Changes for the better at Southwest High School STORY BY KELLI JONES AND BECKY KITCHENS This year, things at South- west were really looking up. Besides the basic improvements to school facilities, like the fresh coat of paint on the lock- ers and the landscaping in front of Willingham B, the school spirit was outstanding. The fact that the sporting events were packed with roaring fans was enough to carry our Patriots to numerous victories, With the support of students, parents, staff, faculty members and ad- ministra- tion, Southwest was like a big family, always there to give one another encouragement.

HiIGHsgSCHOO FOOTBALL OPPONENT Proud to be a Patriot Story by Katrina King You had to be blind if you didnt notice the new and im- proved Southwest football team. It was a year of hard work for them. The team spent many long hours practicing and strategizing under the leadership of their new head coach, Maurice Freeman. The hard work paid off in the much-anticipated game against Northeast. Southwest walked , _ away with a 14-12 win, putting an end to a 19-game losing streak. The fans couldnt have been more excited. Senior NaTasha West said, This years football team has made me proud to be a Patriot. Above left: Freshman Kurtarius Green celebrates Southwest's win over Northeast with a proud cheer.

Managers Are an Essential Part of a Winning Team Story by Karyn Dinkins This year in football was very exciting. A lot of things were differ- ent from last year: different coaches, different players, and a lot of different managers. Last year, only four coaches and four managers directed and supported the team: this year, eight coaches and seven managers steered and supplied backup. The job of manager is an extremely difficult, every day job. Some of the tasks include: wrapping and taping injuries, keeping the guys in line, dealing with the equipment, and keeping the guys hydrated. Im going to miss having Coach Daniels yell, Water! during the games, said freshman manager Daniel Epps. 16 The two things I will miss most, said junior Karyn Dinkins, are the long talks in the clothroom and the feeling | got the first time we won. But dont worry, the managers will be back next year to keep our football team in order.

Many other bands have tried to imitate these moves, but they could never do it like Southwest. The Southwest Marching Band has marched in the Mardi Gras parades in Mobile, Alabama, the Atlanta Christmas Parade and the Cherry Blossom Parade. When we perform, we feel like stars, said senior flute player & 3 a4 a & ae & & ~s aB me Vv z oop = ~ Folayan Askew. Elizabeth Worthy, a freshman, wrote a descriptive paper about her first year in the band. When I stepped onto the field--excited, but nervous--I could smell the dirt and remembered Mr. Jacksons words: Drive! I always felt good after the shows because I knew we had performed our best.

Concert Band/Jazz Band Photo by Bernicia Spain Concert Band Expands Members Experience Story by Keisha Lowe Southwest has been known for its Marching and Jazz Bands, but not many people have recognized it for its Concert Band. This band performed when football season was over. Concert Band members used prior time to prepare for their performances at the PTSA-sponsored Christmas Concert and at Concert Festivals. Junior alto saxophone player Natalie Matthews and junior percussionist Nicholas Walker agreed that they enjoyed being in the Concert Band because it, exposed us to different types of music. Whos That Girl With the Fiery Baton? Story by Keisha Lowe The girl that dazzled your eyes at Friday night football games was Amber Rhyne. She began performing with the Southwest Marching Band in the eighth grade. Amber said, Twirling with the band has increased my love of being an entertainer. Amber considered performing with the band a once in a lifetime opportunity, which opened many doors. Among other experiences, twirling gave her the chance to visit Peru with a group of twirlers from the United States. If nothing else, Ill always remember the guide- line that Mr. Jackson has taught me to perform by: If you're going to do something, do it correctly and do it with every ounce of determination you have. For five years, Amber has been amazing Friday night football crowds with a twirling routing that includes tossing as many as three blazing batons into the air. Photo by Keisha Lowe Photo by Robert Wilson Southwest Jazz Ensemble Always Smooth Story by LaKeisha Lowe The highly acclaimed Southwest Jazz Ensemble has kept its reputation through the years as being one of Bibb Countys finest. It was com- posed of dedicated, talented musicians. Under the direction of Oscar Jackson, the band performed at Central City Park, as pictured, and at other occasions, such as the PTSA-sponsored Christmas Concert, the Ebony Fashion Show and the Macon City Auditorium. Also on the schedule was shows at a variety of local elementary schools. It takes a lot of dedication and practice to become the best, said senior tenor saxophone player Robert Wilson.

