Vcw ways L P Role reversal helps to broaden horizons 1 he normal routine most are used to seeing is rapidly being changed. Girls have been getting more involved with the things guys usually do and are enjoying it. Ag is the only class I look for- ward to going to. I get to learn about farming and I ' m treated like one of the guys. I don ' t get stuck with all the dirty work because it ' s a job that we all have to do, junior Amy Crump said. In the past, when a girl was put in a class that was taken mostly by males it put a strain on her to com- pete to be just as good as one of the guys and keep her female charac- teristics out of the class. Now that this is something more widely ac- cepted, it makes it a lot easier on her. She now can do what she wants to do and not worry about losing her fe- male image. I think that a girl can do just about any job that a guy can do and do it just as good and sometimes even better, senior Tiffany Homs- by said. But girls aren ' t the only ones mak- ing changes. Guys are starting to make the Mr. Mom image popular by becoming more involved in the Home Economics classes offered. In our Family Living class we learn a lot of things that I think will help me out greatly in my everyday life. We talk about love, marriage, communicating with others and how to get along with others, senior A.J. Foulois said. These classes can also prepare stu- dents for careers and for the classes they may have to take in college. I ' m planning on becoming a vet- erinarian and I think that by being in the ag class and working with the animals it will help me for when I get to A M., Crump said. Sitting in a typing class juniors Jeff Webb, Mike Perez and Larry Gonzales hope to increase their skills at typing. Taking typing as freshman Justin Mucleman and James Sydzek hope it will help them in the years to come. 30 I Role Reversals Student Life V ' W

unchies Quick and easi; food for inexpensive price r ast food restaurants made it easy for students to grab a bite to eat before or after spending a night on the town. I hke eating at fast food res- taurants because I usely wait until the last minute before eating,and when it starts getting close to the time I have to be home it makes it good to be able to run in and get something to eat, senior Robert Burnett said. They can also help out people who are in a hurry. I remember one time when I had some place to be at a certain time and we were planning to go out to eat at this fancy place, and we were running late so we stopped off at this fast food place and guess what? We made it on time! senior Chad BerdoU said. One of the reasons fast food res- taurants are so popular is because so many students work at these places after school. I like my job at Dairy Queen because I get to meet a lot of peo- ple working behind the counter. It ' s not as bad of a job as people think, but you have to be able to work well with people to be good at it, senior Tracey Simpson said. Fast food restaurants may not be as elaborate as elegant restaurants, but they sure do come in handy for those on the run or out of time.
