Afterschool employment peaks J Numerous students raced out of school every day in order to grab a quick bite to eat before heading into the real world of business. Whether working as a bag boy at U-Krops ora cashier at Drug Fair, each student had the same idea — watching the clock slowly tick by while adding up the dol- lars and thinking of a million ways of spending them. Cars, gasoline, mov- ies, and Pizza Hut bills were all rea- sons students felt the need to punch in the time clock day after day. Marshall Bolton works hard at McDonalds. Dereky Martin works as a cashier to earn a little extra money. Jeff Holder is a part-time employee at Har- dees. Tommy Osterbind bags groceries at Safeway after school hours.

Since study time was limited, there were many places throughout the school where students took advantage of those precious few minutes. Whether busily memorizing sixteen lines of poetry in homeroom, cram- ming for a government quiz during lunch, or walking down the hall study- ing feverishly for an algebra test next period, students always found ways to maintain their high academic stan- dards. Mary German translates Le Petit Prince. Brian Tucker looks at his book one last time before the tardy bell rings. Nicole Sutphin believes in being comfortable while studying.

THE CLOVER HILL TIMES Construction changes school environment Two structural additions drew the attention of students during the school year. The most commotion was about the addition of a new wing. Sidewalks were blocked and the noise level increased steadily as construc- tion began in early November. This new addition will provide classrooms for the English and foreign language departments. Sparks flew as a second addition to the school’s surroundings was welded together, resulting in a new water tower to the east of the building. A fence around the construction area effective- ly keeps students at a safe distance. The tower is the last thing students see before boarding buses to leave in the afternoon. Rumbling, heavy machinery is a normal sight on weekday mornings.
