Let's face it, everybody needs money. Money being such a vital part of life, many students are forced to seek employment. For- tunately, Lexington provides am- ple opportunity for work. In fact, the majority of the stores in the center are partially manned by students. It is a rare day that one can not see several students work- ing after school. Popular places to work include Maunder’s Meat Market, Castiello’s Bakery, oO Steve's Ice Cream, Stop Shop, ERR a ee ge Re aR a Gra te” gegen gy he aa b 4 (Above) Seniors Jen Smith and Rebecca Goodwin look over the over- due books list at Cary Memorial Library.

Lexington also provides copi- ous jobs outside of the center. There are many malls and busi- ness districts in the area. Whether it be at a fast food restaurant, a department store, or in an office, there are plenty of jobs for stu- dents. The privilege of driving a car also provides students with the mobility to hold down their jobs. Many students find it hard to balance both work and school, while others cite low pay as a problem. However, for those who keep trying, the opportunities for advancement are readily avail- able, and the money they earn does not hurt either. Having a job is a valuable ex- perience for a student. The task forces the student to be responsi- ble and to spend his time wisely. The work experience can also of- ten be useful when seeking future employment. C8SS cee eee ass ee ee

A La Mode Fashion at L.H.S. is quite innova- tive. Like every thing else at the school, the way people dress fol- lows no set patterns or rules. Girls are especially diverse in their style of dress. Every day they give new meaning to the terms ‘preppy, ‘‘sophisticated,— “punk,’’ and “‘new wave.” The popular styles are short hair, big overcoats, jeans (of every different type) and oversized shirts. All these styles blend nicely giving us a very colorful campus. The male portion of the student body is less likely to make innova- tions in the realm of fashion. Rugby shirts and sweaters are popular as well as the classic plaid shirt and cords combo. There are however a few who dare to be different. When snow fills the quads and the weather turns cold, the students at L.H.S. begin to resemble models for an L.L. Bean catalogue. Duck shoes, jeans, and down jackets take the places of mini-skirts and polo shirts. (Top) Incognito: Fran Marino. (Right) Yes, Jen Wells is photogenic! Bares ROTI.
