Being a student at Central High school is complicated enough without having the burden of a part-time job, but (fortunately or unfortunately), some of us at Central do hold down various jobs. A junior here expressed her feelings about having a part-time job; “It gets monotonous, and inter- feres with study time — and social time, too!” A majority of the working seniors said, “It’s a fact of life, I've got to work to have spending-money”, or, “It's a great way to learn what your abilities and goals are. You learn how to be responsible.” The jobs that Central's students hold are extremely varied. On a Friday or Saturday night, you can see practi- cally every employed Central student at his or her workplace. These places range anywhere from movie-rentals to theaters to clothing and grocery stores. Students often apply for jobs be- cause of pressures from parents or friends to, Be responsible”, or, “Start making some money of your own!” But the main reason they apply is for extra money. This money is usually put to good use; for class rings, car pay- ments, or Christmas presents! Normally, it’s a big hassle to have a job because of grades and school ac- tivities, but in the end , the experience is constantly rewarding. As you gradu- ate and go out on your own, you have some practical experience and know- how with which to tackle life. Tlur ick uP
