Preparation for floats, to the homecoming parade, to the foot- ball game, to . . . the HOMECOM- ING DANCE! Senior Teresa Hause commented, lt was neat to see everyone all dressed up . . . it was really different from seeing every- one in jeans and sweatshirts. Enjoying the decorations, the band After Dark, and the atmo- sphere of the dance, Rhonda Woo- lard commented, lt was a lot of fun just being with my friends. Senior Tara Carraway observed, 'lEven the chaperones enjoyed the music by reminiscing about their homecomingsf' The dance was a success, but it was frustrating for those of us involved in the planning stages. We had to make sure eighth grad- ers would serve food, teachers would chaperone and decorations were made. lt was hectic, there was always one more thing to be done, exclaimed Anne Jenkins. About three hundred and fifty people attended to dance. Howev- er, the SCA didn't make much of a profit. That is okay, because most people consider it a tradition, not a fund raiser, explained Diana Vaughan. Fisherman's Wharf, Shamus McGregors, Nara of Japan, and Chi-Chi's were just a few of the spots chosen for dinner before the dance. After the dance couples went to parties, watched movies, or snuggled together on the shores of the beach at Mariner's Muse- um, proving true the '87 theme, We've Got lt All. - Maryann Horch and Heather Lawrence Homecoming 27

Hi, ho! lt's off to work we go! This was the chant many Menchville students sang after school. Some students spent their summer working instead of lying out at the beach and bumming around. These students were hard working and diligent in their pro- fessions. They may have done bet- ter at their jobs than at school be- cause the job pertained to what they wanted to focus on in college or life. The students' jobs varied. For example, one was a dental assis- tant, another was a contract clean- er for Sunray Cleaners. Some of the jobs pertained to what stu- dents want to do after graduation. 28 Jobs R- takes away from I enjoy working at the Limited in the new mall because l love work- ing with fashion and l hope to get into fashion merchandising or to become a buyer for a fashion store. This job will be beneficial to me in my future, explained sen- ior Allyson Bouteiller. For these students, working also gave them a sense of respon- sibility. Junior Bill Sorenson com- mented, lt disciplined me as far as punctualityf' He wanted to be- come a journalist and it is impera- tive for journalists to meet dead- lines. Senior Charles West worked for the school's Sight and Sound crew. He remarked, This job is interesting as well as challeng- students' study time ing. He planned a career in mu- sic. Jay Dunford , a junior, worked in construction this summer. He commented, My job in construc- tion was hard, but it will look good on my resume. The answer most commonly re- ceived to the question Why do you work? was, not surprisingly MONEY! This money was used for cars, gas, social events, and college savings. Students learned responsibility and skills to help them with ca- reers they wish to pursue after high school or after college. -- Sara Ing . ig Diana Vaugha Caring for injured animals is the first of the job for senior Juanita Venable. works weekends at the Boulevard V nary Clinic on Nettles Drive.