Photo by Robert Wilson Southwest choir program welcomes Mr. Mills as new director STORY BY JOY LUCAS Mr. Jimmy Mills was born in Macon, or the hood as he calls it. He attended Ballard B High School, where he sang in the choir. It was not until high school that he decided to major in music, but because of the influence of Ms. Driskell, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Robert L. Scott, Mr. Mills decided to do so. After graduating from high school, Mr. Mills attended Ft. Valley State, where he majored in music. After college, he decided to join the army. While in the army, he attended Texas AME Community Service Center and sung in the Stout Hearted Mens Choir. He was also a member of the U.S. Army Band, in which he played the trumpet. Mr. Mills was married to Mrs. Fluorine Howard shortly after he retired from the army. They have three girls, Sharon, Evette, and Vanessa, and now have a grandson named Lance. He attended Georgia College, Georgia State and the University of Minnesota after getting married. When he finished his work there, he started working at Ballard Hudson Middle School, where he taught chorus for 20 years. Give me a student with a good average and a good mind, and I will make them a good musician, Mills said. In 1998, he started teaching at Southwest High School. Mills said that he enjoys working under Mrs. Fowler, and if he lives another 11 or 12 years, he will still be at Southwest. His goal for the year 2000 is for Southwest to be the best.

Varsity and JV Cheerleaders keep the home crowd in the game STORY BY NICHOLE HIKE The Southwest cheer- leaders did an outstanding job this year. Bringing spirit to all the games by trying to get the crowd involved was only half of what really when on. These girls had spirit and it came from inside. IT am very proud of the cheerleaders, said varsity cheerleading captain Natasha Lane. The girls have really improved since the last school year. We have enjoyed spreading a little Southwest spirit and we plan to continue show- ing our Patriot pride for years to come. Ms. Bryant, the cheerleading sponsor, was appreciative of the support given her by others. Its been trying. Some- times I wanted to cry. I want to thank Tasha Lane for being a great captain; if it was not for her dedica- tion, we would not have been as successful as we have been. [I also want to thank] Ms. Barbour for being so cheerful, Tamika Thomas for being a dedi- cated manager, and the girls for their spirit. It really makes you proud to be a Patriot. This year the cheer- leading squad had grown compared to years past. They even expanded the squad for basketball season.

By the end of the year, the team was down to one swimmer, but that did not stop Southwest from winning and breaking school records. Amber really enjoyed competing with students from other high schools. Its great to be able to go to competitions and meet new people, she said. [Competition] builds character. After all, its not about winning, its about maintaining good health and having fun. Under the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Akin, the Southwest swim team practiced at Northside Swim Club on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thurs- days from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Our second season with a swim team was a good year, said Mr. Akin, who assisted his wife in coach- ing the team. School records were broken in the backstroke and 100-meter freestyle. Hopefully the swim team will get more talented Southwest athletes each year.

Another team member, Candace Peck said, There is no I on the team. Meaning, that no one person wins games. It is team work that wins games. The team has set its standards high for next season.

Come rain or shine, these boys practiced two hours every day after a full day of school, and show- ed no sign of slacking.

