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

sadie hawkins 32 Hillbillies Invade School On your Mark! Get set! Go! was the cry. They're off, hopping, trip- ping and falling down in their lanes but always striving to reach the finish line. At last a winner was pro- claimed andthe victorious teams ar- rived to accept their trophies. Thus went the annual Sadie Hawkins races where students and faculty representatives from each club participated in sack races, wheelbarrow races and three legged races. Pig trophies and ribbons were awarded to the winners. In a crawling, wiggling mass, wheel barrow contestants do their best to make their way to the finish line. Upper Right: Worn out by the day's activities, Debbie Guerra leans on Cindi Baronoskie and Mark Burt for support during the break between assemblies. Lower Right: Showing the new Ilnes in race wear, Donny Thompson hopes that it will give him the edge over his opponents in the sack race. The week of March 12-15 saw the school filled with students dressed as hillbillies, collecting pennies for votes. Pennies were turned in every day so only the MacArtair staff, the sponsoring organization, knew the winners until they were revealed Thursday night at the Senate spon- sored dance. Frankie Flores representing the Band and Teresa Rex representing the French Club took top honors. Each received a trophy with a chicken on top. dps by
