First Baptist members ' ' eagerly await the Halloween hayride held on October 29. Excitement Church groups in the spotlight C hurch group activities varied throughout the year. The Thanksgiving and Christmas season brought projects like cann- ed food drives for the poor and the delivery of food to needy families. I think it's a caring, generous ac- tion when the church provides a more meaningful holiday season for the needy, remarked Nancy Dean, sophomore. However, a lighter side of religious activities also attracted a number of students. Many Southsiders enjoyed skiing excur- sions during spring break. For most youth groups, the Colorado slopes were the favorite snow spots. I feel that the people in my youth group tGrand Avenue Baptistl became closer during our ski trip to Crested .

Hit the Rood Out of town trips give students a break T he phrase being on the road may sound unappealing to some, but for most it means more than just putting miles on a speedometer. Several students traveled to Washington and New York with the Northwest Arkansas Methodist Youth Conference last fall. Sophomore Heather Shipley had the following to say about her ex- perience: I feel fortunate to have been able to visit two big cities. It changed my definition of 'life in the big city', pretty quickly. Other students went to St. Louis with the newspaper and yearbook staff to the national journalism con- vention. Some felt that Christmas and spring break were appropriate for snow skiing in Colorado, and some traveled only as far as Tulsa to shop for a day. Far or near, road trips always seem to occupy time in a Southsider's life. , .M A .Kwai frank if ri, ' 5 ,A ' f nrt x . ,, .

Chorus took many trips this year much to the satisfaction of junior Michelle King. Rebel spirit was high this year, and many caravans to the out-of-town games were formed, like this one to Greenwood.