Southwest softball team overcomes setbacks to have a fun season STORY BY KASEY EAVENSON AND BRANDI BUSH The southwest softball team had a tough season, says Coach Andy Wright. We started the year off with a 3-0 record, but due to certain circumstances the team had to make tremendous adjustments. The team lost its starting pitcher, Jamie Hunnicutt. This put the team in a real bind because she was the only accurate pitcher on the team. In spite of this and other setbacks, the players on the team appreciated their chance to play. The team had to adjust a little, but I still had a great time playing this year and hanging out with my friends, said Becky Kitchens. I really enjoyed playing this year, said Brandi Bush. I had a lot of fun and cant wait until next year. Among the benefits of playing sports lessons about hard work and playing as a team. It has been a real learning experience I wont forget, said Kelli Jones. I hope we have just as much fun next year.

Even though this might have looked bad, the team made great improve- ments over the season. The team had a large collection of first-time players who were just learning the basic skills of tennis. Playing tennis never crossed my mind before, said Kasey Eavenson. I had to make a big adjustment not to hit the tennis ball like it was a softball. Having many new, young players would mean a powerful tennis team in the seasons to come. We have the entire boys team return- ing and over half the girls will be playing next year, said Coach Hill. As a whole I feel that the team did a wonderful job. It was a good learning experience for the newcomers and also a challenge for the veterans, she said. I believe next year we ll be stronger and hope- fully we will be more competitive. The two team captains, India Rollins and Marques Wright, made a great effort to teach the newcomers the ropes of tennis. Their leadership helped shape the team.

Coach Daniels, who comes to South- west each day after finishing up at the Alternative School, led the team with assistant Coach Wright. T think this was a rebuilding year, said athletic director Coach Freeman. This program has a lot of potential and we expect good upcoming years. The team was young, with only two seniors and mostly sophomores. In spite of this, they finished the season with a better record than last year. I think that the baseball team had a very productive year, said sopho- more Isaiah Simmons. The athletes are now realizing that it takes hard work to make a better program. And hard work was what the season was all about. In addition to their game schedule, the team practiced five days a week for two hours each day. Edward Simmons was named the teams MVP.

Todays students are tomorrows millionaires STORY BY DECA DECA is a club that focuses on business, especially marketing. The clubs purpose is to expose students to the various aspects of the business world. It covers different topics ranging from what to say during a job interview to which careers will have the most openings in the near future, as well as which will be most lucrative financially. The club works to make students more successful in the job market after they graduate from high school. Todays students are tomorrows millionaires, said Mr. Bates, the clubs advisor. Another aspect of DECA has to do with the work program at Southwest. Every member of the club is also an employee somewhere in the community. The club aims to get its members as much work experience and job skill training as possible now in order to make the job choices of tomorrow easier for them. A great benefit of this is receiving credit in school for actual outside school employment. DECAs president, Candace Peck, said that DECA began with a clean slate this year with a new advisor, officers, and members. Mr. Bates idea about his students participation was simple: Dont settle for anything less than your best.

This year, the club participated in the Fall Leadership Conference that was help in Atlanta. The purpose of the conference was to improve student leadership skills. After this state convention, the club hoped to go to the national convention in Orlando, FL. Fall Leadership was a very educational experience, said Michelle Davis. We were taught the necessary skills in order to be successful in the business world. We were in a very professional- like atmosphere, which encouraged us to pursue the work field. There were sessions at the conference for everyone who held an office as well as members at large. These sessions helped us to acquire good leadership skills in order to make our position as an officer or a member worth while, Davis said. FBLA also participated in a regional business competition with other schools and held FBLA week in the second week of February. FBLA is a club that helps you prepare for the future, said Teresa Outley. Ever since Ive joined it, it has made me become a more mature and responsible person.

The organization also gave its members project leadership, planning, coordinating and organizing opportunities. I would have to say our motto is: Making our school an experience to be proud of, said Mr. Oakley, the councils advisor. The two biggest events Student Council sponsored during the year were Homecoming activities and two blood drives. They also helped plan pep rallies and other events which encouraged school spirit. Student Council was in charge of the junior and senior class spirit bulletin boards along with the marquee on Williamson Road. We keep the school looking good by putting up bulletin boards in the halls and making signs for games, said Georgina Lockett, junior class treasurer. At the end of the year, Student Council put on the annual Spring Fling. Student Council blood drives compete with fear and myth STORY BY KEISHA LOWE Are you scared to give blood?

