Whether in the newspaper or a shopping mall, teen- agers seek jobs ranging from stocking shelves, to selling clothes. No matter who you talk to. students had basically the same re- sponse. Senior Lori Kluender. who worked as a telephone solicitor, said she hated repeating. “Hi, my name is Lori.

With an average number of seventy students, the group meets after school twice a week to review resumes, applications, interviews, etiquette, self- awareness, and values. ' ’’The most important thing for a young person to learn while attending school is responsibility. A part time job often helps in this process.” com- mented Mrs. Billie Fisher. There are people working at the Social Security Of- fice. Buck’s Flowers, The 68th District Court and the ever popular, McDonalds. “If you have the patience, determina- tion. and you let the em- ployer know you want the job,” states senior John Hill, “it’s easy to get a job.” If you arc willing to work and need some extra cash, you may want to visit the Job Training Program As- sociation Office (JTPA) in room 301A and get some information; it will help you edge out the competi- tion.

The time we have all been waiting for. Now you are found with the question of where shall we go? What shall we do? This has been the important question for Hint teens since many of the teen attractions were closed last year due to violence and fi- nancial difficulties. Teenagers were able to go to International Skating Rink. Hall Parties at the Ukraman or Kishmagrotto. dances at Our Lady of Lebanon Church and various other teen activities until they folded, leaving students asking what can we do? This year Hint area businesses have set out to reverse this situation by creating clubs exclusively for high school students. Central students attend the Mikatam Teen Connection which has video screens and dance floors, the CLC Express skating rink which also has a dance floor, the county wide high school dances at the Capitol Theatre on Saturday nights, or concerts at the Capitol Theatre called Hall Shows. Different students have different places designated as their hang-out and others attend all freely. Lori Mayo stated The Mikatam can be fun if you go on Friday night with a lot of friends. Senior, Darlene Tolbert prefers the CLC Teen Express. She remarked, Everybody's there on Sunday nights from 7:00 p.m.—12:00 mid. plus they have a dance floor as well as a skating rink,” Shannon Tolbert, a junior agreed, I like the CLC because there's always lots of people there. Other students attend the All Area High School parties at the Capitol. They are dcc-jayed by a Central alumni and a wide variety of people attend them. Sophomore Jay Joseph stated. “They always play the kind of music I like and there is always a lot of peo- ple. It’s just a good time.’ Junior DeDe Phillips likes to go to the Hall Shows. “On occasion when the Capitol isn’t being used for Def Jam teen dances they have shows. I like the live music and hey. it’s where all the truely groovey people go. Some students prefer to avoid the whole teen music concept. Sophomore. Russell Carson remarked. “I just like to go to the University of Michigan-Flint campus and play basketball.” Senior Kim Brown also shuns teen dances. She says whenever she tries to think of something social to do. she usually chooses to go to Showcase Cinema and sec a movie. She slated. I like to sit m the dark. Movies are entertaining and they help me forget about the bordem that lurks elsewhere in the city. Although students still express the need for more teen outlets, they all agree that the current ones are a welcome alternative to sitting in front of the television for the entire weekend.
