Student body returns One of the most difficult things for a student to do at the end of a long summer is to return to the routine of school. As hard as it may seem, most students adapt to the hard life of school within the first week or so. The biggest problem is setting aside time for the never-ending flow of homework. Because of this homework, a home routine is started. One goes home after school and begins diligently to work on one's assignments. By the time one's seemingly small amount of work is done, the hands of the kitchen clo ck read 1 1 o'clock. Many South Side students work, which further complicates things. The hardest routine to adapt to is the one during the school day itself. Going to the same classes day after day begins to get a bit monotonous. There are many good points in returning to school. One gets the chance to associate with friends who have not been seen during the summer. If one's summer was boring, school provides the chance to do something with one's life. Returning to school after sum- mer vacation has both good and bad aspects. One has to return to the daily school routine, but there is also the renewal of old friend- ships. Senior Laura Ochoa and Junior Alicia Hamblin help out in the Student Service Center during a free period. 6 School routine

Friends share bonds Delwyn Logan, junior, and Lisa Baker, sophomore, share a hilarious moment together in the cafeteria. Weekends are one of the essen- tial elements in a South Side stu- dent's life. These two important days are the difference between life and death, sanity and lunacy for many Archers. Without Friday night, Saturday, and Saturday night, many Archers would not last through the long work week. Weekends are the best times for socializing, usually after Archer football and basketball games. Many friends gather at Mc Don- ald's, Pizza Hut, and Noble Roman's to discuss completed games, gossip, or to find out where any parties may be. Other students spend time playing Putt- Putt golf, bowling, or just cruising around Foster Park. These nights are the ones most fondly remem- bered by many. Weekends are not the only times that people get to see friends. Periodically throughout the year, South Side students will attend rock concerts at the Coli- seum with friends. Dinner may be eaten with companions, and time is often spent with friends doing school projects such as research papers and hour-longs. All in all, the friendships made at South will never be forgotten; and the times that were spent with these friends will be regarded as the best times of our lives. Friends 5
