Success on the ‘Outside’ Most students 16 or older at Wahoo High hold down some type of job. With all the weekend, summer, part time and full time jobs available to students, kids were kept busy during their free time. Students, like adults, often hate working; but they don't mind so much every two weeks or so when they get their paychecks. The new Runza Drive Inn gave jobs to many high school students. Other places of employment include Hinky Dinky, Sack ‘N Save, Dairy Queen, Haven House, Walker Tire, Krumel Grain and many other businesses in the area. Some students took odd jobs as farm laborers or babysitting. Once again, seniors were given the option of taking work release. Under this program, seniors were allowed to leave school after fifth hourtogotowork. Only six members used the work release program this year. ABOVE Nice tire, Jim. 25

Students Enjoy Summer Trips LEFT Majorette Gina Lierman proudly leads the band down Main Street in the Walt Disney World parade. BELOW Jason relaxes after touring the Colosseum in Rome. As the month of May came around, most of of the students at Wahoo High were anxious to be dismissed from school and begin summer vacation. All of the hard work of another long school year would be completed, and the relaxing, carefree summer days would begin. Along with summer came the normal lazy activities such as, sleeping in, watching T.V., or spending the day at the pool or the lakes. There also were a great number of students who spent their summertime working. Fun times were the goals of many students. Some students spent time at the four area centennials that were celebrated, and others traveled during the summer months. About a week after school was dismissed, 90 band students flew to Florida to perform in the Walt Disney World parade. The students had raised funds to provide for their trip, which occurs every four years. For three days, the students toured the Disney World and Epcot Center Parks. Two other individuals also ventured on trips this summer. Senior Jason Bromm visited Europe with Henrik, the foreign exchange student who stayed with him the past year. Rhonda Swanson, another senior, also spent time in Europe. She qualified for the trip through the Nebraska Ambassadors of Music. Rhonda and the group of musicians played in various places throughout the continent. As the middle of August came around, students found themselves bored with summer and ready to go back to another long school year. 27
