Teachers, instructors, coaches, and the nurse attribute this to effort. This year the students did better than ever before, and it's because they wanted to, Principal jack E. Weickersaid. Chris Sanderson, senior, said, South Side pride and respect have taken a huge leap forward this year. Through the effort of hundreds of involved students, South Side has, at last, become the school it has always had the potential to be. This attitude spread, and soon we were giving it our all. Encouraging each other to push for the perfect became a daily routine. The good habit of giving our all paid off. We found that what we gave the school.

We pat ourselves on the back for successful athletic seasons, a spectacular speech season, and a marvelous marching band year. We did our best to be our best as a school and as individuals. Separately we can say, Nothing's halfway aoout me. Together we can say, Nothing's halfway about South Side.

As we participate in these activities and meet new people, we find pieces of ourselves in others. Through these people we call friends, we learn to laugh, to cry, and to love. Because of these people, we are able to grow. To all students, relationships between friends are one of the most important aspects of their high school career. High school is complete with friends who share a locker, write notes to each other, and lend mone - to each other or lend a shoulder to cr - on. High school is a turning point in our lives. Xo longer are we children cared for by our parents, and yet we are not adults providing for ourselves. We turn to, depend on. and look after one another because only we can understand the confusion of our peers. We are a different generation suffering unique pain and experiencing unparalleled jov.

Micki filled my locker with shaving cream, and I still haven't gotten her back yet, Shane Younker, sophomore, said of his older sister, a senior. South Side is Fort Wayne's only all walk-in high school. Due to this policy, families have been establishing themselves here for generations. Family pride, spirit, unification, and especially family tradition have shaped life at South Side for the past sixty-three years. My grandparents went to this school and sent their children to South Side. Naturally I'm here, Todd Morley, junior, said. Brothers and sisters are often a sup- port system for each other. Mitty really helps me with my athletic performance. She writes me notes on the da y of the game, and after the football game is over, she runs down on the side line to congratulate me on a win. If we lose, Mitt ' will even give me a hug when I am sweatv' and in low spirits, |eff Livensparger, junior, said of his freshman sister. All sisters and brothers are not ideally so chummy. When Beth was a freshman, I decided I would be a good sister and stoop down to actually talk to her at school. Now she tells me I ruin her image. It's hard to be reduced to Beth's sister, especially when I'm the older one, Anne Felger, junior, said of Beth, a sophomore. Robbie Sinninger. senior, said of the relationship he has with his sister. Heidi, who is also a senior, When you have grown up with a sister in the same grade, you learn to become individuals and independent of each other. Other- wise, students as well as teachers will think that you both are just alike and never see the real 'ou. A more common attitude that a big brother projects about his little sister is one that expresses to others what a bother his kid sister is. Fortunately, we hardly see each other. Besides, my sis would beat me up if I e 'er embarrassed her in front of her friends. Rodney Cavender. junior, said about his sister Lynn, a sophomore. Is that what Rodney is really saying? There are many family codes that ap- ply to how siblings treat each other in school. However, the two who avoid each other in school in order to follow some frivolous social code (It's cool to crack on your sister.] will turn to each other when problems arise at home. Usually I only turn to Lynn for sup- port if I've gotten into a fight with my mom or dad. She talks to me if she's mad at our parents We usually take each other's side, Cavender said of his sister. We talk about what happened at school or football or band practice. We've never really had a serious pro- blem, but if we do, I hope |eff trusts me enough that he feels he can talk to me if anything is wrong, Kelly Daughtn.. senior, said of her brother Jeff, a junior. People like to hear about brothers and sisters who get along. They are much more fun to be around than those brothers and sisters who ignore or put each other down. Family quarrels at school make everyone uncomfortable. It's great to know brothers and sisters are capable of liking each other. My sister is ver ' independent, and she probably doesn't need an older brother watching over her. but watching her as a freshman brings back memories of my freshman year. I don't ha e time to talk to Mitr after school, but I always hope she is having a good day. Big Livensparger said. And Little Livensparger added. Jeff and I are really close. When I have pro- blems, he helps a lot because he knows where I'm coming from. We're both good at cheering one another up. I think he's the greatest brother in the world, and I hope he knows it. Thank goodness for . . . Brothers!

Master of Ceremonies, introduced the hy Da ' Queen and her Court. Shawn Fincher presented the new sprig of i 'y to Superintendent Bill C. Anthis who then made his acceptance speech. The ceremony ended with all who attended joining in to sing the Alma Mater. The Senior Class Officers were given the privilege of planting the ivy as a good-bye to South Side High School from the graduating class of 1984. Because Ivy Day is celebrated only by South Side, it is an especially mean- ingful day for seniors. Susan Felger, senior, said. Ivy Da ' will be one of the most wonderful memories I will have of South Side. The parade made the seniors realize that our four years had actually ended. At the same time it let us understand that South Side would always be in our memories. All underclassmen look forward to Ivy Day. No one can understand the feelings the seniors have at the time of graduation. Because underclassmen can't imagine these feelings. Ivy Day is given an almost fairy-tale quality.

Some see it as a controllable situation. At South Side, relationships seem to grow freely between all races. To almost every stu- dent concerned, color of the skin has nothing to do with the social position a person holds. Many students are able to look past the exterior and focus on the feelings and emotions that lie inside. Alfredo Perez, senior, stated, To me. ■N if a person has the same interests as I do and is fun to be around, that is a true friend. Fortunately, most people seem to realize that the struggle for survival isn't a battle between races. Karen Nichols, senior, summed it up when she said. There really isn't a dif- ference between races, we're all in this together! To most people the conflicts between people aren't caused by color but are caused b ' differences in character. Keith [ones, senior, stated, People seem to be getting tired of fighting, and they're starting to give each other respect. Of course, there are some disrespectful people in all races, Hopefully, through the pride and respect we have for one another and for our school, others in the communitN' will see us as we really are. Many people look up to South Side The surroundings and people are great South Side will always be an admirable school. Gerald Lamb, junior, said. There may be differences amoung the races, but there are discrepancies within members of ever - race. Let's striw together to live in perfect harmony. We are born with color and acquirt prejudices.

While most of us would resent being classed as children, the zoo will always be a fun place to visit for young and old alike. On a breezy Sunday afternoon in September, a group of South Side students made a trip to the zoo to meet all the wild animals. The first animal encountered was an ocelot, a medium-sized, American wildcat having a grayish coat that is dot- ted and striped with black. Annoyed at being caged, the cat paced the floor. Ocelots resemble some of the students at South Side. The students made faces at the monkeys, talked with the birds, croaked at the seals, rode the ponies, and toured the African Veldt. The most popular place turned out to be the barnyard. Archers mingled with zookeepers, chickens, and parents tak- ing pictures of Baby's first day at the zoo. Archers fed baby lambs with bot- tles while the nanny goats pulled and chewed on the students' shoestrings. If an Archer tired of the goats' attentions, he could break away to pet one of the gentle deer. The afternoon was full of laughter and, of course, full of animals, too. When the students left their newly- made friends, they left knowing Fort Wayne has a lot to offer, and one of the more fun, lighthearted ways to spend an afternoon is to get a group of friends together to make a trip . . . To The Zoo.

Because of upbringing, embarrassment, confusion, or other discomfort, proper etiquette when talk- ing doesn't include God. Because of peer pressure, people don't want to talk about God. I don't know why. When a really religious per- son talks to me, it feels weird — a feeling I can't explain, Rod Ahlersmeyer, sophomore, said. There are so many different religions and views. Some people get ver ' defensive. They're hard to talk to, David Best, senior, said. Some feel nervous at the mention of a religious topic. Others experience com- fort when friends share religious views. )enny Rooks, junior, said, Students don't relate to religion easily because religion involves things they can't hear or see or touch. They don't understand a lot of the concepts. More and more, students are beginn- ing to talk about their feelings. Some may hesitate at first, but gradually they begin to share their beliefs. Today, sincere conversations concerning religion can be heard at lunch rooms, on telephones, and at slumber parties. When students find the ' are not alone in their understanding of religion, things become easier. They now can deal with their own doubts or misunderstandings. Students discover sometimes it helps to i talk things out with peers. Roxanne Wattley, senior, explained, Contrar ' to popular belief, as an agnostic, I do not feel threatened when discussing my beliefs with others whether they be of patriotism, religion, or another social concern. The best thing about South Side is that as an in- dividual, we are not punished or criticized for our beliefs. We are en- couraged to form beliefs of our own choice, and that is something I will owe the school for the rest of my . . . 16— Beliefs Florence Fresnault, senior, converses with Alan ferences she, as an exchange student, has seen Kuhn, freshman, Ron Wise, senior, and Matt Rice, in the United States in comparison to France. phoio freshman, all P.K.'s.

Night's Dream, the theme for the 1984 lunior-Senior Prom, fit the at- mosphere of the dance precisely. Every :ouple seemed to be Hving their dreams. The one reason that made all of these dreams become realities was the ideal setting for the formal. The Botanical Gardens. Chris Wesnpr, junior, commented, I enjoyed having the prom at the Botanical Conservatory because there was a lot of room for everyone, and it leeded very little decoration. The floral -olors were truly exquisite which added he final touch to make an elegant evening. The Botanical Gardens was a roman- ic background for the prom. The three rooms were a fantasy land to walk hrough. Hundreds of flowers were ad- mired in the gardens. In the tropical room couples viewed the magnificent indoor waterfall, and in the arid room ihey were able to wander through many cactuses. Senior Rhonda Tagtmeyer stated, The decorations were colorful, which added to the unique scenery at the Gardens. The setting was a night filled with closeness, fun, and love for everyone who attended. End Game provided terrific musical entertainment. They allowed for an easy-listening, easy to dance to mood that everyone enjoyed. Around one o'clock in the morning most couples were ready for some fast paced dancing. The after-prom was held at Pelz Reception Hall. At the after-prom couples enjoyed a variety of pop music. Rachel Hewett, senior, said, I really enjoyed the gardens. It gave everyone a lot of space to wander around in. It was also fun seeing our friends all dressed up in their formals.

Kaufman, the 1984 senior play, is about the only place where a typewriter, a xylophone, an aquarium full of snakes, a printing press, and fireworks can all be found in the same room. Only the Sycamores, a family of fun-loving eccentrics who live together in peaceful chaos, could possibly struc- ture a life revolving around such nonconformity. The senior play was directed for the first time by Mr. [ed Freels, who was formerly a student teacher for Mr. Robert Kelly. The plot revolves around the romance between Alice Sycamore (Rachel Hewett] and Tony Kirby (Chris Sander- son), the son of the richest man in town. Throughout the play the young couple's future happiness is threatened by their families. Complications arise when Alice's parents. Penny Sycamore (Susan Laker] and Paul Sycamore (tine Zim- merman], and Martin Grandpa Vanderhof (Scott Morris) meet the stuffy Mr. Kirby CVince Kear] and Mrs. Kirby (LaQuan Norman). The cast committed their lives to the play for four hectic weeks, eating, drink- ing, and even dreaming the Senior Play. The final week was the busiest. Cast members gathered at school on a free Monday to build the set for perfor- mances the following Friday and Satur- day, November 16 and 17. After the set was built, the cast en- dured a three-hour dress rehearsal. Dress rehearsals followed every night until the performances. Although a few grades may have suf- fered due to a lack of concentration, it was generally felt to be an experience worthwhile. I enjoyed the experience immensely because it gave me a chance to interact You Cant Take with other senior students that I didn't know previously, said Eric Zimmerman. I am glad that I was able to perform in the senior play. It was an experience I'll never forget. said Ken Perkins. The play, basicalh' a comedy, did have a moral that was presented in an exaggerated way. Throughout the play, it became evident that the Sycamore household did whatever it felt like do- ing, and once Mr. Kirby appeared on the scene, it didn't take long for his views to clash with those of Grandpa's. In a discussion with Mr. Kirby about how much pain the life of a corporate executive was causing him. Grandpa summed up the play when he said, Why not give up your business?

