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.

Enjoying a little free time Although most people believe that all Maur Hill and Academy students do nothing at home but study. We have found that some students do enjoy activities other than homework. Life in the homes of day students vary from watching T.V. to playing billards. Favorite T.V. programs in- clude Knots Landing, Dynasty, and Monday Night Football. Thad Lick- hart, Atchison senior, said, “I watch a lot of T.V. It gives me a chance to take a break from my homework and allows me to relax for awhile.” Many students enjoy sitting down with the family or friends and playing an exciting game of Trivial Pursuit. Dan Miller, Atchison senior, said, ‘T like to play Trivial Pursuit not only because it’s fun but also because it’s educating.” Nineteen students from Maur Hill and the Mount spent a lot of time in December preparing them- selves for a ski trip to Colorado. David Buessing, Atchison senior, said, “I spent a lot of time getting things together and worrying about how I would finance the trip.” Although studying is a major time consumer for most students, free time is very valuable and used to the fullest extent. (Story by Kevin Wagner) Waiting patiently outside his house, David Buessing waits for his ride to the basketball game. David uses his time wisely looking for the first snow. Testing their knowledge, Susanne Brom, Jenny Immel and Aaron Brom, play Trivial Pursuit. The game has become very popular throughout Maur Hill and the Academy. The Buessing billiard room has provided much student entertainment. Shawn T. Boos spends an evening playing an exciting game of eight ball. 1 2 3 a 2 z 18 Day Student Homelife
