-Day Life From the first beam of daylight to the last gleam of the sun's rays, North- siders become engulfed in a whirlwind of activities. Some students start as early as 6:30 with a brisk two-to-three-mile run, a fast shower and breakfast, then off to a day of classes. At lunchtime they rush madly to the best eating places near campus. With the bell at 3:10, or 2:10 for seniors, many take off to their after- school jobs, while others stay and work on organization or club projects. All in all, a studentis day life is hectic. ls Roaming the mall after school, Gretchen Borengasser stops at the Coach House Gift Shop to test the latest in Halloween masks. 1'- if z' But a student's life is not all fun and games.

RIGHT: Pricing merchandise is one of the responsibilities of Chris Crank at Osco Drug in Central Mall. Not only did students learn in the classroom but also on the job -teach- ing disco, filling tacos, packing chicken, taking orders, ringing up ever-rising prices and tutoring grade schoolers. With jobs acquired on their own or through Northside's work study programs, students worked for grad- uation credit, for fun, for indepen- dence. Some wanted to be with friends, to escape problems at home, to be able to buy products touted on TV and radio and in newspapers. Others worked because they had to support themselves. At times it looked as if fast food restaurants, offices, and clothing, book and drug stores were completely in the hands of teenagers. Northsiders like Chris Carroll and Janet Caldarera worked for their parents. Chris worked at Mary Belle Lee's Doughnut Shop in Williams- burg Square for his father. Janet helped at Talianois. Some students managed classes, homework, club projects and personal business plus a job, but others had to drop school or a class, forget club membership, quit the job or sacrifice social life.