Kim Barnett, senior, said, The talent show was a very enlighten- ing experience. There was a lot to learn as far as blocking and acting was con- cerned.

George Orwell's totalitarian spectre novel is going to remain a fiction book— not a history book of 1984. We didn't have Big Brother always looking over our shoulders, and we didn't have that mixed-up language called doublespeak where wrong means right. We did, however, have the White House call the Grenada invasion a pre- dawn vertical insertion, and get a load of this, the State Department referred to the killing of innocents by representative regimes as the deprivation of life. South Africa and Chile (both U.S. clients) became more and more repressive. On a more local scene, two Faith Assembly couples were convicted of letting their children die while relying only on prayer to cure them and shunning treatment by doctors. But on a more positive note (Hmmmm . . . ooo, seems to be a bit flat.), William Schroeder received the world's second ar- tificial heart during an operation in a Louisville, Kentucky hospital. Life for Baby Fae was prolonged for 20 days as a result of a con- troversial heart operation involv- ing a baby baboon's heart. The first black Miss America, Vanessa Williams, was forced to give up the Miss America title as a result of nude photos of her surfac- ing soon after she won the crown. Miss Libert ', being 98 years old. disappeared behind a curtain of scaffolding to have an overhaul done on the inside and out to the tune of 30 million dollars. She will return to view on July 4, 1986. 1984 was a tough year for many people — no question about it — but wasn't the weather nice? It was a glorious summer, not to mention a mild fall season with record- breaking temperatures. In early '84, Clara Peller brought fame to the Wendy's commericals by ask- ing the immortal question: Where's The Beef? This was on- ly to be sequeled later in the year by Parts is Parts!

September 7 frantic freshmen searched round and round for their first period classes only to find they should have headed for their homerooms. Finding our classrooms is only the first step in a successful academic year. Unfortunately student does not mean one who studies. For some it was enough to show up in class as few times as possible and to do just enough work (cheating included) to slip by from one year to the next. Sadly, or maybe it was for the best, some South Side at- tenders didn't slip far enough. The m.ajorit ' of Archers not only found their rooms but actually sat attentively with minds open to the information fed to them through books, teachers, and fellow students. This year students were limited in learn- ing experiences. According to Governor Robert Orr, a moratorium was placed on field trips, guest speakers, school assemblies, and pep sessions. Sometimes education gets in the way of learning. Although some of us resented this new rule, we adjusted because our education is important. Learning isn't everything, but it comes so naturally. Why resist it? Each year students aquire more knowledge and share that knowledge with others. We must always enjoy learning because when we lose joy in learning about our own art or science or sport, we lose joy in teaching others. As people we are all learners, and we are all teachers — teaching not only what we know but who we are. This tremendous mounlam of English books appears rather overwhelming. Every student must climb it in order to reach the top of a successful English backgroimd. phoiotnWcie Shhhh! I'm stud ing by osmosis.

However, there is one day in the spring dedicated only to these achievements. The students' peers, teachers, parents, and ad- ministrators are given the opportunity to see these students receive their awards from all areas of the curriculum. The awards range from trophies presented by Mr. Jack E. Weicker, principal, to plaques and certificates awarded by in- dividual teachers and administrators. The seniors wore their caps and gowns and marched in as part of the ceremony. Kathleen Clark was presented the Valedictorian Trophy and Debbie Fogel was awarded the Salutatorian Trophy. Eleven seniors were honored as South Side Scholars. Underclassmen were also honored. The R. Nelson Snider Awards for top scholastic junior and top scholastic sophomore were given to Ernest Stalnaker and Joe Deitche. respectively. The Principal's Award for the top scholastic freshman went to Stephanos Gersos. Karen Nichols and George Baldus, juniors, received the Danforth Foundation's I Dare You Award. The Brown University Book Award was given to Scott Morris, junior. Many other awards from individual depart- ments were handed out to the students. South Side's students distinguished themselves during the 1983-84 school year, and the Honors Convocation highlighted that fact. Students con- tinued to make progress in ever ' area; scholastics, athletics, and extra- curricular activities.

During four years in English, one encounters many different experiences. These experiences var ' from class to class and student to stu- dent. Freshman English introduces Shakespeare and other literar ' greats. For some, this introduction is frighten- ing, but for others it is a great opening into the literary world. Shakespeare's plays were boring at first, but later after some study, they were fun to read. I like the romance, commented Claudine Anderson, senior. As the four years progress, different authors and projects are introduced. These projects bring fearful anticipation or memories of fearful anticipation. The ever-popular term paper is something juniors must face. For those yet to ex- perience this challenge of high school, it is looked on with mixed feelings. I heard a lot of terrible stories about bib cards, outlines, and rough drafts, but others tell me they learned a lot from writing a term paper, Bets - Colvin, junior, said. The general consensus is that all the endless nights spent at the libran,- were worth it. Most were glad to have had the experience. George Bauldus, senior, said, Preparing and writing my term paper taught me a lot, and the ex- perience will help me when writing col- lege papers. Another project traps the student dur- ing his care-free senior year. The hour- long is not looked forward to. Even the name sounds threatening. For most, the prospect of standing in front of a class and speaking on one subject for an hour is overwhelming. In spite of all the trials and sufferings of English assignments, a creative, understanding staff enables students to look back on English with memories of a profitable learning experience. ■ Reading, Writing, Research Daniel Boylan Phyllis Bush Ronald Fecher lane Langdon, Dept.

They are similar in many respects, and they share many concepts. Both departments offer a wide variety of courses for study. The math department offers such sub- jects as Algebra, calculus, computer math, general math, geometry, and trigonometry. Some of the choices in science are biology, chemistry, earth science and physics. More and more students seem to be taking classes in these two fields because of their growing importance in society. Some colleges require a solid math and science background for admit- tance. Luckily, it is possible to get a good background at South Side. Scott Morris, senior, said, The math and science pro- grams have been very important to me during my four years at South. I feel they have given me a good base on which to build in college. Randy Zimmerman, junior, said, 'When asked about the quality of the math and science departments at South Side, I always tell that person I feel lucky to be going to South. The teaching staff is really interested in their students, and when the teachers are in- terested, so are the students. I appreciate the teachers' willingness to become involved with computers. Computers are a fun way to learn and are a neccessity to being successful in the modern world of math and science, Holly Hunter, junior, said. Senior Charlie Wemhoff said, We have the best math teachers in the city. Mr. Weinert particularly stands out in my mind. He is one of the few teachers who would actually 'flunk his own mother'. Although math and science are ex- tremely important, they should not be a student's only field of study. Mr. Richard Sage, math department head and science scholar, explained, Mathematics and science are two of the fundamental building blocks for a complete education. i Wlllllll 4 ■HiiMiiim,.

United States history is a required subject for all juniors. Through lectures and reading students return to the old country, cross the ocean, and travel through the decades. In world history students not only learn of events in a country's history but also grow to understand a country's culture and the way its people think, feel, and live. After studying the past, up- perclassmen enjoyed tuning in to cur- rent events. The 1984 elections raised issues left and right. Prayer in school, prochoice- prolife, changes in Indiana's educa- tional system, star wars, and taxes were topics the media and politicians wouldn't drop. I watched the debates on television, but it wasn't enough. I'm glad govern- ment was a requirement because I needed to know more about the can- didates and where they stood on the issues, Vicki Sprague, senior, said. Many students accepted the respon- sibility- of voting. Social studies is an ex- cellent facet of learning what the voting procedure is and how. as young citizens in the community-, students can do their part, Mr. Arnold said. High school students are more aware of changes in the United States govern- ment— changes that prove to be thought-provoking, if not a little frightening. Social studies courses can explain some of these changes, but even more social studies reminds us that govern- ments and societies have been existing for hundreds of years and that the foun- dation of the United States government is still of, by, and for the people.

The well-trained teaching staff together with the eagerness and motiva- tion of the students make learning a foreign language an interesting as well as educational experience. South Side offers four-year language programs in French, German, Latin, and Spanish. Fifth year independent study programs are also offered in French and Spanish. Nowadays many major colleges and universities across the country are re- quiring at least two years of a foreign language for acceptance. As students are made more aware of the increasing benefits of learning a foreign language, the department's enrollment is increas- ing, Miss Lois Holtmeyer, Department Head, said. Learning a foreign language is not easy. It entails a lot of work, such as endless vocabulary lists and quizzes. labs, listening exercises, class discus- sions, lectures, homework assignments, and chapter and unit tests. However, it is not all work. Students taking a language are invited to go on trips to foreign countries that correspond with the language the student is studying. Field trips and various other cultural experiences are also offered. Those on the College University Cur- riculum are required to take two years of one language. There are other reasons students elect a language. Spanish is becoming more important to us as the United States becomes more involved with Spanish speaking coun- tries, Dave Hillenburg, freshman, said. Michelle Porter, sophomore, said, Latin is helpful to me in building my vocabulary for the SAT and other im- portant college entrance exams. Although reasons and opinions may vary, the general consensus of students taking a foreign language seems to be that knowing a foreign language is an advantageous and increasingly impor- tant aspect of education. 38 — Foreign Language Delighted to learn a new verb tense, Deidre DeVoe, freshman, concentrates in her first year French class.

Carrie Bell, sophomore, said, Sometimes it's fun, and sometimes it's a pain. According to Ms. Widmann, the main difference concerning Physical Educa- tion this year from the program last year is that there aren't as many co-ed classes. The girls are taught by a female instructor and the boys by a male. Ms. Widmann said, This gives everyone more opportunity to play. The girls do exercises to suit their bodies. Without the boys, the girls aren't as intimidated which allows them to participate more freely in the games. Scott Dyer, freshman, said, It's a fun class because nobody is worried about homework. Some people care enough to elect bodybuilding to stay in shape for sports or just for the fun of it. After two years I was really glad to get out of it, but it was fun while It lasted. I made a lot of new friends, said senior Ron Wise. It also makes for ingenious new ways It also makes for ingenious new ways to fix hair in five minutes, as invented by frenzied girls. Sweating aside, Mark Baily, sophomore, said, It's a refreshing break during the day, and there's no worry about books. A student in shape mentally, emo- tionally, and physically can get through a busy school day, a workfilled evening, and a few hours sleep much easier than an unhealthy student.

