Not Enough of the GREEN ... Do you suffer from financial deficiency? Well, Mark Boleware is just one of many Asotin students who does something about his financial deficit. Mark works at the Bridge Street Connection restaurant as a dishwasher. LaAnn Cooper helps out as a nurse’s aide at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Kris Folkins earns extra money at Food City as a Chicken King (he cooks the best fryer in town). “If I didn’t have to work, I’d rather be snowskiing,” said Kris. Gerard Thai and Linda Carpenter are familiar faces at Three Mile Inn. Most students admit that they’re not especially wild about the idea of working, but admit the money is a positive motivator. Albertson’s employee, Angela Bashore ia another student who tackles the problem of low finance while enrolled in school. Angela is just one on a national level of thousands of teens who head off to work when the dismissal bell rings at 3 p.m. There are, however, several problems of holding down a job while going to school. Lack of sleep and social time are just two of the things Mark had to give up. So while it’s not impossible to go to school and hold a job, it can be very demanding. Keeping the job in perspective seems to be the key to success. Right: Joe Sandy is working to further his career. For a while Joe worked at Clarkston’s Burger Ranch, and then moved on to Three Mile Inn. As soon as Joe graduates he would like to get a job in the hotel management area. He says, “I’m hoping to get experience from this job. Above: Mark Boleware says he enjoys the people he works with and finds that making an extra buck comes in mighty handy.

Munth time, leisure time, meeting time, study time, gossip time! Ah, that afternoon break that divides the class schedule to help make the day o little more bearable. How do A.H.S. students spend their lunch hour? If you ask Mark Boleware, he'll say, I go to Joe Shaw’s house where we watch TV and grab something to eat, if we're lucky. Then there’s the cafeteria with all of the old favorites. If old favorites don't agree with you, however, you could make the trek over to the store. Yet another option is open to those that are able to drive, as Tania Parsons says, It's fun to run over town to Taco Time for a change. Food Service fired up the grills again this year after a two year absence. The regular menu was spiced up with daily specials such as Mexicon soup, pita and Denver sandwiches, baked potatoes, and cookie-ice cream sandwiches. Audra Alexander praised Food Service, Why go anywhere else when there are such good cooks in Food Service?” Thank goodness, there is one class we can all pass; after all, who can flunk lunch? Right: Jeff Mullins said, I like to cook the All American Meal' the best — hamburgers, fries, and a shake. Center: Crystal Petty, Karma Smith,. Colleen Sullivan, and Liz Smith all say, We like hanging out with friends and talking to each other during lunch.” 16 Lunchtime Student Life
