Tim Hiitl ry. |oe Hardesty and Greg Miller par- ticipated in cross country, which included going lo a hard-working camp during the summer. These football players worked intensely over the summer to achieve everything they did this year. This picture illustrates what chow time at the men ' s cross country camp would he like. w A Time For Rest? Summer is a time for rest and rejuve- nation. School is out and your time is your own; but is it really? To some summer only marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of an- other. Summer may mean that students are out of school, but they are never away from it. Most athletes, like the band and the cheerleaders, attend camps during the summer to learn new skills and to per- fect old ones. For band members, cheerleaders, football, volleyball and tennis players, cross country runners and even teach- ers, the summer is full of preparation and work. A person hardly recuperates from one year before the next is upon him, but these are the times that will be re- membered.

A large majority of weekly allowances was spent during lunch period. As illustrated here, some- times one lunch was just not enough to cure those hunger pains. |eff Neely, like many people, works at Parkview Memorial Hospital. One of his jobs is taking trays off the elevator and putting them some- where, so they can be distributed to the patients. Greenbacks were scarce Ken Hosier acquires most of his money by work- ing as a busboy at Fish of Stroh. Money is one of those things that is here today and gone tomorrow, ' which for many students was more ac- curate than a penny saved is a penny earned. Money wasn ' t really scarce; it just didn ' t buy as much as it had before. A large percentage of students had after-school jobs, and their occupa- tions ranged from waitresses to dance teachers. Local restaurants and fast food places like McDonald ' s, Wendy ' s, Atz ' s, Penguin Point, Fish of Stroh, Burger Chef, and Pizza Hut employed the majority of the working students, but a large number of people were into retail sales as well. Thorn McAnn. Fashion Barn, Sears, Penny ' s, Fox- moor, Speice, and Glenway Bargain Center were a few of the popular ones. Others earned their money working at local movie theatres, supermarkets, drugstores, or for their parents. With a job came the responsibility of paying for almost everything them- selves. The realization of how much a dollar really bought hit hard. After a person paid for all of the little necessities, there wasn ' t much left for saving or spending. Some were concerned about the amount of time they spent working and never having anything to show for it; they were es- pecially concerned about money for college. Most of their money went for car payments, gas, insurance, school sup- plies, lunches, and other miscellaneous musts. Since inflation was increasing and the price of gas was up over $1, it was hard for students to end up with any spending money. The money they did have, though, was stretched to its limits. There was always enough for athletic events, no matter the sacrifice. Movies became a luxury at $3.50 a shot, and were soon treated like one. The traditional nights out for pizza were converted to nights congregating at a friend ' s house for snacks and TV. Students found themselves, because economic situations, doing the same things that their parents had done when they were young. Surprisingly, they found they liked it.
