Disadvantages grew from living up to the bosses' expectations, scheduling busy hours to fit one's day, and even from the benefits of having extra money. Jobs brought in the bucks, but even extra money was a disadvantage at times. For example, parents tended to look on one as being more able to pay for things such as entertainment, weekend expenses, clothes, and gas. Most paychecks seemed to disappear into thin airg they were eaten up by mostly luxuries. To overcome spendthrift habits, Tracy Opitz saved half her check and spent only the other half. Money wasnlt the only problem, the boss was just one more person one had to please. They expect promptness, neatness and respect. Did bosses expect too much? Kristi Webb, who worked at McDonalds, responded They always expected you to keep busy, even when we had done everything. Contrasting, Stacy Heidrich, who was employed at Hardee's, said '4They donyt expect you to do anything that you didn't know you already had to.', Many juniors found it hard to go to school activities like sporting events or concerts. Troy Van Drman stated, It was by chance that I could go do something, it all depended on whether I was scheduled or notf' A majority of the juniors ended up fitting all they could into a day as they learned to appreciate their free time. 24 Juniors .is if f

For some it was like a prison, a place where all they did was work. For others it was just something to do. Some people donlt like to spend their day in front of a TV. And a few saw Roncalli as a place where they learned and grew, a place they were really going to miss in the years to come. For juniors it seemed like high school would last forever, but they started ' to realize that time was getting short. It would be hard for them to leave Roncalli after their senior year. R0ncalli is like my second familyf' said Jill Sjodin. Going to the same school for three years can cause a person to become strongly attached to it, especially with the atmosphere here. 'AI think there was a sense of unity, and a feeling of friendship between everyone, said Lori Kessler. Of course every school has a few bad aspects, and what with the bad heating, dimly lit halls, and the leaky ceilings, it may have seemed like Roncalli had more than its share of drawbacks. But stop for a moment and think about all the things at Roncalli yould miss: your friends, the teachers, football games, dances . . . the list goes on and on.
