members of the faculty who
gave their support to the activities going on behind the
scenes. This year's "Sound Off" consisted of seventeen
acts, all of which ga ve their talents an added something
to the show. As an opening to the program, the band
played an overture entitled " Bandstand Boogie." This
was followed by Diane Yates singing "Deja Vu ," in a
way that silenced the audience into listening to her
every note. "Being in Sound Off was an experience I'll
neve r forget," commented Diane on her pe rforma nee in
the show. Among the many acts in the program, we
once again were shown the talents of "Fellows' Follies."
"Fellows' Follies" was a lot of fun, it was the first time
I've ever been up on stage performing. " replied Tim
Cubrich to the question of what it was like to be in
"Sound Off."

" Ba nd stand Boogie" was done by Me lissa Wey a nt an d Carol
Schmidt.

Mrs. Kvasnicka, Dr. Salerno, and Mrs. Skarnulis participate in "Flash."

"The Greatest Love of All" is sung by Milo Wat son. Bernie Ba rrett sings "Heart Breaker" with feeling a nd emotio n.
