Kellys strive to blast blues Someone once said that along with the good, there has to come some bad. So it went tor the Archers in their day-to-day routine of tormal education. One of the dullest events, changing classes, became an experience. When 1490 students were trying to get to their classes at the same time, it was no longer a mundane thing; it became a fight for life! There were courses in the Kellys' schedules that were extremely difficult. Some students became so lost during a class discussion or lecture that they eventually lapsed into daydreaming. When that happened, all one could do was to await rescue by that electronic life- saver, more commonly known as the bell. If it were not for the anticipation of those cherished two days at the end of each week, existence would have been unbearable. Football games, sleeping, par- ties, and other weekend endeavors all helped to keep the sanity of South Siders from disappearing. Seniors, having been out in the world longer than underclass- men, find a way to beat the crowds. While Jon Fried thinks he's on a Out of gas? Lucky for Dave Bear and Dave Doherty that the school is so close. k X Students will always gripe about cafete- ria food, but they certainly are anxious to get their plate and begin. The ideas of a young mind are hard to understand. 14

After-school pace quickens Movies, books, and music played a big part in the students' life. They provided entertainment and relaxa- tion. A good book or album was a means of escape for hard-working Archers. The books that students read ranged from paper- back romances such as Journey to Love to those hor- ror stories written by Alfred Hitchcock. Music was found in various ways. One could flick on the radio and hear the top 30 or listen to favorite songs in lone contemplation. Live concerts were very popular America, The Guess Who, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, and several other groups came to either the Coli- seum or the newly remodeled Embassy Theatre. Music can be a private thing or the mainstay for a party. Movies were also a popular form of entertainment for dates or an empty Sunday afternoon. Jaws and the wacky Monty Python and the Holy Grail were two of the most visited ones. Oldies such as Gone With the Wind and Sound of Music were available for the nostalgic audience from South. Movie subjects ranged widely in an effort to have something for everyone. David Allen portrayed Judas In the scenes from Superstar dui mg the 1 975 Spring Variety Show. 16 Taking advantage o f the beautiful sum- mer day, senior Karen Swihart enjoys her- self on a see-saw. Teeter-tottering requires a solid posterior and a sense of balance. K
