Teens seek jobs elsewhere Some LHS students take out-of-town jobs Most Lincoln High students agreed that summer vacation was a very busy time. From day one, it seemed, the hot summer months were clogged with ac- tivities, and some believed that summer- time was more busy than the school year. Usually, all of this activity revolved around a job of some kind, but some students, for a variety of reasons, decided to take their summer jobs in places other than Lin- coln, Nebraska. Senior Roger Hulinsky was the mainten- ance man at a summer camp sponsored by the American Baptist Churches of Nebraska. “The camp, Hulinsky explained,“was located about twenty miles west of Fremont. I stayed there for about two and a half months in a small trailer- camper that wasn’t at all comfortable. Whenever there was grass to be cut, or dishes to wash I’d be doing it. The job paid 80 dollars a week so that hard work was worth it.” Roger particularly enjoyed the inde- pendence involved. “Getting away,” he said, “from house and family was kind of nice, it was really a new and exciting experience for me.” Senior Maura McLaughlin stayed the entire summer with her uncle in Lake Tahoe, California where, for the duration of the summer, held down three different jobs at once. “My main job,” McLaughlin said, “was head hostess at a pizzaria in Lake Tahoe, but I also worked at a jet-ski rental a couple of days a week. I got to rent out jet-skis and motorized surf boards, and teach people how to use them, and on top of that, I worked at my aunt’s flower shop.” Maura liked to stay busy during the summer with many different activities. “I like to work a lot,” she said. “I don’t want to sit around and be bored, and I’m not the type of person who would lay in the sun for three months and just veg.” Money-making wasn’t the only motive for out-of-town work. LHS senior Naomi Nagy was a junior counselor at a foreign language camp for a week last summer. She taught French to beginners, and helped plan the regular Camp Kataki activities. “We went swimming,” described Nagy, “played soccer, went on hikes, sang songs, and ate bad food.” Naomi had been going to Camp Kataki for three years as a camper and enjoyed it immensely, and then decided she was getting too old for that so she went on and became a counselor.
