Social life sacrifice: working for the big bucks Racing out the doors, you hurried to your car to go to your after-school job. Working for many students was just part of their everyday life; for others, it was just a way to pass their time away. I work for the extra money, and because I like being around people, stated Steph Robinson, an employee at Wendy ' s. Sometimes frustrating and some- times tiring, Kathy Zurbach rings up many Kroger customers each night. Cashier at Elcid, Betty Anderson fills her spare time doing various jobs. Long John Silvers ' employs many New Haven students. Greg Aurand and an ' 80 graduate do their chores during rush hour. Reasons for working varied, but the norm for most was, I needed the extra money, or to get out of the house. Many students worked at jobs which thev hoped to pursue after they graduated. Being out on your own, and earning your own money could help you become dependent on yourself in preparation for the big move out of the house. Decision making, getting yelled at, making mistakes and just doing your best were all part of doing your job.

If you didn ' t use up all your energy in those 4th period activities like volleyball, basketball, or ping pong and needed to vent your energy you may have tried some of these activities passed on by other New Haven students. The bowling lanes in the area — namely Brunswich, Georgetown, and Lakeside — were popular with everyone. New Haven ' s only skating rink. Bell ' s, was a fun spot. Disco-skating provided a bit of a challenge here. And for many students who liked challenges, the bowling lanes, skating rinks, and arcades in the malls were popular hangouts. For the ones who just liked to sit and let others participat e, watching g ' mnastic meets, basketball games, and wrestling meets made for a nice evening. Or taking in a movie was also enjoyable. So as recreational activities go; different strokes for different folks. The ball flies back through the air and heads for the net, moving to return the ball is Todd Raugh.
