▼ Pumping iron pays off. Brent Caroline, senior, shows that the countless hours of lifting keeps him muscular and flex — ible. Students Escape School Worries The alarm clock rings, and the Ar- chers drag out of bed. They hurry to get dressed and get organized before piling into the car or starting on the walk to school. The bell for first period rings, and their school day is started. From bell to bell, school commands students' lives. When the 2:35 bell releases them from school, there are clubs and homework and what seems to be an endless list of responsibilities. The clock becomes the focal point of many lives. With so much to be done when the clock shows free time, it's taken advantage of. It seems like I have no time at all. As soon as I finish one thing, there's another I'm supposed to start, lamented Senior Marianne Manning. Most free time is spent with friends. Getting together to see a game or just talking on the phone are popular ways to use free time with friends. A great deal of school time is spent in group activities, with little time for in- dividual expression; so many people em- phasize individual activities during their free time. Dancing, singing, play- ing musical instruments, listening to the radio, reading, writing and eating are just a few of the many ways free time is spent. When I get away from the busy schedule at school, I like to go running. It's really nice outdoors in nature, etc. It's really beautiful in Foster Park or just outside every season of the year, stated Amy Zoch, senior. Archers managed to find little free time, but what they had they appreciated. A Not just playing around. Heather Duemling junior, practices lines from a script for a play. She is involved in theatre in her spare time. ► Nice slice. Pete Gemmer, sophomore, shows off his Ping Pong playing abilities. Ping Pong is a popular recreational sport during free time. 18

The Main Problem: Finding Time Schoolwork, homework, work. Besides working on English composi- tions, proofs in geometry, and labs in physics, many South Side High School students also have jobs outside of school. Some Archers are involved with the distributive education program at South Side. A distributive education student receives credits for the courses taken at school in the morning and in addition, pay for his on-the-job training. Working at such places as McDonald's, Burger Chef, and Rogers Markets is very common. Students are usually hired for part-time purposes in such places. Between homework, ex- tracurricular activities, and a social life, a part-time job is all one can usually handle. Some students choose not to work outside of the school. One student sug- gests this idea, High school is a time for learning. I don't want my grades to suffer. Why do students get jobs? Some students aren't involved in many out- side activities; so they have the time. Most save for college, and others buy their first car. Others need spending money for dates, clothes, and food. A Denise Procise, senior, greets her customer with a friendly smile in the check-out lane at Rogers Market. A Work isn't all sour grapes . . . Rob Harber, junior, displays a bunch of grapes while working at Maloley's on Rudisill. ▲ What ... no more? Finally, putting the last bit of food into the Roger's grocery bags, David Mitchell, senior, stands in disbelief. 17
