Trojans employed as salesmen, mechanics, teachers through city As the last 3:20 bell rang in June, students encountered the timeless problem of what to do in their spare time. Summer jobs filled the void, permitting them to enjoy the company of others while fulfilling basic needs and wants. Often summer employment was extended to become a part-time job during the school year. Week-ends and evenings were spent working in a variety of ways, from carrying out groceries to goldfish-sitting. Girls served as cashiers and waitresses, while boys profited as clerks and amateur mechanics. Besides supplementing income, employment developed a sense of responsibility. Students gained a basic knowledge of finance through practical experience. They earned respect from members of the community by proving their ability to compete in the working world. Attempting to sell a customer the latest in fashion is senior Mike Walley.

Thoughts of relaxation spur students toward home at the day ' s end Entertaining thoughts of relaxation and recreation, home-bound students speeded from the confinement of school discipline to the easy-going atmosphere of the home. Reaching their destination, students discarded school clothes, strewing them on any convenient object, and squirmed into more comfortable attire. An investigation prior to an assault on the refrigerator became routine procedure. Chatting on the telephone for two hours and forty minutes or waiting forlornly for it to ring consumed after-school hours. Occasionally, class assignments demanded attention. Students were compelled to spend free time at the Fort Wayne Public Library preparing for burdensome research projects and exasperating essay tests. Homework was one of the fundamental responsibilities to be considered. Public Library facilities come in handy for juniors Kirk Merchant and Gary Morningstar as term papers become due.
