ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET As students enter high school, they usually experience a rude awakening- they need money. And as age 16 rolls around, Mom and Dad aren ' t as apt to part with their funds-which leaves one alternative (dare I say it?) A JOB! Most stu- dents choose Eastfield Mall as their place of employ- ment. Senior Kim Eaton can be found in Sears Credit Central. 1 have to work a lot. she says. But the people are nice and the money is GREAT!! If you stroll down to Anderson Lit- tle, you ' ll find senior Penny Qriswold and junior Dave Desimone. ' Anderson Lit- tle is great, Fenny says. I have a lot of fun, especially when my friends come to visit me. If you continue down the mall to Sacketts, you will find senior Katie Dennis and sophomore Bill Fridlington. If you look next door to Friendly ' s, you will find sophomore Karrie Mur- phy, junior riikki Keller, and senior Keri Belliveau. My favorite part about working here, riikki says, is meet- ing nice customers and get- ting good tips. Junior Ei- leen Blomberg and senior John Chambers can be found at CVS, while senior Shannon Martin can be found at Thorn McCan. I have to work. Shannon says, 1 have to support a car. If you drop by Up ' s-n- Down ' s, you might see sen- iors Kim Diatolevi and Kiki Yamer. Seniors Laurie Wy- sik, Michele Kennedy, Jen Doyle, and junior Amy Da- vidson will be glad to assist you if you stop by the Gap. Elsewhere in Wilbraham: you can find seniors Mike Tarantino, Tina Farrah, Sheila Gallagher, juniors Tara Wholly and Susan Fiedler , and sophomores Kim Venne and Maribeth Li- berty (Phew!!!) at the Village Store in the center of town. Mike seems to agree with everyone in saying Work is fun, but 1 wouldn ' t be doing it if I didn ' t need the mon- ey. Although the mall is a prime hangout place, it is also a place where you can find many of the different Minnechaug students working. Senior Marianne Marchesseault will gladly ring up your purchase at the Weathervane in the Eastfield Mall. Jeff Zahr works happily at his summer job at Lechmere in the Springdale Mall Senior Michele Kennedy care- fully, (oopsl) folds sweaters at her part time job at the Gap in the Eastfield Mall.

SSr W ■ • « « J I On a slow summer afternoon, Becky Emerle waits at the register in the Springdale Mall Papa Gino ' s for the din- ner crowd to arrive. Business is usually slow in the after- noon but this is ridiculous. May I help someone, please? Anyone, anyone? Welcome to the Tan Club is the greeting you will usually get from Kari Chamberlain and Kristen Phillips. They are employed part time here along with Barrie Crocker and Sue Stevenson. r ; i After a busy lunch hour at Friendly ' s in the Eastfield Mall, Peter Spellios re- trieves some hamburger buns from the supply room in the back, preparing him- self for the dinner rush of hungry mall employees and shoppers. AFTER SCHOOL SMACKS are for some of us the biggest and maybe only meal of the day. It really doesn ' t matter what you eat, it ' s just the fact that it is food. Snacks such as cold pizza, Cool Ranch Doritoes, microwave pop- corn, Cape Cod potato chips, Oreos, goldfish, and M M ' s are some of the numerous edibles that we devour after a long, gruel- ing day at Chaug. The one and only thing that keeps us from ruining our appetites for dinner is the constant nagging from our parents to discontinue our eating. This in itself rarely works.

Two more minutes left. The last two minutes of the day always seem to be the longest two minutes of our lives. We can ' t wait to get home. What are we going to do? After the first yearbook meeting, Keely Fitzgerald stays late to finish her list of ideas for the student life section. Missy Moreno waits outside of her H-hall homeroom on the first day of school. She just can ' t wait to see some familiar faces from last year. r FASHION and style are worries of teenagers. To a lot of stu- dents, it doesn ' t matter what they wear as long as it ' s obvious that it is ESPRIT, Benetton, Liz Claiborne, Vision Street Wear, Bugle Boy, Vuarnet, Guess?, Gap, A. O. White, Outback Red, River Trader, B. D. Baggies, or Calvin Klein. Others wear what is in good taste to them, which may include college sweatshirts, rock T-shirts, leather jackets, boxer shorts, ripped stonewashed jeans, short pleated miniskirts, or jean jackets. Even a person ' s shoes can make a statement. Around Minne- chaug, a person will find shoe styles ranging from docksiders to high tops. The name brands on shoes are just as important as the name brands on clothes. The most popular names around Minnechaug are Eastland, Converse, Bass, Dexter, ReeBok, Tretom, and Keds. Whether it be simple, white Keds or bright, red Cons, the shoes that a person wears says a lot about that person. Whether we realize it or not, our last decision before we go to sleep, or our first decision in the morning is what we are going to wear to school, no matter what look you are trying to acheive, great time and effort seems to go into everyone ' s style. Even though people usually don ' t like to admit it, fashion is important to all. After all, first impressions are lasting ones. FIRST DAY
