Working and going to school can be havoc, but many Maur Hill and Academy students manage it. There are boarders working this year also. These jobs range from cooking — to running the bowling alley. This is the new work-study program. It gives students a chance to earn their tuition. It also provides them with extra spending money, which can be very helpful living in the dorms. Beth Sylvester, York, Neb., junior, said, “Working in the kitchen on Sundays is fun because I get to see everyone in their morning beauty. It also provides me with extra spending money.” “Working in the dorms is fun when working with someone else and it also helps pay for my tuition which makes it worthwhile,” said Connie Witte, Kansas City, Mo., senior. Working gives students many different opportunities. Having extra spending money is fun but it can be difficult to do when many expenses come up. Vickie Bona, Atchison, senior, said, “It is nice to have a job so I can have spending money. However, at times my job interferes with homework and school activities.” “Involving yourself in a job can give you a lot of experiences that others do not have, for example handling money. But sometimes work can be an unpleasant experience as it was recently for me. I quit my job and I am now happily enjoying temporary un- employment,” David Buessing, Atchi- son, senior, said.
