Here are eight good reasons. 1 n the rough Sophomore Jason Sehon plays golf at Park Marina, the world's largest all grass miniature golf course. Creativity a necessity as youths seek I entertainment and excitement Night falls over Redding, and the town comes alive with teen- agers on a quest for excitement. Pine and California Streets are congested beyond imagination with teens cruising or headed for another social standby, the drive- in. Students who find a lack of organized night time activities in Redding use their imaginations to find entertainment. “I’ve got a buddy who likes to climb on the top of Taco Bell res- taurant and ring the bell. said senior Donny Koopman. Sometimes the search is an exercise in futility. My ob- servation is that most kids in Redding waste most of the night driving in cir- cles trying to find their friends, find the party, or to find the teacher’s house, said junior Jason Schwerdt. When out of ideas, students put their heads together.

Senior Kelly McClosky gels ready for the Christmas rush by marking down teddy bears at Kay-Bee Toys. ■ an I help you? Senior Michelle Craig adds up a bill for her outside work experience job at House of Steno. Work only one aspect of school life, studies, activities make demands. Having a job can demand a lot of time, especially to a stu- dent who is trying to achieve in academics, maintain an active social life and balance extra- curricular activities with school. Many students work. Whether it be a receptionist, a cook at McDon- ald's or as a sale- sperson at the mall, jobs take time and effort. Even though a job may cut into so- cial time, It’s worth it, said senior Corey Wick. The exper- ience is important - everyone needs experience.” For sophomore Dania Murphy, it is difficult to bal- ance all her activities.

He has had many jobs, in- cluding work at Long John Silver's and Girimonte’s. Wick is currently a referee for city league soccer teams. Part-time work teaches responsi- bility and commu- nication skills that are necessary for success in more permanent jobs and careers. I can relate to peo- ple better, Wick said. While jobs have advantages, there are disadvantages as well- The only thing I don’t like is working on Friday or Saturday nights,” said Murphy. I'd really rather be out with my friends then.” Elaine Keen JOBS
