58 juniors emember the time that you wanted to go see the eight-o'clock feature of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' and your girlfriend couIdn't make it because she got out of work at Beall's at nine o'clock'? Anybody who held down a ' part-time job and went to school at the same time knew the hassles that working after school could cause - and the benefits. When Mrs. Turk scheduled an especially hard Chemistry test, or Mr. Tennyson quizzed over the entire Constitution on Thursday, you had to work until ten Wednesday night at Kroger's.

Working was a thing that many of us had in common. Everyone shared the hassles of wages, employers, and teachers who just didn't seem to understand how much jobs meant to working students. Eventually, you began to pity those poor people at school who didn't have a job and spent every night studying or watching T.V., when they could have been making new friends and money at the same time,
