Many students work at McDonald's or Burger King, but students in Co- operative Office Education (COE) choose to work in offices, typing, an- swering phones or filing papers. Senior Karrie Peterson, through an interview set up by COE teacher LaVerne Jones, landed a job at Ar- kansas Computer Systems. Peterson said that she wanted an office job be- cause of the benefits. There are a lot of secretarial ben- efits that most jobs don't have, she said.

It was neat being able to watch the newscasters work, junior Allen Walker said. We even got to get our picture taken with B. J. Sams. The class was the audience for Beth Ward's Arkansas Today show which gave them a chance to see how a show is produced. It was not what I expected. senior Sascha Blick said.

We ate at McDonald's, then we went running around in some build- ings. Beavers said. It was fun. — by Jell Clark NEWS AT 11. Some members of the Journalism 1 and the Banner Staff pose with B. J.
