The summer of '86 saw many high school students working hard for their money!! Some of our students never stopped working when school let out in June. Instead of taking a leisurely break, many held tiring summer jobs. Whether the work was at a local fast-food restaurant, a supermarket, or one of the ice cream stores, the jobs provided the students with the extra money that they needed. Therefore, these jobs were very worthwhile! lt didn't matter if the rea- son for work was to save for college, buy a car, or just to have some spending money, the check which came at the end of the week was the primary purpose and it was usually put to good use. Of course, these summer jobs brought the students difficulties as well as re- wards. They may have ceased the day-to-day tur- moil over parents handing out money, but it was not every day that one truly wanted to go to work. The most unbearable part of holding a summer job was having to endure a very warm day at work while friends lounged around on the beach. Employment gave a feel- ing of responsibility, not to mention a new sense of pride. Each student earned his money on his own, and he would spend it where and when he pleased. Struggling through their summer hardships and returning to the every day life of a high school stu- dent, they only hoped to make it work as well in their classes as they had during the summer.
