THROUGH THE CRISES, THEY KEPT RUNNING Thefts of large sums of money occured in the Loft this year. Upsetting as it was, Mr. Scotty Shimnoski stated, These thefts are what being in business is actually about. People will take advantage of you when you don ' t take precautions. The reality of the business world is certainly being driven home to each of my managers and workers. The Loft definately was a very big part of life at Holt High School. A major accomplishment of the Loft management was the designing of the showcase and Loft itself. There were many items of interest sold in the Loft.- folders, shirts, sweatshirts, donuts I2S Loft (everyone ' s favorite), munchies and hats. A new item of the Loft this year was a pencil machine offering both Garfield and Carebear pencils. The workers and managers each had their own view on what it was like to work in the Loft. I like working in the Loft because it gives me retailing experience and it ' s just plain fun! exclaimed junior worker Marlene Florian. Senior Debbie Wilton also felt the Loft offered good experience, but she added, It takes more than what most people might think to run a business.

where do you go it you need career helpr Holt students tiad many opportunities. The Capital Area Career Center was a great way to begin learning about a career. The CACC took in about 70 HHS students every day. They spent approximatley three hours working in the field of their choice. This gave them a chance to learn while also experiencing their career goal. Many students were excited about attending a course to better his or her career. I enjoy working by myself at my own speed on something I like and want to do in my future career, said junior Linda Stine, a student in the medical assistant course. Junior Kristine Hudnut said, It ' s teaching me things about data processing that I wouldn ' t be able to learn at school. An early career could begin with Holt ' s Co-op Program Once enrolled in a program and taking a job-related class, the students experienced, first hand, the work world, said co-adviser Mrs. Anne Kressler. Released for no more than two periods a day during one year of school enrollment, workers spent a minimum of 15 hours a week at $3.35 per hour in a school approved place of business. Their pass fail grade depended upon employer evaluation and instructors ' on-the-job visitations. Making money while getting an education, from senior Tara Thorton ' s point of view, seemed to be one of the main attractions for a successful program. Senior Pam Pratt recommended Co-op because one received a feeling of independence and responsibility centered around learning a skill. But leaving school for a half-day wasn ' t always fun and games . While employees were practicing a profession, other classmates were enjoying school activities such as pep assemblies, spirit week, half- days, student forums and athletic practices and events. Others felt these were small sacrifices compared to the learning of a marketable skill. For those students waiting until after graduation to begin career training the Counseling Center was the place to go. Career Guidence Week, Moise, books, and pamphlets were used to help students to get informa tion on the careers or professions that interested them. The Guidence Office was always open for questions and assistance in career planning. Representatives from colleges, unnci itic- ' an d the military held . helped . great fi}side, ' concluded counseloi Ms Cai j

' new assistant editor Teresa Glynn and editor CREATIVITY MAKES A QUALITY YEARBOOK Every year the Rampages Staff uses all their talent and creativity to produce a well put together yearbook. This year was no exception. All members of the Rampages Staff knew the feeling of pressure that came when the deadline for their pages rolled around. Each person was required to use his her own ideas on yearbook pages. There was always that slight competition between staff members to see who could produce the most unique page. The Rampages photographer, senior Mike Wrigglesworth said, To look back later in life and say, I helped make this is a rewarding part of this class. Junior Kris Bratton said, We all worked together, and had fun but we still got work done, it ' s nice to do something that a lot of people will appreciate in the end. This year the Rampages Staff acquired more than $4000 selling ads which helped produce a more colorful yearbook. The Rampages editor, junior Angel Curtis, exclaimed, It ' s really rewarding and a lot of fun working on the yearbook especially in the end when you get to see the finished product. It makes you feel proud that you had some input on one of the major things in high school. The Rampages Staff certainly had a lot to be proud of. Rampages 129
