Expense-pressed teens profit from employment To earn spending money, to save for education, or to help support their families, Wildcats joined pay- rolls of several area businesses. Students’ part-time occupations included toiling as hospital aides, waitresses and carhops, gas station attendants, stock boys and cashiers, babysitters, secretaries, music in- structors and sales clerks. School activities provided jobs such as cafeteria workers and tick- et sellers for a few students. Working on a volunteer basis out- side of school, HHS’ers served as Sunday school teachers, candy strip- ers and Neighborhood Youth Corps- men. In school they offered their services as office aides, monitors, bookstore and guidance workers. Arranging accessories on shelf, Marian Crandbois fulfills her job in men’s clothing shop. Filling a family order, Ruth Rattay works as a counter girl for a chicken carry-out firm. Working part-time at a lumber company, Leslie Cheatham operates a hydraulic lift. 10

Fads , foods , fun , fashion deplete student wallets Fads, foods, fun and fashion de- pleted students’ funds. Average ac- tive Wildcats spent approximately $500 annually on school-associated expenses. HHS’ers disbursed dollars on top records “Those Were the Days,” “Love Child,” Hey Jude,” and movie blockbusters “Rosema- ry’s Baby,” “The Boston Strangler ” and Cone With the Wind.” Fashion-minded students acquired sweater vests, wide ties and muf- flers. Girls donned culottes, leath- er outfits, ruffled blouses and heel- to-toe pants. Boys wore turtle- necks, and CPO and army jackets.
