Life in working lane becomes pleasant experience, not a E»A«D»A«C E !§ The bell rang at 3:15; it was time to go home, change into a tacky uniform and head to work. Traffic was dreadful and the time on the clock was tick- ing away. Tonight would be hectic, and the place would be packed with kids. Left behind was the trash for the workers to clean up. Such was the life of a working Cadet. Although students made money, working had its disad- vantages and uneasy moments. I was overworked and un- derpaid as a janitor, senior Steve East said. ' And it per- turbed me when trash was not thrown away. ' It really made me mad when people wouldn ' t be sat- isfied with their orders, soph- omore Monika Witmer said about her job at Jeff ' s Coney. The embarrassing part of working at Connie ' s Shoes was when it would take forever to find a shoe and then it would be the wrong color or style junior Kim Klausmeier said. Even though the disadvan- tages did add up, jobs were often fun and full of learning experiences. 1 felt so stupid in my uni- form; I had to wear a brown dress with a pink hat, sopho- more Jenny Bruckner said. Witmer said she learned new responsibilities while working. Working also en- abled her to meet and make new friends. Mot only were student jobs interesting, but teachers also found fun in what they did. The greatest part of my job was to watch a student say A- ha! I ' ve got it, ' Mr. Don Luepke said. — Tonja Zelt While working at Keltsch Pharmacy on Anthony, junior Wendy Qleave stamps the price tags onto the new candy bar, BarNone. Qleave usual- ly spent her evenings after cross country working there. In addition to weeknights, she also worked some weekends.

Food, song scrambling, river monster and eggs: bizarre stunts lure listeners The alarm clock read 6:15 — Click! The Maumee River Monster had just been spotted. It looks like it ' s really angry. It ' s coming closer . . . Shaking off a chill of terror, students realized that it wasn ' t a nightmare that they were awakening from, but it was the voices of those two guys in the morning. I would set my alarm clock for 6:00 and then just lay in bed and listen to the radio for 15 more minutes until I was ready to get up. Sometimes I wouldn ' t get out of bed because I was having so much fun listening to the bizarre things Charlie and Tony would do, junior Kristin Bierlem said. The radio stations and their person- alities were known to pull some off- the-wall stunts. It was really funny when Charlie and Tony ran for the mayor ' s office. If I were of age, I would have voted for them, junior Neil Hudson said. I thought it was hilarious when the personalities of WAJI balanced eggs during the equinox, junior Katie Vogel said. Students often enjoyed listening to and participating in the mini game shows in the mornings. It was fun listening to song scram- bling on WZRQ. I could always guess one of the songs, but the other one I usually didn ' t know. I laughed at the people that called in to guess the songs, but didn ' t know them and sounded really stupid, junior John Martin said. I called in twice to guess what Mr. Food was and won both times. The first time I won cheese doodles and then I won Rice-a-Roni. freshman Krista Knepper said. — Kim Klausmeier Mini-Nag
