92 f Student All Work N o play No Way People have fun according to their personalities. The athletic types live and breathe sports and spend more of their waking hours on the tennis court, football field, basketball court, golf course, or baseball diamond. They usually don't have time for much else, after all, it doesn't matter, since they're having FUN. The adventurous types are the ones who usually get into trouble the most. They stay out all night dancing at a disco, pile ten into a Pinto to go to the discount drive-in, and plan panty raids at the dorm. These activities are high on the list of fun. They are also the ones that get offenses and speed- ing tickets, but it doesn't matter since they're having fun, fun, fun. Another type is that of the stay-at- home. They gain pleasure from watch- ing Little House on the Prairie and eating popcorn, spending their last dollar on a Big Mac from McDonald's, and holding championship wrestling matches in their suites. lt may sound weird, but people do have fun doing these things. So, it just goes to show that every- body has fun in their own ways. At least seven hours of every stu- dent's day is spent in a classroom, where their heads are filled with knowledge that is useful and informa- tive. This is good, since everybody needs to be educated. However, there comes a time when books can be laid aside, and brains can relax and think of things more pleasurable. Every per- son needs to have a time of fun and frolic. All work and no play can make you a very dull person. Exactly what is fun? Well, every sin- gle person on the face of the earth has their own definition. Some individuals find reading a good book in front of a roaring fire very enjoyable. Others find this a little boring, and prefer to spend their time looking for more lively things to do. Guys get their thrills by racing their Vets, Trans-Ams, and Camaros around while impressing the girls and making all less fortunate boys drool. Girls are happy as long as they have a purse full of money and a day to get to the store. What may seem like fun to one per- son may be completely and downright dull to another. Fun really just means doing what you enjoy when and where you like. Denny Caraway, Rochelle Johnson, Buddy Duke, and Jamie Bankston relax in the Grill between classes. Life 'N if 1' 23' if N .1

94 f On the Job 6-I1 the job - Many students at Jones hold part time jobs. A number of students are now in their first jobs, and are learn- ing to get along with people and hav- ing to see themselves through the eyes of their employers. When students were asked what they were learning from their work experiences, several answers were given. Students said they were learn- ing how to spend their money wisely, rather than throwing it away. Knowing they had to show up for the job whether they wanted to or not was mentioned. Learning how to accept people the way they are was another answer given. Among the major items students spend on are cars, gasoline, clothes, school, and entertainment. Most students are in jobs in a type of work they don't intend to pursue, but a tew are trying new fields to see how they like certain types of work. Employed by Effirds in Laurel, Ricky Meadows works in the shoe department. He spends his money earned on college expenses and entertainment. Clay Rushing is a salesman at Hamilton Graves in the Downtown Mall in Laurel Terry Hammonds, who works part-time as a salesman at Fine Bros. Matison, finds that his paychecks come in handy when his car notes are due.
