Maintenance, Landscaping I couldn't say exciting, and I wouldn't say boring, but I'd say it is interesting, is how Calvin Pritchard describes his job in Landscaping. His main job is to keep the flowers wa- tered and to keep the roses trimmed. Before coming to the School, Calvin admits that he knew nothing about taking care of or trim- ming roses. He also feels like his job is giving him initative to take respon- sibility. Calvin's overall opinion of his job is: I think it's a necessary func- tion on campus. It's probably one of the prime jobs on campus. You know when you first see a place you get an impression. We make sure that people get a good first impres- sion of the school.

Construction Working in construction has taught Keith Gregory a lot, especially how to deal with people better and how to lay bricks. We assist the brick layers at their job and do basic maintenance, states Keith, a sopho- more Business major. He feels that his job is one of the better jobs on campus and pretty easy overall. Construction, which is supervised by johnny Davis, is a lot of physical work but a practical experience that can be used later. When Keith was asked what one thing he likes best about his job, he stated, I like the flexible hours. The time you work isn't as important as how much you work as long as you get your 20 hours in each week. That's good for when you need to study for some- thing. The really good thing is not working on weekends. UPPER LEFT- David Merritt carefully fills a bucket with ashes at his construction job. UPPER RIGHT- Making sure all screws are tight, Shaun Ledbetter finishes his job. ABOVE- Keith Gregory is not too sure what he is suppose to do next. RIGHT- Keith Schepker has found that the sCho0l's ground is NOT rockless. 146 - Vocations -t
