Deborah is just one of the many high school stu- dents that works. No matter what mali, which fast food Chain, or grocery market a person goes to, nine times out of ten, there will be Magnet students employed there. Having a job has its advantages and its disadvantages. One obvi- ous advantage is the paychecks received every one to two weeks. More advantages are gaining re- sponsibility and learning to follow a schedule. The three major dis¬ advantages about having a job are lack of social life, lack of time for studying and or homework, and last, but not least, having a boss. As far as the advantages go, having money is pretty self ex- planatory, in that we all like to spend it; and basically, if we don’t have it- it can not be spent. Mooching off your parents gets frustrating and old really fast. And not having money around your friends makes you feel like a leech. “If I did not have the spending money I get from my job going out on weekends would be pointless,” said Junior Scott Ma- son. Having a job is definitely a growing experience that teaches a great deal of responsibility. For instance, senior Amy Chrietzberg said, “My dad makes me work because he feels it makes me more independent.” No free time to sit around and be a couch potato is one major disadvantage. “I hate thinking each day at 2:30 that I stili have to go to work instead of getting to go horne and sleep,” said senior John Osmon. Then there is having to work on the weekends when all your friends are out having fun. Kim Clikas said, “I hate hearing about everyone’s pians for the night, when all I can think about is having to work.” Finding a boss that you can get along with is another problem in finding a job. Senior Debbie Haines quit her job because, “my assistant manager was always hassling me and keeping me late at work which interfered with my school work. Having a job definitely has its good and bad points. But a lot of people stick with it just to have the extra money to spend. ALWAYS SMILE AND BE COURTEOUS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

DOFF YOUR DUDS tcCC t6e e ul o£ Ume AND DANCE, osi at Ceaet DAPPER DAN ad Ce ty Spring holds a special air of magic and nights filled with dreams. On Saturday night, May 7, 1988, at the LSUS Ballroom, the junior class pre- sented the junior-senior prom, “Till The End Of Time. ' ’ Juniors clad in shorts and T- shirts began decorating around ten a.m. Saturday morning. Although they had bags under their eyes, they transformed the room to col- ors of peach and green. The hard work was completed late in the afternoon and the ju¬ niors rushed horne or over to a friend’s house to “dress to kill” as senior Jennifer McMul- len stated. At nine p.m. the ballroom doors opened to admit cou- ples who had arrived early. Dressed in formals and tux- edos, they danced to music provided by David Egan and the Yat. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of prom court. Seniors Brian Blade and Shayne Berry reigned as King and Queen of their prom. Their court includ- ed junior lords Troy Bradford, Rob Wolcott, Guy Hamilton, Curtis Bias, and ladies Sunny Smith, Caria Matthews, Leann Planchock, and Tonya Kirken- doll. The evening ended at one a.m. and the couples left to eat breakfast at various places around town. When the doors of the ballroom closed that night, the 1988 junior-senior prom became a memory to last in our minds “Till The End Of Time.” SPICE OF LIFE IF MOM COULD SEE ME NOW.
