Jobs he interests of students vary greatly and to meet their in¬ terests and future goals, their jobs also vary. Senior Ian MacDonald says about his job with a moving company, “You’re never in the same place twice.” Here, in Osbourn, we have everything from the traditional, old fashioned jobs like babysitting to more outdoor, fun and sun-loving jobs like work¬ ing in the zoo. Sophomore John Woodson said about his job in the zoo, “1 like my job because many unusual things happen, like one day a stone crab bit me.” We still have a majority of students work¬ ing in fast food restaurants, such as Sharon Krzywicki who works at York Steak house and Keli Pinder who works at Denny’s. Another student who works in the mall, sophomore Swati Lavani. She said, “Getting up early on Monday morning s wasn’t really my idea of a perfect summer, but when the boss gives me my check, it gives me a sense of accomplishment.” There are many students from ‘Oz’ who work in the mall such as Nicole Johnson and Kristin Fry who work at Brooks, Betsy McGowan who works at Bob’s Ice Cream, and junior Sharon Knapp, and sophomore Carolyn Johnson who both work at Montgomery Ward’s. Carolyn says about her job, “During the summer, I thought a job would be a good idea because it would give me some¬ thing constructive to do. Having a job made me more mature and gave me a lot of responsibilites.” Another sophomore, Sara Straus- burg had an optimistic outlook of her job and summed it all up by saying, ’’You practically hate your job until payday.” Alpa Vanghani Deana Dobratz sits on one of the exercise mac hines at work.

S eptember 2nd, a day of hysteria, was the first day of the 1986 school year. Anxiety was in the air for the class of 1990 as they began their first day of high school years. Many freshmen had different ex¬ pectations of Osbourn. Bryan Ver- rone expected overcrowded rooms and for the upperclassmen to beat him up on the first day. Another freshman, Marijo Augusti expect¬ ed to be lonely and have a bad first day. “It turned out to be a pretty good day. I enjoyed it and it wasn’t what I had expected.’’ Awaiting the new principal was very apprehensive for the sopho¬ mores and juniors. Megan Fravel, a sophomore, said of the principal “She seems very determined to make the school the best it can be.” Sophomore Alpa Vaghani added, “She wants to work a lot with the students and faculty this year.” Sophomore Beth Gibson thought it was a relief not to be a freshman anymore and thought it was fun watching the freshmen get lost. Juniors Angela Washing¬ ton and Crystal Morris expected an exciting day to meet their new teachers and friends. It was the beginning of the end of their high school years for the seniors. The class of 1987 has worked hard for three memorable years at Osbourn; they have learned and accomplished much. Senior Robin Wiles expected her last year to be an easy one. Chuck Thompson also expected his year to be easy and “laid back.” Many seniors were awaiting this day so they could have senior privileges.
