Time For Work, Pleasure . . . Through my work at the Bottom Half. I have learned a lot about retailing and advertis- ing, which 1 feel will be very use- ful in my career in marketing. Lisa Hammond explained why she spends an average of 30 hours a week at her job. Not all Archers are preparing for their future in the halls of South Side. In fact. DECA offers credit for outside jobs. . . . Such activities as dance, speed skating, or part- time jobs are helping to expand the experiences of Archers . . . Coming in contact with many types of people at a restaurant or supermarket certainly provides a good experience . . . Unfortu- nately, many students feel that not all teachers understand the extent of everyone's outside activities; they think that their class of extra-curricular activity is the only one . . . But most stu- dents manage to successfully combine schoolwork and what- ever outside interests they may have. A. Speed skater junior Gary Beam coasts his way to the finish line and the reward- ing state championships. B. During a jam session. Steve Fox, sen- ior (center) and juniors Mark Forbing and Jamie Fyfe practice. C. An interested student in theater, junior Wesley Couch devotes much time to busy work at the Civic Theater. D.

Peace Talks I Headline News To most South Side Archers, the outcome of the North South basketball game seemed much more significant than world affairs. However, the out- side world did have its effect on us, and some history was made in 1977-78. . On the home front, many citi- zens and congressmen thought that James Earl Carter pushed a little too hard. He tried to take a stand on the Panama Canal treaty, the energy bill, reverse race discrimination and other controversies . . . while Con- ; gress looked on most disap- provingly. Carter entertained at home and negotiated abroad, attempting a fresh new open- ness in American government. Other pe ople in the world made the headlines as well; Anwar Sadat went to Jerusa- lem, Queen Elizabeth cele- brated her Silver Jubilee, Far- rah departed from the Angels, and Reggie Jackson batted three series-winning homers. Anita Bryant stirred up more than orange juice with her ultra- conservative stand on gay rights, while Johnny Rotten and the now-disbanded Sex Pistols kept censors busy in Britain. We lost many of our cultural heroes this year, including Bing Crosby. Guy Lombardo, Elvis Presley, Groucho Marx, and Charlie Chaplin. Television addicted more of the masses.: and we learned that nearly everything ingestible. including saccharine, causes cancer. 1977-78 was a time to accept the energy crunch and enjoy . skiing and snow, jogging and the Natural Look. But mostly, the North South bas- ketball name. , ; The Canal Panama THE WHI GONE FISHING SALT jfc t FOCUS ON THE FLU Saccharin Ban 18
