Social Season Was Special Dances Big Successes The 1987-1988 social season began with the traditional SADD dance, and was followed by dances sponsored by Afro-American, the cheerleaders, and by many other organizations as well. The highlights, however, came in the form of Homecoming and King of Hearts. The Homecoming Dance took place on December 12, after a victory over the Bishop Luers Knights. All week the tension had built as Student Council sponsored activities got everyone looking forward to the first semi-formal of the year. Although attendance was down a bit due to a new policy regarding at the door ticket sales, the dance proved to be well worth the wait. The evening reached its climax when the 1987 Homecoming King, Queen and Court were announced. Not new to the dance calendar, yet new in style this year was Philo's annual King of Hearts Dance. In the past, the King and Court were selected by see- ing which contestant could garner the most hearts from Philo girls. This year that was a factor, but the winner was also selected from the number of votes that each contestant received based on pictures of his smile, legs, and eyes, as well as how he was judged on his personality. The dance, on February 13, was also a semi-formal, and was just as pleasing as Homecoming was. Overall the King of Hearts Dance was a fine mix of past and present, in a genuine effort to en- tertain everyone. Like Homecoming, the evening culminated in the an- nouncement of the competition winners. Both dances were excellent, with outstanding effort put into them by everyone involved. Even more pleas- ing than the satisfaction of achieve- ment was the enjoyment reaped by those who attended. — Andrea Muirragui 1987 H OMECOMING COURT: M. Brateman. K. Clark, T. Burns, T. Wagoner, R.

McDonald's It's Just Not A Place To Eat Due South about two blocks from South Side sits an establishment that gives you the break you deserve to- day. Visions of it's golden arches linger in our heads as the math teacher belts out the assignment as the last bell of the day rings. It's only a matter of min- utes before we can be comfortably seated ready to dig into the Chicken McNugget Happy Meal or that hot and cold McDLT. Obviously this place being referred to is none other than McDonald's. As an Archer, McDonald's is a big part in our lives whether it is working there, gathering there, or, ofcourse, in- dulging ourselves with the featured cuisines there. It seems as though South Side students have established the Rudisill McDonald's as the Archer hangout. After a football or basketball game rowdy fans summit themselves in groves to this popular place to meet with friends or to catch a bite to eat. Our spirited crowd is well known to the McDonald's management thus salt and pepper shakers and dinner trays are no where to be found after games. The question, What's going I like to go to McDonalds after games, ofcourse, ev- erybody does. It's a great hangout. I also like to make my plans for the remainder of the evening while I'm there. , — Mary Porter on tonight? is always heard at Mc- Donald's on either Friday nights or Sat- urday nights since it serves as a base to all future plans. The parking of on weekends often can be just as crowded as inside the building. Underclassmen are every- where trying to find a licensed friend to drive them to their next destination. Others are finalizing their evenings plans before taking off. Often when ordering food at Mc- Donald's one is greeted by a smiling Archer face ready to oblige to any request. The reason Archer employ- ment at McDonald's is a high number may be because of the conveniant location or flexable hours that can be adjusted around school hours and activities. Thus McDonald's has become more than just a place to eat. We go there to unite and be seen as a group. The spirit and pride comes along with us. If they only knew this is our place. — Buffy Newton Mmmmm! exclaims Thomas Blackburn's taste buds as he bites into o Big Mac at McDonald's. photo by Newton The spirited crowd rejoices in McDonald's lobby after another victorious football game photo by Newton McDonald's — 1 1
