You know what they say . . . Money changes everything here was an old woman who lived in a shoe with so many children what could she do? “PII send them to Magnet High School,” she thought. CJpon their return from their first day, excitedly they chattered all at the same time about the latest fashions, books, prom and sen¬ ior rings. The seniors were focusing on college and graduation. The poor woman stared at her checkbook in dismay wondering what she could do. To the children, the solution was ciear. They each decided a job they would pursue. The woman was amazed with her childrerTs preception and realized they were headed in the right direction. While many students rely on parents or odd jobs for the extra funds they need, there are those who have after school jobs. The list of high school employers ranges from fast food restaurants to local malis. Some are lucky enough to have glamorous jobs like Gregg Ashley. He is a disc jockey at the radio station KWKH. After the question of the source of in¬ come has been answered. where is the in¬ come itself spent? Music Stores are a ha- ven for the musically inclined while cloth ing Stores are another all time favorite. Movies, food, and also school functions require money, too. Some students enjoy the privileges of personal checking accounts and credit cards. What does having money mean to the money-maker? “Power,” States 2 • year veteran Clint Lyndsay. According to senior Gina Johnson, “lt’s just one way to get in more trouble.” Freshman Susan Bryant says, ‘‘I try to use my money wisely. I set aside some of it to invest and I blow the rest of it on clothes and other things I want. Some Magnet students say they are cau- tious with their own money but when it comes to their parents giving them money that’s a different story. Money here, money there, it seems as if money is everywhere with the number of Magnet students holding after school jobs. Even those without jobs find themselves with money from either odd jobs or par¬ ents. Such as freshman Elizabeth Douvier who spends many of her weekends baby- sitting in order to have her own spending money. While most high school students spend money in the same way, one impor¬ tant aspect sets Caddo Magnet students apart from the rest. We deal with money matters in a different way, in a style all our own. Monica Rosprim shows her South Park fans how to make her favorite dish, a corndog. The big smile on her face shows the satisfaction of her “brave” accom- plishment. 26 • Student Life
