Why work now? JCHSers express ideas about student jobs Resia Moreland DPS editor Fall is always filled with fun and special times that can be remembered throughout the school year. Students are always involved in many activities. Among these activities, students may choose to keep a job. Keeping a job requires dedication, both to the job and to grades. Many of the nation’s teenagers hold jobs. Fifty-seven percent of the nations black teen-agers and 20 percent of white teen-agers work, but don’t need to. They do this for money, to buy clothes and cars. There are always good and bad points over every issue. With students working, there are many people involved, parents, school officials, teachers, and employers. Some teachers feel high school is not a time when students should work. “When you get out of high school and college you’ll be working for the rest of your life, and you’ll probably dislike your job. So why work now when you can play?” said government teacher Doug Conwell. Students are concerned about their grades. They are pressured by parents and school officials to keep up their grades. Sometimes it takes all of a student’s time to be devoted to school work. ‘ When you keep a job during school, you miss out on all the activities. You need your free time. On the weekdays, you already know you’ll be tied down with homework, and who needs the added pressure of a job? On the weekends you should relax. You should take time to enjoy not working, because you’ll be working for the rest of your life,” said Julie Vogelsang. Some students have to much time to spare. A job gives them responsibilities. It gives them goals to work for. doing good in school and in their job “I feel a job adds responsibilities to the students. It shows them how the real world is. Students have to learn how to divide their time and decide what is more important for them,” said Regina Nunnery typing teacher. There is always the students point of view. Many students do feel the same as Nunnery. Ricci Volpe. who works at Merle Normans and the Klothes Kloset. said, “I never feel I have enough time for myself, or school activities. Sometimes teachers expect too much. They go too fast. Parents want kids to work, so they can gain a sense of responsibility, and pay for other things such as cars, clothes, and other activities. Whatever a student’s choice might be, and whatever he she might be doing, whether it is working or not. it must agree with them and the goals they have set for themselves. At Food 4 Less.

The things teen-agers referred to on the issue of what's in did not always relate to clothing styles. Other concerns like what to do for fun and pleasure, popular food, and movies could also be an issue. Popular clothing probably caused the most pressure as far as being in style. The year’s biggest styles for guy were Levi's 501 Blues, over-sized sweatshirts, button-down oxfords and sweaters The majority of the quvs wore tennis shoes and sports socks, but of course there were those who would wear coordinating dress socks with loafers Loose fitting, stonewashed gray jeans and a sweater along with Eastland shoes and coordinating socks are my favorite things to wear. said Chris Carter. 87. Fashionable outfits for girls followed a large range. Mini-skirts and tank tops could be seen on warm, sunny days. Large belts of various colors and sizes were worn with all lengths of skirts, as well as pants and jeans. The more casual look was simply to wear the most favorite jean among girls. GUESS, and a loose-fitting top. such as a sweat-shirt or a warm sweater. “Jeans and a loose-fitting, heavy sweater seemed to always keep me cozy and comfortable.” said Cindy Wright. 87. Shoes worn by many girls were flats. These were a big success because of the comfort, but they still looked dressy Another big success were the white tennis shoes often called BO—BO's These shoes were owned by almost every girl and worn until worn-out. On the days when the girls wanted real comfort, they would wear tennis shoes with name brand of Re-ebok. Just about everything anyone wanted to wear was in style as long as it was just strange I like the Audi' because of the sporty inside and how smooth it rides. said Moses Hicks. 88 Movies were one of the most popular sources of entertainment. Some of the favorite movies were Pee-Wee Herman. Top Gun,” and Soul Man...Jumpin' Jack Flash’ was my favorite movie. said Becky Penn, Although movies were the biggest source of entertainment there were still many more. Almost every weekend, therejwas a party to be found—keg or no keg. Teens enjoyed just getting together with friends and cruising or hanging out at Hardee’s and Kwick Sac Going to KU frat parties with my boyfriend and going to Aggieville were my sources of entertainment. said Trish Mathis. 87 Food of course, was a big topic of discussion. Where should we go for lunch? or “Let's all get a hamburger at Hardee's after the game,” were often-used quotes. Among the enjoyable fast food restaurants were Hardee’s. McDonalds. Pin-ata. Pizza Hut. Burger King, and Dairy Queen Foods enjoyed by the students were all kinds, from Pringles Lights to Doritos. all kinds of cookies and candy, and the M M and Oreo Blizzards. Mexican food and Pizza are my favorite kinds of food.” said Resia Moreland. 87. Music groups seemed to be in popular demand for students. Music varied from each click of students. From Hard Rock. Heavy Metal. Rapp, and good ol Rock-n-Roll. Groups such as Lisa Lisa. Run D.M.C., Bon Jovi. Talking Heads. Motley Crue. and the Fat Boys. Full Force is my favorite music group, because I like what they sing.” said Michelle King. 88 Although Fads Fashion were of big concern, the individuality of each person's own interest in fashion seemed to also be important, since the trends were set by the individuality of each person.
