Being a candy striper as a volunteer at the hospital is how some students help others instead of receiving a regular pay check. Students riiwf What?!? You can't even take out the garbage and you want to get a job?!? I'm sure many sophomores heard these words, or something close to it when they decided to switch off their MTV and went out into the real world. More and more sophomores had jobs this past year. But why? Could it befor the work experience, or maybe for the chance to help out a fellow human being. Nah! We all know it's for the money. I really needed the money said Lori Folla, who works part-time in a video rental store. M y mom said it was about time. Now I have to buy my own clothes. I just wanted something to do over the summer, said Erin Rose. Erin works at a sandwich shop in Oakridge Mall. I just kept the job through the year. Believe it or not, there is a rare breed that don't work for the money. Take, for instance, Nancy Murray. Nancy candy stripes at Santa Teresa hospital. I did it because I thought it would be good work experience for future careers. But why would anyone work for nothing? I get to work with a lot of people and I enjoy that. I bring them the things they need and help them to their cars. I think it'sfun and I enjoy doing it. But Nancyls not the only one. Others, like Lori Mena and Mindy Gabel, volunteer their time to help others too. So you see, getting a job isn't bad, whether your getting paid or not. A job could help you meet new people and teach you a lot about careers. Also, that extra cash will come in good use during those expensive weekend social outings. -jerrod Maruyama 277

the PaP9PW0l'K Homework , it's a dirty word, but we all do it. This year sophomores had more than their share. When we weren't showing off our spirit at sports events or yelling our heads off at the rallies or partying it up on the weekends, we were behind the books. Not only was there more homework but more difficult homework as well. I mean sometimes you actually had to turn down the radio or turn off the television. We had to survive harder three four classes, we tried to get by the next level math class, and if you were lucky, you had to struggle through english with Mr. Allen. This year sophomores were hit with a variety of tests. We had everything from driving tests to competency tests. Oh yeah, don't forget the always exciting A.S.V.A.B. testing. Though it wasn't too much it was more than enough to keep a sophomore busy. So don't sit back yet sophomores. We still have two more years ahead of us and from what I hear it just gets worse. So good luck sophomores. Were all going to need it. N4 S Si? E. XM 1 Y as . gig 'Rai gk I .Lp if E? WN?-'lf-215.5 X T' TTA X X X Q A 220 I PIIIIMIIIE lit Y
