Students Make The Bucks The work experience program at Arcadia High gave an opportunity for interested students to explore the different working fields that appealed to them. Not only did students have a variety of jobs to choose from, the information pertaining to each job fsuch as how much education is needed and what type of training is requiredp was available at the Career Guidance Center. Sign-up sheets to become involved with Arcadia's work program grew considerably. Many students found getting out of school early and bringing in a paycheck, along with their report card gives them more freedom to buy what they want and to go more places. Such outlets as Taco Lita, various gas stations, and office work, were a few educating stations that students worked at. Hinshaw's Department Store and Santa Anita Fashion Park employed many of the Arcadia's work experience people. A time sheet was required to be filled out each week and turned into different teachers depending upon the various jobs. Also a periodic check was taken by the school to measure how the participating students were doing. There were many Apaches, however, that were not involved in the work experience program but had shown they were capable of going to school full-time and also hold down a part-time job. This job usually took up after school time in addition to weekends. Most students were working anywhere from 42 to 20 hours a week. Some working students felt that it was difficult to give their best to both school and work. When you get home from work and your tired but you have to stay up and do your homework. This makes it hard to get up in the morning and by the end of the day you are too tired to go to work. Sometimes work got in the way for those who were involved in extra-curricular activities. Still, regardless of the sacrifices, students felt that the work experience program was one that was worthwhile, and that the income they were provided with gave them a spending quantity that was comfortable.
