Money, cash, doughill CHS students love to have a little extra for everything they loved to do, whether it was spending it for a night at the at the Pizza Hut, buying the newest “‘to die for’ outfit, or splurging on some of the latest tapes. How did students who survive, usually, on al- lowances raise enough capital to meet these personal needs? Creativity, of course! There was always the old advance on the allowance (parents don’t always fall for that); they could hit-up one of their friends for a short loan. Or if desperation lurked close at hand, there was always that four-letter word that most students detest — W OR Kil Several juniors and seniors, through DECA, hold down full and part-time Jobs throughout the school year. Some work In grocery stores, gas stations, fast food restaurants; others have jobs In manufacturing and offices. Students elther leave for their jobs at the end of fourth period, or they use the time to do homework until their job begins In the evening. Students are required to work a minimum of 45 hours per week; however, the average student works 22 to 30 hours weekly. Chad Lund, who averages 35 hours per week, Is one exception to the rule.

Until the balance was found, homework and friends suffered. Everything was worthwhile, of course, when that paycheck nestled carefully in the wallet or the bank. Knights knew that the major buck was theirs.