As we walk down the hall and look into each room we find something quite different. In the first room we look in to see a group of people playing an orchestra of keyboards. Diligently they work, trying ever so hard to reach a goal of speed and accuracy. The bell sounds, and Mr. Miller tells the students to stop and count the number of mistakes. Next we move to a room where we find a group of students trying to find why their total debits didn't equal their total credits. Given a chance, our very capable accounting teacher, Mr. Yingst, will straighten them out. Next we come to the third and final stop on our tour, Mrs. Irving's room. What in the world are they writing? Let's face it; after taking shorthand, a student knows another language. This course requires a student to learn the same basic skills as in a foreign language class. To say that a science major has learn- ed more than a business major would be absurd. The thinking in a science class as compared to that in a business class is much different. It is not the amount of writing nor the difficult ' in the work assigned but the t 'pe of thinking that is involved that makes the classes difficult. After taking accounting or another business oriented class, students from the college universitN' curriculum have found that to think in terms of debits and credits or where the letter z is and how fast it can be pressed is sometimes harder than finding out what HCl gives off when Al is added and whether it is an endothermic or exothermic reaction. People sometimes think that business is eas '. Mr. Yingst commented, Business is not eas ' and is often times harder for the people on the college universit - curriculum because it is such a different type of thinking. The teachers within the department are serious about their work, and as Chris Langdon. senior, said, Mrs. r - ing, the shorthand instructor, prides herself in turning out students that have the best possible training. Our business department prepares us for the real world. I have learned what the business world is all about, Steve Christie, senior, said. People have reasons for taking business courses. The most ob ious is to prepare for a future career. Others take one or two courses for a specific pur- pose such as sophomore Becky Hewett. I need this class, taping, so that I will be able to t pe my term papers and col- lege or job applications.' said Hewett. There are many classes to take, from general business to particular skills such as t ping or shorthand. The skills ac- quired will in one way or another have a positive effect on the people who elect such business courses. Business — 41 After a hard morning in some of the required courses at South Side High School, what better way is there to un- wind than to exercise the creative part of one's mind in an industrial arts class? To work with wood can be very relax- ing and can help to take a person's mind off the troubles of the day. While some people enjoy working with wood others could stay in the drafting room and sketch endlessly on a design or shape, trying diligently to make everything to proportion. The idea of creating things is what has moved man to what he is today. The creative minds will form our na- tion into what it will become in the future. The shaping of creative minds into a constructive direction is what is taught in our industrial arts classes. This program is set up to teach, not so much as a vocation, but more like a way to gain experience in a work situation. Young people, individually and col- lectively, are the greatest natural resource for the preservation and development of any community, coun- try, or civilization. We cannot afford to neglect the education and training of our young people, commented Mr. Charlie Kuntz, head of the Industrial Arts Department.

Home Economics is not just sewing, though. According to Mrs. Ronda Meyer there are several other courses available. For incoming freshmen there is a survey course, which deals with almost all basics of Home Economics — relation- ships, food, consumer education, clothing, housing, ect. For inexperienc- ed seniors there is a beginning clothing class. Then, of course, there are foods and clothing available for a maxium of three years. Home Economics is not just cooking and sewing. It is studying the life before you, so you can do the best possible job living it, says Mrs. juanita Mendenhall, Home Economics Department head. For juniors and seniors there is Human Development. It is a very popular class. In fact, right now there are over one hundred students enrolled. Cori Kelso, junior, added, It is not difficult, but it involves quite a lot of time and effort. Human Development is not just a game with egg babies. It deals with the ver ' real facts and crises of everyone's lives— alcoholism, birth defects, death, divorce, parenting, rape, suicide, and other extremely important issues. It is a class that will help one in the future as well as the present. Over all. the people in Home Economics seem to like it.

The bus that leaves South Side at 8:15 in the morning goes to the RVS building where classes begin at 8:30. There are morning and afternoon sessions, and each lasts for three hours. Many different courses are available, such as: automotive, business occupa- tions, construction trades, cosmetology, early childhood education, food ser- vices, industrial technology, and more. Of these courses Miss Jennifer Manth, RVS director at South Side, thinks automotive courses to be the most popular. This program is open to all juniors and seniors. Exactly 100 students from South Side are enrolled in classes at RVS. No credit requirements are set, but a willingness to learn and an in- terest in the field a student is going into are necessary. Not only did RVS train me in my particular area, commented Stephanie Rannells, junior, but I got on-the-job training. According to Miss Manth, a student can enter a co-op program. She explain- ed, A student must go to a regular inter- view with a resume. Because the stu- dent is endorsed by the RVS program, it is easier for the student to break into a field he wishes to work in. The opportunities of the RVS pro- gram are unlimited. Each student benefits from class work and on-the-job training. It is an advantage to career planning and training that students should consider.

These men didn't speak English nor did they dream of what they would find. This year others who had crossed the ocean to the United States were discovering the country's language and its customs. The Lau Program entered its fifth year at South Side. This year 33 people were enlisted in the program. The program, which is mostly made up of students from Laos, prepares the students to be placed in regular classrooms. Several of these students at- tend RVS and study educational courses such as metal and wood trades and health occupations. Each person, regardless of background, is different from all others, but the students in the Lau Program are very much like other Archers. They in- tend to go to college, and they take the SAT. Students whose first language is not English are becoming more American in the ways of dress, speech, and in their overall habits, said Mrs. Janet Perez, Lau program department head. Five students will graduate this year and will move on to college. Some are going into the Air Force, she added. Many of these students are hard workers and dedicate their time to homework. The students feel that to achieve in America, one must know English in ever - shape and form. Rosa Reyes, freshman, said. South Side was hard for me to adjust to in the beginning. The English language was difficult at first but now comes easily. All who have moved from one home to another know it is not eas - to make friends or to fit in with the established group. Moving from one home countn.- to another changes a life drastically. The Lau Program at South Side was a big step in helping those who changed homes.

The first two years of the art courses consist of learning the basics of art which includes drawing, painting, wood projects, and ceramics. During the third and fourth years students are given a better understan- ding of art through various theories presented to them. Every week drawing assignments are completed and kept in sketchbooks. Such assignments include shoes, hand-held objects, family members watching television, and the ever-bizarre crumpled cartoon. There are always groans given when homework is assigned, but drawing is an essential which must be done with flow- ing ease, speed, and perfection. Eddie Anderson, junior, said, I think art is an inspirational subject. It's a great challenge. I enjoy sharing art with others. Although the art department develops creativity, in some ways it can deter it. Working with chemicals and sharp ob- jects teaches one to be extremely careful. However, accidents do happen. I cut my fingernail off. It sounds very gross, I know. It was on a paper cutter while I was doing an assignment. I was very lucky because they were able to sew it back on. It didn't stop me from drawing because I kept sketching anyway, Keith Jones, senior, said.

It's offered as a class and is open to all students who wish to join. The orchestra this year was conducted by Mr. David Streeter, who also conducted the band. The class offered musicians a chance to play together and to try new music. There were thirteen members in the or- chestra, which included three sophomores and ten freshmen. The group included nine violins, two cellos, and two violas. When asked if they would continue orchestra after high school, most people said that they would not. Coreen Curtis, sophomore, replied, It's just a hobby. The orchestra has doubled in size from last year, said Mr. Streeter. Along with the increase in numbers came the increase in talent. The fact that all the members are sophomores and freshmen gives the orchestra a lot to look forward to in the future. Even though there is an orchestra class offered, not all musicians par- ticipate. A Fort Wayne Youth Symphony is offered to students in all Fort Wayne area high schools who wish to play more advanced music and experience a full orchestra sound. It is clear that every musician who elected orchestra had a purpose in do- ing so. Tammy Fedock, freshman, simp- ly stated, I enjoy playing the violin.

As Judy Simpson, senior, sur- mised, She knows what she's doing, and she makes it as interesting as possible. This was definitely a year of develop- ment for the choral department, thanks to the ability and cooperation of the students, and the patience and talent of Ms. Shafer. Jay Martin, senior, added, Ms. Shafer tried to improve the image of the choir. By incorporating dance into our program, she improved the choir on the inside, which is where the self-image begins. Although this was a year of a little awkward transition, ever one involved in chorus in any way learned quite a few things and had a great time. Concert Choir: Front Row— P. Moodv. A. Hinton, C.

When most people hear those two words, they think of twenty- some sHghtly touched people (usually clad in some sort of strange outfit) runn- ing around on a brightly lit stage crank- ing out some funky tunes. To the members of the 1985 jazz band, it meant practice, practice, practice (and not always being where they wanted to be). A jazz band member faithfully put in an hour of practice after every school day as anyone could easily tell by walk- ing down the Band Hall after school. One usually heard something like boom-boom-boom, thud-thud-thud, toot-toot-toot, woof-woof-woof, honk- honk-honk, et cetera, before the actual sounds as they got down to brass tacks. Anyway, the band performed at such prestigious contests as the Elmhurst Jazz Festival and a contest at Ball State. They also played at school concerts and civic affairs like South Town Mall. The members were chosen by audi- tion early in the year. (That wasn't an easy task!) Mark Baily, sophomore, said it well when he said, Jazz band is a lot of fun, and we get to play good music. It gives me a chance to play with people who hke the same music that I do. Mr. Dave Streeter, director of the band, said that the band is quite zealous about the music played. He also added, Although there are several underclassmen in the jazz band, all the members realize that: 'Technical knowledge is not enough. One must transcend techniques so that the art becomes an artless art, growing out of the unconscious.' (Wow, that's deep!) This is it. Archers. Say hello to a great way of listening. This is who they are and what they do in jazz band. They're music people. People just like you. Twenty-some individuals. One purpose. Diverse talents carefully blended. They do it all from the raw materials to the finished product. It's not easy. Archers, but they're getting the job done! 52 — Jazz Band Practically everyone at South Side has at one time or another gone to a football or a basketball game. During the halftime of the games, people either go to get something to eat, or they sit and watch the band and color guard perform their show. Not only do the band and color guard perform at the halftimes of the games, but during football season they also participate in many contests. In a contest, one of the things judges look for, besides marching abilit ', showmanship, creativity, and equip- ment handling, is general effects. This is where the color guard comes in. Accor- ding to sponsor David Streeter, This year's color guard included twenty-six members consisting of rifles and flags. The rifle captain, Caroline Dennis, senior, commented, In the four years that I have been in rifles, it's obvious that this year's group of rifles have put a lot of time and dedication into perform- ing. The flag captain, Mimi Landon, junior, said. In my three years in the guard, I think this year has been the best. It takes a lot of dedication and a good attitude to make things work. This year's guard is the largest it has been in several years, and Karen Kurtz, the guard instructor, believed, The guard seemed stronger this year and was able to do a more difficult show. In addition to having a larger guard this year, there was something else different. The guard had its first and only male member, senior, Chad Ware. As the first male member, Chad felt, Being in the guard was fun and I'm glad the girls ac- cepted me. If a person can do a job they should not be discriminated against because of their sex. In the summer, the guard began prac- ticing about three weeks after school was out to prepare for the football games and contests. The last practice didn't end until mid to late October. The color guard spent, on the average, twelve to fifteen hours a week practic- ing. Also, a week was spent at band camp. The days at camp started at 6:00 a.m. and didn't end until 9:00 p.m. Most of the hours were spent in hard work, yet the members did get some breaks for recreation and meals. As for basketball season, some members of the guard chose to perform at the basketball halftimes. This took the same amount of practice if not more. The guard members who did perform during the basketball season took a class, which met after school everyday from 3 to 4 p.m. During half-time, junior Mananne Landon, a member of Souths flag flingers. shows skill in her practiced routine, phoiosby Tmgfc Rifle Members: Front Row— C. tendon.

