With today’s economy many students have jobs after school and on weekends. Students can be found working in places rang- ing from McDonald’s to Mortons Jewelers. Putting in long hours is part of the price students must pay to have their independence. One of the most popular places to work is the mall. Whether at Chesterfield Towne Center or Cloverleaf Mall, stu- dents can be found making those bucks around every corner. This Michelle Mallory reaches high upon the wall trying not to knock down the many items offered by “Everything’s A Dollar.”’ 24 MAKING BUCKS A teen way of life... Making Bucks Spending Them has become the normal scene in the life of a teenager. Now that these students have made all of this money it has to be spent somewhere. Lisa Pas- chall, a senior said, “‘The thing | spend the most money on is en- tertaining myself and my friends. (i.e.: videos and films.)’’ The most common places to spend, spend, spend are the movies, the record store, on clothes, at concerts, and at the new teen dance clubs which have been popping up around Richmond such as, ROCKNXS, ROCKITS, and T. Finnigans. Other stu- dents must pay for car insur- ance, car payments, and gas money. One junior said ‘‘When I walk in a store, I look for what | like, not who made it.”’ As the fashion today is to dress how you feel, and be yourself. Many students no longer look at brand names on clothing. Since many pay for their clothing, the price is more important to them than the name on the tag. In high school students reach that age when they become adults. Drivers’ licenses and cars, jobs, romance, and other events create a different person than the freshman that first en- tered this school. Cars and a busy social life create an atmo- sphere where a student can live for four years in their own world before entering the ‘‘real”’ one. Make it and spend it.

ist .. 2nd eso eee ih CHOW TIME! Lunch, the meal eaten in the middle of the day, between breakfast and dinner. The time of the day that the students look forward to the most. A time to fill our growling stomachs and to catch up with some friends. A few changes have been made in the lunch schedule. The reason behind this change was so that lunches wouldn’t be as crowded and the lines would move more quickly. The addi- tional lunch period resulted in a study hall for all students. The students have a daily choice of hamburgers and grilled cheese. Yet, the favorite choice seems to be the chicken filet sandwich and pizza. Some other favorites are rolls, chocolate chip cookies, and honey buns. During lunch the students do many things besides eating, from voting and paying dues to home- work and studies. But lunch is primarily used for the social as- pect, to plan the upcoming weekend and discuss the past one. If it weren’t for lunch we might not have a chance to talk to some friends and cram for sixth period’s test. Marie, missing that German food yet? Debbie poses but Bene keeps eating.
