Trivial Pursuit, combines fun, knowledge, A students' life filled with jobs, homework For most high school students having a job during high school made for busy long days. Even though students didn't have time to do all the things they wanted to do, at least they had a little money. A job possibly meant that they had to sacrifice some of their Friday and Satur- day nights. Others were lucky enough to work in the daytime, on the weekends, or possibly choose the hours they wanted to work. Students felt that after school jobs were almost a necessity if they had a car and wanted to buy all the extras that made life fun. Others simply worked to have money for dates and food. When after school jobs were mentioned, most people thought of working at McDonald's or Pizza Hut. But anymore students could be found working in places such as day care centers, law offices, department stores, jewelery stores, and some were self employed. Fast food restaurants were not the only place students had jobs. Experience was attained in dif- ferent fields that might some day be chosen as a career. Working, for teenagers today, was not just a way to make money, but a learning ex- perience also. Not all students held part-time jobs during school. Some were involved in sports, that meant after-school practices and games and meets dur- ing the week, leaving little time for work. Homework was enough to consume some students extra time. Trying to keep up with classes and make a good grade was a job in itself. When the weekends came for those who weren't working, some attended the football games and afterwards crowded behind God- father's to talk with eveyone else. While others just went home and sat in front of the T.V. with their favorite snack. When not at school or work, student's spent us 'e - A fu their extra time in a varitey of ways. Redskins' could be found four-wheeling or racing cars at International Speedway. Or for those lucky enough to have their own home computer, they spent time designing files and making up their own games. Although video games were decreasing in in- terest another game acclaimedwidespread fame: Trivial Pursuit. Students found it required a great deal of knowledge in the areas of sports, literature, art, history, geology, and entertainment, Whatever the activity, students did not limit their horizons, anything new was soon challeng- ed and became a part of their after-school or out- side activities.
