Babysitting for fun and money Babysitting was a way to earn extra money. Some liked it, some didn’t. However, the ma¬ jority of students babysat on a regular basis sometime during their highschool years. Whether one had a part time job or not, many still babysat when not working. The wage scale ranged from two dollars an hour to forty dollars a week. Some had steady jobs, like watching kids after school during week days. Others babysat wherever and whenever they were needed. The jobs are from taking care of infants to watching twelve year olds. Students watched people’s pets when owners were away. Ani mals ranged from puppies to racoons.

However, it is not very easy to get a role. Ability to act, sing, and dance is required. There are numerous tryouts for prospective actors. Trying out for a school production of “Who’s Life Is It Anyway?” is not easy. Up to 100 people tryout for a single production. However, only about forty students receive a role. To become eligible a student must fill out an informa¬ tion sheet. They also attend a meeting where theater directors, Paul and Angie Lowe, talk about the upcoming play. Students who have had experience in other musi¬ cals, create the dance routine that is used for tryouts.

acquaintance brings success Open House took place on the evening of November 17, 1982. It was a good op¬ portunity for students to in¬ troduce their parents to their teachers. It allowed parents to find out better of how their son or daughter was getting along in his classes. It allowed parents to be better informed of the teaching methods teachers used and what was in store for the year’s activities in learning. The teachers followed the student schedule of classes, giving parents fifteen min¬ utes in each. First the teach¬ ers gave a group discussion of the classes curriculum and following that, parents were able to speak, if they wished, to them individual¬ ly. 30 Magazine
