Fourth of seniors combine employment, school Approximately a fourth of Mann’s graduates were employed in a variety of jobs during their high school years. Em¬ ployment was sometimes weekend work only, or four to five hours after the school day. Occasionally students were pro¬ grammed for a half-day of class work, utilizing the remainder of the time for the job and school work. Reasons for this strenuous schedule ranged from providing luxuries, usually cars to saving for post-highschool edu¬ cation or aiding parents in caring for families. Grocery stores, gas stations and Gary’s mills accounted for most of the employ¬ ment among the students, but hospitals, retail stores and restaurants also used teenage help. Charlie Davis, surgical technician at Meth¬ odist Hospital, readies a patient for an operation. Paula Wilson, teen reporter for INFO, news weekly, gets instructions from her boss about next week’s column. Sally Ivankovich, employed at Lincoln’s Carryout is taking an order for a steak sandwich.
