Inflation Eats Student s Wages The first job was important. It spelled freedom, freedom to buy that stereo system, car, or clothes. As gas prices rose to staggering heights of 99 and $1.05 a gallon, students wondered if if was worthwhile. Every paycheck seemed to vaporize into the gas tank. Money was also spent on entertainment, such os the Friday night football game or that Saturday night movie, and occasionally a concert. Food, drinks, car insurance, and college were also where part of that paycheck disintegrated. New things bombarded the mind: time cards, minimum wage which raised from $2.65 to $2.90 an hour, uniforms, new skills and courtesy were required in all vocations. Many teachers, parents, employers, counselors and students won- dered whether or not the students could handle jobs and school. Consequently, many settled for a summer or weekend-only job. Hudson was luckily endowed with many businesses which hired young people, so jobs were fairly easy to get. Financial freedom was only an application away. ——: 16 Jobs

Two Ploys Provide Twice The Entertainment The November ploy presented this year included two com- edy plays, The Perils of Priscilla and Switched at the Cross- roads. They were two delightful plays that got the audience involved. Intermission entertainment revolved around an olio which included the song Temptation, and Friend- ship , a barbershop quartet, and Hard Hearted Hannah,” during which the audience threw money at Joan Wood- ward. The Perils of Priscilla cast a villain and a hero. Switched at the Crossroads a Iso featured the good guy and the bad guy. Both created laughter and amusement for all. Director Linda Dleskachek stated that All the rehearsals for the play went well, and one reason for casting two plays was to be able to involve more students.” '77T77yzzr7rmr 18 School Ploy
