High school employees, that's what. Approximately forty- one percent of all high school students hold part- time jobs. Some only work for three months during the summer in the S.P.O.R.T. program or on harvest, while others work anywhere from ten to 45 hours a week during the school year. Teens use their job money to buy clothes, sports equipment, tapes, fast food, slick cars, ste- reos, and to save money for college. Nationally, an estimated 45 billion dol- lars a year is spent by stu- dents between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Most students begin working by the time they are sopnomores and con- tinue through their senior year. Some even come home from college during the summer to work at the same place. Our survey shows that there are some talented and energetic people in our school system. James Pratt takes professional ictures of weddines and anquets as a way of earn- ing money while Rod and Kevin Helton may earn over $2000 during the summer by mowing and trimming lawns. John Cur- tis also mows grass, how- ever, he is in charge of the golf course at the Country Club. Toni Jantz even tried her hand at being an Avon Lady while KirK Priddy and Randy Patzkowski get up early (most of the time) to deliver the Enid Morn- ing News to the door steps of almost everyone in town.

Micah goes from town to town team roping, riding broncs, and hopefully winning. Jobs of all types from the ordinary to the unique are part of the lives of most students and this gives them a feeline of responsibility as well as the chance to gain experience in the job market.

COOL SENIORS! Tom Pearson, Lowell Cunningham, )ohn Elwell, and Matt Gard take it easy at the Magic Assembly sponsored by the STUCO. Lifestyles change with the times Lifestyles have changed from 20 years ago — even from three years ago. However the stu- dents have maintained their individuality. Some combined two, tnree, or even four lifestyles. A few students didn't fit in any catagory. However, the lives that developed came from a popular philos- ophy — 'rollin' with the flow.' It was easy to spot four different types of students at school. There were the scared, unsure freshmen, who wandered around with their eyes glued to door frames as they tried to figure out room num- bers. There were noisy sophomores, who re- newed old acquaintances everytime they saw one another. Juniors, the all- knowing bunch, thought they had finally 'arrived ana walked the halls laughing at the freshmen, giving them wrong direc- tions, and telling the sophomores to respect their elders and be auiet. The 'joe cool' crowd had to be the seniors. Showing their obvious 'maturity' they shuffled down the halls with a quiet air of su- periority. The senior girls became sentimental about their last year of high school and the boys developed their 'jock' im- age by dating the awed freshman girls. Aside from the obvious age difference in stu- dents, however, there were special interests that set each person apart as a distinctive individual. For instance, athletes attend- ed practice every day after school, making it hard for them to keep up with the action that hap- pened directly after school. Girl basketball players could not take a fourth hour class because of practice. So classes like yearbook and zoology were out for them. Many times a Vo-Tech student had to choose between band and athletics since oand was first hour and athletics last, and vo-tech was a half day. As the economy squeezed down, students were faced with the ever- increasing need for mon- ey. Jobs became a necessi- ty for some. Working after school and on Saturdays took away the time indi- viduals could be doing other activities. FFA mem- bers had little time, as many had to be up by 5:30 every morning to feed livestock. Fatstock shows all over the state demand- ed more time from the aggies. Musicians had it rough, too. Bandsmen taking pri- vate lessons had to put in extra practice time daily. If jazz band happened to be their interest, they had to attend jazz practice an hour before school every morning. Although special inter- ests separated individuals, there were interests ev- eryone had in common. Everyone lived in Fairview and everyone went to school at FHS — and that was the major interest that made lifestyles spe- cial. 20 Lifestyles
