Along with these holidays came the time for that hectic shopping. People fought their way through crowds to get the desired gift for each person on their list. Presents were exchang- ed with friends and greeting cards were sent off. This year we had the privilege of having Santa Claus (Jules Clifford) visit in the cafeteria on December 18 and 21. For a nominal fee. students were able to have their pictures taken with him and give him their Christmas wishes.

After school and on weekends, students could be found earning money as cashiers, hosts or hostesses, banktellers, and sales clerks. Popular places to work were Roy Rogers, McDonalds, Piz- za Hut, Fashion Factory, Woolco, Zayres, Ben Franklin, Drug Fair, and Peoples. Many students had unique jobs such as Teresa Boothe, Melinda Frostik, Cathy McGrail, and Karen Anderson who were models; Leslie Brown who taught dancing; and Sam Smith who worked in construction. Minimum wage was three dollars and thiry-five cents an hour, but worthy people collected more. Social Security and taxes seemed to take so much. Unfortunately, the wages didn’t stay in wallets for long. Gifts for others, personal lux- uries, food, and dates seemed to swallow the remaining earnings far to quickly. Budget conscious workers often managed to save for a car or college. All in all, the work was fun and proved to be an ex- cellent experience. Student Life 31
