Marc Bloomenstein and Joanne Gratz quickly figure out the price of a student ' s goodies. A register was bought early in the year, but before then, the students were required to do all the figures mentally. Joanne and Marc spent almost every one of their lunches working in the student store. ■ HAVING FUN is also part of working in the cafeteria. Ellen Lin, Kelly Leddy and Kelly Ward take a break from cleaning to have their picture taken. What a bunch of hams ' If it was all work and no play. I wouldn ' t work in here! exclaimed Kelly Ward.

► PERFORMING ONE of his many duties, Mark Stoffer serves nachos to the students during lunch. Machos were very popular among many of the students. T BEING CHEERFUL is a big part of working in the cafeteria. Ellin Lin proves that she is qualified for the job by smiling and being cheerful. GET PAID DLCINe SCUCCL DATS I 99 do it for the money, commented Kim Simmons, a sophomore who works in the cafeteria. Many stu- dents, as well as adults, prepare the lunches that are served at the cafeteria. When a stu- dent buys his lunch, he doesn ' t realize all the hard work that was put into the preparing of it. Every day each person in the cafeteria has his her own job: bagging the french fries, making a hamburger, pouring a shake, and arranging the combos on the trays are a few of the duties performed. The students who work in the cafeteria dur- ing lunch make $2.50 an hour. A half an hour is put in each day by each of the students. It ' s a lot of hard work, but it ' s fun because my friends work in there too. I don ' t mind spend- ing my lunches in there, especially since I ' m making money, remarked Ellen Lin, a sopho- more who works in the cafeteria. Working in the student store is more profit- able than working in the cafeteria.

Plus they get in more time because the student store is open before school, during brunch, lunch, an d after school. Like in the cafeteria, the students who work in the stu- dent store have a lot of fun as well as a lot of hard work. It ' s always so busy and we all work very hard. But we do have a lot of fun, especially since we are all friends, comment- ed Joanne Gratz, a sophomore. The student store was remodeled by Dale Favier and Marc Bloomenstein early in the year from a window procedure to the now-present walk-in situation. It ' s a lot more organized than before, but I am upset with the way the students are handling themselves. I have scraped seven pieces of gum off the carpet so far, which I feel is uncalled for. If they continue to abuse it, they ' re going to lose it, stated Mr. Favier. 50 Captain and Crew Working On Campus

GATES ACE EECELE A typical conversation of two GATE j (Gifted and Talented Education) stu- — dents at their locker: I ' m tired of other students saying mean things about us brains. They think that just because we ' re GATE students that we ' re geeks and all we ever do is read and do homework! I know! It really bugs me that other stu- dents have to stereotype us like that. I mean, we can ' t help it if we passed the GATE test when we were little and they didn ' t. I just wish they would treat us like ev- T€€! eryone else instead of like we ' re some ex- tra-terrestrial thing from outer space or something. Students who were enrolled in the GATE or AP (advanced placennent) classes often com- I ' m tired of other students saying mean things about us brains. plained that it was a disadvantage to them to be in these classes. They were learning a lot, but could be getting a better grade in a normal class because the standards were greater in the GATE AP classes. But things have changed. In a normal class, ' A ' is counted as 4.0 and a ' B ' as 3.0 on your grade point aver- age, but in a GATE or AP class, an ' A ' is counted as 5.0 and a ' B ' is 4.0. The main reason for this change was to encourage stu- dents to enroll in more challenging classes where the atmosphere Is more geared towards the college-bound student. ' 5 .A Captain and Crew Faculty
