basketball season. The Packer team practiced extra
hard after school and put a lot of effort into the ir
games.

A devoted Cager coach for seven years, Mr. Cecil
Stutzman, was aksed why the team was losing the
games by just a few points? He remarked, "Since we
have such a young team this year we have not been
able to keep our poise the way a team with more
experience might''.

The team as a whole feels that they are a better
ball club than what the record shows.

Liberal Mod Scheduling Dumped;

South Classrooms Go Two-Tone

Asked the question, "What do you really th.ink about .--- ---------,---=
traditional scheduling?" Dr. Leonard Hanson exclaimed, "I
_love it!" He feels that modular scheduling was better in "-.. -
many ways but traditional scheduling helps the students
more. He also feels the kids are contented with traditional
scheduling and the painting and plastering of the building
had a small role in it. The shades of some of the rooms are:
kelly green and mint green, orange and peach, and canary
yellow and mustard yellow.

Mr. Robert Whitehouse , Athletic Director, from what
he's heard, prefers traditional scheduling also. He believes
being Athletic Director for South is a full-time job and en-
joys it throughout his summer. Dr. Ronald Burmood thinks
with traditional scheduling the kids are learning more than
before and less are quitting.

From Left to right: Dr. Ronald Burmood, Mr. William Nystrom, Dr.

Counseling ls A Family Affair; r
Students Seek Stepping-Stones

AU counselors seem to agree traditional sched uling is
much better than mod ular. "There is less d iscipline needed
this year under traditional scheduling", says Miss Karen
Clark. More views from counselors on scheduling are, " In
society the good of the majority is taken into considera-
tion ," from Miss Nancy D'Agosta and Mr. Cornelius Mosser
states that the honor system is exceptionally good und er
traditional scheduling. Mr. Dean Meisinger gives some of his
duties of counseling, "helping plan four years of schooling,
finding the best-fitting courses for the students interests,
and encouraging high grades."

__J.
r

Counselo r Mr. Dean Meisinger thinks the type of scheduling "varies
according to each individ ual student." In his co unseli ng he encounters
problems with the parents as well as with the students. He also looks
into and enjoys helping stude nts find jobs.

To be a counselor you need much understanding and mus t be able
to contro l your temper. " I like high school s tudents mo re th an
anyth ing," says Miss Nancy D'Agosta. She possesses a d egree in
Physical Education as well as counseling.

Counselor Gene Sch warting sees a continual procession of students
which, by day's end, leaves him exhausted and ready to go home. Be-
sides just coming to him for an admit, students come for all sorts of
guidance. His job consists of schedule changing, college planning and
other various duties. All the counselors try to maintain a friendly family
rapport with their counselees. College pamphlets and catal ogues for

various colleges are on display in all cou nseling offices for s tudent pe-
rusal.

Mrs. Viva Fuerst says she likes to work with the young. She loves
to help students and is inspired when she's b een thanked for helping
someone. Her garden keeps her very busy in her spa.re ti me .

Salerno Hopes Program Expands;

Senior English Sustains Change

One of the largest teaching departments at South High is
the English Department. It is made up of nineteen teachers, with
many of them having worked on a new mini-course program.

This past year was a special year for seniors taking En-
lish. Plans for the use of mini-courses from last year were put
to use this year. Dr. Patrick Salerno, head of the department,
would like to expand this special interest program to all levels
of English.

Dr. Salerno expressed his feelings in favor of the new
scheduling for the mini-courses. The program can have a du-
ration from anywhere to three, six, nine or ten weeks. With
traditional scheduling an adequate amount of time can be
spent on each subject studied.

Pictured above is Dr. Patrick Salerno who is head of the English
Department. Dr. Salerno has been with South for two years.

History: ''Equal Or Superior?'';
Traditional: ''A Lot More Work''

This year the History Department of South High School believes
that, on the whole, traditional scheduling gives much more time to tJ1e
stud ents to complete their work in class. Though Mr. Warren Witham of
the History Department states that, "Traditional scheduling is better for
some students but personally it is a lot more work." Mr. Robert Christie's
opinion of South High's History Department is that it is "equal or superi-
or to any other." American and Wo rld History teacher, Mr. David Kahm
states, "I like modular scheduling a lot better than traditio nal scheduling."
He believes the students can achieve much more with their own time.

Science Department Profiting;

Modular: ''Sorry To See It Lost''

To make modular scheduling work for the benefit of
students it depends on "the basis, of probably the type of
student and the way the student works," commented Mr.

Dan Zanders. Teachers and students could utilize their time
better with modular scheduling.

This year with traditio nal scheduling, stud e nts take

school more seriously. The number of failure grades have fal-
len. With a calmer atmosphere the halls are quiet. This year
seemed less confused with traditional scheduling and we had
fewer problems.

"Sorry to see it lost," Mr. Richard Beran states about
Modular scheduling, "but some students couldn't handle it."
Students are more content now and have more direction of

where they're going.

Numbers have Logic and Order;

Math Department Farther Ahead

Mr. Richard Wolfarth, head of the Math Department,
says that our students are having a hard time adjusting to
traditional scheduling. Students are learning more because
they have more classroom time.

There are continuous programs in math that are referred
to as "tracks in math." The math department feels that if
students take math courses they will get more out of them
than they think. "Students develop logic and order to any
situation given to the simplicity of numbers", says Mr. Jon
Boomgaarden. Mr. Everette Hopkinson says he's noticed that
with traditional scheduling we are much further ahead than
we have been in the past five years.

Larger Classes Gain Advantage;
Business Acquires Ample Time

Agreeing with the concept of traditional scheduling,
Business teachers have more time for studen ts as a group, but
not much time for individual instruction. Mr. Clark Wohlers
comments: " I haven't had any complaints from neither teach-
ers or students about the scheduling." He feels we are ac-
complishing more and that the teachers spent more time pre-
paring for their classes last yea r, but believes the studen ts are
benefitting more.

Mrs. Marjorie Fishel thinks that traditional scheduling
has stopped all the confusion in the halls and it is the only
scheduling to keep the South High students in order.

Mr. Clark Wohlers has a lot to do in his spare time. He bowls and does
some carpentry work on his cabin in Minneso ta. He also has started a
Chess club again this year.

As a typing and shorthand teacher, Mrs. Ellen Finnegan says she's
happy with trad itional scheduling. She feels the students benefit more
from it.

Peters, Turnquist Enliven Art;
Hands Form What Minds Dictate

When Miss Toni Turnquist was asked how she spent
her spare time she replied, "Teaching art for five hours a
week at U.N.O. and eight or more hours here at South
doesn't leave much time to spare, but if I had any, I guess I'd
read a book." Mrs. Cynthia Peters disagrees, however. Her
favorite past time is playing the piano and finds enjoyment in
painting.

Both Mrs. Peters and Miss Turnquist are art teachers
who are devoted to their work and could think of no other
profession they would prefer.

It was a difficult decision for Miss Turnquist to decide between a
career as an art teacher or a psychiatrist, but never the less loves
being an art teacher.
