Wt i kins Produces Cash Stocking shelves is one of the many duties Robert Arensberg deals with as a grocer. Many students hold part-time jobs while in high school. The jobs held by students this year ranged from switchboard operators to tobacco farmers and included meat packers, carpet cleaners, cashiers, and stockboys. The Maur Hill boarders are given the opportunity to meet some expenses through the work study program. This pro- vides jobs in the cafeteria and buildings and on the campus grounds. Some Maur Hill day students also earn money in this program. Many day students from both the Academy and Maur Hill also hold jobs in Atchison businesses. Whether working for cash, a reduction in tuition costs, or to help a family business, holding a job helps students meet personal expenses, as well as providing work experience.

Students Exhibit Eads And Fashions Many different aspects of student life make a school year unique and special. Such things as the music that is popular, the school activities that attract the crowds, and the type of clothes that are in style are what make the school year a personal experience for those who attend. The “preppy look,” which includes the Izod, the Polo, Topsiders, and designer jeans, has been a steady trend around the cam- puses. Another popular trend is the t-shirts bought at recent rock concerts. Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, Molly Hatchet, and Foreigner can be seen daily around campus. Many other fads and fashions are firmly established on campus, although individuals express their tastes in personal ways. Fads and fashions greatly influence the school year as a whole, and helps develop and shape the school year as something special and per- sonal to those students attending Maur Hill and the Academy. 28 Student Life Fads Angela Ellsworth and Tina Davenport model the casual look before heading down to the journalism room.

Dating Unifies Couples A wide variety of activities make up the life of a high school student. These activities range from attending school to holding a part-time job, participating in a varsity sport to being active in clubs, and, of course dating. Exciting and wonderful things can happen while on a date. Such things as attending school dances, going out for dinner and a movie, or simply partying can become exciting and ex- traordinary while on a date. On the other hand, being on a date can often produce awkward or embarrassing situations. Thoughts of impressing or being rejected by the other part- ner on the date are foremost in the minds of people. Though dating has both its advantages and disadvan- tages, it gives students an opportunity to gain self- confidence and maturity. For some reason.
