A True Friendship The school day begins and ends. Day to day is a struggle with exams, homework and classes. But there is something that keeps a person going. There is more to school than just the everyday routine. South is filled with a variety of people and personalities. Here anyone can find a friend. Without a joke, a smile, and a bit of laughter shared with a friend, it would be difficult to make it through the long days. But a friend isn't all fun and games. A friend is someone whom you can count on when you really need him there, when things don't go just right. Hours on the phone, endless evenings spent together, and countless secrets are all involved in a friendship. Whether it be one close relationship or many special friends, it is here that one finds smiles andw tears, joy, and pain. Imagine school without a giggle among friends, a note passing around the classroom, or someone holding hands. School just wouldn't be the same without all of these. At McDonalds, Pizza Hut, the movies, Links, or Electric Circus, one seldom sees an Archer alone. Traveling in groups is always more fun, as can be seen on a weekend night. I almost live with my friends, said Libby Leal, junior, There's no one else I'd rather spend my time with, but I guess that's why they're my friends! Her thoughts may be the same as many other Archers'. So look beside you. There you will find a friend. Though high school can't last forever, there is one thing that can. A true friendship never ends, no mat- ter how long the years become. 10

Hard Work Pays Off Seniors and underclassmen sported their Sunday best for one of the few Sundays spent at school. Whether each individual student was receiving an award or not, many South Side students and their parents attended the 1982 Recognition ceremony. Recognition Day is a time spent rewarding well-deserving students in areas in which the recipients prove to be outstanding. Theresa Jewett, senior, accepted the award for Valedictorian of the South Side 1982 class. Robert Toy, senior, shared in the honors as he received the Salutatorian award. Eleven senior students were nam- ed South Side Scholars by Mr. Jack Weicker, principal. Patricia Clark, Curt Inman, Tammy LaRue, Tim Manges, Jenny Marquart, Brian Mast, Tammy Mandez, Natalie Nunez, Tom Osha, Susan Stephen, and Jeff Trammel earned a three- year average of 95 percent or better. The top underclassmen were awarded honors for their individual academic achievements. These students were John Gevers, junior, Kathleen Clark, sophomore, and Ernest Stalnaker, freshman. After closing with the Alma Mater, the hard-w orking students departed. Many left filled with ambition because of the support they had been given. Clark commented, All the hard work seems a little more worth it after I've walked across the stage to receive my award. A Who's next? Schelgel, Anderson, Sauerwein, and Bleich, juniors, feel pride as they await the call of their own names. ► Pausing for a few moments to think over the significance of each award, Bob Toy, senior, gazes down at his trophies. 18
