Hey - who’s working the drive thru?” RHYTHM Maybe it was just a song to Grace Jones, but slaving to the rhythm was a lifestyle for many students. For most, just keeping up with activities at school was a never-ending project, but others still chose to take on the additional responsibil- ities of a job.

Fast food jobs were the least desirable, although that's where many students ended up working because of the multitude of outlets and flexible schedules of- fered. Fortunately, working conditions were better at some chains than at others. For example, McDonald's workers were able to wear the high-tech communica- tion headsets, looking as if they had just beamed down from the Starship Enter- prise.

Fortunate- ly, the flashing lights and the wailing of a police car was not ofter heard as students rushed on and off campus. Students used many forms of transportation to get to school on time. Some road bikes, skateboards, scooters or buses, while oth- ers drove cars. When they didn’t feel like getting crushed in a bus, they called on friends. Rodney Stof- flet commented, “Some- times I had so many people to pick up, I didn’t know who half of them were.” The final result was that students got to school any way they could. There were a few, however, that didn’t take the risk of being embar- rassed by their parents such as Jason Hakes. “The only time I rode with my par- ents was when there was no alternative.” So when stu- dents had to get to where they were going, some did it with style, some did it with shame, but at least most of them made it. Senior blondes Karol Rollins and Jodi O’Donnell live up to their stereotype by proving that “blondes aren’t dumb.” tudent Life
