Summer Sweat Hey Ann! How would you like to come over to my house this afternoon and play some basket¬ ball? Sorry Brent, but I have to work, she replies. This conversation was popular among students especially during the sum¬ mer. With new shopping centers entering the area, county students were of¬ fered more jobs than ever before. The traditional jobs were also available. These in¬ cluded babysitting, farm chores, cleaning houses and mowing lawns. With new buildings constantly being constructed, howev¬ er, these jobs were some¬ times left behind. Jamesway opened June 29 in Timberville. One em¬ ployee, Steve Elliott, com¬ ments I enjoy working at Jamesway except when people ask for items they want and we don ' t have them so we have to take the blame. Food Lion opened Au¬ gust 26 in the same shop¬ ping center. The employ¬ ees began at minimum wage and continued to in¬ crease their salaries. Sev¬ eral students do not have any objections to this, but one employee, Lisa Hang¬ er, remarked, It is a sat¬ isfying job, but I would like to be paid more by the hour. Serving as a waiter or waitress became increas¬ ingly popular. Shoney ' s, Johnny Appleseed, and Hardee ' s greeted many pu¬ pils with employment. With the increase of available jobs, more stu¬ dents sought work. Basket¬ ball and other free time ac¬ tivities were replaced by new occupations. SHADING THE GLARE.

Fair Daze Spectacular lights and live entertainment is not everything that a fair has to offer. Over the summer many students entered ex¬ hibits for competitions. Everything from baked bread to livestock were en¬ tered in judged contests. The entries had to be pre¬ pared by the second day of the fair. Prizes of ribbons and money were awarded. “For the most part the judging was fair and they give comments on how to improve, said Lanette Fulk. Several students entered this summer. Participants included Wendi Hively, Pete Hostetler, Melissa El¬ liot, Matt Lohr, and Lanette Fulk. They agreed that being a 4-H or FFA member gave them an ad¬ vantage because of the ex¬ perience they acquired by joining these clubs. Preparing for this contest takes much time, effort and practice. Matt Lohr ex¬ plained, “It ' s not all that hard and if you can get bid¬ ders to bid on your lambs, you can make a good bit of money. He was selected as the winner of the Junior Crop Sweepstakes. Melissa Elliott won the Junior Clothing Sweepstakes and Lanette Fulk earned a total of $93.25 in premiums among other awards. Participating in fair com¬ petitions can be fun and al¬ so fulfilling. It was a good learning experience and taught me responsibility, stated Pete Hostetler. Next summer when fair time rolls around, remember that hard work and talent renders rewards. A CLOSE WATCH.
