And for the Kansas C i t y Metro- politan area, we can ex- pect freezing driule overnight, turning into snowfall with an expected accumulation for tive inches, Dan Henry of Action Four News said one chilly December night. Winter hit Grandview early this year with sub-zero tem- peratures and an ice storm over Thanksgiving vacation. Perhaps the most memora- ble of all winter activities was the school sponsored ski trips. The faithful Kinkaid Bus driv- er, Gaylen, chauffeured a bus- full of rowdy students from the plains of Kansas all the way to the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. Snowy days kept students glued to the radio. Students dreamed of at least getting out during fifth hour to battle the cold. A sure last resort to chase away those cold weather blues was as simple as open- ing up the leaky bottle of sun- tan oil, and taking a whiff of that sweet smell of coconut. An instant memory of a warm sun-filled day was sure to ap- pear. Text by Kayden Vold Layout by Jenny Hoo- gensen THE Jlnny Hoogonian IG CHILL What Happened? B3 Winterf23

' A rg-is Q J Q3' , ref' ., 7 , , 4 kr s H WW fin . 33 ef ,wr W hose Job Is It I1 ay There are two kinds of workers in this world. And, whether hunting for a traditional job or one with a little more spice, students searched for a little extra spending money and flexible hours to fit their schedules. For instance there were the Bannister Mall Buddies. They were a large group of students, who inhabited many of the stores encaged in the mall. By selling the latest fads in a small shop, tearing tickets at the theater, or serving meals at the nearby buffet, they spent their afternoons and weekends at the mall. The Buddies weren't alone however. Other Grandview students made their way to a rapidly revamped Truman Corners. The Right Price picked up those left behind by J. Brannam, and Price Chopper and Your Wholesale Club hired a handful of shopping cart rounder-uppers. Let's not forget the fast food chains. A valuable enterprise to every job hunting teenager around. Burger King taught how to make the Whopper bigger, and Godfathers stressed that a combination of anchovies and olives would create the ulti- mate pizza to its employees. The animal clinic in Grandview attracted Janelle Heiman, senior, and Tim Shrout, junior, to work for Dr. Cott. From assisting in operations, cleaning kennels, or grooming and cuddling dogs, they found a special way to earn their extra money. I like it a lot because I get practical experience, Heiman said. I get to see things some kids won't see until they get to vet school. While Amy Kirk, sophomore, pinned and hemmed curtains, Angie Oliver, junior, dressed as a twinkie or a loaf of bread in front of area grocery stores promoting the sale of Hostess snack cakes. In talking about her job, Oliver said, I like watching the little kids. Sometimes they get excited and give you hugs. lt's, well...neat. Yes, in this world there are two kinds of workers, and GHS was no different. Some students spent their extra time earning money the way typical teenagers are expected to do, while others tried something new and different. But, no matter how they earned it, the result was the same-pay day! Text by Leanne Carter and Jennifer Welsh Layout by Stephanie Horner
