Greg Anderson and Russell Pattieare in comand at Hardees (6). Each year we take a look at life beyond the classroom in the world of work. Some of the jobs listed as “after school are actually a part of school in our work-study program. Many of the jobs, however, aren’t directly related to school and homework, although we can sure learn a great deal about business and life in the part-time jobs that give us the chance to meet the public on a regular basis. Dealing with the customers, some of them not too pleasant at the moment, can be an eye-opening experience! One day this winter, just to get a sense of what jobs our students hold, our photographer started at establishments on the west end of Morton Ave. He worked his way to the east end of “the strip,” stopping to see and to photograph any students who were on the job. The managers of the stores seemed to be interested in having their young workers photographed for the yearbook. We found them very proud of their young workers. 12 After School Jobs

Life At The Bowl A group effort is necessary to make our famous gym, The Bowl, come to life in the winter time during the boys’ basketball season. The coaches, managers, players, teachers, cheerleaders, pom pon girls, band members, flag bearers, scorers and statisticians, and THE FANS get together on a cold night, around 8:00. They fill the concrete, steel, and glass structure with enthusiasm and spirit that we feel is unique in our area. The Bowl was build in the early 1950’s, and it has been the home of Crimson basketball ever since. It also served as a gym for the P.E. classes at the old high school. Now it chiefly serves as the site for all the home boys’ basketball games, although it has recently become a popular spot for people to walk in the winter time when the sidewalks are too slick for exercise walking. To the students, it is THE place to be when a rival like Quincy High School is in town. WE paint our faces red and white, and we cheer and scream with all our might, win or lose. 3 Having fun in the stands are April WihkIs, Nathan Blue, and Carrie McCrary (I). One of the best, and most popular, features of Bowl life is the fresh popped corn sold by the Future Farmers of America (2). Coaches and players on the bench concentrate on the game (3). The jazz hand, under the direction of Mr. Steve Jones, entertains the crowd, before, during, and after the game (4). One of the most colorful traditions in the state is the (lag raising ceremony at The Bowl. The ceremony has continued, virtually un changed, for over 30 years (ft). I 14 Life At The Bowl
