South Harrison High School
held their annual Prom at the
4-H Center beside Rt. 19 on
May 11th, 2013. The Prom
was paid for and decorated
by the Junior class of South
Harrison High School. The
Junior class designed and
decorated the building very
well. The decorations were
based off the theme, “An
Enchanted Fairytale.”
While at the dance, there
was a wide variety of music
and snacks. (S/O to Mr.
Skiviat for pouring drinks!)
The night started off very
quickly, many of the people
attending the dance were
there an hour or so before it
even started. Many of the
senior and junior class offi-
cers attended the dance the
earliest, which is a great way
to show support of your
class.
In the middle of the dance,
the DJ introduced the Prom
Court of 2013. After brief
introductions, the court
chose their queen; it was
senior Darryan Ward. Her
King was senior Spencer
Shriver. The dance ended at
11:00 pm, and overall was a
big success. Everyone who
attended the dance received
a party favor as well.

suffered a great loss to Notre Dame on Thursday, May 9 which tossed them out of a chance at regionals. In total they lost 17 games and won 10 games. Head Coach Frank Tate commented “we are young and we are building for the future.” He also added “there are 16 returning ball players for next season.”

The 19 players on the baseball team of 2013 had a decent season of base-ball. In their last couple weeks of the season they played about 3 teams and they lost- but previous to that, they were doing okay. Sectionals allowed the team to remain hopeful; however, the Hawks
had to win two more games and then they get to go to states! These past few weeks had been very excit-ing and nerve-wracking for both baseball and softball teams here at SHHS. How-ever, last Thursday they played their game at Moore-field and lost 8-0. And now the softball season this year is over. It wasn’t a bad year
after all. They did their best and tried their hardest. Un-fortunately, SHHS’s softball team did not make it to states like they had hoped to, but they had a very good season despite some set-backs.
By Emilee Underwood
SHHS softball has had a pretty good softball season this year. They have 12 play-ers on their team. Two weeks ago they had a good game against Notre Dame. They won 13-0 in Sectionals and had been practicing hard all last week to prepare for their big game against Tygart's Valley. They only

He is no stranger to the Lincoln H.S.
Community. He was the head football
coach at LHS for nearly 10 years.
Mr. Lopez is a resident of Lumberport
and a father of four children. He is
looking forward to working in his own
community. He told the local paper
that he is excited, happy, and sad all
at the same time.
South Harrison faculty and staff are
not surprised by his decision to take
the opportunity to work in the school
system of his own community.
Students of SHHS are still processing
the fact that he will be leaving and a
new administrator will be taking his
place sometime during this summer.
South Harrison High School will have a
new principal starting this fall.
Changes like this occur all over Harri-
son County each school year.
South Harrison High School Principal
James Lopez will be taking the lead
administration position at Lincoln High
School. Harrison County Superinten-
dent, Susan Collins hopes to immedi-
ately fill the vacant principal position
at SHHS.
Mr. Lopez started at SHHS as an assis-
tant principal in 2008 and was then
named principal in 2009-10. He
taught at Gore Middle School for more
than 10 years and at Mountaineer
Middle School for several years.
This year’s juniors, Class of 2014 , will
probably be the most affected by his
departure. Many have commented
that they would have liked to have Mr.
Lopez as their principal during their
last year of high school. We say thank
you and all the best in your new posi-
tion.
Hail to thee our alma mater
Hail South Harrison High
Memories of once we were near thee
Never more shall die
Friends we are and friends we’ll always be
Until the end of time
Hail to thee our alma mater
Hail South Harrison High
There you’ve caused our joys our sorrow
While time has passed us by
Hail to thee our alma mater
Hail South Harrison High
