with u rn rn e , But that's not ALL summer was about! When that 'ol bell rang releasing fun lovers it also released the dedicated workers to their money-making jobs. With a large percentage of the student body taking jobs during the summer of '76 there must have been some valid reasons. What seemed to be the outstanding reasons for students to give up their freedom and enslave themselves to a higher authority? M-O-N-E-Y was an almost unanimous chorus. Money to spend on clothes, cars, stereos, and special hobbies were several of the replies to the question of what did you use the money for? Collecting college cash was a predominate factor also. For the most part, kids questioned about their summer jobs said that they had been working at local businesses such as gas stations, grocery stores, drug and clothing stores. At these businesses workers had little difficulty getting off for special occasions or plain personal enjoyment. Not only were there local jobs available, but students also managed to some galloping around the country at jobs such as corn detassling, truck driving and farming. These work-hands started early in the morning, merely to slave away in the blazing sun, developing aching backs and blistered fingers. Relief came once a week or once every two weeks when that soothing check eased the pain of poverty. Often jobs were taken in hopes of gaining work experience. Others took their jobs for consuming spare time or getting together with friends. Experience was gained at camps by seniors Anne Six, john Lazio and Tom Siering. Their action was just one of the many ways for students to combine personal interest with a pay check. No matter what their reasons, students gained in some way or another from friendship, work experience or cash. They worked and made it work for themselves as individuals. Combining summer fun with a iob, Tammy Overton plays checkers with one of the children in the Summer Play- ground Program at Grant School. Tammy was the assistant instructor.