The band performed selections from West Side Story during halftime at home football games, phoio by IVesner The first thing that comes to mind about this year's marching band is that this is the first time in three years that the band went away from home for band camp. On August 13, the band traveled to Camp Tecumseh located in the pastoral countryside of central In- diana to spend a week hard at work on the new show. Rehearsals for the freshman, guard, and percussion members began one week before the rest of the band joined in; a mere twelve days after school let out for the summer holidays. Geez, I'm glad we have so much vacation time! said one sarcastic but good-humored drum line member. A majority of the contests were mov- ed up one week earlier this year. That didn't help things a whole lot! Soon came the first dress rehearsal before the City Marching Contest; the Concor- dia football game halftime show. Great! Not so great. After the show, Mr. Streeter, director and objective ear of the Marching Green Machine, exclaimed, That stunk! (He's a diplomatic guy!) Natural- ly, the band was a bit shaken at first — wind out of the sails — but that made the marchers get this show on the road even more. (They were enthusiastic!) Ten hours of practice a week became the norm. Things got even more hectic after school started. Many of the band members had little time for homework and often ate a hasty dinner on the way back to school for an evening practice. (Expect a break or what?) The hard work paid off. The band got its act together which is difficult for any marching band. The band advanced to Regionals with a score of 57.35 and received a first division at Regionals in class B competition with a 65.35 score. The drum line deserves some special recognition. It won top honors at the Midwestern Marching Band Festival in Indianapolis. As if that weren't enough, (and by gosh, don't cha think it ought to be?) the percussionists beat state ranked North Side and Winchester at the Norwell Invitational to take top percus- sion award again! Marching band demands many hours of time and effort that only a certain breed of Archer can give. This year these Archers were rewarded. Something's Coming . Balsey music is beautiful, says Mike Owen Rogers, junior. It seems that percussionists are never without their sunglasses, phoiobyuise Woodwinds: Front Row— T Pierce. P. Starks, A. Grill. L.

These activities range from Project LEAD to the Junior Classical League. Some of the activities have been around for an extremely long time. Both Hi-Y and JCL claim to be the school's oldest club. While researching these claims, it was clearly found that the forerunner of today's Philo, the Philalethians, has been the oldest and most consistent club through the years. Some of these activities take lace in the wee hours of the morn efore school. This means that students sometimes get up long before the sun to malce an activity scheduled for 7:00 or 7:30 in the morning. Clubs that hold their meetings in the morning are less likely to have problems competing for members' time. Activities such as banquets, dances, and guest seminars dominate the evening hours for those tired of watching television. In the past, there has been everytning from Roman culinan,- festivals to meetings with famous clothing designers. So, the many, many students who supported school activities this year definitely had a good selection to choose from. For most, South Side has a club to please everyone. Participating in an organization is a great way to meet new people and become closer to ones alreaay known. Vocal Ensemble: Front to Back— R. Tagtmeyer. D. Shaw, |. Simpson. M. Norton, G.

Overcoming Obstacles Pillows for [Accomplishments I feel that a lot more people should try to participate in the Student Council. I t feels great to know that I'm helping to make some decisions concerning South Side! declared Kim Plasterer, junior, and Secretary of Student Council. She was right! That's what it's all about. The Student Council has done many things for South Side this year, in- cluding Secret Pals, the Hayride, Homecoming, the Christmas Canned Food Drive, and even an end-of-the- year send-off for seniors. The council's first major undertaking was the Hayride. Preparations were made in the midst of busy schedules, teacher contract disputes, and a low budget. Despite all of the road blocks, the Student Council was able to have an extremely successful Hayride, netting $169 for the Homecoming Dance. Unique Lighting Sound provided the sound and light show for what prov- ed to be one of the best Homecomings ever. Immediately after the Homecoming Dance came another well-known tradi- tion of South Side; The Canned Food Drive. First period classes competed to see which class could collect the most canned goods over a two-week period. The class that won received a com- plementary breakfast from the Student Council. One of the highlights of this year's drive was a $150.00 donation from the Afro-American Club. Mr. Gernand, Student Council Ad- visor stated, Even though we started rather slowly, things turned out very well in the end. I thought it was a very successful year. The Student Council was headed by President Chris Sanderson, senior. Vice President, junior Joyce Cartwright, Secretary Kim Plasterer, junior, and sophomore Betsy Floyd, Treasurer. The Student Council Staff along with its Staff Advisor, Mr. Gernand, ac- complished a great deal for the school and the community over the course of the year, and they even managed to have some fun doing it. 58 — Student Council Student Council Members: Front Row — S.

The Marion game and the Homecoming Dance were upon us. After endless publicity through Marion Buster pins and Homecoming announcements, it had come; and it was just as exciting as expected. The Archers kept the big game close until mid-way through the third quarter when the 1 ranked Marion Giants started pulling away. The team put up a great battle until the very end, and the fans cheered hard and were as big a part of the game as the team. After the conclusion of the basketball game, nearly four hundred students rac- ed to the cafeteria for the 1984 Homecoming Dance, featuring Unique Lighting and Sound. Students danced through an hour and a half's worth of good times and good music. At ten thirty everyone gathered anxiously awaiting the declaration of the King and Queen and their Court. All students had voted a week earlier, and when the tablula- tions were completed, Mr. Jack Weicker, principal, announced King, Queen, and Court. Members of the 1984 Homecoming Court were as follows: Freshmen — Vicki LaRue, Matt Elliott, Melissa Livensparger, John Key; Sophomores — Whitney Bish, Tim Gaskill, Becky Clark, Mike Hollingsworth; Juniors — Jane Fedock, Dan Boylan, Anita Mendez, Jeff Livensparger; Seniors — Lori Stephens, George Baldus, Faith Worthman, Todd Starks, King — Chris Sanderson, Queen — Karen Nichols. All in all everything went smoothly, except one thing: It seemed that the Stu- dent Council president forgot to get the roses. Oh well, it's the thought that counts! Who ya gonna call? . . .

The visitors and their hosts spent time at the Glenbrook Mall, the ' Casbah, the fireworks, and ended with a cookout swim party at Susie O'Shaughnessy's house. Senior Becky Dougherty said, The two students who stayed at my house made my summer unique. We took them to the lake for the Fourth of July, and they loved to water-ski. Senior Chris McCann said, I'm glad I had German students stay with me. The whole experience was so great. I know AFS will be a lot of fun. Members met every third Thursday of the month with Mrs. Phyllis Bush, club sponsor, for basic organization (Who's going to sell what when? Are there any staple volunteers? Can someone do a catchy announcement?) and basic fun. Members got together for a hotdog roast and a game of football. This get ac- quainted meeting led to a Christmas caroling and gift exchange meeting which built animosity among all active members. The advantages to being an AFS member were many this year, i.e. all the tootsie rolls and candy canes you can eat, but the greatest reward was the trip to Chicago to see the hit musical Cats. One anonymous Archer said, The reason the club attracted me was not on- ly to meet new people but to get to know AFS's sponsor. That was three years ago, and now I know why the club has never lacked members. Mrs. Bush is a very special person, and no one can resist her one on one rapport. AFS Members: Front Row — W. Lupkin.

In the 1984-85 school year the combined teams consisted of over thirty members. The two teams consisted of the varsity and the freshmen. The freshmen team was usually made up of the new and less experienced members. The club was sponsored by Mr. Ken Hullinger, who has been sup- porting and coaching the club since the early 1970's. He believed that this year the club had a lot of potential and did well in competition. The purpose of this club was to promote marksmanship, sport- smanship, and general safety in handling weapons. All of these together, along with the ability to shoot, helped play a major part in how the teams competed on regional, state, and national levels. This past summer two of South Side's rifle team members went on to compete at national levels. Last year, the varsity team claimed vic- tory over Howe Military Academy and was the first school in the Ft. Wayne area to do so. These things can give one an example of the teams ability and capability to suc- ceed and do well individually and also as a team. This year's officers consisted of Chris Ladner, sophomore, as presi- dent and junior Vicki Hartgrove as vice-president. The secretary was sophomore Leo Anderson, and senior Calvin Dubose held the role of the treasurer. I joined the rifle club because I thought it would be different and because it wasn't something that many other blacks join. And, after I joined, I discovered that it was really more fun than I had thought it would be. Sure, it takes hard work, but, like any other sport, it is worth all of the effort that is put in- to it, stated Ladner as he put his thoughts into words about the rifle club. South Side has two Business clubs, DECA and COE. These are two of the many organizations that have existed since the school was built. The main purpose of each is to prepare students for when they graduate and venture into the world of business. Cooperative Office Education is for seniors and six-semester graduates who are interested in earning money and learning skills at the same time. Through COE, it is possible for students to get business training and experience in the classroom, on the job, and through a youth group (OEA). COE gives the student a head start in the usiness world. Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) is designed to provide training for stuoents in various fields of marketing and distribution, such as sales, oank- ing, advertising, restaurant marketing, and hotel management. Students learn these trades from club activities, classroom instruc- tion, and actual job training.

This year, this was definitely the case for the tutors. A total of thirty members signed up to help. However, only about ten of these people were able to start out the year. This was due to the new state rule about leaving school early. Second semester expanded because more students were able to leave earlier. Tutoring participants helped at many surrounding elementary schools. The tutoring subjects in- cluded reading, math, and a little social studies. Mr. Dan Boylan, the club sponsor, felt that some students in elementary school needed help in certain areas which South Side students were — and are — definitely capable of handling. Doug Rapp, senior, explained, Working with the kids is very fulfilling. It's a great feeling giving them an extra chance in education that some of us never had. Tutors: Front Row— D. Boylan, L.

It trains them to work in teams with adults in volunteer projects that serve the community. South Side's LEAD has the backing of both the school and the Junior League. The club is concerned mainly with people. The purpose of the club is to alleviate many of the educational, social, and emotional problems of Americans under the age of eighteen, to encourage adults to share their knowledge and skills with these youths, and to develop a new source of much needed volunteers among teens. The best thing about Project LEAD is that it is a joint effort of the community leaders, students, and schools to make things better for each other. Project LEAD is valuable to the in- dividual who participates in it because it not only helps the community and the school, but it also helps the person feel good inside, Sarah Deputy, sophomore, said. This year Project LEAD sponsored an orientation program for incoming freshmen. Plans for this project were begun during a mini-leaderhship con- ference that took place in the South Side cafeteria for two Sunday afternoons. The conference was conducted by Mr. Tom Gordon and Mrs. Cathy Ginther, sponsors, and three student members who were delegates to a leadership con- ference in Martinsville, Indiana. These students were senior Sarah Baker, junior Margaret Norton, and sophomore Mike Mortensen. The club also helped sort clothes and give a Christmas part ' for the children at the Lutheran Day Care Center. Senior Mikki Younker said, Project LEAD is one of the fastest growing clubs at South Side, and I think it proves that people like helping people. Sharing picture books is the perfecl ua for sophomore Sarah Deput ' to malce new friends. photo b Ginlher Project Lead: Front Row— M. Mortensen; Second Row— E. Zimmerman, S. Morris; Third Row— C.

