This comment by Kim Clark, sophomore, reflected the views of many Newman students, since it often became tedious to constantly accept money from par- ents. Kim was one student who worked for her family owned busi- ness, Don ' s Cheveron. She could usually be found pumping gas and checking oil on the customers ' vehicles after school and on Satur- days. Working was also a good exper- ience because it taught students to budget their time wisely. Senior Beth Samson felt that work doesn ' t really interfere with school because I know that I wouldn ' t be studying if I was at home anyway. I usually find time for studying and homework at night. Not all students worked in their area of interest. As senior Mike Healy, who worked at McDonald ' s, expressed, It is not very likely for this to become my future career. This job is more like a stepping stone. Mike was one of those who worked to save money for future use in college. He did not use his earned income just for pleasures. These students were a few steps ahead of the average high school student, since they have been exposed to the working world. STUDENT LIFE 51
