5 a SO Spending big adds up Spending money — a lot of it — was a common practice for most high school students. besides the necessities, such as food and cloth- ing, other things like recreation and entertainment were also very important. All of these things, how- ever, often proved to be expensive. Clothes alone often ran up terri- bly high bills; $45 jeans, $50 sweat- ers, and $40 shoes were only the beginning. The accessories such as $20 hair cuts, $30 watches and $25 per oz. perfume also added to the expenses. Entertainment and recreation such as $4 movie visits, $3 ball games, $5 school dances, and $8 concerts added even more. Operating a vehicle was also a common expense. Gas and insur- ance alone were expensive, not to mention repairs and the cost of an occasional speeding ticket. Finally, the ‘‘biggest’’ such as the prom and graduation ran up bills for hundreds of dollars for some people. These expenses prompted many teen-agers to get a job. “Shoney’’ begins his career Outside of the classroom he was “Shoney’’ to most of the student body. But when the bell rang, and an official school day began, he became “Mr. Farmer.’ After a four year ab- sence, Kevin “Shoney’’ Farmer was back, only this time he was the teach- er — not the student. After graduation from high school, Mr. Farmer attended Radford Universi- ty where he obtained a B.S. degree in earth science. He said his first choice of subjects to teach was social sci- ence, but he chose to teach earth sci- ence because it was his hobby, and there were more teaching jobs open in that field. When asked why he wanted to come back to his old high school to begin his career, Mr. Farmer joked, “Everything is free — free food! I can live at home. I don’t even need a car.” He added, “Also, it is my brother's senior year, and I’m glad I’m here to see it. Discipline was not a problem for Mr. Farmer. He said he thought that stu- dents respected him just as much as they did other teachers. He said some even respected him more because of his age and because he tried to com- municate on their level.
