Seniors Work For Status What did letterman jackets and fast cars have in common? Both were status symbols, a fact that proved to be very important for most seniors. Letterman jackets and fast cars were a source of pride for their owners, and exhibited the hard work and determination the owners had put into getting them. Although some were lucky enough to get their cars as presents, the majority of seniors had to work hard to raise the money to buy them themselves. Working at the Cask ' n Cleaver is not something I look forward to, said Andy Peek, but I need the job in order to maintain my car. Then came the problems of paying for gas, insur- ance, and making various improve- ments. Without a job, I wouldn ' t be able to pay for all the improvements I have made on my car, added Peek. Seniors had to sacrifice their free time to work and raise money for their cars, but most of them felt it was worth the trouble. Upon entering high school, getting a letterman jacket became a goal for a large number of students. Earning a letterman jacket was not an easy task however, and the grueling practices and rigorous exercise that were nec- essary proved to be hard work. Al- though it was a difficult task, Bob Blackman said, I was determined to get a letterman jacket, because no one in my family ever had one. The hard work that was necessary to get a varsity letter, and jacket was not v rith- out it ' s rewards however. Once the students received their letters, they had the opportunity to express them- selves on the back of a jacket. Some seniors names or nicknames embroi- dered the back of their jackets while others featured intricate de- signs. Getting a letterman jacket and buying a fancy car, were goals that many seniors had set upon entering high school. This often meant getting a job or experiencing grueling prac- tices, but most seniors felt it was all worth it. ••■ ,1. 1 — Bl SENIOR LETTERMEN.
