Senior Class of ' 89 Work for a living J obs. Who needs them? After putting in a long, tedious 8 hours of school, why would seniors come home, then go to work putting approximately 5 hours a day, 30 hours a week at work? To put it in plain simple English, MONEY! It goes without saying, money makes the world go round. For most Seniors that ' s the case with having to pay for senior fees, college applications, ranging from $30 to $50, class rings, car payments, and insur- ance. What it all adds up to is major bib bucks. My parents aren ' t stingy, but this year the cost got to be so much that I didn ' t feel comfortable asking them for money, said an anonymous senior. Even though minimum wage isn ' t much it ' s something, Jordan Moore said, It stinks! I ' m going to ask for a raise soon! And that ' ll be — Jordan Moore works al Baskin Rob- bins 31 Flavors after school. By Steve Bao For some, finding a job is a job itself, since every employer is looking for exper- ienced workers and being in the right place at the right time is the best asset. But since work is a necessity, the hunt continues. I ' ve been looking for a job for quite sometime now, I really need a job to help pay for all my senior expenses, not only that, but I ' ve got to pay for my own car insurance, too! said Scott Nelson, Senior. There are those who don ' t have to worry about having a job to help pay their own way. As a matter of fact they coast on through with their parents ' money paying for them. I go to night school and as of now I can ' t have a job, I ' m relying solely on my parents ' pocketbook, Sandra Nova, senior. All in all, money isn ' t the only motivation for a senior to take a job, it gives them a sense of responsibility, of being an indepen- dent young adult. What ' s the driving force, the incentive for you to get a job? For me the money! Having a job allows me to be inde- pendent and provides me with extra money needed for my senior year alone. Su- zanne Ignico At first the main reason to get a job was to make mon- ey, to pay for my car. But since I have been working I have gotten a sense of re- sponsibility. said Maria Strommer. The driving force, the in- centive for me to get a job was to show responsibility. I wanted to earn money and put it in the bank and keep it for a good cause. said Dan- ielle Kaplan.

Un- ierclassmen find themselves wanting to langout in the same places as seniors so hat they can be cool, too. But where can hese super cool seniors be found? Just vhere do they hangout at nutrition and dur- ng lunch? Nutrition is the period of time when sen- ors wish they could leave campus but know hat certain school rules restrict them from loing so.

Yet mother popular hangout for seniors during lutrition was the brick wall outside rooms Q and 402. Found here are the laid back eniors kicking it until the bell rings sum- noning them to the next period. By Lea Jayasinghe When ever I ' m not busy with club ac- tivities which usually meet during nutrition or lunch I hangout in room 105. It ' s fun to have a place where I can hangout with my friends and avoid the crowd, said Sandra Nova. Lunch! Hoards of seniors, with off cam- pus passes, flocked toward the exits to es- cape from academics for 40 minutes. How- ever, where di all these seniors go after they passed through the chains that bound them? What parking lot did their fast food restaurants. Burger King and Carls J.R. ranked highly popularity wise among those seniors who drove off campus. Perhaps it was their convenient location which at- tracted the seniors. However, convenient lo- cation was more important to those on foot. My friends and I usually go across the street to subway, seven eleven, pizza restau- rant or the Mexican restaurant nearby. We really have fun. We are one crazy bunch. said Arlene Rhoden. Where do you hangout at nutrition and during lunch? My friends and I hangout at subway regularly, said Rachel Cunningham.