The officers for this year were junior Wesley LaRue, presi- dent; freshman Vicki LaRue, secretary; junior Joy Nielson, treasurer; and Mindy Pape, junior, holding the position of vice-president. Meetings this year were held regularly once a month after school in the Greeley Room in- stead of at a student's home as in past years. These meetings includ- ed many different things. At the first meeting the ritual of breaking the pinata wa s performed. Name that tune, bingo, and passing an orange under the neck to somebody were a few other games that were played. Not only were games played at meetings, but guest speakers from IPFW spoke on careers involving the Spanish language. This gave the members an idea of the oc- cupations that exist in this field. Along with everything else going on, food was prepared for each meeting. The food ranged from typical Spanish desserts to chocolate cake and Oreo cookies. The Spanish Club did things outside of the regular club meetings. For something new this year, Spanish Club helped to spon - sor a foreign language dance along with the other three language clubs. With the money made from this dance, the club did various ac- tivities to gain more knowledge of the Spanish and Mexican arts in the Fort Wayne area. This foreign language club had more people this year than in any other year. Spanish Club really grew this year. I'm glad to see that more people are getting involved and are participating in the ac- tivities of the club, commented Cheryl Michael, junior. Mrs. Rollins agreed somewhat with Cheryl, Spanish Club had its largest membership ever this year. I am very pleased that so many students are interested in suppor- ting this extra-curricular club, she said. 68- Spanish Club Members: Front Row— Mrs. Rollins, K. Haywood, G. Lamb, ]. Nielson, W.

With seniors Eric Zimmerman as President, George Baldus as Vice- president, Jonn Stanutz as Treasurer, and Chris Sanderson as Secretary, the club certainly tend- ed to stray from the traditional studies. Some of the special ac- tivities conjured by the officers were the reviewing of the song Tour de France, frisbee football, and millions of food items ranging from crepes to french toast to french-vanilla ice cream, neither of which are French. Each year the group has a picnic I It imk f ran ais and a guest speaker. This year there were four guest speakers for the French Club. One was our French exchange student, Florence Fresnault, who spoke about teenage life in France. Mar- cia Steere, a substitute teacher at South Side mystified the students with her crazy tales of world travel. Michael [orgensen, our Danish exchange student, spoke about his home and culture. Susan Laker also gave a presentation concerning her trip to France over the summer of 1984. Every student in the Cercle Francais agreed that it is a great learning experience, and they en- courage more interested students to join. Scott Morris, senior, said. Tne cultural experience gained through French Club is a valuable enhancement of my high school education. Ms. Wynn added that, It is fun to be able to meet with students away from school where we can really talk and learn without pressure I The crepe mustn't stick to the pan, instructs Brother Greg Fr zel, former student teacher at South and now French teacher at Bishop Luers. photo by Wise French Club: First Row— M.

South Side's first German club started this year with Mrs. Pamela Houk, Ger- man teacher, as the sponsor. The of- ficers for the 1984-85 school year were seniors: Amy Simon, president; Kim Kumfer, vice-president; Brenda Mar- quart, secretary treasurer; and Michelle Payne, public relations chairperson. Junior Don Williams served as the social chairman. The club was a surprising success ac- cording to Houk, who was reluctant about having the club started in the first place. However, she seemed to have changed her mind when she pleasingly stated, I'm glad the kids are enjoying the club, and I hope it will bring in- terest to the area of German. The club consisted of about thirty students, well over half of them enroll- ed in German classes. The club made its first year an eventful one. In December, all of the members gathered at a member's house and had a smorgasboard dinner, German style. With the help of the other foreign language clubs, in January, the respec- tive clubs sponsored a dance after a basketball game. In February, the club decided to go cross country skiing at the Fox Island Nature Reserve. Along with the other foreign language members of different clubs, the German club went bowling. The big event of the year was when they went to Michigan to a Ger- man town called Frankenmuth. The club members stayed there for the weekend and did a lot of sight-seeing. The last event for the year was a spr- ing picnic where the rhembers all look- ed back at the fun and joy they had ex- perienced from the first German club at South Side. The students who were involved in the meetings and activities said that it was one of the best clubs to which they had ever belonged. Payne commented, I really liked the meetings. All of the people were nice and the best thing is that we got to eat at all of the meetings! German Club: Front Row — Mrs. Houk; Second Row — Dawn Kolkman, A. Guyer, F. Hughes, C. McCann. A. Golden.

The rest of the club's officers con- sisted of senior Vickie Sprague, vice- president; junior Michelle Heckley, secretary; and sophomore Beth Felger; treasurer. The purpose of JCL is to learn the Latin culture through participation. At meetings the students perform skits, play games, and learn about the Roman's way of life. This year the club had its annual fall picnic at Foster Park and also had a very successful project of adopting a family at Christmas time. The club planned many new activities this year, including its famous Roman Banquet. During the banquet, students presented plays and enjoyed the food while dressed in the traditional Roman toga.

Those students got together with Mr, Frank Houk and formed SADD, or Students Against Driving Drunk. The group formed in hopes of creating some positive peer pressure within South Side High School. SADD is trying to show that drinking and driving is a mixture every one can hve without. SADD has shown us how much drunk drivers have affected our hves and the lives of our loved ones. Amy Franciscotty, junior, said. The group's first major project was going to Kekionga and Geyer Middle Schools and showing the young students that not all high school students think it is neat to mix drinking and driving. The program, Project Middle School, was readily accepted by the administrators and the students at both schools. Other activities include a Welcome Back Dance, a SADD day at school, featuring a professional speaker, a SADD bulletin board, and a Christmas Potluck. This year's SADD officers were: President Rob Osha, Vice-president Chris Sanderson, Secretary Sarah Baker, Treasurer Susan Laker, and Faculty Advisor Mr. Frank Houk. SADD groups across the nation have been helping eliminate deaths due to drunk driving, but there is still a long way to go. South Side's chapter of SADD has helped stop drunk driving by help- ing fellow students understand that drinking and driving is not the thing to do. When asked about SADD, Chris Sanderson, senior, replied, I think the attitude towards drinking and driving here at South has changed considerably over the past year. It is great that so many people have become involved. After all, we should be concerned; drunk driving is the number one killer in our age group. Philo: Fun and Fulfilling Philo, an active club since the early days of South Side, continued to sponsor many activities throughout the year. Open to all junior and senior women, Philo attempted to render services within the school and the communit '. In order for Philo to carry out its pur- Eose of serving others, money needed to e raised. The main fundraiser for the year was the annual Powder Puff Foot- ball game, which was played in early November. The game pitted the freshmen and juniors against the sophomores and seniors, with the freshmen and juniors winning the game. Despite the cold weather, the Powder Puff game was enjoyed by players and spectators alike. Dianne Zelt, senior and chairperson for the Powder Puff game commented, I thought the game was a great success. Many more girls participated than usual. It was a lot of fun putting the whole thing together. With the money earned from Powder Puff, donations were made to several organizations. It was used to offer social and educational opportunities to Philo members as well. Members also volunteered their time to do such things as working at the Haunted Forest at Franke Park.

Mrs. Joan Varketta was the sponsor and helped to lead Philo to a purposeful year. SADD Philo— 71 iit=''¥'ii St 'mgriTlti ir Mm imw The Hi-Y club, sponsored by Mr. Robert Weber, started the 1984-85 school year on a rough note. Debts of over $1000 (Thanks. Harold) due to the poor sales of the club's T-shirts last year hurt the club's productivity in the early months. However, such projects as leaf rakes and fruit sales helped put Hi-Y out of the hole. The club once again sponsored the Red Cross Bloodmobile and Queen of Hearts Dance. This year's officers included Russell Kolkman, president; Wally Nestor, vice-president; Robbie Sinninger, treasurer; Scott Morris, secretary; and Alan Fett, sergeant-at arms. All of this year's officers were seniors. According to Weber, the purpose of Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and com- munity high standards of Christian character. The club's platform is, clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean living. My thirty-seven years of sponsoring Hi-Y at South Side has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life, said Weber. In those years I have been privileged to know and work with a large proportion of the finest people I have met — people of honesty, integrity, intelligence, and commitment to the ser- vice of others.

The time: four o'clock ... in the morning. Most people, let alone high school students, are not even thinking about getting up; yet one dedicated group of Archers rolls out of bed to get to the awaiting school bus on time. These Archers are the South Side Speech Team. Why did they do it? Tammy Smith, junior, explained, Even though getting up between three and four in the morn- ing is rather difficult on Saturday, being on the speech team has been a great ex- perience and a lot of fun also. Anywhere from twenty-five to sixty students competed at each of the meets during the October to April season, and this year's team kept the tradition of ex- cellence which the South Side Speech Team has established. Before the season started, many hours of hard work had been put in by the team and Coach Robert Kelly. Said Mr. Kelly at the beginning of the season. This particular team has tremendous potential. If that potential is realized. certainly, this team could be one of the strongest in South Side speech history. Once the team had been selected and the cuts, or speeches, had been handed out, each member worked alone and with Mr. Kelly to achieve the best possi- ble interpretations and st 'les. Craig Chambers, sophomore, summed up the team's feelings about the dedica- tion required when he said, I feel the hard work and dedication of being on the speech team pays off in the long run. Not only is speech a great asset for the future; it allows you to make new friends and have fun. The team was coached throughout the year by Mr. Kelly, with Mr. Jed Freels assisting on Saturdays. The team's of- ficers were seniors Scott Morris, presi- dent, Roxanne Wattley, vice-president, and Candie Nunez, secretan,-. This year's team was a closely knit and diversified group that upheld the reputation of the South Side Speech Team. Can you see what Fm saying? junior Tammy Smith knows that gestures are a big part in making her oratorical interpretation a success. phoiob -  v« Speech Team — 75 Using all the strength and concentration she can muster, Heidi Sl elton. senior. performs a superior noor exercise while intrigued spectators observe, photo by Sheroy They all look alike.

From the mental standpoint, the sense of individuality, combined with the feelings of caring, companionship, and responsibility is truly beneficial to each team member. From the physical standpoint, no one has ever found their physical condition deteriorated by exercise. The experiences brought about directly or indirectly by athletics are priceless and will be remembered by participants and spectators alike for many years to come. A large number of athletes participate in sports either to relieve tension or to just plain have fun with others w'hile being challenged at the same time.

The team was led by three All- City players: Jeff Dawson, pitcher; Mike Preston, first baseman; and James Gilbert, designated hitter. Though these three players helped the Archers to earn the title sec- tional runners-up, Gilbert, junior, remarked, We began playing young, and because we had been together for a long time, we had good team cooperation. That was how we got as far as we did. Coaches Dave Fireoved and Don Nichols were pleased with the team's performance. There were times when the coaching staff thought that the boys could have been doing better, but the players seldom doubted their coaches' advice. The coaching staff was very helpful to the players. They gave the team constant encouragement and were always happy to share their knowledge of baseball with us, Steve Mast, freshman, said. Tim Gemmer, junior, said, Next year a lot of us will be retur- ning. With our experience and the incoming freshmen talent, I'm really looking forward to the 1985 season.

