Cash Keeps Students Working Students who live at McDonald ' s or Taco Bell? These, and many other fast food restaurants, became a second home for many students. I felt like I lived there on the weekends, declared LeAna Clinton. I felt it was time I started earning my own money. My parents were getting tired of paying for everything, said Deborah Symms. Many found that they got a very satisfied feeling from earning their own money and supporting themselves. Fast food restaurants weren ' t the only places that working students could be found. Clothing stores, restaurants, auctions, movie theaters, and grocery stores were other types of employment. Also there were the old standbys of yard work, paper routes, and babysitting that helped those who were still too young to get jobs. I babysit on the weekends for extra cash, but I can ' t wait to get a steady job — and steady money, commented Terry Limtiaco. Some students were forced to choose between their jobs and their grades.

Socializing Wins Over Registration Looking over his schedule before he checks out is Jeff Wynn. Freshmen found registration was another one of those bother- some things about high school. The poor freshmen have three more years of this! exclaimed Susie Tallman, meaning three more years of getting up at 4:30 in the morning, waiting in lines, and just the mass confusion of registration. But it wasn ' t just for the freshmen to look forward to in their following years, the sophomores and juniors had the pleasure also. The seniors were probably the only people in the entire gym who didn ' t dread registration. Considering it was their last one, they didn ' t have reason to complain. My main reason for even showing up was to socialize. I woke up at 4:30 to socialize? What a way to end my summer! stated Tracie Wingo. Waiting to sign up for one of their classes, Kathy Markwardt, Tina Luallin and Roberta Galvan catch up on summer gossip. i 24 student life

Actors Meet Challenge During auditions the competition was fierce, remarked Pat Leary, but as the roles were determined things began to calm down. With only five weeks to put together a production, it was necessary for everyone to settle into their parts quickly. It was a very sophisticated play and difficult to do, said Mrs. Appleford. It became a habit for the actors to do their homework before rehearsal at 7:00 p.m. For some, however, it meant sacrificing more than just homework time. Laura Taylor, chose to shear off five inches of her hair for her part. But no matter what the play forced them to give up, the dedicated cast and crew stuck it out. During production week, the crew had the task of transforming the stage. We don ' t get the glory the ac- tors do, but I love changing the stage to a different world, stated Jonathan Gilbert. They literally worked, ate, and slept in the theater. There was a great feeling of ac- complishment after the last perfor- mance, said Rich Lawton. In addi- tion to this feeling of accomplishment the cast received an invitation to co- host the California Theater of Focus Festival workshop in January. In producing The Lark North upheld its reputation for presenting difficult plays well. ■ During the second act, Pat Leary, who played the Promoter, accused Joan of being a witch.
