To .aies N : 4f'..,4f W mt work. For many of Brookfield Central's students, work does not end with the coming of the weekend. Weekend jobs provide a source of income for the extravagant high school student. Many students spend their weekend nights toiling before cash registers, dirty dishes, and fiery grills in hopes of paying for their expensive tastes, which include all the necessities of life: fast food, movies, and record albums. Cars and colleges or technical schools often require a great deal of saving by the student. Chris Meyer says, My parents want me to work, but I don't mind. The six to nine shift is O.K. because the commission is good and l'm sav- ing for college. After a week of relentless homework, a job is not the most welcome activity. Even so, many students enjoy working because they meet new people and they gain practical experience. Central senior John Mayer remarks, I think that working on weekends is important to me because it develops a sense of responsibility in me and the money is good. As an alternative to working, many students choose vol- unteering. Volunteering is basically the same as a job, except volunteers receive no financial recompense. Junior Sue Nellen states, I spend a lot of my time as an Explorer Police in Elm Grove. When not dispatching, I write reports or help the regular officers with house checks and patrol- ling. I gain an awful lot of practical knowledge, and it doesn't matter that I don't get paid for the hours that I work. Most students who volunteer receive a personal satisfaction from their work, and lifetime occupations often result. Although most students prefer socializing to working, in the end, they agree on the merits of their work, even though they must often give up some of their activities. Whatever type of work chosen by students, most find their job rewarding. ig u .' f A fr uvf I . : 9 ,::f'r5, ii . W ,N ,- v .J 1'-' - .

BEEGWME TCD 8 f Begging to Differ INFFER I think I differ from others because I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a Christian, and that I don't go along with a lot of peopIe's attitudes on drugs and promiscuity and things like that. I Also, I'm not ashamed of the fact that my parents and I are really close and that I have super relationships with both of them. I really love talking with them and being with them. I I really aim to be the nicest person I can possibly be and my goal is to mink of others an the time, in everything i do. I - Susan Worst I don't worry about what others think about my actions - I d what in my mind is right. And I find that I don't look at the present a much as the future, especially when I make decisions. I don't as myself, 'Will I have fun now?' but rather, 'What will the situation be i I ten years from now? I My impression is that most people are just looking out for numbe one, and do what will get them the farthest and the most money. Ma experiences traveling around and meeting people have made m think of what effects my decisions will have on the rest of the world and then I base my goals on that. But just being an individual for the sake of being an individu doesn't have much point to it, except maybe to have fun. You shoul be different because you're more in touch with what's really true, an what needs to be done. - Tim Goltz
