Theme Stresses A Growing Trend This year’s yearbook theme A Sign of The Times emphasizes a growing trend among high school students in the U.S. more and more high school students in addi- tion to attending classes full time are holding down part time jobs outside of school hours. At Cardinal 30% of the upper- classmen have part time jobs. A large percentage of those working are employed in the area of fast- food. The average number of hours worked per week by Cardi- nal Students is between 16 and 30 hours per week. Students working use wages earned at their jobs for: extra spending money 49%, saving 23%, and a combination of both 28%. Although putting a strain on grades and grade points, most working students agree that it is possible to be successful in school and to hold a job. The degree of success depends upon that stu- dent’s ability to manage his time. Sr. Amanda Opperman serves customers at Jones Cafe. Where she has worked for two years. Amanda spends her money on clothes and entertainment. Filling candy boxes at Tristate Refresh- ments is Sr. Stacie Cooper. Stacie is able to manage work and to maintain high grades in her classes.
