Backpacking into the wilderness can provide the right setting to open your mind and evaluate your thinking. Taking a break from an afternoon excursion are seniors Blake Word and Jim Phillips.

When a football. player bungles a play, he may fall back on his teammates to pull him through. But what is a hang glider to do if he makes a false move? Or what is a rapeller to do if he takes a bad step? Many Southside students are involved in such varied sports as kayaking, archery, skate- boarding, rapelling, and strangely enough-bull riding. Most of these students seem to get in- volved in these sports for three reasons-Q13 theyire fun. 125 they don't force them into depending on anyone.
