School adds unch mods Even with the addition ot two extra lunch mods, there were still many problems ot overcrowding in the form ot long lunch lines this year in the catetena. This was a problem for many students, tor they seldom had time for a lei- surely lunch in the short time allotted. For this reason, many more Archers were seen brown- bagging it. Students did find welcome relaxation at the new lunch tables which were purchased late last spring. Although the furniture was not new to many Archers, the setup of the tables provided the cafeteria with a much-needed face lift and made conversations eas- ier.

Study hall affected by changes With the over-abundance of new students this year, the one area that really felt cramped was the study hall. The room, espe- cially around the lunch mods, overflowed into the Greeley Room at the beginning of the school year until arrangements were made for a separate study hall in the auditorium. Due to the number of students, it was particularly necessary for faculty in charge to keep a sharp eye on discipline. They were in a rather unpopular position as far as many students were con- cerned, but in the end with many new rules and a lot of extra help, the students' atmosphere for studying benefitted. 16 Study hal

School If one were to make a log of the most important activities within the halls of South Side this year, the obvious topper would be the addition of the ninth grade. There were, however, many others. Although ground-breaking was delayed a number of times, the beginnings of a new girls' phys-ed facility were sighted behind the already standing structure. Another noted item of school trivia was the announced resig- nation of school superintendent, Lester Grile, effective at the end of the 1 980 school year. In sports, the teams muscled their ways to innumerable victo- ries, marked by overwhelming fan support. There was a fortunate rebirth of Hi-Y, accompanied by the initia- tion of Pre-game. These, as well as many scholas- tic triumphs, composed South's start of the new decade. Local This year saw a sharp increase in fuel costs as gas topped a dollar a gallon. Fort Wayne was surprised by the revitali- zation of old steam locomotive 765. With the election of a new mayor in November of last year, it would be difficult to overlook the effects that the new administra- tion had upon our city. Downtown revitalization was carried through, coupled with mass chaos. Rock concerts made a welcome come-back at the Coliseum. The Fort Wayne judicial system made its contribution to the news by both the drawn-out trial of Harry Ort and the controversial trolling remark made by Judge Herman Busse. There were more drug and por- nography raids made throughout the city, and the police force once again became associated with brutality and unfairness. Strikes at Harvester and Dana, and lay-offs at Zollner added fur- ther to Fort Wayne's gloom. All of these factors combined to make Fort Wayne a great place to be. f - a. .,. . ■.-»■ ■■■ • ■» ■ ■- - --i I »%• . ritod . L fSfTr M n . -. i 9 •,'? !' 5jm istf«£! 18 News
