As area businesses expanded and new industry located in Nashville. Howard County attracted national attention for its low unemployment rate. The resulting expansion in the teenage job market created employment for high school students. A need for cash, on-the-job experience to prepare for future occupations, and other reasons motivated students to seek part-time employment after school and on weekends. Limited experience and qualifications restricted opportunities and jobs often did not pay premium wages, but nevertheless, the jobs were available, and students raced to factories, department stores, pharmacies. grocery stores, fast-food restaurants, nursing homes, and other businesses seeking employment.

Students Of Leisure Football, basketball, track, tennis, golf, and baseball gave varsity athletes the opportunity to demonstrate their athletic abilities. But the large majority of students never ran for a touchdown, batted a homer, dribbled down the court, or set a new record on the track field. Some were content to be spectators at athletic events, but others devised forms of recreation to fill their play time. Nashville's located near three of Arkansas' prime recreation lakes: Lake DeGray, Lake Greeson (Narrows to localers,) and Lake Millwood. Sunny days and warm temperatures found many students scattered about Narrows engaged in swimming, sun bathing, waterskiing, boating, and jumping or diving off the famed Chimney Rock. Ashdown’s Lake Millwood was the site of many professional bass tournaments. The bass fishing at the lake was nationally known. Those who braved the pesky mosquitoes often camped waiting for the sometimes stubborn fish to take their bait. Lake DeGray near Arkadelphia homed many ski tournaments and provided an outlet for many amateur skiers, swimmers, and sunbathers. Ardent jogger Kay Marshall journeys daily down Main Street Bingen. On the 1978 Fourth of July weekend at Lake Greeson, Dea Ann Richard showers Stan Staggs with a mist of spray. Jogging became the nation’s fastest growing sport as many books on running and jogging made their debut on book store shelves. Jogging caught on at the ole Alma Mater, too. and the red dog which loafed about campus could attest to the fact that many clompers other than tracksters have made laps around the track. When temperatures dropped, and even the devoted swimmers and skiers no longer could brave the water, a new sport took over. Although a predominantly male sport, deer hunting caught on with some girls, too. Patti Jones and Anna Westfall numbered among the female constituents who hunted deer. Absentees were so great in past years that the school dismissed for one day. November 17, to allow deer hunters to try their luck. Deer was not the only game as hunters preyed upon duck, quail, turkey, squirrel, and dove in their respective seasons. The term “blind low’’ could be heard with increasing frequency at card parties, informal get-togethers, and occasionally in the classroom until they were banned from school. Spades, a game which had caught many students’ fancies several years back, retained its popularity. 14 Student Life Sponsored By COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY
