Seaholm Breadwinners What do you do if you ' re broke and you need money fast? Do what senior Bob Matz did. He went to the Career Center and got a job. 1 went there because I figured that they would have a lot of good opportunities for me. I needed the job to pay for my Senior Trip to Florida and equip- ment for my darkroom at home. The Career Center is a good place to visit if you are looking for a job. A student can go in there, look at all of the different places that are hiring, and apply there. This student has an edge over someone else looking for a job, since he or she already knows the job openings for which to apply. Another way to get a job through the school is by joining either the SEOVEC or the Co-Op programs. Students are assigned jobs from names of employers after having taken specific pre- requisite classes in preparation for these jobs. Several local businesses participate in these programs, including Douglas Cleaners Swensons and Beau- mont Hospital in Royal Oak. The SEOVEC and Co-Op programs The friendly voice at the other end of the line when you call the Baldwin Public Library belongs to junior Ellen Shuster Ellen helps students locate anything they mav need pti i ' - i ' ' n i ) M,,ii.v by Sarah Yorl are designed to prepare stu- dents involved for their futures in a related field of work. Many Seaholm students ob- tain jobs by applying to differ- ent places. Belinda Carter, a junior who works as a cashier at Bonanza, applied there after her brother worked at that same restaurant. She said, I enjoy working at Bonanza. They ' re flexible to my sched- ule. I work with interesting people, and learn, too! Junior Jeff Vogel works to meet some of the major costs of his car. He has to pay for the gas and upkeep, as well as the insurance. Jeff feels that his job at Saunders has taught him as much as it has helped him. Working has given me the opportunity to earn spending money and has taught me responsibility and the impor- tance of balancing my home- work with other commit- ments. My summer job at Beverly Hills Athletic Club will allow me to earn money, meet new people and help my summer be more exciting, said Wendy Wagner. It will give me some- thing to do rather than watch soap operas all day! Great Week-Enders Parties are a big part of a Seahom student ' s social life. Ac- cording to junior Wendy Wagner, Parties are a great way to end the week. It ' s fun getting together with friends and having a good time without worring about the past week. Some people party with the same people every week while others choose different compa- nions. Senior Cindy Vanderbrug said, The people I party with are a lot of fun. Sometimes we ' ll go to a non-Seaholm party where we by Sarah York don ' t know anyone, just to meet new people Jon Teachman parties with different people. Different people have different charac- teristics, he explained. Why do people pick parties over other activities? Laura Schmidt answered, More peo- ple around you means more fun!

Movin ' Up The Menu I hu Paul Imagine, if you will, no golden arches, no more Herb, no little fat boy in checkered overalls. Where would you go??? Only one fran- chise stands out over the fast food fracas at Seaholm. It ' s Denny ' s 24 hour eaterie.

However, the conquests of Prince and Madonna soon gave way to a more startling spectacle. Once more, students could throw the cooler and the blanket in the back of the car and head up to Pine Knob to sway on The Hill with everyone from Paul Young and Nik Kershaw to the legendary Beach Boys. They were there when Sting crooned over a sea of raincoats and umbrellas. They were there by Paul Newton when Phil Collins decided that not only was No Jacket Required, but no concert was either. But what would happen when the summer skies faded into winter grey? Students would simply choose to move inside. Seaholmites soon invaded the arenas and concert halls to get a glimpse of The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Jack Wagner. Others could be found braving the midnight crowds at the Birming- ham Theater for tickets to the show that topped them all. Bruce The Boss Springsteen truly won the hearts of Seaholm in 1986.

DONATING TIME iValk of Life Each year Seaholm students stock up on gum, pop, and a radio, put on their most comfort- able shoes, and hit the streets of Birmingham for a five mile trek. Members of all four classes, after receiving monetary pledges, follow a course around Birmingham in order to raise money for a pre-determined charity. This money is totalled for each class and points are given toward Field Day for the class in both the upper and lower schools who raises the most and has the greatest participation. As Kerry Shea proudly asser- ted, Not only does it help a hy Katy Andreae charity and your class at Field Day, it gives people a chance to go out with friends and do something you wouldn ' t usually do. Although participation was slightly below par, it was ail worth it when $1500 was pre- sented to the Mott ' s Children ' s Hospital in Ann Arbor. Leading the senior class, Kristin Hoke, Colleen Roberts, Karen Reynolds, Heather Burch, Kathy Solowczuk, and Dan Demarco set out on their five mile hike. photo by Judy Macey Dance if You Can With the purchase of your Sadie Hawkins ticket, please bring a donation of three or more cans of food.

Barbara Angott Missionaries of Hope A group of students from the First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham left for Camden, New Jersey last June on mis- sionary work to the third most depressed city in the United States. There were twenty-five students involved, fifteen of whom were from Seaholm. They spent a week there run- ning a vacation Bible school for the children and helping at various day care centers throughout Camden. Ten peo- ple ran the vacation Bible school, teaching classes in the morning and painting the church sanctuary in the after- by Kevin Burke noon. The day care division split into groups of two and three and worked throughout Camden and chains of day care centers. The mission was headed by Reverend Stuart Broberg, who become affectionately known to the chil- dren as Reverend Fozzy Bear. The missions were to open the eyes and hearts of all involved, to break down cultural and racial barriers and to see each other as people, one and the same under God.