Outstanding per- formances by De De Nathan, Cori Kelso, Anita Mendez, Trudi Mc- Cloud, sophomores, Lisa Martin, Delania Hall, juniors. Angle Good- man, senior and others gave the team a record of 7-2 in the dual meets. Nathan was a state champion in the 300-meter low hurdles and ranked 8th in the United States. Nathan added the 1600-meter relay state championship with help from McCloud, Martin, and Good- man who was the team's only senior. The 1600-meter relay team was ranked 8th in the nation. Goodman finished 5th in the 400- meter run. Kelso finished in 4th place in the shot put with a put of 42' 3 4. The state champions Nathan, McCloud, Martin, and Goodman will receive plaques designating them ALL AMERICANS for 1984. This is the second South Side 1600- meter relay team to be hon- ored so nationally. When Kelso was asked which meet was her most exciting one, she replied, Either the SAC or the State meet. In the SAC meet I broke two records — one in the shot put and the other in the discuss. The State meet was fun, and it was exciting because it was my first time going all the way to Indianapolis. McCloud placed first two times in the SAC meet in the 100-meter dash and the 1600-meter relays. She commented, The State Meet was my most exciting meet of the season because the 1600-relay broke a record and we came in se- cond place teamwise over all. Curtis, M. Younker. A. Mendez, I.

The 1983-84 track team started out young and mostly unexperienced. Despite some injuries, South im- proved as the season went on. The track team was not large in number, but they were large at heart. Most of the dedicated team members started practicing in late December and mid-January. This consisted of lifting weights and running after school everyday un- til the end of the track season. The coaching staff was well- experienced and ready for the new season. Junior, Jerry Gerig, a pro- minant member of the track team, stated, I really enjoyed the new coaching staff. It's really good to know that they have a lot of ex- perience and training. They have helped me to perform to my fullest potential. Julio Garcia, the new head coach, coached the long distance runners. He coached such people as; graduating senior and winner of the mental attitude award, Carl Sinninger, in the mile, half mile, and the mile relay, graduating senior, Willie McCloud, in the half mile and the mile relay and retur- ning letterman and winner of the coaches award, Gerig, in the mile. John Hestor, new to South at the beginning of the 1983-1984 school year, coached the sprinters. He coached people like returning let- termen junior, Curtis Hairston, Stacey Palomo, sophomore and sophomore. Gene Cobbs. Coach Walter Bartkiewicz specialized in coaching the field events, which this year dominated the team. The hard work from Coach Bartkiewicz and the field members payed off for the Archers this last year. Such people as graduating senior and most valuable player, Chris Grady, in the high jump and long jump, graduating senior, Shawn Fincher, in the high jump, returning letter- man, Tim Clark, junior, in the discus, and returning letterman, Cobbs, in the pole vault have shown South Side fans that track is more than running. The track team along with South Side fans has high expectations for this year's reserve team which plans on making things happen this year on the varsity level.

Coach Richard Melton, in his tenth year as golf coach, used a combination of seniors and underclassmen in shaping the team. Practicing every day after school at Foster Park, the players were forced to give up much of their spare time. Such dedication led to great team success in tournaments such as the Wawasee Invitational where the Archers finished a strong third place in a field of fif- teen teams. Pete Gemmer, the number-one player, and Todd Anderson, seniors, led the varsity team throughout the season. Both were honored as All-SAC competitors. George Baldus, junior, and Jon Schlegel and J. D. Chesterman, sophomores, were awarded varsity letters. Baldus commented, We had a disappointing sectional tourna- ment, but we showed a lot of peo- ple that we were a team to be reckoned with.

Most of the varsity team had played since their freshman year. This season Coach Jay Horton had hoped freshmen would join the team, but none tried out. Debbie Fogel and Susan Bonham, seniors, were co-captains of the team. Fogel had the best record on the team, but after sec- tionals, Jennifer Grahm and Rebecca Schaab, seniors and number one doubles players, had the only Archer win in a 1-4 loss to Snider. The coach encouraged us to participate in other tournaments. He also made us feel welcome if we ever needed to talk to him about problems we may have had with the team, Claudine Ander- son, junior, said. Like any team it had its ups and downs. Gina Nierman, Junior, said, Overall we got along, and our coach was nice. Sometimes the varsity girls would leave before reserve games were over. I think it would have been nicer if everyone had stayed to cheer all their team- mates on. That would have really promoted team spirit. I enjoyed going to different schools to play tennis. The best thing that happened to me on the court was when I won my first match. I was shocked that I could actually play well enough to win! Tennis builds my self- confidence, Leola Thomas, junior, said. All the girls felt a sense of team and individual accomplishment when they won a game singly or a match as a team. Keeping her eye on the ball, Susan Bonham, senior, does a bit of quick thinking before the ball is returned her way. phnio Ijy Anderson Girl's Tennis: Front Row— B. Colvin, D. Fogel, R. Schaab. |.

Ahhough the Archers came up short, finishing fourth, they ended the season where they expected to place. The team had five returning let- termen which gave them much ex- perience and depth. Playing first singles was Joe Deitche, junior, who was named to the ALL-SAC squad for his third straight year. Senior Jerry Gerig held the second singles position. He ended his var- sity playing at 22-1 in the con- ference. He was also named to the ALL-SAC Honorable Mention team. Filling the third singles spot was Tim Sheppard, junior. All three singles positions were heavi- ly relied upon for individual victories. The doubles consisted of many different combinations of players. The most frequently used first doubles combination had Tom Manges, senior, and John Stanutz, junior, playing together. The four players getting action at second doubles were John Schlegel, Gerald Lamb, Mark Clark, juniors, and freshman Matt Elliott. The tennis squad got off to an excellent start, winning seven of their first eight matches, but then faced the strong city contenders, Luers, Concordia, and Snider. In Sectionals they defeated New Haven before falling to Snider to end their season at 10-4. During the '85 season the tennis team will have seven players returning who have had varsity ex- perience, as well as some reserve players with a great deal of poten- tial. Coach Rick Hanauer is op- timistic about next year. He stated, With a lot of work, we can count on a very profitable next season.

In a cit ' with more great football teams in it than almost any other cit ', the Archers 4-6 record was more than a slight improve- ment on last year's 2-8 mark. Increased experience was also a key to the 1984 season. Leading the Archers' offense most of the time was senior Curtis Hairston, runn- ing back and member of the All- SAC second team. Seniors joe Slick, Reggie Grady, Tim Clark, Bill Jordan, Shawn Sewell, and Bob Sprinkle, all members who received honorable mention on the All-SAC team, made up the rest of the team which played on offense. The defensive unit was headed by second team All-City players Andre Hicks and Harvey Gibson, Varsity Football Scoreboard ss 15 Concordia 13 ss 0 Harding 20 ss 26 Wayne 0 ss 14 Huntington 13 ss 15 Snider 39 ss 13 North Side 27 ss 15 Northrop 35 ss 0 Dwenger 15 ss 10 Elmhurst 7 ss 8 Luers 35 juniors, as well as by junior linebacker Jeff Livensparger who received All-City Honorable Mention. Although the South Side grid- ders suffered through another los- ing season, the games had many highlights. The best time was when we scored on number one, state-ranked North Side first, noted Livensparger. And of course, when we came from behind against Concordia. That was a great game. The big difference though, continued Livensparger, was that when we were down, we didn't tuck in our tails and give up like in some other years. Indeed, for second year coach John Hester, this year's version of the South Side football team was certainly on the upswing of respectibility. Varsity football: Front Row— R. Grady, O. Turner, T.

These football players, however, mostly sophomores and juniors, were an integral part of South Side's program. They, as well as the strong freshman squad, which posted a 6-2 record, ex- perienced quite a year of learning and building skills needed for football playing. At the end of the season both teams had learned not only how to cooperate on the field but off it as well. The class of '88 played with con- sistency through the entire year, partly because they practiced with the varsity team much of the time. Freshmen James Hinton and Steve Davis led a potent rushing attack which was backed by a persistent line. Tough defense also carried the Archers to one of the best seasons in South's history of freshmen football. Although the team was highly successful, not all of the goals were fulfilled. Freshman linebacker Todd Kabish said, We wanted a perfect record, and Coach Hester thought we could get one. Our biggest goal was to beat Snider, but we couldn't quite pull it off. Although the reserve squad didn't have as admirable a record as the freshmen, they definitely showed potential for next year's varsity team. The coaching staff put a lot of time into improving the team and by Octobter both coaches and team members were satisfied. All members o.f the team demonstrated their ability in all facets of the games of 1984 and should prove to be successful var- sity players in the fall of 1985. Freshman Football Team: Front Row — M.

Coach Garcia only had one volleyball manager, Liz Bohnstedt, freshman. The varsity, reserve, and freshmen teams combined had a total of twenty-six players con- sisting of nine varsity, eleven reserve, and six freshmen. I would have to say that I en- joyed the Whitko Tournament against Columbia City because we, the team, proved that we really had the talent and potential of a winning team. We also proved to Columbia City that we weren't losers. I feel we really played great as a team in that game, stated Mikki Younker, senior, when ask- ed which game was her favorite. Brigitte Emrick, freshman, com- mented, I thi nk I liked our game at Northside the best because I think we had good teamwork! Younker said, The hardest thing about being on the team was not only having a losing season but losing the individual games. When asked if the team got along with each other and the coach, Emrick said, Most of the time, but we did have our few ex- ceptions. I think I gave my best in all of the games because I put all of my effort into it! Despite this year's trying season.

Grunts like tired horses are pushed from their lungs as they get closer to the final stop. Does this sound like fun or what?! Ask anyone of the members on either the girl's or boy's cross- country team, and she or he would say, Sure I enjoy running; I have to. Jesse Martin, sophomore, add- ed, I enjoy running at the meets and the camaraderie that exists between the runners. When Chad Ware, senior, was questioned about his experiences in cross-country, he responded, Cross-country isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, but when all the practicing is over and it's time to compete, it's all worth it. The Boy's Team Captain, David Mendez, senior, said, If we work hard and strive to win, we have the potential to go far. David had no plans of running his freshman year in college but said that after his first year he will try to get in the flow of things and keep running in college. Benita Brewer, girl's captain, commented that cross-country is an emotional sport as well as physical. It takes a lot of willpower and team unity to keep running day after day in the heat, cold, and rain. The reason some members of the cross-country team run is to condition for track while others run for the sheer enjoyment of running. The pain, hard work, and time spent in this sport are a necessity to achieve. If the idea of being able to be proud of the hard work and time is intriguing to anyone, the cross-country teams are always looking for dedicated people to run!

The team had a winning season (9-7) which posed a threat to other schools. The girls came in fourth in the SAC. The girl cagers were beaten out of first through third positions by very close games. The cagers had four players graduating this year. These seniors included: Laretha Green, Delania Hall, Janet Hayden, and Mikki Younker. The team had very good prospects for the next year with four juniors returning including; Cori Kelso, DeeDee Nathan, Trudi Mc- Cloud and Gina Nierman. Shelia Wier, sophomore, will be playing along with several other reserve' players who will move up to the varsity level. This year the lady cagers voted on the girls which they felt deserved the M.V.P. Award and the Most Im- proved Award. Hayden was given the M.V.P. while Hall received the Most Improved Award. Coach Dan Auer awarded Green with the Coaches Award. Hayden and Nathan were named to the All-SAC this year. This year the team displayed good sportsmanship, and they worked together well. Hopefully next year the woman cagers will be able to capture the SAC while keeping up the momentum they have gained through this year's experiences. Shoot for two!

