Dollars for Scholars Mike Maginnis, appears to be advertising to Carlene Batemen his favorite slogen, “Shop at Ken's Mini Mart, we have everything from antifreeze to gum. While working at Conoco, Gregg Robbins gets a chance to do a little dirty work, but also learn a variety of different skills. Mike Tindall is kept busy at the Pizza Hut, a favorite hangout for students. Another day of work? This thought seemed to cross many people's minds when they thought of another day on the job. Although the thought of work seemed tiring after a day of school or during a Saturday afternoon most students didn't seem to mind their part-time jobs or the money they provided. Students felt a part-time job such as working at Ken's Mini Mart, the theater, the Pizza Hut or Safeway was just what they needed to earn a little extra money, to provide some experiences or training that would help them later, to meet new and interesting people or to just fill their spare time during the weekend. Radio announcer, Robert Kath, commented that even though his job got in the way of sports and homework it still provided him with extra cash and some experience for a possible career. Senior Mike Maginnis felt the extra money he earned helped out with the expenses of being a senior and that he enjoyed seeing his friends and meeting different people while working at Ken's. Many students found that holding a part-time job gave them some independence and a chance to vary their daily life. 4 Student Life

Excitement, Challenge, Fun are part of School Life Dancing, smiling, being crazy are Shelly Bird well's and jeanie Talbot's ideas of having fun. Tammy Branstetter, Tammy Grimm and Tracy Petersen take a time out from taking pictures to pose for a shot. In addition to completing tiresome homework assignments and making up seemingly endless tardies, students had a variety of things to choose from. Participation in numerous activities, sports, and cheerleading required physical stamina and endurance. These hearty students were at school as early as 6:30 a.m. for practices and sometimes stayed as late as 9 or 10 p.m. Concern was shown by the administration and community about an increasing use of drugs and alcohol among the students. If the temptations were there the student thought twice before indulging in this activity. Pop machines, open campus, and Seniors' absences from study hall all characterize a typical day. The student center was a good place to gather after school for a soda — and help support the band or junior class. If seniors were able to maintain a three average they did not have to report to study halls. A work-study program, implemented last year, was continued again this year. Seniors were given the opportunity to work on a job eighth period of the day. This provided some on-the-job training before graduation from high school. With all these little extras, school life was happier and, above all, provided an opportunity for those students to pursue their interests and provided a background for education and even a vocation upon completion of high school.
