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.

Seniors Expand Horizons Abroad Don ' t seniors have enough to worry about? Or is Riverside out of pace with the rest of the world? Several sen- iors were able to find out a little bit about foreign countries and about themselves this year as they traveled throughout the continents. The Foreign Exchange Student Service enabled some students to travel, as did Jerry Lovatt, who spient his summer in Malaysia. You have to act like every- one else does, he commented, And sometimes they really look at you fun- ny! Despite finding adjustment to a new way of life a little rigorous, Lovatt managed to enjoy himself. My new family was really great. They had a lot of money and spent it on me. The trip was also a learning experience. I real- ly didn ' t know that they had real houses in Malaysia. And refrigerators, and cars and everything! Other students used different ways to travel. Through a summer bicycle tour Peter Beck gained appreciation for the cultures of western Europ e. He cycled through several countries, including France and Holland, and stayed over- night in hostels. A hostel is liked a ho- tel, but one works in exchange for a little or no charge for board. Although he ' d taken bicycle tours before, this one was different. Bicycling through the towns and countryside brought me much closer to the culture of the peo- ple. Not all students went intercontinental. Grace Ruben visited relatives in Mexi- co for two months while many students were at the beaches. I loved Mexico, especially Acapulco! she exclaimed. The transition between the two cultures was not difficult for Ruben because of her familiarity with her relatives in Mexico and her ability to speak Sp)an- ish. All returned safely and found their summer experiences rewarding. Their cultures are so different, said Ruben, I can appreciate my own even more. «J|. Simona M. Holmes Karin E.
