After first mixer of the year was held the administration concluded it was a total success in terms of student behavior. In fact there was no reason why any organization couIdn't sponsor more mixers, they said. But the organizations just didn't get going after the initial mixer sponsored by the cheerleaders. There was some highlights mas dance, the dance after the basketball game. I like the Senior Senate Christ- Band Carnival mixer, and the Senior Senate Dirty Dribblers General student apathy provid- ed small but sufficient crowds, mostly consisting of underclassmen. However, students who did come had a good time bumping and doing the hustle. The bands provided usually didn't seem to match-up to most students expectations. But the dances gave a lot of students an opportunity to really lat loose and get rid of some of their frus- trations. Clockwork provided a variety of musical sounds for couples to dance to at the annual Homecoming dance. Junior Sue Vecerka and her date take time out to share a quiet moment after strenuous fast dancing. 16 M ra and Dances

Checking oll is one of the easier tasks Dave Houser does at Ed's Slnclair Sta- tion. Sometime during their hish school career nearly all students find it necessary to have a job. These jobs range from the usual-working in a restaurant, fest food store, or gas station-to the un- usual--taking pictures for a local studio or printing T- shirts. Cindy Williamson, senior, worked at a local studio taking pictures of babies and small children. l got the job through a notice posted by Mr. Mork, work experience coordinator. When I applied they requested that I join DE, so l did, explained Cindy. Senior Carol Blood worked st a local fast food restaurant. l started out working at Hardee's during my sophomore year, but now it's turned into a full time job and stops me from attending many events at Jefferson, Carol remarked. There are four programs that offer credit for working and help the student learn a skill and see what their job would be like for a career. Students participating in these programs attend class in the mornings and work in the afternoons. Work experience is also offered for students who need credits to graduate, but no skills are emphasized. 18 Klds n their Jobs his Q ... .rt- ...N .fig,' .,, .5 .N .
