Value valued by most: dollar bill Money: the most sought after of all commodities. Money is usually obtained by getting a job, though the job may be anything but usual. Many students land a job such as busing dishes, working at a fast food place, or working at a department store. Some adventurous souls, however, break out of the mundane and work at such things as repairing clocks, working at a wood mill, or serving trays at a hospital. With or without? Hold the pickle! Big Mac? such are some common cries in a fast food place. Working at a fast food restaurant is more than snitching a coke from time to time, grabbing a smoke, and working only a little. It involves assignments such as working at a cash register during rush hour with no letup for three-quarters of an hour, or scraping gooey bubble gum off of tables and chairs. The realm of volunteer work is 11 TICK-TOCK . . . Cindy Benmour resets the weights in a grandfather clock, one of over 100 that are in the shop in which she works. Cindy both repairs and sells clocks. PEANUTS FOR SALE . . .Someone you may expect to see at many of the games at Market Square Arena is Claude Cole. Claude is a vendor at other places too, such as Bush Stadium. Here he is selling peanuts during a Racer game. 22 ! Student Jobs another of the many available job opportunities. There exist many organizations and charities in which volunteer work make up a large part of the working force. Some organizations in which Ripple students have participated include United Way, St. Judes Children's Hospital, Muscular Dystrophy, and various hospitals. There are, of course, a few people who aren't old enough or don't want to hold a regular job. These few scrape up any needed funds by babysitting, paper routes, yard work, or anything else that strikes their fancy and fills their pockets. Money's charisma seems to attract teenagers like flies to candy. A student's thirst for those little printed pictures of George will probably never be quenched.

CASTLE OF CANS . . . Craig Von Foerster carefully places the 76th can from his collection of 400 to complete his display. 50215 'tw' Q Countdown to golden 65 hours From 3:00 Friday afternoon to 8:00 Monday morning is a 65 hour span. How did Ripplites occupy themselves during the long-awaited weekend? Giving an exact answer is like eating one Lay's potato chip. However, a generalized breakdown of this time with respect to the non-conformist follows: On Friday afternoon, whether relaxing after the labors of a big week in school or getting ready for a big night out, the hours flew by until the long awaited evening. Going to the game tonight? Students sat through many Rocket games on the hard, not to mention wet or splintery, bleachers. Afterwards, there was a mass migration to pizza and hamburger places to enjoy eating and gossiping about who went to the game with whom and who didn't go with whom. As the Saturday morning cartoons began showing at the break of dawn, some students enjoyed the luxury of sleeping through until noon, while others had to get up and trudge to work or slave around the house working for Mom. Those who could get away met at Broad Ripple Park for a game of touch football or cried and laughed through one of the 31.50 matinees at the Cinemas. One of the most popular Saturday afternoon home-away-from-homes was Glendale Shopping Center. Three kinds of hanger-outers existed: the bench-sitter, the mall-walker, and the pinball-addict. The bench-sitters watched the crowds go by and looked for friends to talk to. The mall-walkers strolled for hours just to say hi to other mall-walkers and bench-sitters. The pinball-addicts spent all their spare time in the Glendale Galleria playing pinball, so dedicated to the game of bumpers and bells that they i5- pj .

Although some stayed at home watching TV, others danced the night away at Ramada Inn or partied at a friend's house. Seeing movies, roller-skating, and bowling were other popular Saturday night activities. After church on Sunday morning, the remainder of the day often featured a re-run of Saturday with homework that had been put off until the last minute interrupting just as commercials do. True to the line As time goes on from Chicago's Color My World, the 65 hours of each weekend passed by, bringing class Monday morning with 127 hours to look forward to until the next weekend. Weekends! 21
