'MXWT A Can You Relate? High schoolyears go by, and as they do, students are involved in many different relationships. Associating with so many different types of people makes these rela- tionships easier to find. All relation- ships are meaningful whether they last for only a couple of months or continue to grow over the years. Friends are an irreplaceable part of high school. With someone by your side, the bad times don't seem so bad and the good times seem ever better. Throughout the years, several acquaintances are made and some develop into lasting friend- ships. It is these few that really make the differences. Parents are very instrumental in their children's lives, especially when high school begins. Parents are a great source of advice, en- couragement and consolation. All parents help in some way, whether it's helping with fund raising and attending extracurricular ac- tivities or by lending their support at home and helping out with the finan- cial burden that high school brings. Students and teachers cannot help but have special relationships. It may just be during one class period or after hours in some ex- tracurricular activity. Teachers are the closest people to a student dur- ing school. Knowing that someone cares enough to help a little extra makes students appreciate their teachers even more. No high school experience would be complete without a special someone to share it with. The walk to classes would be quieter, the lun- ches longer and the weekends lonelier. Boy friends and girl friends play an important role in our lives. Memories of the first love are something to be cherished forever. ,. 5- as 2. i ... .sv relationships 28 Top: Taking off hours from his coaching duties, Coach Mosely gives a little extra help to Keith Marksberry.

All in a ay's Work With the economy on a downward swing, many students found it a necessity to seek employment. An estimated four out of every seven students held a job of some kind. Jobs were plentiful, if one knew where to look for them. Jobs ranged from being a stocker at a grocery store, checker at a department store to delivering pizza, being a switchboard operator and working at Astroworld with a variety of many i i more jobs. Salaries starting between 53.35 and 55.00 an hour were the rule. Jobs were required to finance the average high school teenager's needs and wants: clothing, cars and dates. With the price of things the way they were, money was spent on items ranging from 51.14 for a gallon of gas to 51.50 for a ham- burger. Haircuts cost from 55.00 to 59.00 for the guys and 515.00 to bs jo 30 Upper Right: .left Darnell stacks milk cartons after filling the shelves.

The working student seldom brought his career to school but when pictures, a jacket, or senior in- vitations had to be paid for, you could be sure where the capital was coming from. Jobs were as natural for some students as a Friday night trip to Jack-in-the-Box. The memories and experience will linger with them for the rest of their lives. ,Ji- dps and photos by
