84 PA Devotionals thought pro oking Announcements give special attention As much a part of first period as the 8:30 tardy bell or toll call was the daily devo- tional. Each day about 8155 the voice of either Donna Moore, Beth Rowland, Cheri Green, Kmi Kingsley, Carol Porter or Tara Schooler echoed through the school, Although the Student Council met only about once a month, the appointed devo- tional committee, a division of student coun- cil, had a daily job to do. Each girl was responsible for picking her own devotional from a book, newspaper, or other source, and presenting the reading over the public address system every morning for a week before passing the honor on to another committee member. The blaring Barry Manilow songs played to introduce and conclude the devotional may have awakened some weary-eyed souls, but the traditional devotionals were announced to give the students something to think about during the day, chairpersons Donna Moore and Beth Rowland agreed. Then came homeroom. A member of the student council, usually President Roger Watkins, made the announcements concern- ing the days' events and the outcome and schedule of athletic events. The announcements gave the clubs and organizations the attention they deserved but often didn't get, Roger said. The announcements were repeated during fifth period. Also, Student Council was in charge of saying a prayer along with the announce- ments at the beginning of each home foot- ball game. But before any of this could take place, a volunteer from the junior Reserve Officers Training Corps raised the flag in front of the school. 'iThe flag was raised very quickly to show that it couldnt wait to get up there and wave, Sgt. Alvin Fowler said. Then at the end of the day the flag was lowered very slowly because it supposedly wanted to stay up and wave, according to Sgt. Fowler. The flag was then intricately folded into a series of triangles and placed in the front office for the night. A is fr fx bt is . ...k f ..s .

8 jobs bring extra money, ooreers 5.1! By Don Derryberry To most people it would seem as though going to school would be a heavy enough burden to put on one's shoulders. To some, though, it's not. These are the people who have jobs along with going to school. Some of these people work their jobs in order to make spending money. They use it for the weekends and for personal things. Other stu- dents work because it is necessary. They have to help support the family, support them- selves or sometimes support their own fam- ily. Many students have jobs in businesses that they would like to join and work full- time for some day. These people may want to start right after high school or wait and have the company help them through col- lege, or if they do not help, save the money they make and use it for a college education. Some businesses allow the student to set his own hours and work schedule according to their school activities. Other businesses allow the students to come in after school a 64 fl' i ,. s H! 4 i 2 , ' sf-ff' , .
