Employment ««I V Part Time Many students take advantage of part-time em- ployment to get a sneak preview of their futures. Part-time jobs give students an early idea as to their likes and dislikes in the world of work. As well as screening interests, part-time employ- ment gives students a chance to develop skills in a particular area. In addition to the obvious monetary rewards, the student are given a chance to exhibit the responsibility they have developed. When asked why they worked, the majority of the students replied quickly, “Money!” 8 Student Life

Elections, Assassinations, Homecomings National and state events played a vital part in shaping the 1981 school year. The economy, vio- lence, and progress all affected life at Canton High. Of more immediate importance, however, was the Dakota Proposition. Dakota Proposition was a movement on the part of taxpayers to curb rising taxes. Local school districts could have felt the monetary belt-tightening. Olympics and politics became inter-twined as the United States initiated a boycott of the Moscow- based summer events in protest of Russia’s invasion of Afganistan.