The Ar- chers finished 13-5 and wound up tied for second place in the Summit Athletic Conference. Two of the season's five losses were suffered at the hands of the states' two top teams, the Marion Giants and the Northrop Bruins. South returned five lettermen with Reggie Grady, senior, starting as center for the Archers. Two other three-year lettermen, seniors George Baldus and Todd Starks, started as forward and guard respectively. Rounding out the star- ting line-up were seniors Ron Keller and Gent Montgomery. The Archers benefited greatly from a strong bench. Seniors James Gilbert and Charlie Wemhoff and juniors Tim Sheppard, Don Clark, Mark Barnfield, and Greg Peoples saw a lot of action in all of the games. Coach Terry Flynn called the season a fine one, pointing out the value of having seven seniors. I've been able to work with these guys for four years now, which has been a lot of fun. They provided this team with a lot of leadership. Senior George Baldus summed up his feelings by saying, I have had a great time playing for this team, and this season has been very satisfying.

Both posted lopsided winning records against teams from across the area, and truly learned much in the process. The freshmen squad broke into high school basketball in fine fashion, dominating nearly all of their opponents and eventually winning the freshmen SAC tour- nament. Although they need a cou- ple of years to refine some of the finer points of basketball, the freshmen cagers definitely had an excess of talent which should easi- ly overcome these obstacles. With a little experience, the rookie team should provide several exciting games in the years to come. The reserve team also played well in the 1984-85 season while preparing to make the step up to varsity play. Sophomores Mike Hollingsworth and Jesse White teamed up with junior Tracy Jackson in leading the team to many outstanding victories in- cluding one against the Northrop Bruins at Northrop. The reserves were compiled of a well-balanced group of sophomores and juniors whose potent offense left most of the other teams in the dust. Since many of the varsity players this year are seniors, the balance of the reserve squad should form an ex- cellent base for next year's varsity team. Each of these two teams has a lot to be proud of, for they worked hard all winter and were reward- ed with the benefits in which they deserved. Every one of these E layers devoted all they had to asketball for months and came away with valuable lessons for on and off the court.

Chris Bouwkamp and Art McCowan shared head coaching responsibilities. Under the guidance of these two, the team had its highest finish in the annual SAC tournament ever. Even after being crippled by the forfeit of four weight classes (the equivalent of twent --four points), the team turned out five victories. The reserve team surely cannot be forgotten in a year when only quality' wrestlers existed on the South Side squad. The four members of the reserve team prov- ed that they will break through the ranks of the varsity level and be major factors on next year's team. For some, the season ended sad- ly because the Archers were stuck in one of the toughest sectionals in Northern Indiana. Proof of this was that Tim Doehrman, junior, and Northrop transfer, ]oe Nikolaenko, senior, finished the season with incredible records of 18-8 and 17-6-1, respectively, yet failed to advance. By winning Sectional titles and advancing to Regional competi- tion, senior, Tony Starks and juniors Jeremy Strom and Kern,' Haywood showed that the team was not a losing one, regardless of the record it compiled. While not all of the Archers had unforgettable records, the team worked as a family.

With the lack of pep sessions, their job was not easy. This year the squads went through a changing period. New and old cheers were made more entertaining for the fans. The squads were made up of eight var- sity, five reserve, and five freshmen members. What is cheerleading like? Is it really all the glamour that T.V. makes it look like? No way! Debbie Cook, freshman, said, It's a lot of hard work, but it is worth it. Prac- tice was held during the summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 in the morning until 8:00 in the morning. Once school started, they practiced after school on Tuesdays from 2:50 until 4:30. Kim Plasterer, junior, said Cheerleading means more to me each year.

Although our senior year is over, we still have the achievements, and memories to look back on . . . ■J pecia{ timed and ipecial placei Jipecial friendi together; ZJhe motnenti pan io (fuickiu, vSul tne memoriei lait forever. —Ciai6 of 1985 motto Letitia Acoff, Demetrius Adams, Melissa Margaret Ade: AFS 11.12; Rifle Club 10,11; Spanish Club 10,11,12.

To be a senior class officer is an honor where a selected number is chosen to represent the class of that year. Every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. the officers met to discuss such topics as the senior play, senior banquet, and Ivy Day. Charles Wemhoff, vice-president, said, It was a great honor to have been chosen by my classmates to represent them in our stu- dent government. This is something that I will be able to look back on and to say, 7 was involved.' Elected officers were George Baldus, president; Charles Wemhoff, vice-president; Caroline Den- nis, secretary; Robert Sinninger, treasurer; Lori Miller, Michelle Payne, and Lori Stephens, social committee. One thing people really don't realize is that not only are the officers represen- ting the year of 84-85 , but also they will be the ones responsible for any future reunions. Lori Miller, social com- mittee, replied, It's a great feeling knowing you represent your friends and classmates, but it's an even better feel- ing that I'm giving it my best! All in all, this year's senior class of- ficers helped to organize and assemble any activities concerning our class and our school. George Baldus, president, summed it up by saying, Being the president of the senior class has been a real honor for me. I didn't realize that there would be so much responsibility' with the job, but I have no regrets, and I will always be thankful to have had the chance to lead our class. l edpondlblutu Wak f]o Vvelta Parks: .Afro-American Club 11: DECA 1:2, Michelle Marie Pavne: AFS 11.

Mrs. Langdon Don't feeiganged-upon. You haven t been chosen above and beyond; It's just a project that must be done. This school year passed like any other, and next year will pass just the same. The only difference this year is that a group of seniors canie up with a novel concept of how they wished to be remembered. The Toilet Paper Association came up with a harmless idea to show how much they appreciated their teachers. The idea of the TPA was to TP every teacher at South Side. Apparently when these seniors com- pleted a house, they left a banana peel at the door with a poem inside the peel. The poems ranged from cute: Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So! Ms. Shafer, we say hello! Welcome to the school Seniors don't do this as a rule; We do. We've got class. ... to creative for Miss HoJtmeyer; ou'i'ay nowkay suay, oisLay. utbay e'JJway emainray noymousaay; ereHay, oweverhay, siay aay okentay romf ay suay. These poems have a light and comical theme to them, commented one of the members (My sources must remain anonymous). One of the poems, this person added, read like this lor Mr. Davis: Georgie-Porgie, puddin' and pie, BJincfed the class with his socks and tie; When the class started pokin' some fun, Georgie got out some nitroglisorun! The seniors associated with the TPA found a way to be unique from other classes. A little iiote to future graduates: find some way to be different from past classes. That may take setting alarm clocks in all senior lockers to go off at the same time or paying for lunches with Pennies, just two warnings: Don't be destructive, and DON 1 tifci CAUGHT!

I South's French and Scandinavian Connection When we, Tina Albertsson (Sweden), Florence Fresnault (France), Pasi Harkki (Finland), and Michael Jorgensen (Denmark) look back, we all think of a very great year at South Side High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Looking back we remember the first days with a lot of confusion. In the first place we had problems tiding to find the classrooms since we did not know the school at all. Plus the exciting adventure of opening our locker was a great task. But as time went on all the small troubles were starting to be an everyday thing to do. South Side became a little more human to us. Half way through the year, around Christmas, we think we all became settled at our new school. The football games weren't something new, and when we came to the Marion basketball game, we really felt the school spirit. We became one of them: The Archers. So we can say we have enjoyed our stay very much, and more or less we liv- ed as real Americans. For all of us it was a great experience. We just want to say: Archers, thank-you for a great year at South Side High School! Ex. Students: P. Harkki. F. Fresnault. Albertsson. M. jorgensen. photo by Ciimon T.

Optimistic Juniors Look Ahead Being juniors this year was dif- ferent from being sophomores or freshmen. No longer were we new like freshmen or confused like sophomores. As juniors we walked tall with the anticipation of next year when we would finally get to be seniors. The year went by quickly though, as we took part in the Prom and were included in Hi-Y or Philo for the first time. There were heavier demands to be met this year as the dreaded term papers and Macbeth created new challenges for us. For those of us fortunate to have jobs, the year was busy readjusting schedules in order to make time for homework, athletics, and fun. Looking ahead to 1986, the juniors will continue to grow together when we return to South Side for our final year in high school, seniors at last. Taking the future into their hands, juniors Tina Games at the Regional Vocational Center. photo by Nierman and Stephanie Rannells play War Waiters Carmen Baird Gary Barker Shelia Barrera Thomas Bates Jerome Beasley Alice Belschner Francis Bireley Jill Bomersback Daniel Boylan Rose Bradfield Ronda Briggs Rena Carter Rodney Cavender John Chambers Khanty Chanthirath James Chesterman Mark Clark Gene Cobbs Charles Coleman Betsy Colvin Anderson Cox Ron Cupp Jeffrey Daughtry Joseph Deitche Daphne Devoe Cynthia Ditslear Mark Doehrman Timothy Doehrman Lora Douglas Michelle Eaton 124— Junior Album Todd Emrick David Estep fane FedocK Anne Felger Heather Fleck Amy Franciscotty Paul Fulghum Samuel Gemple Harvey Gibson Thomas Gogeans William Golaen Patricia Grandstaff Tamara Greider Leopoldo Guajardo Tina Hadley loel Haffner Veola Hambright Viola Hambright Vicki Hartgrove lames Hartig Gregory Heatwole Micnelle Heckley Blake Heemsoth Ruth Hibler lohn Hill Martha Holland Karla Horton Rob Houser David Hufford Amy Hughes Giving new meaning to the word nerd , junior Bill Whitesell displays the acceptable (?) attire for one of the days of the Spirit Week festivities, phoioby Wtsaer Junior . lbum— 125 Holly Hunter Brian Hutner Nga Huynh Julie Hyland Michael [esse Cornell Johnson Roxanne Johnson Anthony Jones Beau Jones Tonya Jones Cristine Keane Thomas Kear Elizabeth Kellogg Scott Kohler Melanie Kratzman Wesley LaRue Dao Lam Quang Lam Gerald Lamb Terry Lamb Mary Ann Landon Angela Lee Letrise Lee Jeffrey Livensparger Yasothala Mahasena Raquel Mascorro Kevin Mast Lara McClymonds Lynda McClymonds Gerald McAfee Doing his homework from the night before, Eric Green, junior, passes the time while at his post as a hall monitor, phoio by wise lamming with the keys, junior Tammy Greider types a yearbook story before another deadline arrives, pholo by Wesner 126— Junior Album Barbara McCann Leon McCoy Josette McPike Charles Melton John Melton Margaret Melton Anita Mendez Cheryl Michael Brent Miller Gayle Miller William Miller Dana Mitchell Stephanie Montgomery Austin Morgan Todd Morley Peter Myers Joy Nielsen Margaret Norton Laura Oglesbee Rebecca Osterman Douglas Owens Richard Owens Stacey Palomo Mindy Pape Jeffery Parke Sarah Peebles Brian Philpot Tammy Pierce Kimberlv Plasterer Maria Pfunkett Junior Album — 127 Lisa Rader Stephanie Rannells Viengkham Rattanaray Jeffrey Reed Sandra Reinking Sheri Reiter Todd Reiter Dean Rice Laura Rice Will Riley Damian Roach Carol Roberts Lawrence Robinson Michael Rogers Jennifer Rooks Deron Sanders Jonathan Schlegel Becky Schnitz Willie Scriven Daren Shaffer Timothy Sheppard Howard Slutsky Michael Smith Tamara Smith Donald Snoke Tammy Speith John Stanutz Roger Stephens Terri Stewart Wade Stinson Amy Stone James Streby Jeremy Strom Michael Sullivan Linda Swann Doreen Syndram Cathleen Tatum Beth Taylor Danny Thomas A CONTRAST IN CLOTHING The year blossomed with current fashions as can be seen by our models at the right. The first subject, Dan (at the far right), is dressed in the suppressed socially acceptable style which dominated our vision con- tinuously during the school year. His attire compliments his personality and generally impresses people. Douglas (near right), however, flaunts that carefree style so popular in the larger cities. Dressed for comfort, yet ready for action, Douglas can go anywhere knowing that people will stare in awe at the current (?) fashion. Increase your knowledge of cur- rent fashions by scrutinizing the photos and their captions allowing you to obtain fashion tips useful in designing your own personalized wardrobe for the 80's. So step across that threshold (or the crease in this book) from dreary clothing to outrageous apparel. d. 128 — Junior Album Eugene Welling Chris Wesner ohn Westropp Bridget!

