JOBS This year, quite a few Edina-East students chose to find employment outside of their regular school activities. Many employers were happy to hire eager high school aged help. The Southdale Target store and the new Brothers Restaurant on 50th and France were reknowned for hiring an abundance of East students.

In addition to these, gaining work experience and meeting new friends were the highest bonuses. In spite of the advantages of a part-time job, there were times when working didn't appeal so readily - like Friday nights for instance.

However, most were faithful to their responsibilities and reaped the benefits. 21 Egging groceries for customers at Byerly's, junior Dave Shay thinks about a way to quench his growing thirst.
