Students Work to Make Money When walking into any store in the South Side area, one is almost certain to find a familiar Archer classmate smiling back at him. Whether at part-time jobs after school, on the week- ends, or during the summer, South Side students are found doing a variety of jobs, including gas attendants, receptionists, maids, bus boys, and grocery baggers. The economic conditions of the 80's are causing all expenses to rise. Due to this fact, teenagers are finding more of their friends hard at work rather than going out to a movie. Jobs are of great importance to a vast major- ity of students here at South, not only for the money to spend at the present but also to save for the future. Sara Gregory, junior, says that her job is helping her to learn to become self-suffi- cient and is teaching her how to handle money. Amy Rob- erts, senior, feels that saving money for college is her main goal in having a job. Jobs are a different experi- ence for each individual but prove to be a teaching method in developing char- acter and give students a chance to learn to handle responsibility.

Their pay for this was the audience's recogni- tion of their hard work and talents. According to Mr. Robert Kelly, sponsor, There is not another production like this in the city, and over the years it has earned tremen- dous community and school support. An Evening With, star- ring the advanced drama class, has become a tradition at South Side, but the 1980 performance had several dif- ferences. The first was, after weeks and weeks of prac- tices, a malfunction in the electrical system made it impossible to open on the original February date. The show was postponed until May. When the curtain rose on May 4 at 8:00 and the intro- duction of the cast began, one person important to the success of the show was not on stage. Andy Alatza, sen- ior, was ill and not able to perform. Jenni Erickson, senior, was sitting at her piano. She pro- vided the first live music for An Evening With perform- ance. The show included com- edy classics such as Sweet Charity, with Jenny Kern, senior, in the leading role; poetry reading by Denise Bratton, senior, Elaine Wil- liams, and Mike Clowers, juniors; South side's first Kazoo band; serious drama with Sheila Brewer, senior, and Amy Roberts, junior, giving a cutting from Strang- ers; music, and more. Other members of the advanced drama class who made up the cast were Julie Athan and Bob Vogt, seniors; Bizzie Bromley, Tessa Oster- meyer, Kim Campbell, Kurt Ehrman, Kelly Kahn, Marcia McCoy, Phil Pranger, and Scot Wesner, juniors. Kelly directed the play. I think every student that was in the show deserves a tremendous round of applause because of their hard work and professional- ism, Kelly commented.
