Do you think you could call someone in to work for me today? How many times was this line used this year? Of course sometimes it was true, but more likely was that something more exciting than work was staring you right in the face, and it was im- possible to turn down. Working was a way to get out of the house, escape boredom, and most of all, earn money. Parents often wondered why their teenager wanted to work when they could be out having fun. They always said that they would give us money whenever we needed it, but how many times did we hear what did you do with the five dollars I gave you yesterday? Parents just didn't realize the necessity of having that outfit and they just refused to see the fun in driving around for hours, they wondered why we just didn't come home if we had nothing better to do than burn up gas. Work- ing gave us a chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and gain more responsibilities. We had to be to work on time and carry out our duties carefully. If we didn't, we didn't work anymore. It was that simple. Student Life

The next home game is planned at the new field on Central Drive. The field, which costs ap roximately seven million dollars, will be the nicest high school stadium in this area. Still being used by both Bell and Trinity, the new stadium will have no track around the field so that closer seating will be possible. It will also feature an electronic, message-type scoreboard, some theater seats, bench seats with backs, and the much needed sufficient arking areas. The new stadium will be completed in August 1987, and will still bear the traditional name of Pennington Field. Besides the stadium, most of the area schools are , l gaining additional facilities. Four V science labs will be completed on the north side of the building- in time for l school next September. hese rooms X were added because of the new reforms and the credits in sciences that the up- X l coming students must earn. These ,W students must earn three credits in ' science and have a total of twenty-three - x x credits to graduate. 1 Q i I' ali?

Special events, special times and special expenses for Senior Cnl Money. Some seniors had it, some didn't, but more than likely, they had less of it at the end of the year than at the beginning. The senior year was probably everyone's most expensive one. There were so many things that had to be bought, like graduation announcements, caps and gowns, And there were those things that weren't necessary for the actual moment of graduation, but were special things that just seniors needed, like rings, pictures, and clothes. Probably the most expensive thing that seniors encountered was Agoing out to lunch. If three dollars a day was spent eating out, that came up to S5 9 for the year, and that doesn't in- clude the gas burned up racing to an from the eating places, trying to be back before the tardy bell rang. O course, there were those 329 close friends that graduation presents had to be bought for, and maybe the long-awaited senior trip to wherever mom and dad wante to send you. A graduation party and present also came out of mom and dad's pocket, or maybe you treated yourself, but still, money was money. If anyone knew that, it was the seniors.
