St. Lous Style Summer Six Flags, the Arch, Cardinal Baseball, fhe Zoo, Muny Opera, Grants Farm, Forest Parts, the Magic House, Laclede's Landing and the River Fronr. Do these places sound familiar? They should! They were just some of the biggest hor spors in our own home town — Sr. Louis And whar would summer be without Sr. Louis’ famous sticky weather? Although not a record breaking 10°F, we did see the upper 90's and HUMIDITY to the max! The weather in Sr. Louis wasn't the only thing that was hor this past summer. As any baseball fan Iksnew, the Cardinals were steaming and headed for the top. ‘Jusr thinks,’ mused Senior Dave Moehlenkamp, “if if hadn't been for the strike, the Cards would have been in the World Series!” For music enthusiasts, the Muny Opera was the place fo go. The Opera offered yet another outstanding season of Music, Oance, and laughter, coming to a smash close with a two weeks, sell-out run of A Chorus Line.

For most McCluer North students a job marked a passage just as significant as age sixteen and driving a car. Having a job meant economic freedom, security, and added responsibility. Having a job also meant more contracted time — time away from friends, family, and schoolwork. Nevertheless, most students were more than willing to sacrifice a little time and a lot of energy. That is certainly true of students such as Sophomore Stephen Brim. He said, I’ve been looking for a job for six months — and still no luck. It’s really frustrating.” His frustration, though, would disappear in a minure if he walked gleefully info the concourse one morning and announced, ‘I’ve got a job.” Most North students second thar emotion. Still, having a job was nor nor all dancing 16 Jobs in the aisles. Having a job required deoica- tion and commitment. Junior Jeff Pedrotty drove a paper truck af night, which was often, he said, “tiring.” No one disagreed with him. Other students didn’t work at night; in fact, they worked when they wanted fo work. One of that lucky few, Senior Marie Gawililkowsli, said, ‘! work for my father, so | can make my own hours.” The bottom line, wherher for a family concern or a major corporation, was to find and keep a job.
