Some worked simply for the money, some for the experience, and some to be with working friends during summer vaca- tion. “I enjoy working with my friends and having the money to go out on the week- ends,” remarked senior Dennis Garcia.

These busin- esses offered many jobs with good hours and convenient locations to young people. “I work in a large restaurant. With so many employees I can practically pick the hours I want,” stated Junior Ron Ventura. Along side the workers who punched a time clock were the lawn mowers, babysit- ters, car waxers, and those who just did odd jobs. This was excellent for those students with very minimal free time who just need- ed a little bit of extra spending money. “I just do weeding in a garden, but I like it because I get good money tax free, and I am in complete control of my hours,” stated another senior.

The junior class and S.G.A. tied for second with the Latin club placing third. Students were dismissed early Friday afternoon.
