Redskins Taste Labor; Find Money Is Sweet Money plays an important part in the life of many teenagers, and money usually means work. In order to buy the clothes they want, go out on dates, drive cars, and, perhaps most important, go to college, a great number of Redskins have found employment in the community. The Youth Employment Service aids in finding summer jobs for those who apply; a similar service for part-time work during school is performed by North Side ' s guidance department. These services are similar in that they do not seek employment for the teenager, but rather recommend him when an em- ployer requests the aid of a young person. The result- ing jobs cover a wide range, including carry-out boys at grocery stores, service station attendants, depart- ment store clerks, and babysitters. Some jobs aid the teenager in preparing for a career, giving him valu- able on-the-job experience besides an income. Concentrating on somebody ' s new set of dentures, Jim Orcutt carefully drills on an expensive plate. In his summer job at a dental lab, Jim learned to do worthwhile technical work. Apprentice butcher Tom Cross slices off Al Haney brought smiles to many faces while working as Santa. 13

School Service Gives Chance To Help In Offices During every school day hundreds of memoranda are delivered by those students who have volunteered to serve the school and its administration. This service is invaluable to the efficient operation of the school. The task of taking attendance is an enormous one in a school the size of North Side. Absence slips must be collected each period from every class, taken to study hall, and recorded. This involves a good deal of walking on the part of the boys and some accurate pencil work by the girls who help with this job. The familiar yellow slips from the guidance offices are distributed through the efforts of school service volunteers, as are special packages for teachers. Boys who work in the athletic office perform an important duty by watching over the valuables of those in gym classes. Always ready to direct visitors to the right place are those pupils who spend their free time at the information desk. Library workers check the never-ending flow of books. Mark Krieg assists the main office staff by answering calls. 12
