MIXINS toO l ' tK« f VAMALA -Ai.sVTS -.iiDNin CJCONUT tjftCMK rois«ns oba»«: m m aw :' livi '- Food! Glorious Food! Munch, Crunch. Gulp! Mmmm. The luscious sounds of eating. Food is an essential part of life for every- one; an obsession for some; a trend for others. Although the national trend is towards low-cal., low-fat food ami food products; we sometimes choose the al- ternative. Good ol junk food seems to creep up into even the healthiest of diets. Two all-time favorites: pizza and ice- cream. Dominos, “The Hut” and local Enzo's made a mint (hmmm, chocolate mints . . . not a bad idea). And yes; I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream! However, everyday Breyers and Sealtest didn’t lick our lips. It was Haagen-Dazs, Frusen Gladje, Ben 6c Jerry’s and Steve’s, those gourmet goo- pies, that melted into our hearts. Also on the menu: tantalizing our tongues, potato chips, the old-time salty came in bacon and cheese, sour cream and chives. French onion, barbecue and even chocolate covered. Doritos sport- ed new Cool Ranch and Hot Mexican Taco. And where do we roam when a need for double chocolate-chocolate chip or a burger with the works to go, hits? Sonya Sotinsky and Stephanie Lofaro stop at a gourmet goopie — Steve’s in New York. Friendly’s. The Millbrook. and McDon- alds were some of the cravings. Unfortunately, all this food ends up on the waistline. A McDLT (680 cals.), chocolate shake (380 cals.), and large fries (357 cals.) add up to a total of 1,117 cals. At three meals a day. that's a pound a day gained. Thinking of a salad? But. not to leave on a sour note, al- ways remember this: You only live once, so eat the most of it! Besides, you can do those fifty sit-ups later. By Trina Hor Food 29

Jobs Work or Play? Uo you find that you never have enough money to buy that great sweater or the new album that just came out? Are you always asking your parents for money and they never give it to you? There's a simple solution to this. Go out and get a job! Everyday, people make the choice to earn their own money. Ev- ery place you go, you can see people filling out applications in the hope of getting hired. Places all over are in need of help and they show it on their famous sign Help Wanted”. Of course, the number one reason for getting a job is money. Some people need money for things such as clothes or jewelry, but others need it for more seri- ous things such as a car or college. But whatever the reason, a job can help the problem of a low cash How. There are many different kinds of jobs to choose from in a variety of different areas. For you. the right kind of job may be to work in one of the many fast food restaurants such as McDonald's. Roy Rogers, or Wendy’s. If you don't want to work in one of those places, there are many more to choose from. Maybe you’re interested in helping people. You could work at Bayshore Hospital or Em- ery Manor Nursing Home. If you want, you could work at the movie theatre while at the same time, see you're friends. A job at the Poet's Inn or Merri Makers might be what you're looking for too. In this case, you could be a bus- boy girl or a waiter wai tress. Of course, you always have the job at the super- market ringing up groceries. If any of these places don't appeal to you. you could get a job in one of the various stores and shops where you will do a variety of different things. You could be asked to stock shelves, do the cash regis- ter, make up signs, pump gas, clean, an- swer the phones, or even count money. The hours that people work vary greatly depending upon where you work and how much time you are avail- able. Most people work on average three days after school for four hours a day and on Saturday for about seven hours. The average wages seem to be $4.20 per hour. Most people don't enjoy working. It 's not that they don’t like where they work and what they do, but it takes time away from what they really want, such as to be with friends or go out on Friday or Saturday nights. Whatever the reason though, you have to admit one thing. You are getting the green stuff with the numbers and pictures printed on it. and that's what you set out to do!