Mr. Oakley, the Student Council advisor, said he was disappointed in the turnout. However, he had hope for the blood drive during second semester due to the rise of people < the right age. For students still nervous about giving blood, Bridgette Grayer, the Student Council president, offered words of comfort. There is nothing to be afraid of about giving blood, Grayer said. You only feel a pinch, and it y helps other people in the long run. Teens Against Pregnancy provides a much-needed message for today STORY BY NICOLE CARTER AND JOY LUCAS The Teens Against Pregnancy/ Vision*Image*Power program pro- vided monthly educational, social, and service activities that encouraged teens to complete their high school education without becoming parents, using alcohol, or using drugs. TAP was an outstanding and inspiring organization. The club members helped look out for one another and for society. The spirit of the club will carry on for a lifetime and I wish it a pros- perous future. said club manager Jason Walker. TAP monthly service projects included sponsoring the Red Ribbon Week Essay Contest, carrying out a canned good drive, preparing baskets for nursing home patients, distributing Toys for Tots at the Booker T. Washington Center, and collecting jackets for the Jacket Bank. TAP members also had fun this year. They attended a Valentines Day dance and a black history program, participated in the Cherry Blossom Parade, had a worship service at Steward Chapel AME Church, and had a black college campus tour. The club also took field trips to various museums, Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Falcons games, and attended area theatrical pro- ductions.

The purpose of the club is to provide vocational education opportunities to Southwest students. VOCA is basically the only club that is primarily for ninth graders, said club advisor Mrs. Hankinson. Under her leadership, the club grew tremendously this school year. I believe its because of every- thing we were able to do last year: pizza parties, field trips, VOCA contest in St. Simons and a club trip to Six Flags. VOCA also strives to provide all activities at no additional charge to its members. When asked what she liked about being VOCA sponsor, Mrs. Hank- inson said, I love the members. They are so appreciative and their excitement is contagious!

The clubs advisors, Ida Jordan and Mary Glover, and the officers planned many projects to help Southwest and he community. They also made sure that Southwest was represented at state conferences. Y-Clubs purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home and school, high standards of Christian tharacter. Throughout the year, Y-Club did a great deal for the school. They decorated lunchrooms for Halloween, hanksgiving, and Christmas. They also bought and decorated the schools Christmas tree. The club also expressed the schools appreciation for the faculty at various times of the year. However, Y-Clubs ervice projects were not limited to just the school. The members completed several community projects. They gave candy to patients in the Childrens Hospital at alloween and they sponsored a family at Thanksgiving. Y-Club also sponsored a child on the Macon Telegraphs Wish list and donated some reading materials to a local hursing home. Club members attended two conferences this year. The first was a District Rally at Tattnal Square Academy in ovember. They other was a State Youth Assembly held in Atlanta in December. The club was successful in carrying out all of its projects. According to Jordan, we would not have been able to 1ccomplish so much if we did not have such hard working club members. Im very proud of them. The officers of Y-Club are: Folayan Askew, president; Vonetta Austin, vice president of membership; Donnelle Reid, vice president of programs; Katrina King, secretary; Tamika Thomas, treasurer; and Christie Jones, chaplain.

And for them Deathrow Drummers, I leave you all with my outrageous power of thunder and lack of intimi- dation of any other band or drum section in the nation. I, Natasha West, leave nothing to anybody. I am taking everything I brought, and a few things I didnt, with me when I leave Southwest High School. I, Jacinta Williams, leave to all underelassmen my style of dressing and my ability to ge in good with the teachers and staff. I, La- Tealhia Wimberly, leave my ability, to Octavius Wimberly my brother, to do better in whatever may come his way. I, Kenyada K. Woodley, leave my best friend Shasta and other my ability to keep people from getting the best of me, also, to look over things that may cause you future problems. 168: a. Natasha Lane, b.
