Homelife Of South Siders Our parents teach us many things on our way to becoming independent adults. We were dependent of them since child- hood, but now we find ourselves slowly breaking away and trying to prove ourselves as individuals. We are making some important deci- sions and expressing our own views and opinions. Yet while we do this, our parents are here to give us advice, sometimes whether we like it or not, but for our own good. Should we go on to college? If so, where? Or maybe we should get a job and start a family. Decisions like these seem to be approaching sooner than most of us would care to think about. But we all have to decide because it's a part of grow- ing up and establishing ourselves. Of course, growing up isn't easy, but if we work hard, we can make it. In trying to find answers to these questions, we find our parents very valuable in pointing out directions. A. While holding his dog, Ted Oberley, junior, relaxes on his home steps after a day at school. B. Taking care of the lawn, Don Gana- way, junior, gets the yard in shape by trimming with an edger. 11

Good Times With Friends We all have close friends that are special to each of us in a different way. whether they are old friends we have known for years or new ones we have just made. Without our friends whom would we go out and get rowdy with on a night when nothing else is going on or after a game? Archers spend a lot of their free time cruising through McDonald's or Foster Park and going to par- ties. Some like to go bowling or maybe play a little Putt-Putt golf. Watching television, playing cards, listening to records, and going to movies are a few of the many things friends like to do in their spare time. Learning to get along with peo- ple and making friends are very important to our total learning experience at school. It is good to know we have the kinds of friends that will be there when we need them through thick and thin. We will always remember the wild and crazy things we did together and always treasure the lasting friend- ships we made at South Side. a A. Senior Scott Tindall and Junior Dawn Davis express their friendship while shar- ing a few moments together. B. Seniors Penny Johnson. (Toilette Berk- shire, Lori Davis, and Lori Benninghoff get a grand tour of Foster Park. C. With some friendly advice, Tanya Jackson, junior, shows Sophomore Sandy O'Shaughnessy how to comb her hair.
