Is it Possible to Put 4 Years into Words?

by Laurie Freeman The last few days of school is spent busily, not studying for finals, but running from friend to friend with your yearbook asking each to sign his or her name along with some memorable message. Now the worst thing to happen to you is having four yearbooks shoved at you at the same time in between classes. How is it possible to write something meaningful for four different people in less than five minutes?

The first three years in high school are okay when this situation arises because you always figure that you can write something deep in your last year. Many settle with, 'Had fun in Spanish (or any other class) with you. Have a good summer and see you next year."

This will not do for many seniors because there's a good chance that they may not see each other "next year. " What is

Department Award Lan^age Laura Pontow

Department Award Mathematics Joel Heimrich

it that rushed seniors can write that can mean something without going into long, colorful descriptions of how much fun was experienced in the past'' That is up to the individual.

Maybe it can be a word like "Homecoming" or a phrase like •Quiet for the morning bulletin" that can bring back memories of good times had by the people involved with the yearbook signing.

Whatever is printed, written or scribbled on the pages of this year's Eyrie can never compare with the memories (whether good or bad) of the four years we have experienced at South. The mind is like an old picture book with many different events popping up at some of the most unexpected times. Maybe the best and easiest thing that can be written in the 1976 yearbooks that can have the most vivid and varied thought are the words, "Remember when ..." Then let the memories do the rest for the reader.

Letter to the Editors Dear Editors of Southwords, As summer draws near, all thoughts turn towards happier pastimes than finals, etc. Plans are in the making for various activities, and no one considers , how quickly summer can become monotonous.

One thing that keeps ringing in „ my mind is all the emphasis that has been placed on the vandalism problem this year. I would venture to say that this vandalism is due in part to drudgery involved in coming to school every day. Vandalism is a way of getting a little excitement into the humdrum school routine When even summer becomes boring, kids will once again turn to vandalizing.

I'd like to see this problem stopped as much as anybody else, so 1 have a suggestion. Do something to solve the problem before it arises.

'They were a good ball club, they got all of their runs in the fifth inning, Brandt had a fine performance in the state tournament and the rest of the team played well, also, I'm proud of them."

In the conference games, Steve Malin went the distance in

both games. "He has now won three conference games in a row, " related coach Verber.

Against Niles North, he allowed two runs on three hits and struck out eight.
