The need for money was not always the reason for jobs. but enjoyment. Junior Barry Schuman said, I like working at Memorial City because it's close by all of the things you can do there. and because of friends who work in the mall. Barry worked at Flavor of the Week and has worked there for about a year. Many students had come and gone. but Barry stated. No one who works at one store leaves Memo- rial City. If they quit. they work at another store in the mall. Most of the good chains depended on students for the majority of their business. Sophomore Kelly Huff. who worked at MacDonald's on the Katy Freeway. said. At lunch time that's all there is. Memorial students. Seven- eights of the people are from Memorial during the lunch hour rush. Barry also said that he saw students and teachers at hisjob. Kelly was a crew chief at Mac- Donald's. She said. Crew chief means you have excelled the other crew mem- bers. She was paid 52.90 an hour. The Distributive Education program gave many students job opportunities. ir VY nr ear li g,-ii :mia 1, 4 Q. sa ...s Y 99 These students in the program, remained in school for only half a day and worked at their respective jobs for the remaining part of the day.

Katy worked at Fotomat located near Town and Country Village. She said. I am my own boss! I am in total control of the responsibility at my store, and I make all of the decisions.

Custom design by Print-e-shirt - T- hirts - universal attire Peering through the window of the Print a Shirt Shop, one could see hun- dreds of t-shirts with various designed decals. The creation of personally designed t-shirts is made possible by the use of a heat transfer machine and steady hands. Owner Don Thurman got started in this business by working in a little shack on the weekends at the beach one summer. I made a lot of money and I really enjoyed doing this so much that I decided to open up a shop. Mr. Thurman explained. The store has been opened in the Echo Lane Shopping Center since December, I976. The best time of the year for us is Christmas: then there is back-to-school and softball seasonf, he said. To print orders for group shirts usually took from two to three days. The most popular decal varied from Farrah Fawcett Majors to Star Wars. But the everyday decals were Kids for Rent and No Where Else But Texas. Keeping these decals in stock was really hard to do. but you have got to have them to keep your customer satisfied, said Thurman. The biggest project the store under- took was when the Mission Manufac- turing Company asked them to make up around 200 t-shirts for their employ- ees for Christmas. I thought I was going to go crazy seeing so many shirts exactly the same, he said. T-shirts are so popular that I've had people from Brazil, Alaska, Canada. and all over Europe come in and have t-shirts printed up for them to take back to their countryf' he said. People from other parts of the world do not have t-shirt places like this, he said. The guys that worked there were really fine guys and they didn't mess you around. They gave special discount rates, and they were ready to be picked on the day they statedf, explained pres- ident of Wranglers, Fred Stow. The store could also print up bumper stickers if they were requested to make at least a hundred of them. They really come out just the way that you designed them to look. said Senior Janice Webb. With the help of his assistants Mr. Thurman keeps both of his stores very busy Monday through Saturday. This is really a fun type ofjob to be involved in and it's a worth while job, because it's all in the use of your own doings and not anybody else, said Thurman. 30 - Ginny Henry PFKOUDLY DISPLAYING HIS SUPPLY OF ATH- LETIC GEAR, Printaa-Shirt proprietor Don Thur- man reviews the variety of models and sizes his store offered.