We as sophomores know that this is the year most of us turned sixteen. For some of us it was a year for driver's licenses, dating, and becoming involved in varsity or reserve sports, clubs, or other school activities. For others it was a year for looking toward the future, improving study habits to keep up with the heavier work load provided by the teachers, and possibly working part-time to help with payments on a car or for col- lege. Either way, all of us have learned a great deal and now it is time to move on. 1984's sophomores have definitely left their mark on South Side, and we'll do it again next year as juniors.

Do freshmen worry about how they should act or what they should wear? Do they know what clothes students wear in high school? These questions are generally asked by freshmen on their first day of high school. A lot of freshmen usually have friends to help them through the pain of being a freshman. Having a good school to go to helps them deal mainly with the problems of being a part of the freshman class, but the most important element of having a successful freshman year is having friends.

The people at South Side are here to help the freshman class get off to a good start. They try to keep the entire class going in the right direction throughout their en- tire high school years. Many people are always telling the freshmen, High school years are the best years of your life! How does a freshman feel about be- ing the baby of high school? Being a freshman isn't very much fun because we are the youngest class at South Side and the upperclassmen pick on the freshmen! stated Misty Rork. Do the freshmen get nervous about coming to high school? Is high school what they expected it to be? Freshman student Shannan Emmons said, I feel pretty good and secure about going to South Side. All of my friends go to South and no one is really a stranger. Jaree Ervin replied, I didn't feel nervous about coming to South Side because almost everyone I know is here at South. I didn't have anything to worry about. Freshmen do have a chance to sur- vive their first year in high school. With the help of friends, teachers, and their families they will survive. Freshmen understood this was the year to start get- ting geared up for being sophomores. They made the best of their year, and they did survive.

We take for granted the hard work that is provided to us with a clean, organized, and struc- tured system through which we can learn. Without the hard working administra- tion, from the principal to the secretaries. South Side would be lost in a chaotic mess. The structure and regulation that they provide is essential to our education and scholastic well-being. Our counselors provide us with im- mense help in making extremely impor- tant decisions that will literally shape our lives. Their guidance through the years and in years to come can never be equaled in thanks. Our custodial staff plays an important role in the upkeeping of our school through the necessary common duties. They provide us with everything from clean rooms and hallways to functioning lighting and heating necessities. Without hesitation, they cleaned and repaired Jack E. Weicker, Principal Richard E.

Another vital force behind our school is the men and women who keep our stomachs full during the daily school ritual, lunch. Every day throughout the school year, all of the kitchen staff, from the truck drivers, to the cooks, to the dish washers, kept us with an abundant supply of nourishment. The teaching staff is probably the most recognized part of South Side's educational upkeeping. It is with these people, whom we have daily contact with. They are the direct source that provides the students with the option of gaining important knowledge and insights. It is to all of these hard working, car- ing people that the students of South Side award a great and sincere thanks. We recognize their generosity, organiza- tion, help, and knowledge and ap- preciate it greatly.

Friendships bud, true love is found and lost, and tears are cried in joy, happiness, sadness, and pain. Our school is a place where dreams and reality are ever-present. It is a place to learn and to prepare for the future and the many things the world outside South's doors has waiting for each one of us. It's a place where teachers are our friends. Our school is very special; by looking at it from the outside and by looking in- side at the people. These people who walk South's halls and sit in its classrooms are those who fill it with love and memories. — Rhonda Tagtmeyer — The boy woke with a start and sat up quickly in his bed. His eyes shot towards the spot where he had left the large, brown teddy bear earlier. He peered out into the darkness from the warm security of his heavily blanketed bed. The bear was there, on the floor. It seemed closer to the desk now. Had it moved? The boy dismissed the thought with a shudder. He lay back down, remembering the dream he had just awakened from. That was easy enough, it was the same dream he had had for the last two days. The dream started with the boy, himself, enter- ing his own room after the daily ritual. Every night was the same. After dinner, the boy would find something forbidden to meddle with, something to complain about, or something to break. Then came the reprimand followed shortly by a tantrum. He ended up being sent to his bedroom which, as most parents would agree, is a suitable remedy for a tantrum. The boy would then pick up his bear, a gift from a loving grandparent wno had since died, and proceed to release the days frustrations. Blow after blow, kick after kick the bear had taken daily until stuffing seeped from the worn spots and violent rips in the furry cloth flesh. The bear en- dured the wrath of the. child with quiet pride, never uttering a sound, spending the night in the spot where it had fallen earlier. Such it was in the dream as it was in reality. He dreamt of himself falling on the bed, exhausted from the bout with the stuffed bear, passing into a deep slumber. Time passed quickly as he watched himself in the dream breathing heavily, sleeping soundly. Then there was another movement in the room other than the regular rising and falling of his own chest. The bear somehow was inching his way towards the desk. The stuffed bear moved with little difficulty as it reached the desk and climbed onto the chair plac- ed strategically in front of the desk. Small, leather patched paws grasped at the brass handle of the drawer, pulling it open wide. The same paws pushed forward into the messy jumble of crayons, paints, and construction paper. They stopped only to pull forth a slender oDject which gleamed like chrome. From the chair, it was only a small distance to the large bed, allowing easy climbing for the stuff- ed animal. The bear stood at the end of the bed, advancing slowly until he straddled the boys chest. His paws came together to grasp the chrome-like object and raised it high in the air. The object was clear now! The boy could plain- ly see the pair of sharply pointed scissors in the small brown hands. He had cried for hours to be allowed to have a pair of scissors with points in- stead of his old round ones. The scissors gleamed in the dim room then suddenly plunged downward with great swiftness. It was at this point the boy always awakened. Tonight's dream was over though, and the boy was nestled under the covers, falHng back into sleep. Don't be silly, the boy thought to himself as he faded from consciousness, stuffed bears can't walk. ... A bear stood at the foot of a young boy's bed, holding an unidentifiable object; perhaps smiling a smallfelt smile. — Doug Rapp — ■ v' This picture is a s mbol of the futilit of life in a man's time of crisis.

White had befen the faculty advisor of the Times for twenty- one years. Chosen to replace White was Mr. Douglas Laslie, a five year veteran of Northrop's newspaper, What's Bruin?. Making the change from advising a twice- monthly paper to a weekly was quite a challenge, commented Laslie, however, the cooperation of the South Side students, staff, and especially the student editors made the transition smoother than I expected. Other changes eventually came to be in the paper, most of which were in the area of design. A new masthead and a Friday delivery were just two of the changes made during the year. I was glad that many of the changes we made were usually lik- ed, noted Tom Manges, senior and editor-in-chief. Usually the things that people didn't like were in the stories themselves. This year we probably had more letters to the editor than there have been for the last couple of years combined. Not all of them were about the paper, but I'm glad that the readers got more involved, Manges added. Along with Manges at the post of editor-in-chief, junior Mark Clark served as managing editor. Senior Peggy Newton held the job of feature editor while sophomore Craig Chambers worked as news editor. Senior Dianne Zelt served as business manager and Becky Dougherty, senior, was the ex- change editor. Matt Elliott, freshman, became sports editor after a series of changes at that position. Doug Rapp, senior, was named opinion editor at the semester break. After a few minor problems with priorities at the start of the year, everyone worked to make the paper a success, Laslie added. ■K!

It is often busy, bustling, bursting with ac- tivity. The typewriters clacking, pens scribbling, and people asking questions fill the room. Please turn the radio down! And yet, just as often the publications room is quiet. The editor-in-chief re- mains after school alone. At three o'clock she captions. At four o'clock she writes headlines. At five o'clock she draws layouts. At six o'clock she fits pic- tures to pages. At seven o'clock she lays her head upon her arms. She is only resting her eyes — she sleeps. Mr. Lasliel The truck from Texas crashed 'nto a tree, and the yearbooks biew away! I'm sorry, Miss White. There was a fire at the company, and the yearbooks went up in smoke! Mommy, half the pages are missing. Words are blocked out. Faces have been deleted. They censored the yearbook.' Ron, there was a flood in Texas. The yearbooks are Joying warped and soaked at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico! Mr. Weicker, oil was discovered, and the yearbook company was torn down to allow drilling to begin. The books weren't even bound yet! A car honk sounds. She jerks awake. Her ride home waits as she fills her box with copy sheets, quad pacs, and pictures. She may work more when she gets home. She may lug the box to her room and never do a thing with it except lug it back to school in the morning. And there . . . I thought you wanted that story tomorrow. I have to type it on final draft? What if I make a mistake? That's a pretty sweater. This typewriter doesn't work. I think I captioned this picture before. Let's have a party on Friday. You're putting her in the yearbook? What a sleeze. Are we still selling carnations? She turns and closes her eyes. When she faces them again, she laughs— a lit- tle hysterically. Is it worth it? Well, if there are no truck crashes, no fires, no censorships, no floods, no sur- prise oil drills ... If there are no more bad dreams . . . Nice layout, Sarah. Thanks, Mr. Laslie.

At three- years-old, Jesse Martin began his climb to becoming an accomplish- ed artist with this masterpiece. Jesse drew the majority of the art- work, including the cover design, for this year's Totem. We owe a lot to him for adding to our yearbook in a way that no one else could. HALF A AY South Side Alma Mater Hail to thee, O South Side High School, Faithful may we be; Our beloved Alma Mater, We sing our praises to thee. May we always weJJ remember All thy gifts to us so free; And pay homage to thy memory, Hail, South Side High SchooJ, to thee. Once again an entire Archer year has been recorded in the Totem, but more importantly, events of the year are embedded in our hearts. Many of us will go through the motions of summer and will return to South Side next year to sing the fight song, to dress for spirit week, to join clubs or sports, and to be a better all around Archer. However, seniors will spend their precious summer earning money for higher education, entering the armed services or moving up in the business world, and trying desperately to keep close friendships from arastically changing. The 1984-85 school year can never be repeated. The sit-in, the flood, the educational alterations, and the proposed desegregation plan affected all students. Through our memories we will relive a bit of the good, a bit of the bad. Through the years our memories will mellow and our recollections of life at South may alter. Do not forget South Side, but do not return to the past. Remember the time and energy' we gave to South, and remember all she gave to us. She eased the pain during a difficult growing time in our lives. She made us complete, and we completed her. There is nothing halfway about South Side, and there never will be as long as we, her most valuable resource, can honestly say to ourselves and to others, There's nothing halfway about South Side. sharing common interests often leads to a permanent bond between friends.
