f ou can’t change time and you certainly couldn't change the existancc of a diverse South High student life. We didn't confine our smiles to those playful hours after the bell rang at 2:05. Our need to laugh, giggle, and gossip could not be restricted to specific hours. During classes and between classes, students discussed weekend plans, exchanged notes, and whispered softly to their friends about their newest romantic intrests. Special school events helped to kindle the fire on student life. Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, and Snow Daze all acted as sponges, pulling the energy out of all of the students and slapping it against the walls of the school. During Homecoming week the walls were literally dripping with school spirit. Out of school, student life was more mysterious and widespread. Some students went Uptown and others went Downtown, in search of some action. Private parties and all too public parties were held. All of this activity was a welcome release from the pressures of school and home. There is no question that as we fought to grow older the things we did in our spare time changed us ... but you can’t change time.

Summertime We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . that all [people] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these arc Life. Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Thomas Jefferson left this list incomplete. He forgot to add SUMMER. But perhaps such an addition was unnecessary because perhaps summer IS the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If this is true it is a pity and possibly an insult to our forefathers that this unalienable right, summer, was granted to us for only 3 months out of the year. For these 3 months we could read good books rather than text books. We could see our friends for more than 5 minutes at a time. We could wander where we wished without a pass (see pictures). We could go to the bathroom when we wanted to (had to). We could study our opposites rather than geometry (or is there no difference). We could pursue what we see as happiness rather than what society sees as happiness. For 3 months we were free. Summer — it turns me upside-down.” Above right: Junior Matt Plctchcr has some fun in the Colorado snow. What is this picture doing on a summer page?
