NOONHOUR CHEF ROP restaurant students assumed roles of waiters, wait- resses, and chefs. Lunch hour customers, consisting of teach- ers and other district personel, enjoyed deliciously prepared, and efficiently served meals. Operated by Edie Heath, the ROP restaurant has been in existence for five years. This unique class enables students to increase their knowledge of culinary careers while earning five credits per class. Students enrolled in the ROP restaurant learn, not only the responsibility, but also, the fun involved with workingin a restaurant situation. A ROP chef Carlotta Gutierrez prepares lunch for some lucky teacher. A Tim Reynolds tightens an A bolt. 39

PROFESSIONS: BEYOND BOOKS Two forty-five signals the end of the work day for many stu- dents. For others, the work day is about to begin. Holding ajob represents an obligation to family for some, and to others, a priv- ilege, but to all, extra responsiblity and the opportunity to earn extra money. David Lewis is employed by Dannyis Cafe. Earning four dol- lars an hour has its advantages and drawbacks. Positive aspects, beside the salary, are having an unlimited meal ticket and being able to prepare favorite dishes. Of course, there are on-the-job hazards. Once, while preparing a Lewis speciality, lobster, Dave cut his finger, which required four stitches. Texaco's attraction, according to Jim Anderson, includes meeting interesting individuals. Denny McKissic, another employee of Texaco at Desert Center, is interested in upward mobility in station management. Although Eagle Mountain offers students only a small variety of employment opportunities, those who search, and persevere, find work and earn money. A David Lewis prepares to gamish a sandwich plate.

TALON ISIUSTA PART OE THE EAGLE Munson Jewelers, Kaiser Mine, and Yellow Mart are just a few of the businesses visited by Talon students. Yearbooks cost big bucks. Student prices are defrayed by ad selling junkets. Each year journeys are made to Indio and Blythe. Pens and readied to record the sale, and feet patiently carry hot, anxious ad sellers from business to business. Rejection is a frequent result of ad selling, but after all, it's the business- man's loss. Selling ads is one part of creating a memory. Innovative layouts, flowing copy, and capturing fleeting moments through the photo- graphic medium are but a few of the skills demanded of Talon mem- bers. Hard work and combined staff efforts in all these vital areas result in the Talon which is published yearly and received by students at a year ending dance.
