Managing money students face real world Having a checking account gives me more freedom. hat every student needs is money. They need it for gas, clothes and other expenses. They never seem to have enough of it and they are always trying to get more. When they do get some, most of them find it is a good idea to put it in a bank account. One of the main advantages in having a bank account is that the money is out of sight. I like having a bank account because the money is not in my hand where I would spend itright away, said Junior Jill Birch. With an account, students learn to save their money instead of spend it, which is a valuable lesson to leam in preparation for life. Even with a bank account, it is not easy to get the money to put in it. Sophomore David I-lillstead said, I get most of my money by working during the summer for my dad, and from Christmas and birthday presents. Sophomore Clint Bradshaw managed to save 56000. Most of my savings came from my Grandparents when I was bom and the money has been gaining interest ever since then. I've also gotten money by working at the pool and for my dad, said Bradshaw. A few students found it was a good idea to have two bank accounts. One for every day spending and another for their long term goals. I use one of my accounts for whateverl need, said Senior Tom Tippets and the other I use for my rodeo trips, going to college and other major things. With a checking account a student doesn't have as much trouble as with a normal savings account. Not many students have these accounts, but those who do like them more than the savings accounts. Having a checking account gives me more freedom, noted Birch. Some parents did not allow their children to have Pay up. Whether its Mom and Dad's checking account or the student's, bills must be paid for lost books, Fmes, locker fees, t-shirts, etc. Secretary Maureen Ryan supervises Freshman Julie Geibel as she endorses a check to pay one of the various fees.

They believed that the students were not mature enough to manage their money well. I must ask my parents before I can make a withdrawal. It causes some problems for me, but I have saved a lot of money that I would not have otherwise, said So- phomore Gregg Bergener. These students spent their money more wisely, but they didn't have as much freedom as other students. J im Chapman Balancing act.

You 8 . Set goals and. live the memones My senior year can do nothing but get better Qc my grades improve and I do better in sports. eing a senior was sometimes like being a 110 year old fogy trying to reflect on the best parts of his life. The seniors travelled down the twisting paths of their school year memories and also set goals. My freshman year was really fun because it was new and the seniors were cool and were always messing around, but my senior year is better. All the parties and activities make my senior year fun, but I still want to leave school. The best part of my life will be when I kill a six point elk, said Senior Randy Johnson. Johnson was analyzing his life for the best years. Senior Charlie Bluemel also did some analysis, deciding his was a couple of years ago. Bluemel said, My sophomore year was by far the best year. I don't feel that the senior year is the best and the only thing that I want to accomplish my senior year is to get out of school. My favorite people who helped make my sopohomore year the best were Mr. Ehlers, Mr. Hamner, and Ms. Charles. My senior year is a blast because I'm not getting caught doing stupid things. I think I have more stress trying to get better grades than in the past, but school as a whole is a mess around time. I'm in more control this year and it is kind of like my sophomore year. My senior year can do nothing but get better if my grades H E! la People Seniors Fairy god mother.

What will really make my senior year better is if I don't get caught doing some of them fun things that parents and teachers think are stupid? said Kurt Giles. While Giles tried not to get caught by the teachers. Jeff Bluemel re- ceived stress from them. I have more headaches and pressures this year, because I'm trying to get good grades and prepare myself for col- lege. My senior year is by far the best year and will get a lot better if my grades improve and I get a scholar- ship in anythingf' said Bluemel. Todd Rollins said, The best year of my life so far is my senior year. If I could take state in wrestling... Clint Bradshaw Horse and buggy days.
