Lots Of Spirit South's Tradition What is green and white and heard all over? South Side spirit! This spirit can be seen as well as heard at many different South Side functions. It is evident that the Archers are proud of their school and are willing to show their spirit at athletic events, pep rallies, and everyday activities. Spirit weeks give the Archer students a chance to have fun as they support their teams. Punk Rock Day, Lick-em Day, Dress-up Day, College-No-Sweat-Day, and the famous Crazy Green and White Day are some of the favorites. With the help of the cheerleaders, the spirit of the student body is arous- ed. This spirit inspires the com- petitors, instilling confidence and pride in representing their school. Nothing can satisfy an Archer more than a rowdy and exciting sports event. The enthusiasm of the crowd is carried by the athletes into the competition. Everyone enjoys a victory, but the Archers never let a loss affect their pride. Over the past year, Archer spirit has dominated when the Archers won the Totem Pole for the second year in a row from North Side High School. Another time, the spirit of the Ar- chers was a major factor in gaining a hard-fought victory over Snider High School as the Archers went on to become the S.A.C. tennis tournament champions. Whether it is the attitude one takes, the clothes one wears, or the cheers one yells, spirit is a necessary asset in keeping South Side's tradition of excellence. ▲ Kathleen Clark, Debbie Fogel, Buffy Schaab, and Jennifer Graham, juniors, display their spirit on Punk Rock Day. ► Showing their spirit and enthusiasm, two Ar- cher cheerleaders, Alisa Thompson and Yvonne Tucker, juniors, smile together to the onlooking crowd. 10

Experience Gained On The Job A majority of South Side's students hold down part-time jobs after school and on weekends. These jobs provide the money needed for Archers to at- tend various events throughout the week and on weekends. To some of the students, their job helps to relieve some of the expenses of college. Our city offers a wide variety of jobs for high school students. Some of these jobs include working for restaurants like McDonalds and Piz- za Hut, grocery stores like Rogers and Krogers, gas stations, and clothing stores. Some Archers even have the opportunity of working outdoors. Not only are students earning money, but they are also learning what it takes to be responsible enough to hold down a job. This op- portunity to learn is a great ex- perience for young people. It helps a student learn how to handle respon- sibility and how to handle money. Knowing these will be a big help for future reference. Above all, the most important factor of having a part-time job is learning to work with and deal with all different kinds of people. Dealing with the kinds of people we do not know is a task that can only be learned through on the job experience. ?J i k. You look pretty big.
