Life at Home 'Relaxing' The night is typical of most evenings spent at home during the school year. You managed to do your home- work after school, and you've finally finished the dinner dishes. You're all set for a nice, relaxing evening in front of the T. V. But just as you turn on part two of a super movie, big brother walks in and chages the channel to the baseball game. A big argu- ment erupts over what show is going to be seen on the only television in the house. Finally, after at least 15 minutes and about an inning of the baseball game, your father decides he's had enough of this hollering and steps in. There's no doubt as to what the decision is going to be. So much for the movie. This has happened several times before, but this time you've reached your limit. So you complain and carry on and pout and make sure everybody knows your upset. Your dad, trying both to make you happy and also to get you to leave him alone, attempts to help you find something to do. Go do your homework, he suggests. I already have, you snap back in a tone that obviously aggravates him. Well, do some more, he yells. You've been slacking off on your homework lately. If you don't do your work and get good grades, you're never going to get into col- lege. And since he's your father and since this isn't exactly the first time you've heard this lecture, you agree to return to the books. Before he can say anything more, you make your way up to your room and put your favorite album on the stereo. You also open a book . . . just in case your father walks in. ▼Pete Skelly, junior, diligently works on his homework, a chore often undertaken by many Archer students.

Rain Won't Stop Eager Seniors ▼Jackson, Myers, and Stewart plant ivy near the school during the traditional event last year. Ivy Day was rainy last year, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the graduating seniors or of the underclass- men who were looking for- ward to the day they would be the ones to march down Calhoun and Oakdale. Ivy Day is one of South Side's finest and longest- standing traditions. The sen- iors have their own special day to march in the parade, elect a queen and her court, and have a program in the auditorium. The class of 1980's queen was Tanya Jackson. Her attendants were Chris Aber- nathy, Julie Athan, Robin Beasley, Bonnie Glass, Becky Snouffer, and Alice Worth- man. The seniors gathered in the auditorium, where class president Michelle Myers welcomed them. Andy Alatza, the master of cere- monies, then presented the queen's court. Michael Stew- art followed with the coro- nation of Ivy Day Queen. Dan Safran, Ivy Day ora- tor, talked for a few minutes, and then the senior choir sang The Ivy Song. Samuel Nunez then presented the ivy to Superintendent Lester Grile, who made an accept- ance speech. After the program in the auditorium was over, the senior class officers went outside and planted the ivy. A Tonya Jackson, Barbara Car- roll, Michele Myers, Jenni Erickson and Michael Stewart, seniors, lead the Ivy Day parade down Calhoun. AMany underclassmen watch the parade, even though it is raining during most of the cere- mony. 14
