Having a job let me have some spending money and a chance to do something on my own, said junior Tina Salyer, an Atz ' employee. I worked about 18-20 hours a week including weekends, com- mented senior Steve Horine, who worked at Rogers in Times Cor- ners. Having a job made me feel good about myself, but it some- times got to be a drag. Most of the students who worked liked having the responsi- bility and enjoyed the money it brought in, but sometimes it inter- fered with their social lives. Claire Lahey, junior, employee of Tater Junction in Glenbrook said, I didn ' t have as much free time, but if there was something spe- cial like a dance, I would usually change my work schedule. My employer was really good about that. Sophomore Brett King worked at the Health Food Shoppe. I could always be doing other things when I had to work. It seemed like all the fun things hap- pened when I was working, he said. Cadets held a wide variety of jobs — everything from cashier to lifeguard to hardware store clerk to carryout in a grocery store to messenger for a law firm to pizza maker. Senior Jon Cordes, a por- ter at Hillcrest Bowl said, I emp- tied ashtrays, swept floors, picked up bottles, and fixed bowling pins when they were out of place. Regardless what the job, the extra money seemed to make it worthwhile for most students. All I do with my money is buy clothes, put gas in the car, and put about $50 in the bank after each pay- check, senior Kris Trygg said. 16 part-time jobs

Freshman Karen Fortmeyer commented, The assembly got us excited about Christmas even though we had three days of school left. Christmas was a time of giving, and Band Director Paul Wills, and Choir Director Robert Vogel con- tributed their time preparing for the Christmas Concerts. They re- hearsed with their groups, de- signed the program, and did nu- merous other jobs such as paint- ing the shell and decorating the auditorium. All of the hard work paid off, however, and the attendance for the concerts was conserva- tively 1600 people, according to Mr. Wills. My greatest joy was sensing the desire of my band members to provide a great musical presentation, he com- mented. The last day of school in 1982 was Christmas at Concordia.
