NEW MURPHY MART LEADING EMPLOYER Working had become an accepted thing for high school students, along with the reaUzation that jobs are hard to find. Students work for money and independence. Further education brings a need for work into the student’s lives. College expenses are rising. Stu¬ dents must learn to take the responsibility of paying for these expenses and others. Aubums new Murphy Mart was one of the largest employers with seven students. Others were McDonalds, Foodland, Shakeshop, Platner’s Kruger’s Market, Lin¬ coln Life, and Burger Chef. We also had students who were employed on farms to help farmers with crops. Jobs 21

FORD AND REAGAN BATTLE FOR VOTES One of the most outstanding world events was the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. Hearst, a news¬ paper heiress, was allegedly ab¬ ducted and held captive by the SLA. Patty was finally discovered and convicted of bank robbery. Her defense caused great controversy: was she brainwashed or not? ALF-CIO leader, Jimmy Hoffa, was also kidnapped, but he was never found. Spring was a time for primary elections. Jimmy Carter surprised the nation by leading the Demo¬ cratic primary. Reagan and Ford fought a tough battle for Repub¬ lican delegates. For the first time, a major city went bankrupt. New York City declared its bankruptcy and re¬ ceived federal aid. Pet rocks, mood rings, afros, and CB radios were among the fads to hit. The biggest movie was “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’’. above: HEEEEEEEEY-Displaying their Fonzie t-shirts and thongs, Sarah Mavity and Lori Babbit imitate Fonzie’s famous greeting, left: FINALLY 18 Voting for the first time, John Blomeke examines a sample ballot before entering the real booth.
