Itis changing your mind a dozen times be- fore making a decision or listening to announcements in homeroom. It's rushing for the cafeteria line, hearing the 3:20 bell, missing your ride home, or getting an Av on that big test. Itis winning a close football game or losing your gym supplies. It's neglecting to do your homework assign- ment or being the only one who did remember to do it. Itis a friendly chat with a teacher or forgetting your locker com- bination. Itis joy, sorrow, frustration, relief, anger, or pride. It's everyday, and it's South Side . . . To an Archer. A Table of Contents -i, , .f ur H . 'wa if '1 5, 1. 7? ,. ': -' g fix? 5 A ,, UQ!

A Days vary as do moods and capabilities, but each one is defined by the basic patterns that become so routine to an Archer over three years. Each is filled with fifty-five minute periods and five-minute breaksg each includes the necessity of a homeroom period and the privilege of an open lunch hour. And, the moments of opening and dismissal exist identically each day. Yet, class schedules can't design the friendships and events of a personis life.
