Jobs Are The find for their teenagers to do at home. Ben Shaw complains. ”My mother always makes me change my little sister’s diapers.” A dirty job to handle there. Other fun” odd jobs are cleaning the house, mowing and or raking the lawn. Andrea Bennett adds, My least favorite odd job is mopping the floor because it takes up so much of my time. There is no stopping the wide range and variety of odd jobs. Every job is unique, from cleaning the bathroom, to cleaning the cat’s liter box or tying egg sacks at a tackle shop like Kristy Michaels, to Dave McIntyre who works at the Public Library, each job has its own special qualities and rewards depending on what you as an individual make of it. Announcing Thursday s weather forecast, Jodi Weisbrod tries to make it interesting for all her lis- teners on 90.5 WBXL. Sue Williamson Marcia Grutka Susan Williamson A tedious, but well-worth the effort odd job. Jessica DeCerce and Tina McKeigue keep stats for the boy’s Varsity soccer team. Odd Jobs Odd Outrageous, Distinct, and Different jobs. Ever had one? Some people volunteer their time to help out at school. John Bracciante is one of many photographers who take pictures for the yearbook. The radio station. WBXL at Baker, is run by Mr. Jenner but its general manager is the school’s own Kevin Dawley. Jodi Drew helps out around school by keeping stats for the girl’s soccer team. And after the Homecoming dance that the Music department sponsored, students from chorus and the A.P. English class volunteered to clean up. Teenagers will do almost anything to make money» either to help to pay for a new car or to take that hot girl out on a date, a little cash is required. Chris Griffith can vouch for that. He has a job delivering empty caskets to Funeral Homes. Another interesting way to make money is to drive around in a truck looking for mosquito larvae like Doug Foster did this summer. This job helped control the amount of mosquitoes in Central New York. Suzette Berrafato and Kim Presley will tell you that they earned some money working at the zoo this summer selling hotdogs, popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream, not to mention that a few days Kim came home with pink eyebrows and hair from making the cotton candy. A couple of students share their talent, especially Sue Williamson and Gina Lamparella who teach gymnastics to eager little kids. No one can forget the odd jobs that parents

 RULES Busted again! What were you doing this time? Running in the hall? Writing on a desk? Or perhaps drinking from a glass bottle? Maybe you forgot your socks for gym. There sure seem to be a lot of rules at this school) many of the smaller ones are broken every day. If you glance around the corridor in the morning or at the end of the day, you’re bound to see a multitude of Walkmans. Most of us, especially the upperclassmen, have been caught at our lockers without a pass. Crimes” such as these may result in punishment—staying after school, spending time in the ISP room, even go- ing to see the principal—but in general they’re harmless. It’s actions like driving after 9:00 or skipping school that can cause serious trouble. Some students manage to pull it off, but others wouldn't even try. ARE THE When we do get caught in the act, we automatically try to protect ourselves. They made me do it,” we say, or The teacher gave me permission,” or I for- got” ... anything to look innocent. There are times when we can’t escape the blame. Then, we just grin and bear it. The tendency for no-no’s” can be a small part of high school. But if we fol- lowed all of the rules all of the time, imagine how boring school would be!
