Workers wage war on poverty Soliciting the popular fast food restaurants and fiangouts or good friends and relatives, teenagers hoped to find part-time jobs and meet their financial needs. Lori Hackett, who worked part- time at El Dorado Bonk, got her job through her mother who was the vice-president of the bank. Hackett mostly filed checks and occasionally did some port-time cashiering. I like my job because everyone else works at a fast food restaurant, said Hack- ett. With her wages of $4.25 an hour, Hackett was able to buy car insur- ance, gas and clothes. I love to buy clothes, she said. Another job obtained through rel- atives was Tracy dinger ' s job at a dental office answering service. Un- like Hackett whose job conflicted with school, dinger ' s job didn ' t in- terfere with school hours. Even so, it made it hard for her to do her home- work. Like Hackett, buying clothes, paying for gas, and car payments also took up the larger part of her $3.95 an hour wage. Regional Occupational Program (ROPI also provided students with port-time job opportunities. Patti Silva was hired at Cartoon Junction in the City after working for two months under the guidance of ROP. While in the ROP program, Silva earned two units of credit. I have o lot of fun working there because we ' re like a family. I also meet a lot of people, Silva said. Working only on weekends, Sil- va ' s homework did not suffer. It mostly depended on how heavy the week was, she said. — CS One of Chris Trace ' s responsibilifies at McDonald ' s (above right) is to empty the gar- bage from one ol the barrels.

Surfers launch spirited safari Though somewhat stifled by low parlicipotion and bod weather, Pan- ther pride still sparkled on compus during Spirit Week. Monday ' s special assembly touched off the week with a bang. Students had returned to campus that morning to find the Student Centre T.P. ' d in honor of varsity football ' s victory over Canyon. On each day during the week, stu- dents dressed up in a variety of cos- tumes, makeup, and hairstyles. In addition to the costumes, there were many lunchfime activities to en- tertoin the students. The ASB did as good o job os they could with the activities, said Monique Slotnick, who dressed up everyday. I wanted to pull out all the stops since it ' s my senior year, she added. Hey bud, let ' s party! echoed through the halls when spirited stu- dents donned O.P. shorts and Hawai- ian shirts on Surfer Day. During lunch, onlookers cheered the surfed-out students to victory in o volleyball game while others watched the sun- worshippers play beach-blanket- bingo. Surfer Day was my favorite because it was colorful and I like the Beach Boys, said senior Connie Brink. Reminiscent of those turbulent yeors, Sixties-Mod Day saw sign-tot- ing flower children extol peace, love, and harmony. Jean Rozanski, along with many others, enjoyed the return to the past. I liked the sit-in at the Student Centre. Also, a lot of seniors got involved, said Rozanski. Also a favorite. Jungle Day was held Wednesday. I thought that day was fun because I got to wear my vine! said Slotnick about her wild jungle outfit. During lunch, as most tried to eat, students dressed as ad- venturous big-game hunters frantical- ly raced around campus looking for the treasure that would bring them fame and fortune. After the hunt, the contestants gathered in the quad to hear Ty Rice, who won the Tarzan Yell. — DB and EL English teacher Irene MoUhews (right), an en thusiasMc supporter of Spirit Week, disploys her sixties mini skirt.
